At the risk of veering wildly off topic, please let us know when you've opened up your brokerage account and have started trading futures. No, no. ... please let us know when you have taken your first trade. :eek:
People point out the cracks in your facade so you label them as "detractors" and pretend that it makes the gap between your claims and reality disappear. What a convenient excuse to avoid explaining, for example, why you failed to turn $10 thousand into $1 million in 100 days like you promised your IBD group you would: http://www.mediafire.com/?1gi2qygm3yh This is a great example because the link lets people hear you yourself make the promise. And unlike backtesting you can't blame the results on somebody else. What was your excuse for the worst performance -24% in the trading contest again? What was your excuse for not showing proof of how you routinely make 3X daily range in ES? I could go on and on but you have as many excuses as you have claims. More koolaid anyone?
Jack, Thank you for demonstrating, once again, that you cannot produce one piece of profitable trading evidence. It is with great pleasure that I now place you on ignore and moving pass your bullshit and delusions of grandeur. Back to my humble price action based trading.
Daniel33 (formerly susanaDT): I feel I spent personal time addressing your personal want or need about "evidence". If a broker, as a thrid party, views the prints on a net 1.7 million dollar profit involving 31 trades that day and THEN takes a BEHAVIORIAL ACTION to offer discounts to new clients who use the methods, then anyone reading his comments and discount offer may possibly be able to draw the conclusion that "evidence" was provided. This didn't work for you even though it could be searched out from long ago. You can now use the 68 page document on AHG for PA trading. It is a collection of rules, etc and anek's followers compiled it. While anek has moved on and you have closed your effort when a beach trip came up, there are others who use price action avaiable to you. There are many ways to make money. Thank you for ignoring me.
That is amazing stuff. My wife spent a few years learning T'ai Chi and actually got to a place that her and one other student had to ask the instructor how they could turn chi off She was telling me T'ai Chi is learning how to take energy, and rather than oppose it, to move with it and use it as part as yourself. Instead of an opposing force that you try to stand in the way of, you rather understand that the energy will get to where it wants to go, and so you step aside, or you piggyback onto it if you want to move with it. This sounds incredibly relevant to trading psychology to me. In trading, many people experience the fight/flight increased heart rate etc when profits or losses are high, when they have some skin in a trade. It seems the same philosophy of alert detachment that you can master from T'ai Chi is very much relevant. The market becomes not something you can control or need outcome x to happen when you are in the trade; you fully come to terms that it will do what it will do, and your goal is to step aside or ride the energy. In this fashion you can detach yourself from the negative mental state outcomes that are frequently the result of fight/flight (big profits and losses), allowing you to trade more alertly and logically. Personally, I'm planning on taking my first T'ai Chi class in about 3 weeks (I'm out of town for a few weeks), I'm looking forward to it.
