    It is better to let them alone and to let folks make up their own mind as to whether Jacks teachings are valuable or not. Some will not find them to be of value.... But some will.

    Of course, rational people like yourself and 99% of the members on this site can think and act that way.

    But T666 and Mandel are mentally disturbed in such a way that they need to justify their existence and they cannot find any other way to do so. They came this far and they have amassed a motherload of information... even though they do not benefit in anyway nor does anyone else, they will keep going.

  5. ROTF ... we all know Trader666 doesn't daytrade, which requires:
    a) an extremely narrow focus for short time periods
    b) high execution costs vs. profit margin, and
    c) low probability of success

    T666 has a life and is smarter than ... well, your average Hershey Stooge, so "T" does the position trading game which requires:
    a) a wide general focus
    b) extremely low execution costs vs. profit margin, and
    c) relatively high probability of success. When trading leveraged products, you just need to make sure you have sufficient equity and ability to sustain adverse overnight price movement.

    Cheers :)

  7. The argument acutally sounds very cogent ... except for the fact that anyone who was rationale wouldn't be following jack hershey in the first place! :eek: :D :cool:

    And when it comes to amassing information, believe me, we've been trading our assess off. (hint PRICE ACTION) is the key to successful trading, not this price/volume algo that you keep going on about! :)
