it was interesting seeing a chain of comments related to my
posting (maybe some other trial members as well). I am ok with all
sorts of reaction but I want to share some of my thoughts just to
entertain you:
- the theme of my last few postings is that I feel quite a few
people's mindset is fixed in a box (such as so-called road map EW
theory). remember there are hundreds of interpretation of EW chart.
just as any other technical analysis, it just offers all sort of
probabilities - I don't even think you should map the future using
this system
- I am a little disappointed by some of the responses I got
after I post my messages. For example, today I was just addressing
one of the member's posting about buying SRS and short the market.
I got a message shortly from Matt vigorously defending his SRS
system and how much percentage of gain he had historically. dude,
did I comment on how ineffective his mechanical system is? NO. then
why in the world I am hearing all these defensive words?
- I agree if some members or trial members post messages that
are irrelavant to this blog, you need to do something about it (I
think I saw quite a few political ones). But if someone says
something that you hate to hear because you just want to get your
view confirmed and anything else is bs, well, my friend, you have a
long way to go to be a man.
i wish you guys enjoying the trading and everything else,
I find yago's posts quite different in tone. I think it is
actually useful to have an "outsider" come in and point out what
might be perceived as a bullish or bearish bias (from the members
is not the moderators) -- I think the general philosophy here is to
let go of opinions about the future and trade what the market gives
us -- so not so bad to get a reminder if we start to have an
"opinion" sneak back in on us even if it's in the form of a lot of
"bearish" posts. Just my 2 cents
I've posted nothing about all this -- so forgive me matt for
contimuing the thread -- but the problem with the "problem
postings" was not that they raised questions about the ideas and
market approaches of people on the blog. That would be
fine. The problem was that they wanted to question and debate
the merits of technical analysis and short-term trading.
That's ridiculous. And a complete waste of time for people
already on the blog. -This IS a technical analysis and
short-term trading blog. Of course those are the ideas and
approach of the blog participants. People here don't want to
debate THAT. Debating about different stances or approaches
within TA -- or the best WAY to short term trade -- that would be
fine. But debating the very reasons the blog
exists..................WTF -- just go someplace else.
I have kept quiet...but I would appreciate it when we invite
someone into our house, (for free) that they would be curtious
enough not to be so presumptious as to tell us what we are doing
and how we are doing it....and then take your ball and go
home...see ya
Well stated - we encourage diverse thoughts/opinions here.
However, it would be better to show charts etc. that serve to
support your opinions versus simply making critiques.
We certainly don't have a handle of a fraction of the good ideas
out there so we certainly would love to hear from everyone.
Just keep the posts productive to keep the blog free from
clutter.

Let me see. Bullbull was difficult. After a series of inappropriate posts, he promised that his latest post would be his last. It wasn't.
Next, Mktcall was difficult. Made the same promise and didn't keep it. I suspected all along that Bullbull was Mktcall, and it turns out that he was.
Now Yago promises that this is his last post.
Anyone see a pattern here?
Yes there is a definite

We need more data samples

We need more data samples for any reliable patterns... maybe someone need to backtest the annoyance system? lol
That was genuinely funny. Thanks.
