Thanks to you for having me.

What I'm searching is just a little bit of nice, serious conversation.
And not the arrogance, insults and aggression that are so typical, now, unfortunately, on FF.

Unfortunately the necessary technique is not so simple... LOL
With all the due respect, I spent some years in research trying to understand and practice this.

Mine is just an invitation to explore the history of trading.
Why we have always to re-invent the wheel?

I am always dubitative about a guy who is unable to summarize his methodology and his thoughts

Gann tools can be summarized relatively shortly - of course you need some practice and there is subtleties but you can master 90% of the methodology very quickly - if the methodology "talks" to you

Same thing for Jim Hurst

as for FTI - I did not knew him and following your remarks read his first pages and was discouraged by his generalities and babbling

hence the interest for a summary done by the guys who have read him and master the methodology - if it exists

Guys, isn't passing judgement on each other, and questioning each other's character and abilities, on an anonymous online forum a bit out of place?


What's the problem with accepting each other as we are, quirks and all?

I too agree with Medici's comments.

Both of us have researched and developed strategies that are not posted here in this open forum, as have others and thus our posts, as with some posts from other traders, often seem obtuse, as they are missing our esoteric input.

That's life here in FF.

Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend and looking forward to your inputs next week

Thanks. I was reminded of a recent blog post by Adam Grimes, where he makes a few points that I find relevant to the recent kerfuffle:

 

  1. Simple things work. Simple patterns can show a statistical edge. Trading is not nearly as intellectual or complex as many would have us believe.
  2. There are many different ways to trade or invest; many different ways to make money in the markets. (The good news is that this means that many different personalities and approaches can find success in the markets.) The surprising thing is that all of these ways are hard to find, and even harder to implement.
  3. Most of the things people talk about do not work, and certainly do not work as advertised.
  4. Trading is more about self-control than about anything else—more about what we do than about what the market does.
  5. Expert opinion isn’t worth very much.
  6. Similarly, all these “trading sayings” are highly misleading. There are few universal truths: never add to a losing trade, you can’t go broke taking profits, cut your losses—these, and every other trading proverb, only apply to certain styles of trading.
  7. Solid statistical analysis is important. Human intuition has a place in trading, but it is also highly misleading. A corollary is that sloppy or bad statistics are worse than no stats at all.
  8. Discipline is one of the most important things, but what people often miss is that discipline is a result—a result of process, having an edge, having a trading plan, and developing the skills of trading.

Eur / Usd was the best to trade from FO this morning.

I use the "price crosses MA" as an alert when monitoring several contracts. Its pop-up window is helpful too...
