Indicator Free Trading - Skunny
I thought it was on your neck.Back to "foot in mouth" - You call this a trading system, we would all starve, lol. I guess I forgot to mention the profitable to where I can live a healthy lifestyle part. LOL
Still treading water as the account gained 0.3% this week. The EUR/JPY position open equity is below.
). Not much more to add to that truth.)about what they speak.
.....save it....)
(I know.....more Jedi talk....
But you gotta do the Yoda parse...Funny how you decided to ignore the most recent equity curve and select an older one. Funny, but not unexpected.
I report ALL my results, good and bad. It's called honesty. Try it.
Of course the driving force was the nice drop in EUR/JPY covered in the last couple of posts. Here's the open equity of just that position management portion of the account:
But you gotta do the Yoda parse...
(in best Yoda voice)
"The holy grail we have."
"The thread you must read."
An open mind is exactly what the defenders of this thread attack every time it appears.
For those with short term memory loss, this whole debate started when funske gave an opinion of the method and very reasonably asked for clarification in posts #4005 and #4018.
Cap88, there is no specific trading method offered here, never has been. Go back and read Skunny's FIRST POST. This has always been about learning HOW to trade, not about handing over any black box system. And stop trying to make funske sound so victimized. Call it Kool-Aid (my fav is Cherry! YUM!) if you like, but this REALLY is a matter of either doing the exercises that Skunny said to do or NOT doing them. The only way to "see" the perfect setup (and I'm still dialing it in myself) is to practice practice PRACTICE....what's so HARD to understand about that?? There's nothing to clarify....there isn't anything that can be summarized in a neat little package for you or anyone else. Can you not understand that the entire process of DOING the exercises, watching price action on Vhands, and doing your OWN testing is what trains your mind to SEE HOW TO TRADE THIS??
The response to funske's questions was basically to call him/her a liar ("I doubt you read the whole thread or did the work"). Then posters started in with the old "read the thread, do the work" copout.
This is not a copout...it's just how it works. There is no shortcut. I don't think anyone called funske a liar unless I missed a post. I know what I posted to him/her was purely meant to stimulate thought and induce action. If I didn't CARE, I wouldn't have bothered. But I can say for certain, if anyone maintains the kind of "sour grapes" attitude like I"m seeing in here now, it really would not matter if there WAS a summary of any "system" of how to trade being offered here. The negativity alone would destroy any hopes of exploiting it properly and those to whom it was delivered would get frustrated and move on to another "system" in about a week. I gotta drawer FULL o' THEM T-shirts...
It comes down to this.... There are usually two very general types of people who read these threads.
1. Those who read the thread from start to finish and do the work. Within that group there are two subsets.
A. Those who read the material, do the work, and make progress, learning to become real traders.
B. Those who read the material, do the work, but who have trouble making progress. The solution here is to keep trying and review the basics until you begin to "see it".
2. Those who do NOT read the material or do the work. These are the ones who MAYBE skim the first couple pages and then go to the END of the thread and immediately post, whining for the most recent copy of the indicator or EA and a summary of the "method"....
I've been in all three categories, historically #2, sometimes #1B, and most recently, #1A. The sooner you get yourself out of #2 and into at least #1B, the shorter your learning curve will be.
When someone comes to my thread and asks a question, guess what I do? I answer it. I don't tell them to go reread 140 pages or to "do more work." And I certainly don't insult them and call them liars. I answer their questions to the best of my ability.
I do too, and that's what I did here. But ya know what? No one here seems to like the answer.The answer lies is in doing the work, not in getting a "summary" from someone who did it for you. Like it or not...
That's why I watch this thread. When perfectly innocent open minded people come in here with reasonable valid concerns or questions, and they get their integrity questioned, smoke blown up their ass and get treated like crap, then it's everybody's business.
Anyone who is an adult and bothers to read Skunny's first post will not be needing your saviour services. If anyone skips to the end and whines for a summary PDF.....then they should just hold their breath and keep on whining.
And when it happens again like it just did, I'll be back.
Kind of odd that you included me in your response to Itguy's post. My post was not addressed to you at all personally. Did you have some sort of "Freudian AHA moment"?
Hello Scott [cap88]
I wanted to say how rare and inspiring it is to hear you debate, while some are cursing and yelling [in a public forum] at you, you reply with clean and logical reasoning.
I ask myself why people react so badly the way they do, and what I believe is, they are not genuinely happy.
I appreciate your view and the way in which you present it.........
with much respect,
Dean.
