GU hits +15, GY hits +15 and EU tossed in a +10 on those longs. Hope someone saw their potential and traded them.

leledc has made good points and anyone who thinks he is a moron seems to be the true moron to me.

And Edge I dont know what your problem is with leledc, you condescending pompous windbag, but I have taken away much more useful information from his posts here and on other forums than from yours - all u do is post ridiculous screenshots of wonderful repainted charts, trying to act like the pied piper for your newbie flock. Good luck with all that.

Trying to keep it simple, I made a chart similar to Edgetraders and got ten pips, and even on a late entry. I missed out on 10 more at the third vertical bar as I was away. AND, this is even at a bad time to trade.

Havent been lucky today.

4 trades- 2 winning 2 loosing - slightly negativ for today

Next two weeks - Anne stunned everyone with her flashy indicators. Some people jumped into live trading because the indicators were so promising. Tudor Girl herself showed some greed, and euphoria claiming that we've got something great here and wanting to deviate from using proper money management. It's understandable, and I'm sure its happened to all of us at some point.

Then came the insults, the arguments (Edge vs. Notch is the one I remember most).

I don't use this method but I get a kick out of reading it sometimes. Its been a month, thats it. It's difficult to backtest these types of systems because you won't even realize when you're using hindsight. Forward testing for this strategy is the best method. Money management has been the least of people's worries here, which is why many people are experiencing the dark side of the strategy.

You can have the best indicators, its the money management that makes a difference. You can make money with simple support and resitance, if proper mm is used. I'd say 90% of people reading the last comment will brush it off, or assume that they know what it means. It's a shame. If you are in that other 10% and want to learn what it means, read about it first, before judging strategies.

This seems like a common trend for 'scalping' threads.

Thx for stopping by. You fellas enjoy your time together. Nice couple.

Hi there TudorGirl,

I have been following this thread from the start and have been very impressed with your work. I especially love the TudorGirl Hydrodynamic Vorticity indicator. Thank you very much for your generosity, a rare quality nowadays.

Could I join your H1 group to continue the fruitful journey? Could you please send me a PM with the details of how I can join.

May the PIPS be with you.

Hee Anne,

I make just a trade on the 1 hour chart long @ 1.4070
Your indicators are blue en the price is above the daily pivot.

I will join also your group,... if you want ofcourse

You can send me a pm if you want.

Could anybody be so kind and post the Trix Index indy again? If it is somewhere in those 200+ pages then it is quite impossible to find it anyway.
Thanks.
Indrek

You can DL the Trix from THV Cobra System thread on the Trading Systems forum, first page.

Sure

I have his THV Trix already but the Trix Index that I see at people's charts here is somewhat different. Simpler.
Indrek

Thanks a lot
Indrek

And closed at 1.4098 simple as that haha.

Hi Edge,

which is your SL for this strategy? i guess it must be the same 10 pips than your TP, right?

.....so also in this thread.

It seems that people do have real difficulty in even trying to understand anothers view - if remotely different to their own actual or perceived wisdom, just bash it or the guy.

If as traders we are supposedly "disciplined and unemotional" why don't we reflect that before we make posts that are often arrogant, and rude.
I have seen recent rude put-downs to some really helpful and accomplished traders/ coders/ people by those who perhaps are unaware of their contributions in other threads, and have simply allowed their egos to respond.
Rather than take "delight" in what (hopefully not) may well be the end of this thread, is it not a more mature attitude to bring it back on track. Remember that we have all learned something of value here, and used it to our advantage. Remember also that were it not for some who introduced either indicators or thoughts that were not related to the original intent of this thread, many of us would not have progressed on our journeys. So rather than scramble around to abandon ship at the first sign of "discord" pleading "take me with you to your private groups/ forums" hopefully people will get back to the purity of sharing and respect that Paulus started the thread with.
Incidentally, some also seem to be inferring that he's given up on it as well. I don't know the man, but from what I do know, that would be out of character for him. I'm sure he also mentioned couple of days ago in his post that he might not be able to post for a few weeks, owing to his personal issues.
So I hope people stay positive - no offense meant to anyone.

Hi there Gleneagles,

I have sent you a PM. Could you have a look at it please.

It has been good reading your posts with your charts.

May the PIPS be with you.

I love reading this thread! It's so dramatic!

I have a very simple solution. that could get things back on track here.

I have worked many years in the scientific community and understand very clearly what is involved in a development process. Testing is rigorous, and healthy debate is a corner stone of working out any flaws in a theory.

Tudor Girl, being someone who is supposedly from NASA, should understand this well.

(btw: I must say, it's an absolute marvel that she has the time to maintain a thread, answer mails, develop indicators for forex, and trade the market, while working full time as an astrophysicist for a space agency and doing development work for MS. It must be a staggering work load.)

If people have concerns, she should address them with irrefutable fact. That will quell the debate.

Resorting to histrionics doesn't solve anything.

If an indicator repaints the 2 last bars on a 15M chart from the last live bar, (45 minutes total) how is someone supposed to make a financial decision based on that? That is why the repaint issue IS important. When you are not penny trading, or paper trading, and your tool does this to you, you will understand why it's important.

It should be fixed, or if it can't be, admit defeat and move on to the next project.

Probably the most nagging question that has dogged this thread is, are any of the indicators presented here any different from indicators that were created a long time ago, that had the same repaint issues?

Everyone's familiar with the MACD_CCI, and the Forex Freedom Bars, and the work that Sapimas posted on FF for her mini trend a couple of years ago, right?

http://67.192.106.155/showthread.php?t=44216&page=245

There are many, many similar indicators, so whether the Vorticity was Bluto's or Sapimas' really doesn't matter.

The point is, if you have played with indis since 2006, you would know that. If it truly is a breakthrough indicator, than it should stand the test of scrutiny, not have it's "creator" get testy when it's scrutinized.

So, what's the hype about anyway?

I see this thread more of a cult of personality than an empirical development process. It's hysterical to see the way people will fawn over someone who uses a sexy girl avatar and a moniker that she needs love.

Classic!

btw: I do believe TG is a girl, and I take her at her word that she's an astrophysicist.
...but, it would be absolutely brilliant if she was some 14 old kid putting everyone on!

I would love it!

This is the web, so a healthy dose of skepticism about anything presented is necessary.

There are many people that start threads to fleece people of their hard earned money by getting them excited about something that they want to believe in, and then once there are enough true believers, making a system exclusive, then charging for it.

I'm not saying that is what's happening here. I'm saying it's important to be clear up what the nature of this thread really is, because so far, there doesn't seem to be any singular innovation that would justify the hype.

I see a lot of emotions being stirred up. And when people are emotional they make bad choices. I've seen serious developers and traders ignored or driven away when they ask hard questions.

If the true objective of this thread is to develop a trading system on a community forum, the best way to silence the detractors is to stop the emotional antics, address people's questions logically, and put the debate about the efficacy of this system to rest.

Anything less would call into question people's motives here.

Does anyone have these indicators that are on this chart? If you do can you please post them? Thanks
