Trend following systems

Entering before the trend happens, to already be in the trade before people imagine "a trend". So in other words you need to calculate...here it comes, the crucial point

Im pretty much "reconsidering" and meditating on everything to do trading-wise.

I seriously believe there is a lot of false statements and inaccurate information being shared freely online.

Including trends, definitions of trends (which frankly is extremely "old school" IMHO...i mean, HH/HL???) and pretty much everything out there.

I dont think the "truth" is hidden from us. I simply think by "brainwashing" we simply cannot see nor comprehend the REAL truth behind trading.

I could keep going on and on...

The thing that really ticks me off is these "strategies" that are presented all over the place, on sites of varying quality. If the things they claim are investigated, in other words the indicators or what ever is applied to a chart of the supposed timeframe that it is appropriate, any sane person can clearly see its almost everytime total nonsense. Often some indicators arent used at all and the best possible scenario for a setup is shown, not the other 80% of the other times that it wont work at all. I mean these people presenting this stuff clearly MUST know it is nonsense, and yet the owners of such sites lets all that crap still be around, why? Its totally insane. Its a bunch of psychops, brainwashing BS, 99% of it!

Im not talking about forums and such, i mean they are excused its just regular people presenting things in an overly exaggerated optimistic and braggin way, that is almost understandable considering how people behave in general otherwise. Im talking about all those other sites that costs a little bit (1.000-10.000 dollar +) to make and a little bit to maintain until such time or if they ever are supported by advertisment. This seem so dominant that i am almost suspicious that there is some systematic ways in which real, smart ideas are actually willfully removed or slandered in some way.

Take this fool for instance:



He clearly isnt using the bolly for anything a sane person would, selling in the above and buying in the below. Actually based on that chart that would work like a charm, yet thats not what he is doing! The fact that it spiked and he got some nice TP is totally random, id say he had a 5-10% chance of something like that happening based on the things he had on the charts. But what do i know, maybe he has some inside info or something. But then why do he need the bolly? Maybe hes got a lot of stuff going hes not showing us here, yeah well ok maybe he should show us that then instead of this?


And heres another example:



Yeah this guy is obviously sitting on some super secret information considering the first two perfectly fine places to enter he doesnt want, but the third is fine because the MAs are "stacked the right way". They are obviously stacked the exact same way as last time. A relativelly sane person would perhaps have entered on all three locations and hopefully would have had a tight stoploss and a TP of about the middle of the band or something like that, and perhaps an tight SL, and then maybe would have made some friggin money! But no instead you are to look at the MAs in a magic way and so then when you do this special kind of magic, a kinds of nice sprinkly dust will fill the air and voilá you will get a pile of goldcoins in your lap. If he wanted to tell anybody about anything worthwhile, he would tell us how to spot this magical stacking of the MAs, since thats what seems to matter instead of the bolly that seems sort superflous really. Well if you got magic, you dont need any indicators or statistics! I guess thats what we can learn from this guy.



NOTE: I took these two examples from the tube so as to not offend anyone personally as much. I think that if its on the tube, nobody can get offended for some criticism. Besides if you decide to lie to people, you should be ready to get an aswhopping of truth!
