No one ever claimed otherwise.

Absolutely. I guess my issue isnt with rules, per se, but more with the strict application of them. The edges need to be grey, not clear black/white delineations. Hell, my dishwasher can engage in fuzzy logic... I should be able to as well. I guess ...

I generally pass on this kind of 'barb wide' action, where price is flat and oscilating around the EMA. It is easy to make a couple of pips (since you really do know exactly where price is going and where it should stop), but it doesnt seem worth ...

I completely agree - planning is the essence of everything. I just think some people (not you, obviously) get so stuck on 'rules' that they get into bad trades that they should have been able to avoid, or pass on great trades which they should have ...

Opensource jerkoffs preaching 'information wants to be free!' as a cover for wanting to steal people's work and/or have some sense of nerd superiority?

Someone that trades a strictly rule based system and refuses to think might as well write an EA and go to the pub. Rules are great for beginners, they stop them doing stupid things. At some point, you get beyond that - as Ben put it, 'why would I ...

I'm trying to fix that, I swear Excellent. I really dig your charts, not many people really go into their thought process in so much detail (to be honest, I'm not sure many people think about it in such detail to begin with...) I'm still in the ...

New homes and durables were disappointing, so people are worried that perhaps they have been a bit too optimistic and got carried away with the whole 'everything is fixed now!' thing...risk appetite is headed back down, and so people want out of the ...

That's absolutely terrible - I saw it on the news earlier, and the scenes were just incredible. Donated some money to the Philippine National Red Cross.

Agreed. Its completely worth the money to have access to such a talented group of people in such a specialised area, with no rubbish or unproven BS. If I want feedback on a trade, or to throw an idea up for input from guys who know what they are ...

"For Sale" or "Free for you to pick up"

*edit* comprehension fail. I cant read. One way you might want to consider is to change it from 75% of any of the last x bar ranges to 75% of the average of the last x bar ranges. Either way, this combined with push gmail is awesome. Cant wait for ...

definitely stick with it. Even if you spend 100 hours learning all the stuff Jim/Mike/etc have to teach, think about it in terms of the $/hr it is going to be worth in the long run. Adds up to a pretty killer wage

I wasnt specifically referring to you - I think your post was just the last post I read this morning, so I hit reply.... sorry if it seemed that way, I can see how that would have sounded harsh! No offence intended at all. I just read a couple of ...

That really is a nice thing, makes actually making money a hell of alot easier and less complicated My only gripe here is that there are two groups of posts from last night (not just here, either): people were playing the flow and saw the pin ...

haha. Maybe that is Jim/Merlin/etc's plan: 1. Start forum 2. Trade against whatever is posted outside this thread 3. $$

After browsing through some of the other popular threads on FF, closing it would probably be the best trading system ever released. The average return of the overall userbase would shoot through the roof once people stopped gambing on most of what I ...
