a: FetteredChinos does have a journal.
Having 3,000+ posts under you name does not make you a good trader. It may make you a “seasoned” member of a “board”, but what does this have to do with respecting the journal of other members? And, what does it say about people who enter someone else’s journal merely for the purpose of throwing around pig slop? Is this what we should expect from “seasoned” members of this board? What type of trash was this when posted in my journal by FC?:

b: just because someone disagrees with you doesnt make them a troll.
Disagree with what? Can you honest answer that question? What are they
disagreeing with exactly? I’d really like to know the answer to that question if you have one. What makes them an Internet Troll is not that they “disagree”. What makes them a Troll is their
intrusion into a Trade Journal with non-sequitur, off-topic, aimless, hopeless rants that provide no one in the journal with any insight into anything being displayed in said journal. THAT is what makes them a Troll of epic proportions even with 1 billion posts under their name.

c: it is upto each individual to determine whether anyone should or shouldnt be on an ignore list.
It is also up to me to determine whether or not I wish to continue this journal while putting up with non-sequitur comment after non-sequitur comment heaped upon off-topic meaningless drivel by the pound. It is also up to each individual to choose to use common sense and civility, as well.
trendie said:
d: your attitude with regards moderators and what they should or shouldnt do is somewhat arrogant.
Then that flies in the face of the link under each individual userid that the “moderator put there”, to report
troublemakers expressly for the purpose of having their behavior corrected. So, when you outrageously call me arrogant, you unknowingly call the Moderators arrogant as well – for it was they who placed the “Report This” link under each of our userid’s. So, you cannot have it both ways. The concept of having such a link is expressly designed for the purpose of suggesting that someone be banned and it was placed there by the Moderators/Administrators of this board. So, are you now claiming that they are arrogant as well? I don’t have admin privileges on this board, so I could not have placed the link there myself.

e: treating people who simply disagree as lesser and unworthy, is just plain insulting.
The one being “treated” here is me. In case you have not noticed. Treated by those naysaying fools who continually interrupt a perfectly fine Trade Journal. You don’t seem to get what’s going on here, do you. Go read this journal from front to back. What do you find? Do you find me creating a Trade Journal and then going negative without provocation inside my own Trade Journal? That would be dumb, if I did that – would it not? The only time you see me
WASTING TIME on posts like these, is when somebody like you
initates some garbage that I end up having to clean up behind you. Your entire post was totally unnecessary as I never
initiated and attack on anyone here.
Your logic makes no sense. One the one hand you say that people should not be treated lesser or unworthy simply because they “disagree”. Did you even think about this
before you typed it? Replay your own words in your head for just a second until the problem with this logic hits you stone cold. You just made my entire argument
for me!
1) I started a Trade Journal with zero negativity.
2) People who disagreed went negative and treated me lesser and unworthy with their continual non-sequitur interruptions.
3) According to
your own logical syllogism, they have insulted me.
If the logic cuts one way, then it
must always cut the other. Thank you, for making my argument for me.

f: ripcord is a valued member who has given good, straight advice. his lack of a journal does not diminish this.
The explain this incredibly ignorant post by Ripcord:
Ripcord said:
That's the most useful and succinct statement posted on this thread. Although it's a shame it's going away as it has provided a great deal of amusement whilst enjoying the morning coffee!!
What does “valued member” mean to you? Does valued member mean making a post containing absolutely zero value whatsoever relative to the purpose for which the Trade Journal was created? Rather than ask an
intelligent question on a subject or material that he obviously did not understand, he instead did what all naysayers do. He engaged in a
passive aggressive cheap-shot. Pure and simple. No one with any degree of honesty whatsoever is going to read what he wrote
in its proper context and disagree with me on this. Rather than
learn something that he obviously did not know, he instead decided to shot himself in the foot.
Now, is that what you call “valued member input”? He did this in someone else’s Trade Journal, not some general thread on some non-specific topic.

g: most of the seasoned members on this board tend to have a cynical attitude and prefer "show-me" results. ( based on replicable ideas, not black-box )
Most “seasoned traders” don’t have a clue about what I’m doing. And, most traders that you will find on this or any other board are not trading at my level of lot size or Cost Basis Per Trade. Nor, are most seasoned traders (as you call them) are seeing the same level of trade accuracy and/or consistency over time. You are not going to “replicate” this trading technology under any circumstances and at any time. This is not a
give-a-way program or a handout and it was never designed to be such.
Furthermore, what do you think a “Trading System” is all about? We
ALL trade with a “black box” and any
really experienced trader already understands this fact. It does not matter whether you are a Conventional Technical Analysis Trader, an Fundamental Analysis Trader, or a New Technology Trader such as myself, we
ALL use
rules based trading methodologies.
1) Trading using MACD, RSI, R1, etc., type tools implies enforcing “rules”.
2) Trading using FOMC, ECB, BOJ, NFP, CPI, PPI, etc, based tools/information implies enforcing “rules”.
3) Trading using Alpha-5P Harmonics, Enhanced Roll-Up Distinct Vega and Integrated Meta Clusters, etc., type tools implies enforcing “rules”.
Numbers 1 and 2 are familiar to everyone on the planet. Number 3, is a tiny portion of a brand new trading technology developed over a six )6) year period.
ALL three form the bases of rules driven trading and are part of the decision support infrastructure that
ALL traders use. These rules can be
coded or left un-coded and used manually. Just because numbers 1 and 2 might not be coded, does not mean that they are not rules based. And, if it is
rules based relative to trading, then by logical extension it is a Trading System, which is the very definition of a “Black Box”.
We
ALL use black boxes. That’s not the question and never has been. The real question is:
How Black is Your Box!

You have the makings of a good study. Your attempts at interpreting the markets as if it were a airplane flight are interesting ( no-fly-zone, radar, turbulence ). I myself think of trading as sailing the oceans, complete with strong breezes, cross-currents, squalls etc.
There is no “no-fly-zone” concept in the trading system that I’ve designed. Radar and Turbulence are not separate concepts in the system, so there is no over relating one concept to another. They are part of the same cluster of indicators. The Radar is a composite core indicator within the system. Turbulence is merely a high level term used to describe what the market is doing, has done, or is about to do. But, thanks anyway for the compliment.

Please dont get too fixated with using flying as an analogy for the markets. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting so pre-occupied with the poetry of the Dashboard, you end up constantly re-interpreting the market as something else, rather than what it is. ( have you programmed a black-swan bird-strike that takes out the entire account ? )
You are going to have to actually know something about this trading technology in order to understand why this last statement really does not apply here. There is no nexus between “re-interpreting” the market as something else and this trading technology. In fact, given the nature of this trading technology, that would be impossible to do. This is not an “interpretive” system 100% of the time. This system is nicely balanced almost 50/50 between trend following model and predictive model. This systems core responsibility is to take
real-time measurements of mathematical structures that conventional TA cannot see.
This system involves mathematics encased by logical wrappers called Algorithms and those include concepts taken from Physics (Sub-Atomics), Biology (DNA Sequencing and Replication) and Aerodynamics (specifically Fluid Mechanics). All of those areas I have an educational background in with the exception of Biology – I had to do a lot of research in that area.
This system is the next best thing to a
living organism for trading. It thinks, it has a pulse, it breaths, and it bleeds. It gets sick and then it heals itself automatically. It self-replicates “good behavior”. It has vision and it can sense and/or detect anomalistic events and make appropriate adjustments in its projections. This is 21st Century Trading. Not anything close to conventional TA.

hope you will post further unambiguous trades, and build up a following based results.
good luck.
If a Digital Dashboard complete with plain English Entry, Limit, Stop and Pip Performance displays is not “unambiguous” enough, then nothing that anyone anywhere in the world could ever post on any forum could be considered “clear”. The Dashboard has got to be the most brain-dead easiest thing to follow. It uses Big Bold Fonts, good character spacing and line separation along with fully 32bit Color. It cannot get any easier than this.

h: it helps to have a sense of humour.
i: failing (h) above, you should get on with Socrates like a book-on-fire. ( little in-joke )
I have a very, very funny sense of “humor” if you actually knew me. I am a total clown among my Wife and Close Friends when we are spending quality time together and I prefer to read the Bible.
However, I have been patient for many years with the unsavory naysaying attitude that prevails in this online trading forum business. So, you are seeing me get a bit tired of the same ole nonsense that comes from jealous people. That’s all – I’m just getting a little tired of their shortcomings getting in the way of people that I’m trying to share things with. If they don’t like what I’m doing, that’s fine. But, they should not interrupt my journal like this with completely moot discourse.
Thank you for your post!
