mp, I'm not sure what ideas you got in your head, but my comments on Paul71 and your post, was actually giving you the benefit of the doubt. You obviously interpreted this the other way around, so before you start throwing insults around... 😕
"benefit of a doubt " - - im giving you the benefit of a doubt and not calling it outright plagurism ! When you started this I remarked how loud the ECHO of my own words were in your thread, and thats what im upset about !
...perhaps you should read again what I posted, instead of putting worths in my mouth. I said I used diagonal lines myself, but it's not because the trader draws a line somewhere that price will act on that line. Unless that line represents something fundamental. This thread however, isn't about your system, or about mine, or about anybody's system, it's about showing that you don't need anything else than a chart. You've contributed to this discussion with some good points, but please can we keep it calm and rationally. I have not attacked you anywhere, I'm sorry if you felt it that way.
Its NOT about anyones system --- here we are in full agreement. I was commenting on Pauls statement that they dont "exist" and since they appear on everyone of my charts, its funny how good something that isnt really is --- there is nothing more fundamental and accurate than an LRC, as the programs algorithms keep it self adjusting as pertains to support and resistance --- it is a point of VERY careful study and to be observed continuously, as we see the DOW bounced at the bottom LRC, went to the top and bounced down again, showing where it will arrive on the downside --- once that point is reached, we watch for a breakdown or a bounce --- pretty good stuff for something that DOESNT EXITS and nice to know that it also predicted the down move and the tp point 2 days prior to the event !
Im not pushing the LRC on this thread, although its simply two VERY ACCURATE trend lines and its pretty DARNED GOOD FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESNT EXIST, PAUL !
It seems to me like you're taking this all a bit too personal. Whether or not this has been discussed before is irrelevant, especially if I never took place in the previous discussion. Given that there are almost 100000 members on this board, it's very likely a number of elements will come back and be discussed by other people.
when i spend weeks discussing something that NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE DISCUSSED BEFORE -- how to play news based on price action, received the disagreement from all the senior "guru's" on this site, put up with the arguements i received while others started trying those ideas and found they worked, and then watch as someone comes along and puts forth my words almost to the sentence, i get a mite rankly !
Ive brought forth approx 5 NEW ideas to a bunch very set in their ways, gotten a heck of a lot of rep points in a very short period of time cause i must be saying something right, and I DONT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE TURNING AROUND AND SAYING IT AS IF IT WAS THERE ORIGINAL THOUGHTS, not after ive already taught how its done only a week before !
As for stops, this thread is not about stops, there are at least a dozen others out there that debate stops. If you want to engage in a discussion about that, by all means. But this is not the thread to do so.
