Guy, I wouldn't respond to Mark or anyone that
acts like he does. I take your input for exactly what it is ....... an input.
Please keep up your posts.
Gene

Subject: RE: New Buy -WATCH OUT NEWBIE - THE JUMPING SYSTEM
TRICK
Mark,You've lost it again, I see. Blowing more
smoke and crying about the skyfalling.First, we're not "jumping
systems" and still hold our S&P futures positionsbased upon our original
buy. And, as I said in my last post to you and thelist, prior to this
trade we are up 200% since last October (on equity),which isn't too bad for
the last 12 months.We always think we can improve our trading
performance. You, on the otherhand, appear to think that you can take
a system (you'll notice I didn't saydevelop a system because I don't think
you would know how) and ride it offinto the sunset. We don't believe
that, and feel that the market's dynamicschange constantly, and that you
need to continually work on improving yourtrading systems. Oh, if we
could only be as perfect as you are, and haveperfect systems but never have
to post any of our trades in advance, andstill feel free to throw stones at
everyone else. It's very easy to sitback and criticize everyone,
Mark. When you decide to put yourrecommendations where your big mouth
is, let us all know.Second, we never claimed to be omnipotent like
you. Our system runs 75%correct and has for the past 15+ years.
This number means that 25% (that's1 out of every 4 trade since you're
mathematically challenged) loses money.Our system is comprised of two
parts. One half is a short-term signal andthe other half is a
longer-term signal (which we call ITS and includes theH700). This
"new" system puts more weight on this longer-term component.Instead of
weighting all 4 ITS indicators equally, we're going to weigh thisparticular
one heavier.Finally, you'll notice I post ALL of my trades, win or lose,
warts and all.I have yet to see you ever post any trades, in advance.
Before you startcriticizing other people who post trades, you might try it
yourself. Or isit true that you're not a trader like someone else
posted here, but simply apromoter, working with OPM?Let's see some
advanced posts followed up by updating your track record ofpublic trades,
your profitability and all of the other standards you try tohold everyone
else to (except yourself). For someone who attempts to holdeveryone to
a high standard, you might try some introspection first.Until you start
walking the walk, let's not hear all the
talk.Fondly,GuyPoliticians and diapers have one thing in
common. They should both bechanged regularly and for the same
reason.-----Original Message-----From: <A

TRICKHello Guy,"PATHETIC" really really "PATHETIC"
the classic -it doesn't work now solets switch horses in mid stream
trick? Guy in the past I saw littlevalue in your trading
post, but now I have changed my mind. You canbe a
guiding light of what not to do
when trying to become amechanical trader. Have
you thought of writing a book or compilingall of your past email post?
As a possible publisher I would recommendthose people who
do those Idiot's Guides, they would only have toreverse
engineer your post to have a comprehensive volume of
works.There are some very valuable lessons here mr. newbie both
trading andhow to wiggle out of public embarrassment - the other
note is to makesure you have a legitimate money making
business on the side if youwant to follow some peoples advice on this
list.GT> List,GT> Well this sure has been an interesting
ride down, especially since wewereGT> long. And yes, I do admit
taking a major loss on this trade.GT> Anyway, we have decided to
switch to a different signal (which we havebeenGT> testing for
months), which had this last sell signal, unlike our currentGT> trading
system that had us on the long side.GT> Guy--Best
