I have made no secret of the trading methodologies I use - I've posted tons
of charts over the years not to mention detailed trades complete with
charts, entries, exits, and stops in real time. I have generally not
hesitated to answer questions regarding my trading methods for any reason
other than time constraints. I have no need for a public ego trip and there
is nothing else to be gained, so a trading contest holds no personal
interest for me.
