Good point on the methods discussed on this list. And I think that does the
newbies on the list a disservice. As humans, our brains want to form
patterns and see the market respond to pleasant shapes like squares and
gentle waves. IN REALITY, the markets are totally chaotic. You will never
become a professional trader by drawing geometric patterns on charts. But
newbies don't know this. They think that mystical methods have merit. This
list doesn't exist to disabuse newbies of that notion, but more and more it
exists to promote those methods. And like you said, most of the quants are
gone.
List often do have agendas that are not spelled out. And the fact that Mark
attacked BobsKC for being a vendor and now BobsKC is the active
moderator....

It may have to do with how people on this list think. I seem to detect
a strong bias against quantitative methods, and an open-arms reception
to mystical methods. There is *very* little hard-nosed quantitative
discussion on this list, and most of the 'quants' are gone, some by
being banned. It seems that this attitude is desired by the members,
and is not likely to change.
Lists generally have agendas that are NOT spelled out in the
description, and it is these hidden agendas that seem to cause many
problems.
