Kent,
 
Honest questions derived from professional 
curiosity and a sincere desire to improve all our trading skills, no 
intent other than what is clearly stated below is implied or should be 
perceived.
 
You said "IN REALITY, the markets are totally 
chaotic".
Do you believe the markets are totally random and 
contain no patterned behavior ?
I believe a detailed study of the historical 
price activity of each market does reveal a definitive patterned and 
predictive behavior for that specific market.
 
You said "You will never become a professional 
trader by drawing geometric patterns on charts".
Did you believe there is no geometry involved in 
market price behavior ?
I believe that a detailed study of the geometrical 
behavior of historical price activity for any given market does reveal geometric 
patterns that can be extremely powerful in predicting future price activity 
behavior for the specific market being studied. 
 
I would be extremely interested in opening a 
dialog with you via the list as I believe we could explore these 
positions/beliefs to the benefit of ourselves and many of the 
other subscribers to the list.
 
God Bless and best wishes in all your future 
endeavors,Tom

  Good point on the methods discussed on this list.  And 
  I think that does thenewbies on the list a disservice.  As humans, 
  our brains want to formpatterns and see the market respond to pleasant 
  shapes like squares andgentle waves.  IN REALITY, the markets are 
  totally chaotic.  You will neverbecome a professional trader by 
  drawing geometric patterns on charts.  Butnewbies don't know 
  this.  They think that mystical methods have merit.  Thislist 
  doesn't exist to disabuse newbies of that notion, but more and more 
  itexists to promote those methods.  And like you said, most of the 
  quants aregone.List often do have agendas that are not spelled 
  out.  And the fact that Markattacked BobsKC for being a vendor and 
  now BobsKC is the activemoderator....Kent-----

  Not a list where anyone with an email account tosses outKR> completely 
  hypothetical crap about what the market may or may notKR> do over a 
  hypothetical timeframe.  How about you?It may have to do with how 
  people on this list think. I seem to detecta strong bias against 
  quantitative methods, and an open-arms receptionto mystical methods. There 
  is *very* little hard-nosed quantitativediscussion on this list, and most 
  of the 'quants' are gone, some bybeing 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 thedescription, and it 
  is these hidden agendas that seem to cause 
  manyproblems.To
