All vendors will be required to get 'chips' implanted in the neck :rofl: That way you'll be alerted any time one comes close...

With the demise of the EUR as a functioning currency increasing in probability on a daily basis, what do you see emerging to take its place? DM ‘coming back’ of course – it never left actually… see OP . But, with the coming currency wars, will it be in the same 'fiat' type form as now? The CHF won’t / can’t stay pegged to ‘DM’ and will be a thick player ( at least as long as there is a war industry left on the planet). But what about the other players? France, in particular? FF succumbs to being a thinly traded mkt like pre EUR? etc. Thoughts? Thanks.

btw, Tams, I was never talking innovations. I’m talking about functional, clean, reusable, quality code … DynamicFibsSR is actually just another tiny niche…one has to know (of course, how, but much more importantly) when to use it… useless to those not of that niche… just like some of the "enduring" uselessness -like “MACD, RSI, or Stochastic” etc

Just one? OK TRO_DynamicFibsSR

If we can't "bash" a vendor, it doesn't really make sense that we can praise them either - so I'm probably out of line here under the new laws but ...the amount of 'curvefitting', etc. is miniscule compared to the base quantity of quality projects TRO initiated and followed up with multiple rounds of timely fixes, improvements and enhancements (from requests and unsolicited), integrations, etc .. :haha:I tell ya -It was frickn ADHD for a couple years there ... so - whether measured by quanity or by quality - the body of work he contributed freely is probably the largest and best on the planet That said...the sheer general uselessness of much of that code illustrates one of the points I was making over in the VVV thread - each vendor's market is actually only a tiny niche...ultimately no need to label / brand them at all

looking at the markets thru googles of supply and demand made all the difference to me too :rofl: ... same questions still... Is the "wick of the pivot bar" the basis of the APA Zones? Is the APA algorhtm disclosed? Have a great weekend all...

BocaCrazy re: "Please could I just ask one thing... where can I find an explanation of the purpose's and usage of all the indicators in the "Never Lose Again" file? " For history of all his stuff, check TradeStation forums – unless they censored/deleted his lodes, and kreslik.com - Traders Community :: Index, and the forum of his current platform, etc Having now been labeled as a vendor, this is a great chance for TRO to, as Optiontimer puts it, “answer their flippin' questions for cryin' out loud!” (I’m probably breaking some new unspoken rules here, but), in TRO’s case, you might be better off just sending him some money :rofl: See below… steveh2009, this has some carry over from my posts on the Vendors, Vendors, Vendors thread, but it is perfectly ok for a vendor to leave the burden of ‘statistics’ to the consumer! Plus - you, the consumer, sets the purchase price of his products and ideas … Plus - No! He is not promoting the sale of services… He loathes servicing people and teaches that we really must learn to service ourselves. I doubt you would be so quick to judge if you knew the sheer magnitude of high quality ‘re-usable’ code TRO has contributed to the trading community over the years. … probably more than anyone else on the planet!

MacD, re “But standing in the way of of labeling vendors…” Maybe ya’ll inferred I was standing in the way of labeling vendors, but I’m not. I even offered a suggestion for ways to do it. I basically don’t care whether they are ‘labeled’ or not. All my comments came when I noticed a large percentage of the posts indicating projections on and sure misunderstanding of vendors’ roles. It might have unintended consequences, but at first glance MMS has made wise choices :haha: on his way to Germany :crap: Optiontimer re: “If you have something to share, share it. If you want $$money$$ for the secret decoder ring that makes it work, say so up front in the very first post. Otherwise, if people have questions, answer their flippin' questions for cryin' out loud! " Amen brother!

Could be a wave of that coming...

doubletop11, et al, Good points about SR being "relative", intermittently powerful, etc. Even though I use them all the time (under certain mkt conditions), in my mind they always seem like they have the 'strength' of a vapor trail in the sky... ??'s You mentioned the "wick of the pivot bar" for zone creation; which, at first glance, is not creating quite the same zones as those used by Seiden (Wycoff, dbPhoenix,). Basically, Seiden's appear to be roughly centered around horizontal 'congestions'. Is the "wick of the pivot bar" the basis of the APA Zones? Is the APA algorhtm disclosed? joshdance, re: "Whatever method one uses to "map" the market to identify value and trade location, whether it's an EMA, fib area, POC, VWAP, pivot, prior support, round number, or anything else--the difficulty in trading is essentially this--will the market reverse at this area, trade through the area, or rotate around the area?" Good post. ... was dealing with this same issue over in the http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/technical-analysis/10474-your-mean.html thread ... that question produced five pages of stuffing and 3 answers to the question ...even at TL Thx. zdo

re: "If I could pick any criteria on which to focus the attention of trading newcomer on it would be those with real records of trading success." I understand what you’re saying - but …I would not pick that criteria and would advise others against it ! The hitch - the 'priceless' / 'invaluable' info that the proven profitable trader might share is ultimately no more transferrable to student traders than drivel from the shysters... Over the years, I personally have learned more and have gotten more usable 'best info' from trading vendors who were actually highly developed in their areas of representing and reading the markets (but who had other weaknesses that kept them from putting it all together like a wizard) than I have from the 'real' wizards. I even daresay I learned as much from observing their foibles and learning what not to do as I have learned from the 3 famous wizards I’ve had sustained relationships with… believe it or not – that can be an incredible waste of time Basically my point is - the match btwn what a vendor is offering and nature and trading style of the consumer thoroughly dwarfs the weighting of the quality of the vendor re “…No one is talking about insta banning…” etc. ok...but the madness of crowds waits and waits then erupts

:haha: Dear Ben, Please Print Us More Money

Tradewinds, Have you looked at Michael R. Bryant's CPDensity ("Consolidation Pattern Density") EL code? I've never used it so not sure that it's applicable here - but maybe will help... :crap: I have some quality, open EL that extends TL's from (near) top and bottom of most recent 'congestion' - but I haven't been able to find it!!! Will keep looking... and will tell you if I've given up. Does anyone know how Seiden would handle absence of these zones in recent part of chart? zdo

Do or Die, And thank you! It’s kind of incredible that I haven’t had more to say about your contributions. In my trading, everything is centered around what you are calling ‘regime analysis’, but alas, our ways of getting there are so disparate I have not been able to even come up with any good feedback. Still, your contributions are appreciated. All the best. zdo

(new, good grief) Law of nature: Birds that fly just the right number of times never ever get shot down

My thoughts when I read that - One more time – EVERY vendor can only service a tiny niche. Even if they believe and claim their ‘product’ is the applicable ‘answer’ for all traders… Even if noobs are thinking “if only I could ___ ___” or “that would help me with ___ ” ,etc. when they are shopping the promotional material… In my world, I see whole subgroups of traders to whom LBR’s body of work would be at best a distraction… and, please understand, that is definitely not disrespect of her contributions to the field. I bought Street Smarts and listened to seminars, etc and don’t regret it one bit - even though I have never used one of her techniques besides gathering some inspirations and developmental ideas from the volatility contraction / breakout material. As a noob, way back when, I consumed tons of “systems” and “training” - like an adolescent whale sucking in krill. Way expensive, expensive, moderately priced, cheap, free – it didn’t matter. Folks, we’re talking 6 figures over the years and untold associated time,etc. ‘costs’! Looking back, I don’t remember getting ripped off one time. I do remember exercising the performance guarantee / asking for my money back a few times – and getting it. And I do remember thinking “well buying that one was stupid” , etc. :crap: But that was my path… When I scan clMacd’s lists, I see maybe one scammer (and maybe a couple who are scamming and don’t even know it :helloooo: ) . I see all different types of marketing, promotion, and pricing of “professional” services. For example, send TRO $5, and you’ll get many multiples of $5 worth of code and modeling of trading state. Many end up sending him more money afterwards --- and of course, many, many more never ever really utilizing his ‘sht’ at all… So, from my perspective > as a noob I would appreciate maximal opportunity exposure herein from a plethora of vendors. > mostly because they ALL only actually target a tiny niche - the new, low exposure self promoters, the vendors who aren’t very good at promotion, etc, etc should be as “definitely welcome” as ex-Market Wizards If posters are going to ‘disclose’ their vendor status at all – by sneaking in links or email addresses etc... MMS, in addition to your 1 X 7 inch spots, have you considered placing 2 by 2 grids of 1/4 “ X 1/4 “clik banks” for the tiny vendors? It wouldn’t be a huge revenue source for you, but at least it could force ‘legitimization’ on them all.

OP, Depends on that individual trader's true nature... Equivalent question would be something like "is that bird flying too often?" zdo ps great post, wrbtrader

venders, vendors, vendees wad this up in your panties A story missing from our media: Iceland's on-going revolution

re: "US dollar is done " Wish I could be as categorical... but I'm not so sure $ is done (yet). ... as we speak though, I'm exiting USDCHF longs...

Full hedge still on... Matching yesterday's size, just lifted another 20% of the outright/spec shorts at a little bit lower than current prices. Again...may be making the 3rd mistake - "getting out too early" ... we'll see if they keep 'stepping in and standing' at 1700 Have a great day and weekend all...

"A BAD ADDRESS" [and] [and] Bruce Krasting My comment would be it already became a "bad address" some time back. My questions are how much worse will it get / is the worst of the 'consequences' over for Eur?
