Jeeez Avery, on how many forums are you pumping this? And don't say it is to help folks, because you will never answer their questions anyway. At least not without the snakeoil condescention or evasive language.

 

Here's a thought, instead of posting screen shots all day long on several forums, why not trade and make money with the "indicator/code"?

 

I see you are now selling T-shirts.

 

:helloooo:

When dealing with trading online, we just never know who is or who isn't what they claim. No way to really know. Why even bother?

 

Seems the only way to know for sure is to be able to observe someone trading live for a period of time. And how many people do we see that either post trades prior to the signal, or put it out there real time in a chat of some sort? Very few.

 

After all, anyone can post dozens of dead charts with 'alleged' trades and come up with all types of hindsight reasons for certain trades, or a trading methodology. We just never know with the internet and all:confused:

Sounds like a good idea for a thread, maybe reading charts in real time, or something like that.

That sounds like a novel idea, too bad such a thing doesn't exist yet:roll eyes:

Hi TRO

 

I am amazed at this thread, pages after pages of ongoing controversy, why?

When I land on a site or thread which has no value for me in my trading, I just ignore it, why get involved in heated debates and arguments post after post, surely there are better things to do, pointless:))))

 

TRO, I have strayed here a bit late, so you will have to excuse a dumb question:

Could you please elaborate on the following:

1) Only trade if there is a 1, 2 or 3 semafor on the current or previous H1, H4 or D1 candle. NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

2) After you see the semafor on the chart, look at the chart for the long(indigo) and short(magenta) triggers based on TRO RAT ZONE indicator

 

What exactly is "semafor" and TRO RAT ZONE

 

Think there is value in your simple trading approach though not necessarily for everyone

and in that respect, folks should be grateful for your effort.

Happy holidays

Just for further discussion Rigel, I think that essentially was the point of my initial post in this thread. It doesn't really make any sense to question or dig into the genuineness of any one person. We see dozens upon dozens of posts about different methodologies or systems. Most posting being in hindsight.

 

We can all just simply treat the internet like a grocery store and take what we want and leave what we don't. As mentioned by even TRO, that "it's not what you trade but how you trade it." This statement makes total sense. There is NO holy grail, and there is NO one way to trade the markets.

 

Even if an internet person doesn't even really trade, they may be able to help someone else. We never really know unless we observe someone trading live for a period of time. And nobody really does that, so we should just read and accept what we want, and ignore everything else.

TRO is a moving target.

 

If you go through his old posts in various forums on the internet,

you will see a recurring pattern:

 

1. he tells you what a great method/system he has (with colorful tempting charts)

2. gives you some indecipherable buzzwords to make you feel inadequate

3. re-directs you to another site (tells you to google)... promises you more information over there

4. suggests that if you make a donation, he will give you the other half of the indicator

(he won't say it explicitly, but you get the message)

 

MOST IMPORTANT PATTERN:

5. Two months later he comes up with a "new" and "improved" indicator

 

The cycle repeats. LOL

 

 

He has done this to the TradeStation/EasyLanguage community for a few years.

I guess the TS/EL people got smart and nobody is buying is indicators anymore,

so he has moved on to the MT4 crowd.

 

The cycle repeats. LOL

Tams, over the past 15yrs I have noticed that what you have outlined is not unique to this thread, it is far more prevalent than we think.

Sometime back Joel Pozen , so called price/vol guru pulled in suckers from here on the VSA thread.($5000 course, having seen the outcome from a colleague who enrolled into one, can tell you he would have been better off getting the free stuff available here on the Wyckoff forum)

 

Similarly Sebastian Manby enticed countless into VSA club (suckers have piled in paying $150/month, hell , beats trading in real markets, does it not with that kind of money rolling in every month) Tom Williams, Gavin, the whole circus is now profiting(wonder if any donations have been made to Soultrader:)))) for allowing 2 or 3 mammoth threads to proliferate here.

Numerous concerted effort has been made my DBphoenix, Bearbull and others to highlight the fact that VSA is merely a derivative of Wyckoff and that it would a lot cheaper to study the original source.

What started off as a one or 2 man outfit here in UK struggling to market VSA software for even less than $250 is now being sold like hot cakes in US for over $5000:)))))) plus over $3000 dollars for various DVDs, courses etc, and then add on top $150/month, plus ongoing seminars and weekend retreats for detailed hindsight chart analysis,

WHY THIS IS SO: SIMPLE, there are gullible traders outthere who believe something unique is on offer here, not realising the fact that it is just regurgitation and distorted version of nearly 100yr old principles elegantly elucidated by Wyckoff

 

So in that respect TRO stands out as a magnanimous angel

Personally I have an open mind, I will monitor the markets with hourly chart and observe for myself the simple method he has outlined ignoring all other talk about this or that indicator. and that really is all that is required. If there is value, I will incorporate into my trading or else just move on, certainly won't persist here and engage in bashing exercise post after post.:))))))

You can flatter him all day, but you will NEVER get a decent response on any question. Buzz around the stockfetcher forums and you will see the same...ET, same, here, same.

Oh and BTW (as if you will answer, LOL). What about all the rest of the "indicators" that were the holy grail (RFR, FadeGap, Milk the cow).

 

Hell, you should be intimidating the Goldman traders by now!!!!!!

I have exchanged ideas with TRO over the years (several times over the telephone) and have profited from his work. His methods are not the ONLY ones I have in my toolbox. If TRO's suggestions don't work for you, then move on. I don't understand why there is so much hate (jealousy?) toward him. ;)

The real story is back when I was coding TradeStation/EasyLanguage ALL of my indicators were FREE. You can still download them for FREE.

 

My TradeStation account was closed after the president of TradeStation was dumb enough to call me and leave his personal cell phone number. I thought it was his office number, posted it on my Yahoo forum. The next day they shut me down. Obviously at least one person used that number to voice their displeasure that I was banned from the forum.

 

The president of eSignal offered to reinstate me if I would delete certain posts from other forums. To me, that is too much like Orwell's 1984 and I refused.

 

I have coded hundreds of FREE MT4 indicators. FULL VERSION not half.

 

No one has bought any of my indicators because I do not sell indicators.

A semafor is a "signal" or "sign". It's an old railroad term. The 3 Level ZZ Semafor indicator plots a "1", "2" or "3" semafor for 3 different zig zag periods. I am not the original coder of this indicator. I have modified it extensively.

 

The "RED" RAT ZONE is the area between 20 pips below the daily high and the daily high.

 

The "GREEN" RAT ZONE is the area between 20 pips above the daily lowand the daily low.

 

Price usually leaves these rat zones when it retraces off of the daily high/low.

Can you prove your allegations?

 

Instead of making personal attacks, why don't you use facts and figures to prove my method doesn't work? This is Traders Laboratory after all. The name of the forum implies testing and experimenting.

    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
