Re: Dumping the Indicators & Loving Small Losses

I finished my blog series which was the subject of the first post in this thread. Now that the journey to profitability is complete, I start a new journey to slowly increase my size so that my income goals can be met.

My hosting provider had a major hardware failure and my site has been down for 3 days now. It should be up again today. It sucks but that's what one gets when one pays $6/month for hosting a website.

Also I must say that I've changed my use of stops a bit.. I don't use tight stops any more. I don't use hard stops actually, I just get out if it's not working. This has taken a lot of experience but I'm doing much better this way. I think tight stops are better if one can be profitable with it, but everyone has to find out what works for them.

To update the thread I have recently started increasing my size. I now trade 2-4 contracts on bund & ES. Once this is more stable then I will increase it slowly (after each month of good results).

He's been helpful to me via email but one has to remember that he has over 4,000 subscribers so I imagine he gets a lot of email.

He's been trading professionally for 16 years so I don't doubt that he makes money but I'm not convinced it's with the sine waves. I think he has a good feel for the markets.

So I don't criticize him or his methods. I learned a lot about the markets & trading with his methods. It's just time to take the training wheels off and trade support & resistance.
That is pretty harsh but I did find his Brian Heyliger endorsement a bit "shady". Brian Heyliger's site got "scam" written all over it. The fact Barry Taylor is endorsing him is not a good sign... I guess it is probably just another revenue stream for him besides selling his indicators.
