Well there is the rest of the forum for good contributions too I hope Bel.
I'm doing some introspection here lol and trying to analyze what's bugging me about the whole thing.
It's not the indicators as such.
I have the greatest respect for wasp who trades very successfully off of price alone but i think that's a question of how people are wired.
I'm a rightbrainer so I'm visual, I guess wasp is too, even though I always have some on my screen nevertheless, not as decision makers per se but simply as tools.
Grey is a leftbrainer I'd say so more mathematical, more rules bound, for which indicators are fine as they go.

But that said I've never been in the camp that only one method works and everything else is crap for losers, nope, I'm in the camp that as long as you're net profitable that's fine even if you look at sun moon cycles, hehe.
I mean look at Market Wizards, the only theme in common there was respect for risk and cutting your losses short.
Essentially thirty years ago Marty Schwartz was doing what these guys are doing here, picking reversals off of multi time frames via indicators including moving averages for trend and stochastics etc.
Made
him on average (non-compounding) 33% / month that did,
far more than being proposed here.
So that isn't my problem.
My problem is marketing this as a holy grail which very clearly it's not as per my explanation of the mechanics behind Grey's trading above, or looking at Marty Schwartz who had the same approach yonks earlier as did most floor traders anyway, who were largely always faders.
And on top of that my major grievance I suppose is that Grey was someone who always shared freely, not saying he had the grail but he did have lots of very interesting things to share like many of us here.
But then what started out as a friendly chat hey presto out of the blue turned into a commercial venture.
And by a to me totally unknown third party.
JJ I wish you no harm, you've had a very tough time with your baby who almost died of coddlers death and that I can absolutely imagine is an absolute nightmare.
Maybe that is part of why you want some additional security in form of this added income stream.
And not having kids I really do not want to judge such a situation.
Maybe that is also why Grey helped you out.
But, I guess that really brings me to the heart of why I feel bugged about this:
Why didn't you guys simply say so from the start ?
Why start out saying Grey wanst to do a chat room where to be honest I go looking more for fun than anything else but thats just me.
Why didn't you just say from the outset look I'll establish a track record for several months with the objective of then starting a signal service ?
I mean there is a market out there for that so who am I to judge.
I just did not like the subterfuge which imo was entirely unwarranted.
But as I said earlier to each their own, and I do hope your little baby girl stays fine.
