I've definitely had my ups and downs but the program seems to be coming into its won.
You have to bear in mind a little history and what I do will seem clearer.
1. I got annihilated in early 2000 because I kept 'hoping' qqq would bounce back.
2. I then decided I needed a specific rule set for get in and get OUT. Being a former programmer and a fan of contrarian indicators like vix, pcr gave me a good head start.
3. I don't like losing or quitting and owe a lot to my grandfather for faith and inspiration so I am very heavily motivated.
4. When I started this quest in late 2000, I didn't know one hidden bogeyman about stock posting boards: I lost count of how many people reared up and told me that this could not be done. I got quoted every cliche/meme/soundbite there is, mostly from people who had never done 10 minutes of system work.
In my files section there are a couple files documenting memes and negative thinking. I eventually caught on and later when I listened to 12 hours of interviews from mos.com I got the picture and no longer get distracted by that stuff.
Last but not least, I'm only one of many on thse boards with valuable useful insights.
You CAN time the market!
But only after you trash the big 3 myths.
Myth 1 - its possible to get every point of every move
...Myth 2 - you'll never have a drawdown
......Myth 3 - you'll never have a loss
