Ow. See, that's the reason why I'm wary of crude. Big green candle got me out.
Is there a complete record of Armstrong's trading?
Is there any record of Armstrong's trading that isn't on his site?
Also, are there any people who have followed Armstrong's calls for years and still go with him? Remember, even if Armstrong's computer is as great as it is purported to be, it doesn't matter if one can't understand it. It needs to be objective and 'lines in the sand'. The timing model isn't really that. The Reversals are. How accurate are they? Who knows. An objective win-loss record is needed.
That's right. "it doesn't matter if one can't understand it"
Armstrong NEVER had any real trading record, unlike MANY other stock newsletters that I subscribed to. ALL reputable stock newsletters will always attach a date for their recommendation, along with the price at that time.
A profit cannot be made without a buy and a sell (and doesn't matter which comes first). Either you enter the trade based on timing or based on price, but there must be a buy and a sell. In the case of not calling the "sell", the assumption is that you buy at the right time, and the "sell" price will be the current market price. You cannot claim any credit, if you have never put out a buy call with a DATE stamped on it.
I kept proposing to generate some automatic buy/sell signals from his timing arrays, and/or reversal levels, just to "see the value of his models". Simple strategy like buying volatility (by buying both put/calls) for his panic month/week from the array, or just between a very high/low bars shown in the composite, "should" technically work over time, assuming that his model is anywhere close to accurate.
My personal attempts to trade using his model have almost always resulted in losses. I initially blamed on me not understanding his model, but over time, I realized that that is exactly Armstrong's strategy: making you NOT understanding it, so that his model is NEVER to be blamed.
Again, all of you can keep chiming in, and cheer-lead the Great Armstrong.
However, the only thing that will never lie to you is PROFIT and truth/math. The ECM date as October 4th, 2015, is simply NOT the same date as September 30th/October 1st, 2015. There are just no claims that can be made to make ECM date as "down to the day".
After 253 pages on this forum, people are still here arguing the true understanding & interpretation of his latest blog, and exactly whether slingslot has happened or not.
Socrates/Armstrong should be able to answer that question in extremely clear cut "yes or no".
Oh, by the way, Armstrong did say that we have a cycle inversion (right? or whatever that means), but again, that is just way too late for anyone to trade on it.
