Tom, You know.....I am following the Yen with my system. I would have been long into the tanking it took the other day! OUCH! -Scott

A big boo-hoo to whoever is whining at you, Tom. People like that are too lazy to do the work for themselves. I would never trade based solely on someone else's signals. I use the work of others here to confirm my own signals. I commend you for your recent honesty. Regards, Doug

Tom, I wanted to thank you for posting your signals. They are invaluable to help me calibrate and cross-check my various trend following and trend change indicators. I would hazard a guess that very few (other than the MMs) have made money over the past 4 weeks. If one has broken even, I think one has done well. Dave

Morning Tom... Hell i've been trading your signals for over year now...<g>.. win some lose some...now i use my P&F indicators exclusively along with everyone's "CONSENSUS", for my position trades in the OEX... IMO, if someone is beefing about losing money, tough shit!!! let them go somewhere else...each of us has to do our own DD..period.. i love this thread...terrific traders, and super good technicians.. FWIW TT and ALL who live and play here...we ALL have no compunction to give our advice and let the chips fall where they may... no one's twisting anyone arm to buy/sell anything... NOW TT, i did not follow your buy signal...because MY indicators are short......:>}

As a matter of fact, I sold some small contracts on Globex @ 1233.25 because of your read. It's good to know I jumped in and piggy-backed at the wrong time. <unlike some who post on SI, who never seem to lose money trading and never have a losing trade.> Funny; this Globex trade may very well be my first losing trade ... ever. At least I can shift the responsibility to your hands. My new motto; "The only mistake that I ever made was to listen to Tom Trader. May God have Mercy on my soul."

Hi Tom. It's too bad that someone has complained about you posting your signals, which has been a great service to all of us. You have been very fair all along in saying they only work half the time. From the posts I've seen today, I think you know how the rest of us feel. Inger is still short and bearish seeing support at 1210-17, which is his first downside target. Sees resistance at 1234-38, 1240 at the outside. Thinks rallies will fail, and a chance of a significant decline today or tomorrow. I'm looking for a point to short. Clay.

Tom, In the last few months that I've followed your trading positions.... You have repeatedly made it clear that your system losses money on numerous occassions and has its faults. I have never believed you faded your signals....to benifit your Internet Image....a hollow Goal. Sharing signals is a method of gauging your talents and parring your success and failure against others who are better. It encourages a trader to improve their own abilities and signals them when they are off the mark. It is an extremely valuable element of this Forum. This person is WRONG. Your posting of losses and winnings are the BASIS for the ethical standards of this thread. As OJ would say Ignore the Noise. Chip
