Jimmy Jones replied Jun 22, 2009As embarrassing as it is to admit it, this EA has been outperforming me on the 1m chart the last few trading days. Good work so far, keep it up. When a live version comes around I'm going to open up a "screw you" account and let it do it's thing...

Jimmy Jones replied May 26, 2009Hey aediaz1, how do you determine when to close your positions? A serious question, as I am beginning to see a lot more profitability if one can hold on to (and add to) winners, as opposed to setting targets and scaling out of a position...

Jimmy Jones replied Mar 6, 2009No doubt, I have been trading it this week with great results. However, there are times when VSA has given several reversal signals in a row and price did not reverse, at least in my experience so far. Of course I may be doing it all wrong too ...

Jimmy Jones replied Mar 6, 2009Well, I would say first off, nothing works 100% of the time. Second, I would think it not wise to throw out technical analysis in terms of support / resistance, trend lines, and physc levels and just follow the VSA blindly. From a quick glance, ...

Jimmy Jones replied Mar 1, 2009I'm not sure that's something that can be considered an asset or something to brag about, hanging around on a public forum for a long time arguing with people. I'd be more inclined to look at the content of those who have come and finally left than ...
