1. In the history of the world you are the only person that has come up energy moving through the aether that lags. Again you can't point to one research paper, one scientist, one experiment or anything to back up what you say. So Tesla, Einstein and Hawking all missed this phenomenon but you Earik Beann nailed it (not to mention every astrologer that ever lived), really?
You are comparing physicists to traders. If we are talking about physics, then no, those guys have me beat, and I'm not going to challenge them on that front. However, if we're talking about markets, then things are a little different. Besides, regarding lag, I'm not the only one that has noticed this effect in relation to markets. George Bayer wrote about it decades ago as well. We're talking about the affect of the planetary system on markets and mass psychology, and how would anyone have noticed it unless they spent a lot of time studying markets?
Given the phenomena I've seen, I ended up coming up with a theory about why it happens how it does. I don't know how else to try and explain it otherwise....
2. You can't use your account as the ONLY real world example because we both know people who can make money with a random entry and a good stop loss. It doesn't prove that this energy exists.
Um... Why not? How else am I supposed to prove it? It's a theory about markets, after all.
There are many, many, traders who get all worked up over the fact that astrology is in the software at all, and I've been asked more than once if there's a "sanitized" version of W59 that doesn't have all the crazy stuff in it. My response is usually to point people towards NinjaTrader, or something more mainstream. My job isn't to convince skeptics, but to find the stuff and share it as applicable. Some of these tools just don't resonate well with certain belief systems. In your case, it's the Etheric part that goes against your understanding of physics. In other cases, it's astrology in general, and in other cases, it's trendlines. People will believe what they want to believe, and reject what they want to reject, oftentimes based on nothing more than skepticism and superstition. Rather than argue that the lag can't possibly exist, you'd be better off studying the data and (assuming you agree there's an edge), coming up with some sort of better explanation for why that happens than the one I've proposed. That way we all move forward. But just saying it's incorrect and can't be true without actually going through it puts you in the same boat as those traders that say astrology can't possibly forecast markets, based on nothing more than the fact that doing so challenges their world view.
3. I noticed you didn't debunk Dr. Al's theory of energy fields as the cause of market moves. Why? The guy has two PhDs and research to back up his theories.
I'll end with this and let it go. Incredible claims require incredible proof. If you had to go to court against Dr. Al to prove your right and he is wrong; do you think you would win?
Why would I want to debunk Al? I'm not saying that his stuff doesn't work, or that regular astro doesn't work. I'm just saying that there's an effect that
ALSO works, which I've explained with the Ether theory.
Nothing against PhDs, but if I had to go to court to prove a theory about markets, I'd simply use market data to prove it, rather than PhDs in unrelated fields. If 10 out of 10 dental hygienists agreed that planets couldn't possibly have an effect on markets, would that shake your belief in astro-finance? Probably not. Al has done a huge amount of work on markets, which I respect (and I'm also personal friends with the guy), but he'll be the first to tell you that he hasn't solved them. No one has, we're all just trying to figure it out using different theories and approaches.
I didn't mean to pick a fight with you near Xmas. Happy Holidays my good man!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not a fight, and I'm not taking it personally. Honestly, I actually expected you to chime in once I saw the initial question, and would have been surprised had you stayed silent.
Happy Holidays to you too!!
Regards,
Earik
