Question...if the Muddy system was so great, where are all of the Mudders today? I was around when Muddy was the cat's ass here and there was a strong Muddy group on Yahoo. I totally believed in the guy and the system and it was the first system I made a total commitment to. There was even one active Mudder who created a "no brainer" software offering that would do all of the work for you.
I mean no disrespect, but I lost money over a couple of years the Muddy way and I honestly believe I worked at it hard. Go figure, maybe it was me, but, will all of the Mudders left please raise their hand. Hope I'm not sounding bitter...it was a learning experience.
So here I am today having made very modest contributions to the SF board over a long period of time.That being said:
1. Annoying, arrogant and rude blowhards have been around this board forever. Most don't seem to last that long and the ignore feature is a wonderful tool.
2. IMO there are a lot of posters who ask for filters without giving any effort first to trying to work it out for themselves. That's a turn off as far as I'm concerned...more than a few of us have put countless hours into first learning the syntax and then applying it.
3.There is a vast amount of back history here, but it seems that there are more than a few who don't seem to know how to search.
4. How many times can you beat a dead horse searching for the Holy Grail?
5. After much effort (different screens (hundreds?), stupidity, bad trade management, lost money) I have a system that I'm happy with and it makes me very decent money. SF is an integral part of it, but trade management is just as important.
6. I've tweaked and back tested the damn thing ten ways to Sunday (okay, for a long time it was something I actually had fun doing) and I haven't been able to come up with anything better. I really don't have much interest anymore in the filters...my focus is on perfecting trade management, maximizing my return or minimizing my loss.
7. I'm not sure that there has been a shift to trade picks over filters or systems as much as a decline in the latter. Perhaps it's a function of #4.
Sorry for the rambling, but that's my perspective.

I didn't read everything above, but yes they do exist.
Although I believe that there are much more legitimate authors on this forum, so why even bother discussing those guys lol.

Don't you know. The whole market is just one big scam. Didn't you get the memo on that.
