Damn guys
Do we have people back to supporting butch jones lol

i think it is more about not disparaging players from his classes

Standard deviation of individual trade results (expressed as multiples of R) divided by system expectancy. Developed by Van Tharp. Higher is better. Greater than 2 is decent, greater than 3 on really good, greater than 4 is grail. It is a similar concept to Sharpe.

Newbs curve fit systems and then get wiped. Real traders know their edge, expectancy, and SQN and can be consistently profitable.

Trading isn't gambling, but neither is it investing.

I find trading is similar to poker in the old adage, "poker is 100% luck through 1 hand, poker is 100% skill through a lifetime". Variance ruins and rewards all.

Children, stahp. We know that a lot of Butch's classes transferred or didn't pan out to expectations, but some did well and we'll miss them. Don't generalize all of them and we'll all get along better... maybe.

Simple maxim - support the damn players and their orange britches.

Not supporting him, but he got some good players. They just needed development.

14 and 15 were great. 16 was pretty good. 17 was bad. Yeah there were a couple good players but a lot of those guys had no business signing with us

It’s all the above. He got some good players, he didn’t develop players worth a crap, and he also took some 4 stars nobody else wanted and they ended up not being any good

That 17 class... Yikes. Trey Smith, Josh Palmer, and Cimaglia are all very solid though

 

[Catbone]

I remember livestreaming Ty Chandler absolutely destroy guys in highschool . Hope the light comes on for him

 

[Devo182]

I do have a mentor. He’s been amazing. I’m a price action/fundamentals trader while keeping the news in front of men I don’t get into technical analysis except to confirm what I see. I have very tight stop losses with a focus on pip growth more than just a % of growth.

Sorry, but wouldn't price action be TA? Not fundamentals?

Or do you mean you have analyzed the fundamentals down to a specific buy/sell point? I've analyzed that before, but grooming over pages and pages of footnotes in the 10-Ks (where the real added-value info lies) was exhausting. Not for me! Great for a 60-hr week job as an equity analyst. I can see why many traders shy away from FA-heavy stuff.

Trey is arguably the best OLmen we’ve had here. Use a better word than solid.

Catbone and Hank disagreeing on something . What a time to be alive. Im here for it

You can thank bob Welton for that 2017 class. Trey was coming regardless. Dude told joejuan Williams he was too tall to play DB in the SEC when he was begging to commit here.

 

[Dooby15]

Which part is the easiest?

Warrior IMO. Him being in position to make plays was night and day different than previous years. Also Bituli in coverage was not great this year but not a liability like last year.

Of course Trey is a monster! But that one player doesn't make missing on 80% of the class any better...

Look at

Ignont, Reid, Murphy, Gray, Crosby, Labruzza, Thaxton, Page I could go on and on

That was our "solid depth" class Typically a sign the end is nigh, unless you have great developers, which his regime did not.

17 had paper stars out the wazoo. Even VQ said as much a few months back about T. Bailey, when they were the only ones had him as a 4*

Some of those guys were talented just didn’t fit what we were trying to do. Some of them tho were ass.

We were 95th total D in 2016 with that team. Pruitt has this years D at 23rd. Pretty significant

damn, that was horrible. I thought Bob Welton was good.

Since runner-up PotY Bass got the DW thread locked:
