OK. OK. It's a fetish. Like golden showers. Or pink latex. Or compulsive anagrammatism. I cannot abide bad orthography. But four of the posters on your list are not me. You have managed to offend all of us.

I am humbled. Or humbugged. You have taught an ineducable old man something new, you prick. Egregore. We embrace it. We are the egregore. We are egregoric. We are egregoriac. We are egrecentric. We embellish it by our actions. Egreglorious. Egreholic. Egretonic. Egregarious. Egregregious...

No offense, you seem like a right old good chap, but it is obvious that English is not your native language if you think all of those people are me. Too much deviation from the mean. Stylistically. Literarily. Grammatically. Vocabularyly. Originalityly. Crueltyly. From now on it's Mr...

When Old CootHoots speaks, out come the Old Cahoots. The assurdity of Sharpe is this. I can pile conditioned probabilities ceiling high, take the trade of a lifetime for ten seconds for $20, and have an infinite Sharpe based on one trade. The true issues in trading are large sample...

Jack, there you go hurting my old head again for heaven knows how many times in the past decade. How does your absurd Sharpe ratio handle ZERO risk trading? It ballows up. Remember your own words from so long ago: "Never a loss." I took them to heart.

When you get too old to have sex, scalping is the next best thing. And you can do it as often as you want.

Tea-Sing, I am hum(bug)led! So much recommended reading to do! And I thought I was litter-ate! Anything else modern I should read up on? I decided I knew it all about 15 years ago, so except for the latest gossip on Britney, I am clueless on contemporary psych. Why do I think you are slumming here?

Add TDT to the mix and you will get rich. But not as rich as using TDT alone.

Oh! Now all is clear! You want to trade AND get laid. Lookers in DFW do not read (don't go to B&N or Borders). They do not pump their own gas. They certainly don't go to church unless they have babies they want you to feed. Look for women in the bars here. Sundance is good. McKinney Avenue is...

Oh, Susannah! You are jiving him about the culture in Dallas. As soon as you roll over the rise going west on I-30 at Rockwall your ears pop from the cultural vacuum. You can suck all the kulcha DFW has to offer in one day in Foat Wuth and an afternoon in Big D. Even the classical music on WRR...

When William Tecumseh Sherman said "If I owned both Hell and Texas I would live in Hell and rent out Texas", he was talking about here. Over 100 every day, traffic like a demolition derby, $3.75 gas, $2.49 a pound tomatoes, and women who need it maybe once a year. The women I can take, but the...

Doggie, let an old man (I've got grandchillins older 'an you) give you some madvice: use a three tick stop. Stops are like pussy, the tighter the better. This is coming from years of experience trading NQ. If it goes south by more than 3 ticks, you are daid wrong. And do me a favor, good or bad...

Hello, Doug. The definution of RILF depends on where you are fum. Here in Far Norte Tejas, the R stands for redneck. In Japon, it means robot. But in yore neck 'o the woods it means retard. Indeed I am about to put lazy fat cats out of work by helping my new client take their business away. The...

Are you the official thread killer? As I recall, Nononsense used to do that to me all the time. He had an uncanny sense of when a thread was about to be Chit-Chatted. This one is past due. Jack tired of it, Spydie never showed up at all, and it quickly became unfunny to me. I had a dream while...

And so, since this thread is dying a natural death, no doubt much to the relief of our beloved moderation, let me elucidate Trade Principle Number Seven: Never reverse. Whatever chart time frame you trade on, a faster chart almost always reveals that the trade you're in dies before the next...
