    The 10,000 hour rule.

    I attached my chart. I saw the bar 1, etc as finishing yester day's B2B 2R 2B. Then I did the short over to the ftt (which be came my pt 3 on the fanning after bar 23 killed the short R2R 2B 2R). After that the anticipation of FOMC was killing volume. Your long on volume was cooland the...

    ... like a Hershey for Dummies? Yes - but not quite

    As I recover from the surgury and lenses being replaced; I have found getting my brain eye function to its new state (by the end of January, possibly) takes patience; two neat things are happening: geometry is working on charts and here, I can read fairly easily what I know I typed. Straight...

    Since this is chit chat and the place where the trival is addressed, I'll go along with your curiousity. My first instance was on a snowy night in February. We were to host an annual Valentine's party. My wife was Julian Jaynes protege at Princeton. His specialty was the bicameral mind (see...

    The 10,000 hour rule.

    I was suggesting that if anyone sat down and jotted out a series of forks in the road a learning trader had to decide to take, serially (one after another) there is NO way he could spend 10,000 hours to become a trader who would be wealthy. It is not a good idea for most people to try to...

    I have had connections to psychiatry since 1966. I lived in Switzerland and while there I associated with the Jung Institute. I was given a chance to study and then join the faculty. Later I needed psychiatric help in the late 80's. I had this in NJ, PA and later in AZ. I had to deal...

    ... like a Hershey for Dummies? Yes - but not quite

    Generally, I go to where the person is and bring him in a direction that improves his knowledge and skills. So I envision people of all kinds who are assessing what they see. Their views of what they see allow the person mentoring them to pick up on the next steps. In the front ends of...

    Choppy versus Trending

    No I do not use volume profile. When I began to plot charts in 1957, I got used to plotting P and V. I got sloppy, sort of, and started entering volume as numbers arranged by orders of magnitude. Suddenly, the crudeness jumped out at me in an informative manner. It is fun to get the drill...

    The details of my answer the the original question were in the blah, blah, blah part. Specifically, he is fucked if he tries to enter or exit with a block order. Since he is not going to fuck himself and he has to get subscriptions, he is going to present and trade in a very very mature...

    When is a support or resistance broken

    No Nodoji isn't. As it happens he just very accurately how the market moves forward. In general, it is fairly logical that all methods as they become iteratively refined, tend to exhibit some convergence. Look at the your spectrum of successful methods (or look it up). there is an...

    1000 shares per trade, $7,000 week profit

    Please consider adding some profits to your capital base and then running parallel streams of capital. Shifting up to block size and then doing partial fills at block size is a common and simple way to advance capital. Running up to 12 streams is very manageable. We pull a new Universe...

The prices of 3 Beta stocks is usually in the 20's. Assuming you have an all in approach (based...

    Serious question about automated quant trading for the person of average intelligence

    Consider bypassing the parts that are inductively based. If you find anything based on science (deductive processes), then drill down a little bit.
