    Trading to Live

    The platform dilemma is something else. I guess the digital age will begin to nudge people in a good direction after a while. Reading you doing that induction was fun.... Finding out if bars get their color all by themselves or not was fun. It is very cool how learning to use a...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    Thanks for your response. Throughout my trading I have used just one approach. As new markets were invented, it was fun to apply the approach to the new market. The advent of the PC was particularly interesting. When data switched to real time, electronically, after the ticker tape...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    Your design approach and your analysis approach sound typical. Your comparisons to others and to specific periods establish the scope and bounds of what is possible for you. I would assume that when you go about interrelating with other professionals in your environment, most things and...

    Ask your friend to have a conversation with you about the context of a person coming into trading. It will eliminate the context of strengths. There are no strengths at the beginning. There is just the state the person is in and how he will make decisions to forward himself. The critical...

    Do markets change? Trend Following.

    I found that, when examined, market behavior is the same and can be used in the same way as it was used 50 years ago as the basis for critical thinking, modeling, designing, developing, and pragmatic applications. In other words, the paradigm has not changed nor has its parametric measure...

    Writing this up is fairly complete. I squashed it down to 5 multimedia segments. I found that getting 50 years input from others was the most exciting thing of all. Elsewhere there is a dialogue among users and non users and its focus may be coming around to the design and development of...

    The Perpetuated Fraud of Candle Charting

    could you delight us with InterBar Gaussian Shift next? Counting cards in Vegas is so much fun. Even more fun is listening for the cricket when they are going to change dealers on you.. Remember those days?? Did you see that thread where the guy is thinking about calling "chop" the times...

    Can I manage clients accounts as a trader?

    Just make a phone call. Your broker knows how to set up what you want. He will handle all the paper work as well. If you keep it simple, you can remain an amateur. Periodicaly your broker will send you a questionaire and you do a check off and maintain the status that is appropriate...

    To the OP: Here are a few things that may be helpful to you: 1. Those who undertake to become proficient in the paradigm, and its applications also make a commitment to pass it forward to others. This is a time consuming decision for them. For you, you would have to provide assurances to...

    In AZ, desert clams go under the name Rocky Mtn oysters. One of our nicer clubs has a red rug with white testicals interspersed. Its the Mountain Oyster Club; the annual western art sale is under way. We pack here with llamas; camels are passe once they are tapped for their oysters. I...

    In that place you mention, there is a reference and in it a comment: "Spydertrader. My experience attempting to trade NQ with channels is that when it works it works spectacularly well. But also that it didn't work that well often enough to make money consistently. The difficulties I found...

    Your first step in the process is to deal with the difference between "transfering" and "translating". So you have a dilemma. The people who have done the work of transference did not go through a "translating" process. Most who look at the paradigm reject it. Trader zones is an example...

    Automated Volume Gaussian Code

    Everyone starts somewhere. I'm in school and on vacations I'm reading the monographs by the guys at BTL who are inventing the transistor. EE classes are colored by having a MTS status at BTL before I get out of grad school. At BTL I'm using quadratics to solve their intersection (linear...

    Automated Volume Gaussian Code

    Here is an uncontaminated chart. I "read" it just as if all the annotations were there. Putting all the annotations there for each bar is what I do ordinarily. I do it because I feel the need to partner with the market and to get the "tells" from the market. I called ahead to not have any...

    Automated Volume Gaussian Code

    At 7:37 the S/S is reading -137 and volume on bar 2 is greater than bar 1.(no OB on bar 1). Think about why I put increasing, decreasing, accelerating, decelerating, peak (ing) and trough (ing) in my summary. The math of markets is dictated by the market. This dictated event takes place...

    Here is an example of last week's batter 1 on stream A: GWR. The buy was Monday open the hold was until wdenesday AM. Look at bar 2 (30 min) on Wednesday am. This is a 10% type trade. As you saw on the left side of the sheet, the rate of cycles is noted for each stream. 100, 70, 60 and...
