Here is some humor. A guy posts a backtest. It shows 400,000 in losses for a mere 24,000 trades. I post a print for 146 minutes of trading and it made 43,500, Divide 43,500 into -400,000. 10 trades....lol... Have you ever heard the words "statistically insignificant" applied to a...

Use Neoxx's family of curves for about six levels of trading for a 10 day period. It's a semilog graph by necessity. Getting to 40 contracts is one of the points it makes. You make the point that the blotter was stale. It is stale; it was half way through 2008 whose annual chart I posted...

A lot of change is ocurring in the world and people do move on for one reason or another. Boot camp was to be a focussed intense "all in' effort for a short period. How it works is well understood by those who will be running it. Below I made some comments that are bounded by the...

LOL This was a nice thread. Thank you

It is a fun experience building the "men" that guard the caches in the northern territories. Trekking the tundra is difficult and its good to not make too many mistakes. See the attached as a wrap on bootcamp and a wrap for me in ET.

On the other hand if two died he would still have one.

You should check out the sweeps chart and also check out "sufficiency' as applied in information theory on the non probabilistic fork. Two more major clues for you to begin to consider. We are dicussing making money here. It is a very pragmatic orientation. It is always important to observe...

consider filling in your logs a few rows ahead of the market. Before you do that, reason through the logic basis for the certainty with which you fill in what you do. You have a non-stationary window where several things are going on. On the left side, as time passes some bars get dropped...

Looks like you are turning this into a phishing contest correlated with "why I failed" confessional. I posted earlier on how our filters work. The brief trading histories of these "B" people point out the what, how and why of several of them. As you read through this thread pay particular...

I inserted some text that contains what you thought for a moment were non-exisiting posts. What is the point in commenting on me in the negative ways you do? Every day in many places there are these people posting comments like you make. If you take the time for a moment, perhaps you...

For trading equities, you will find that doing 100 cycles a year is well supported by this chart and rules. It is necessary to use high beta stocks to optimize making money. Elswhere you can google or do searches on how manage increasing holding by an order of magnitude or two orders of...

At some point most people recognize that PA can be classed into two portions on a certainty basis. Then in the non trending class there are two unique subsets of 13 elements, total, that make up the subsets in a first order closer refinement of the non trending subsets. i have covered and...

The three principles of the algorithm The principles form the bridge in the trust partnership of the trader and the market. If you have any questions about the principles or their interrelationships, ask here. MADA came about as a routine that enables taking the market's offer by using...

Trader Performance Capability If anyone has any questions on the various skill levels of the applications of the algorithm, post here. Use the previously posted performance levels as a reference. In this thread the OP suggested that the Advanced Expert level of SCT was scalping. Of...

Market Capacity If anyone has any questions on market capacity, post them here. Use a family of performance curves in your question's illustration. My preference is the ES's family of curves normalized in terms of ATS and as a Gaussain distribution that may or may not emphasize any...

Once a potential trader decides to trust the market (this is not an intellecutal decision), then he can begin the path of differentiating his mind. All displays show the market's offer. Using the best possible feed and conversion software is encumbant on the trader. This responsibility is...

The reason some of the threads in ET are kept free of the commentary this thread was intended to address is the simple matter of how the focus of the thread can be overpowered by the efforts fo those who are no longer capable of learning or conducting rational conversations as a consequence of...

By 20 to 30 years into trading I had learned to "read" other traders. I was able to examine the two elements of the trading relationship separately and in combination. I also got to be in many of the right places at the right time. As usual I was incontact with the top of the line...

I chose, at first, to accept what the market spoke, said and told. My mind was unformed at the time. It was uninformed as well. In 1957, information was not easily available. The market's offer was not easily available as a matter of the supply of information. Papers informed and so did...
