    Mind Control 101 – Trading cults in ET

    No, not at all. I had a series of tasks to do and, temporarily, I am ahead of where I need to be for a few days. I also had eye surgury and my vision is coming back a little. I also had to go through two regimes of antibiotics which took a toll on me. With reference to my last post...

    Mind Control 101 – Trading cults in ET

    I had the rare pleasure of working with bucky for the last three years of his life. (At the University City Science Center (UCSC) a consortium of 29 colleges and universities.) Many people, to this day send me copies of his writings of media stories since they know our past relationship. His...

    How long before you were fully automated?

    Being harsh isn't constructive. I think you have done a great job explaining your career and intellectual development. It is not easy for a person to provide a commentary about the effort required such as becoming a successful trader. There is a lot of humor in how things were in the past...

    How long before you were fully automated?

    I did not vote since I did not fit into the narrow age group represented here. About three systems are required; primarily. they relate to the capital limitations of trading markets. Trading can become related to taking the market's offer. Capital is shifted from one system to another and...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I don't think anyone cares what I have done. The chart is just a way to make money position trading in stocks. A lot of poeple use it and use it successfully. A typical trade lasts 4 to 6 days or so when a high beta universe is used. given stocks can be traded several times a year...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Since you haven't been around take a look at this. It works best when the upper share limit is 100,000 shares or less. At 100,000 shares it takes 20 partials to enter and about 30 to exit. my posted best was 17 points on 100,000 shares where a share was at about 28 plus bucks. Some people...

    Mind Control 101 – Trading cults in ET

    The rough trader thread looks kinda nice too. Go to page 158708 to start getting a beginner education. Just about anyone can see how he went from 1 contract to 3 contracts. Trading 40 contracts could have been done fairly soon in that thread. This thread is really getting kind of funny...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Indeed the power laws prevail and since induction is not a necessity and deduction from the language of markets is always available, it is best to look at the the leading indicator of price for guidance. I particularly like the expert level of trading using hold/reversal strategies. Taking...

    Mind Control 101 – Trading cults in ET

    Over time, the financial industry has gone through several stages of progress. Throughout the last 50 years in my personal experience it has grown. The simple consequence is that the replacement value of basic needs of people has progressively increased in price. Therefore, being wealthy...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Ahh, the open mind strikes again. Occasionally, I find a post worth commenting on. MC 87 is at a small liberal arts school and doing a paper on a business plan and trading plan. I got the idea that he could believe some of the stuff here. I do have an outstanding trading challenge. What...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    For your paper you need to focus on avoiding induction. NYSE guy is using induction so he is going to come up against a bad result in time. See his John Boyd based inductive feedback loop comment. This also includes his making using a non null hypothesis error. He mentions ACTION as...

    Iterative Refinement

    A very thoughtful comment. What makes all this so appealing is that that practicing money making in trading is such a rich resource for problem solving anywhere in the world. A lot of people recognize this and are able to use such money as a resource in their diverse choices as where to do...

    Iterative Refinement

    I had the same experience you are having now. Science is the only rational approach. I see "tells" as acceptable working data. Science has to be used correctly and it can be done in any way available to a person. The end result for anyone can be a fully articulated system. I found...

    Iterative Refinement

    I haven't looked at ET for many days and I just did a search on "hershey", the word to look for red folders. Nothing is going on these days. By happenstance I saw a thank you from some person to another with regard to a significant readable. I also recognized the chart from memory and it is...

    Feeling the market - important or not ?

    I feel sorry for you. The markets I trade are certain. When younger, I loved to fly gliders and acrobatics had a special appeal. It was certain for be then too. Trading is like meditation for me. The extreme in coherence. Do as you wish, but you may wish to consider working your way...

    Has anyone lost their edge/system b/c too many people knew?

    continued reply.... To continue the science theme relative to commodities, a simple PA formation will suffice. The approach is on the illustration lower right. Step five shows the reversal which could be used on a scalping level 40 to 60 times a day; on a traverse level 15 times a day; or...
