    Socrates Examines Technical Strategy

    On a note of some general interest to all of ET, Big Cabrito, why are you posting on another forum and not on ET? I mean, you can get so much more abuse here than anywhere else. And much more bad advice. I am sure that Baron would like to know what he needs to do to lower ET's standards to get...

    Not being totally sure why this thread is suffered to continue, I return to some semi-technical content. Ehorn, I am beginnning to wonder about you. You claimed you did a simple SCT code in 40 SLOCs, but it is taking me 60. Admittedly there is a lot of room for error in this comparison. Help...

    Big little goat, 8 ticks to me is a breathtaking stop. With all due respect, if anybody else said that I would respond that you don't know exactly where your REAL entry is. But I don't trade ES, so I dunno. Thanks for your result on radome entry. I haven't done that for a long time because I...

    Posted by Jack on our sister thread: "See the attached as a wrap on bootcamp and a wrap for me in ET." Have we heard that before? He is an unrepentant multi-recidivist attention whore like me. He leaves ostentatiously. I get lonely, feel like my life is rudderless, contemplate sewercide...

    OK, Cabrito, I know you are just jiving an old man about going live next week, but I love a good gag. Plus Cou-Rouge said to let fly with the madvice. So here goes. THE assolutely most important rule in trading is to have a fixed stop loss tuned to the instrument you are trading (this very...

    Thanks, Red, I get the picture. And thanks, Big C for the endorsement, I'll go look Red up. I seriously need to learn how to trade.

    Oh, sorry, I can't comment on anything useful because I would have to give something away. This is Jack bashing, pure and simple. It's an obsessive long-running pointless game. You wanna talk serious, start another thread and I'll support you, like a jock. But FYI, talking about ANYTHING useful...

    So, to cuntinue. PREMISE: SCT is pure CW PARTIAL PROOF: Jack says that the CW (whatever that is in reality) is probabilistic. I must agree, because if SCT is the opposite of the CW, SCT is appropraiately im-probable-istic. Consider the behavior of an SCT trader as price approaches...

    Thanks, Red, no offense intended if I treated trading with too much levity for you. I trade NQ small (a half contract) around my long-range (read "until death") retirement positions. Your making a living at it puts you in a very small group on ET. My definition of making a living is never having...

    Gent(i)le readers, do you ever wonder why immoderation tolerates , nay, ENCOURAGED, the creation of this thread? To give the lonely wretched pathetic loser B-Team its own home? Nah!!!! To see if we could improve SCT through pee(r) review? Unlikely. To see if we would make utter fools of...

    Is Neoxx a trade name for an English Everclear? I believe he is a limey from his orthography. Too tight-assed to be a Canadian.

    Well, M. Cou-Rouge, you obviously missed the posting rules for acceptance into the B-Team. You owe us a brief non-proprietary description of how you trade and/or invest. We all long ago shared our methods with ET, to the utter disdain of the A-Team. We are all of us CW (and that don't stand fer...

    LOG or LINEAR - WHICH SHOULD WE USE?

    Depends on whether you trade with linear or logarithmic money. But keep an eye on inflation. You might want to consider hyperbolic.

    There is a lot to be said for going your own way. When I became semi-retire-ded and needed to perk up the returns on my savings, I started looking more carefully at daily charts for investment purposes. Since I am a firm believer in the effuckacy of estimators on all time frames, I laboriously...

    Trefoil, kindly do not encourage the WTTs (White Trash Traders) here. They set a very poor example for Neoxx. Typically they trade over a satellite link using a pirated converter box, furiously push the refresh button on a Yahoo chart, and use E-Trade, all the while feedin' the far under the...

    "Ster, you sure Neoxx is a lush? I might have to cut him some slack, then, because I used to do some of my best trading totally wasted. If he could see what the B-Team is like, and watch us trade, we might be able to sway him to the dark side, as opposed to the backside. Just imagine his...

    Nonononono 666! I refuse to PA Deco. You are on a roll with a heretofore hidden talent! You could be a 21st Century Homer composing grand epic pomes in limerick form! Do continue! But save them off line, as this thread hasn't much life left in it.

    Big C, thank you for your kind remarks. But I am merely an unfraudulent Jack Hershey. The sole difference being that my humor is intentional. If you like my humor, you should have been alive 60 years ago. I am the last of the classically-educated humorists. Re hedgers laying off risk in...
