As the thread originator you are not likely to see me complaining that Jack's post are OT. LOL. Read the lead post (again). Your other comments are some sort of turf threator something. Not sure what you are doing besides puffing up your feathers.

I believe you are confusing intuition and blind intuition. Jack mentioned hitting a baseball. A batter does a lot of training to get to the point where he can intuitively nail a ball moving at 96mph. How do you suggest he gets to that point? "explicit and continual attention" is a...

This is speculation which is no different from an unfounded personal opinion. Please comment on what was said -- not your own conspiracy theories... unless you can substantiate them.

Roanoke's arguing that various Jack Hershey strategy elements are in fact collectively an edge. Wrong thread. Moderator - feel free to delete this post.

I'd like to start off the thread with an issue that is relevant for me today: environmental issues while trading. I live in a townhouse. There is an aparment complex across the street. A resident at the aparment complex has decided to set up a wood shop on his balcony. He probably...

I am starting this thread as an adjunct to the "Jack Hershey Trading" thread in Strategy. The primary topic covered in this thread will be the role of the mind in trading from a pragmatic point of view. The impact of this thread (with the help of our resident expert Jack - aka...

Thanks again for taking the time to get this information out. For me it's a Rosetta stone of a sort... and fascinating to boot. Hopefully others will benefit equally. JT

great post nwb... I'll add my own salt and pepper on what you are saying here... I think a better way of saying "recognizing whats possible" is saying that Jack facilitates learning. He "reads" a person and then presents material that will mostly likely lead to the person making a step...

Jerome -- this is honorable, but if you read the lead post you'll see that you are OT... if your intentions are serious - start a thread called "truthful feedback about Grob109" - I'm not being snide here.

Laz - your post is definitely worthwhile. Your forgetting the backtesters :p -- and "attacking jack's posts" as an additional step for all.

D&C from integrals... (as in Riemann sums) Iterative refinement from diff-eq (as in numeric methods? e.g. Euler?) The gestalt of your matrix of probabilities stuff reminds me a lot of object oriented software design... which is really just another name for cellular automata which has...

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for taking the time to get these posts out. By observation - it seems that divide and conquer and iterative refinement are two problem solving techniques that you favor... Were these things (consciously) in your mental picture at the time you left IBM? Perhaps...

Fun thread. Thanks Blue. JT

Exactly! I've had similar sorts of revelations -- the more I understand what Jack is saying the more these things seem to be happening. It's powerful - life altering stuff. That's why I'm curious about who/what influenced Jack. Just this weekend I was thinking about his "1000 day life...

Good one! and illustrates why the puzzle is a bit lame. You have to know what factors are driving the players to reach the correct solution. So the question is: what makes players play more: near misses or recent payouts? Screw the puzzle - do both of these and get some women in thongs...

He is an excellent optimizer. This is the whole motivation behind my Q.

I think this violates the "same function" rule. OK - here's a time plot of a normal machine and the money maker: P = payout ... a dash is 30 minutes (or whatever). normal machine: ----P------PP--P-----------------P-P-----------------P----PP----P money making machine...

Totally agreed. I tried. Apparently, he doesn't do PMs. JT

Hypo - ALL of your posts are unhelpful so what's the use in starting now :D. Only a joke. I too enjoy dark humor from time to time. (but you are still the master of the Kaufman-esque twist). JT
