    Strategies for falling price action ...

    My own studies on decreasing vola on stocks showed very modest gains and little potential. Also tried pairing with decreasing volu and just the latter. I wanted good risk adjusted returns, but ended up filtering PA too much. Looks good in hindsight for a few select stocks though hard to leverage...

    Being high from drugs have absolutely nothing to do with clarity, or even training. You can't really train for this, but you can do various escapisms instead of confronting truth and reality of the situation.

    It doesn't have to be perfect, but all definitions and concepts have boundaries where they cease to provide good enough meaning or context. This applies to domain definitions, but also everyday knowledge. So at certain thresholds, yes, words and sentences may lose meaning or be untranslatable...

    Our definitions for feeling, emotion and thinking are really half-assed though, so defintions and clarity might be part of the problem. When brain works, it both works locally, and also across different areas. We can see the different parts "light up". We know we don't know for sure how it all...

    Any real decision-making is heavily dependent on emotion. You can automate decision trees, but it is not primarily how humans operate, and is not a decision, but merely a look-up. This also backed by studies on brain injuries where people unable to feel emotions are also unable to decide even...

    The difference may be learnt during a lifetime, how to channel emotions into constructive outcomes, and how to control thoughts in order to gain life mastery. Prerequisite is the maturity to be able to allow and acknowledge them in the first place.

    Best RSI parameter (or other indicator) for 5-day hold

    Calculating this yourself is the way to go if you want to analyze such strategies. Backtesting won't necessarily solve everything, but can weed out obvious loser logic and even non-obvious bugs. 10 years of data is a bit short for EOD data. The longer the better, and not too hard to get some...

    I'm curious what he does now, though there are many ways to be enterpreneurial, and dealing with people is very different from electronic trading. However, people-trading is right up in the same alley, and foreign to most (unless you are sole owner of hotel chains, malls, etc. ;), OR used car...

    Making JH' SCT and all his material alive

    I believe it was 1 bar added to the 10 price case (2 bar combinations), with IV and DV petmutations. You seem quickly excited. Maybe focus on the simple steps first, as mentioned by baro and james, and take the larger steps over longer time? It will require time and pondering to make steady...

    Making JH' SCT and all his material alive

    Can you accept, that the final AHA might be lucky, caused by sheer luck, ie. hearing the right stuff, testing the right stuff, thinking in a certain way at just the right time, and otherwise never possible to attain? It's sort of like enlightenment, not possible to attain unless you're "lucky"...

    Making JH' SCT and all his material alive

    You've got it! :);) It's not about being narcissist, and I've previously also stated one of most important trader qualities may be humbleness, or honesty was it perhaps. If honest or humble enough, they, the good qualities, converge :D Honesty should make one humble and vica versa, and then...

    Making JH' SCT and all his material alive

    Beginner and intermediate levels are mentioned and recommended, probably for a reason. Why not start there, rather than expecting to leap straight to the highest attainment level of SCT, from what: nothing? JH mentioned many approaches, not just SCT, where SCT was used to minimize risk, when...

    On 10-case geometry and beyond

    Trend types (TT) and getting (more) happy with the channelling. Plan has been to start assigning P1 for quite some time now, but other stuff keep popping up, besides alot of reading/research of JH-contents. Iterative refinement of my interpretation of the JH-methodology, though far from anything...

    Goldman Sachs launches new cryptocurrency

    This is actually a smart move, as by convention this crypto will be automatically pegged to currency, thus eliminating speculation, leaving the crypto features to focus on distributed transactional efficiencies instead. It remains to be seen how wide adoption will be, but could possibly...

    Momentum Trading Strategy

    Nice argument. However, anything can be made to work, when put together correctly. Nobody gets to say, nobody can get this to work, as you are not everyone else. It's more accurate and honest to say: I can't get this to work. Never worked for me. I don't want it to work anymore even. Or, keep...
