    OMG! "One million in a hundred days!" Now I have to change my Depends! Thank you thank you thank you, 666, for archiving doze files! Who knew Elite was pronounced E-Light? Baron, did you? "OK?", "OK?", "OK", "You know", "Whatever". God, and I thought I was dumb! He is a BRICK! But a...

    That is priceless, three 6's! I'll look at the others, thanks.

    One thing most of them have in common is NSOHW (no sense of humor whatsoever). Well, the day's results are in. I decided to treat volume in SCT like I do salt in soup. The attachment shows three candidate versions of SCWOT (SCt WithOut Tears, pronounced "squat", as in "you don't know...")...

    Oh, it's worse than that. Although the whole code takes about 60 SLOCs, the reversal decision itself takes only one line, so I could write the tests on a postage stamp. But I forgot that to overoptimize it I had to go to four tests. Untestable without a Cray.

    I suspect that many of readers think that I am not serious about unambuggerously coding SCT. Let me assure you that I am having a ball with it. I long ago gave up and started charting on 5 minutes, but I didn't enjoy it because I felt obliged to crayola. Now that I don't have to do that thanks...

    Thanks, 666. Re SCT for the B-Team, it wouldn't be much of a book. I had to use three rules to make it as bad as it is. That means it is utterly untestable. But you already knew that, didn't you, hahahaha!

    Thanks for posting, 'Surfer! What would we do without you? I assume you are a relatively poor goy and therefore weren't "privileged"?

    Here is the update on SCT for Lowlifes. I am embarrassed to post it. Best I'll say for it is that it preserved the AM gains.

    Sorry, 666, he doesn't like me. Can't understand why. Why don't YOU ask him to look at Emil Kraepelin's balanced interviews and consider it.

    An interesting analysis, Dack. The only time I draw channels is during the midday retrace when a bear or bull flag forms. IMO that is the only time they are reliable, both for the keeping and the breaking. Also the only time I use Elliot wave.

    Tara, if you are going to run with the mad dogs, you have to tell us a bit about yourself and how you trade. TMI not necessary. Thanks.

    To keep the technicul content flowing, I was surprised that SCT for Reprobates tripped short as late as it did just now. I may have to tweak it. If only I could remember what rule I invoked to overoptimize it yesterday... P.S.: times are Pacific because I like to trade in the morning to keep...

    An interesting peculation, TeTa. But I came to suspect in recent days that Neoxx was a put-on. If so, he will reveal himself by blossoming into a great trader in Jack's absence. BTW, I was disappointed in the few expressions of regret at Jack's fifth retirement from ET.

    Thank you for posting, Daniel, and you are doing well in English. Do you have a particular trading time frame in mind, like intra-day or daily or swing trading?

    OK, I'm going to take one more sally at this and then quit, so pay attention. Time in intraday charting is a bogus variable. Conventional one minute or five minute or whatever minute charting causes you to lose perspective. To get lost in minutia. To countertrend trade. Complex charting is...

    It's a simple rule, Dack. It's OK to trade if you drink, but not to post.

    Dackster, we were getting on so well until you spelt "offense" as "offence". Say it ain't so!
