Sorry, LJY, I didn't catch the one trade per day bit, I read threads backward like a magazine and never made it to the beginning it was so interesting. But ebenso I offer that relaxation through knowledge of continuously evolving edges (sounds perilously close to SCT) keeps you confident that...

I find myself terminally bored when I am not raging against SCT. I had thought to abandon this thread, but, what can I do? I am as obsessed with demolishing Jack's reputation as he is with aggrandizing it. So. I declare victory on the issue of unlimited "pool extraction", no one having even...

A trader has no need of relaxation aids if he has a system or systems which work reliably and whose entries and exit decisions do not cause him anxiety. Then the opposite may be a problem: you may need something to relieve the boredom (this is the function of ET). In the ideal case the market...

OK. SCT-Lite took 16 round trips, and made 9.54 ES points, for 4.47X the daily range per contract. Let's see your blotters, A-Team. Surely you did better than my pitiful little 60 SLOC infidel code! And don't show me charts annotated with where you MIGHT have traded. My code could be linked to...

I regret that I do not have time at the moment to research you. Would you save me some trouble and post today's blotter? Or at least a chart with some originality?

Oh, I can top that for simplicity! In a pinch I could trade this.

If you don't know why we DO have EOD rallies, you don't know why we DON'T.

Here's mine. Sorry, had to blur it to obscure the content. But you get a sense of the complexity.

Nice clean chart, Ehorn. Thanks for sharing.

I hope Neoxx is following this, because I am pretty sure that with some effort I could code this pissant little chart up to run on a smartphone. Simplicity in all things: the least complex trading computer you can get by with the least complicated charting that does the job the most...

At EOD I am going to expect SCT traders to post blotters showing they did at least as well as SCT-Lite, currently at over $450 per contract. If not, I will cheerfully sell them the system.

That makes me wonder if Andrew "Dice" Clay would make a good trader?

In praise of the B-Team, the attached shows that Joe Doaks' Ternary Decision Theory (bottom study) is ace-ing out SCT-Lite by holding through the midday retrace.

Since I color unchanged bars blue, I had to invent four new volume change categories: R2B, B2R, G2B and B2G. SCT traders may beel free to use these with my blessing.

Here is what my SCT-lite code did this AM: 2 trades (initial short, then reversal long, always in!) 0.96 times the daily range 10.63 ES points after commission and average slippage. Gotta love this SCT, hahahaha! BTW, the volume study is there just to give you something to keep...

Good story, Jeff. The system I trade most is in your face on every time frame from tick to year. And MBS, congrats on the first SCT poem, haha! Tempting, about once a year we are regaled by Dr. Pangloss educating yet another Candide. It always ends the same way. Calls for that cup of hemlock.

666, I intend to sneak up on Jack one of these days. I'll let you know how it went.

Jeff, I have a half-dozen indicators that are nowhere to be found in the literature, so I totally understand. They are so precious to me that only my wife and my mistress will inherit them. But at least tell me, is your stuff trivially simple? Mine is.

OK, my dear friend in Vancouver. Get out of that cozy cafe and flame this thread into cinders! Once again have I failed! Oh, yes, and you, you unrepentant Aussie, do your worst! I have to get ready to trade tomorrow.

Oh, that is heavy, 666! Inferiority transformed into superiority, haha! I doubt that Adler's approach would work with Jack, because he is too rigid a type, the Dominant I would guess, and has no sense of humor to exploit. Also he is too old to change. He and I are very much alike, which...
