    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Excuse the kibitzing, but now you are on my epistemological turf. I hold that all possible trading knowledge is already in our minds, but not fully comprehended. In short, as Dr. Deco once so sagely wrote paraphrasing Jung, "All trading is psychology." And we all have a nice psych model in our...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    May we not then simplify, citizens, and say that, simply put, to the simple, trading is simple, and that one need simply ask ET for a simple system?

    World Markets

    Boy, as we say here in the South (of Greece), I hoped the greater lights here on ET such as Steve46 would answer your question, but they have not deigned to do so. Perhaps it because, paradoxically, it is harder to answer a stupid question than to ask one. Therefore let use use my famous method...

    Jack Hershey's Drill number 1

    You read me, and I read you. And in my experience that is correct. Now for something subtle: does Jack (or you) say anything about how to trade an iceberg when price breaks out of the channel in the direction of the trend? (I promised you disingenuous questions.)

    Jack Hershey's Drill number 1

    Thank you, Citizen Oddiduro! Continuing to play straight man (easy for us priapic Greeks), permit me ask the next level of channel question. In identifying and deciding to reverse at an FTT, do you consider only price in relation to the channel, or are there other factors? (Thank you for your...

    Jack Hershey's Drill number 1

    Citizen Oddiduro, thanks. Do I understand your post to mean that in the application of channels to entries and exits, all that counts is the proximity of price to the channel extremes and "good" volume behavior? (Ignoring for the moment FTTs.) Sockie.

    Jack Hershey's Drill number 1

    Citizen Oddiduro, I too am fond of the Socratic (note the capitalization) method. I have a few simple questions about the Hershey SCT method, which is anything but Socratic. First off, I draw channels continuously, and using my own methods, often trade them, especially FTTs, which I find to be...

    NQ Home

    Mr. "In Line", being a literary type yourself, I am sure you recall that in a former life I was condemned to death by the Athenian state for allegedly "corrupting the morals of the youth" (a complete fabrication, I assure you). It occurs to me that the thread may be too busy making money...

    Anti-Jack Trading

    Jack exhibits his deep knowledge of advanced neuroscience: "As a person grows, his mind located in the physical brain and other remote locations, also "grows". The brain is basically a huge compartmentalized storage site and it is complimented {sic} by a bio chemical manufacturing factory...

    The Psychopathology of Everyday Trading

    Well of course we forget who we are when we come to trading. In many cases that's WHY we come to trading. Because so many of us are nobodies, failures, misfits, neurotics, borderline psychotics. Look at the handles. At the puerile posting. At the losers' longing to follow leaders. Trading...

    my current setup

    If you will forgive a socratic question, I should like to know if the sma is calculated on the close, the high, the midpoint, or some other combination of bar parameters. If you think about it, you might be led to conclude that the choice is critically important in such a short sma. It could be...

    tampa's Revenge

    Ah, Tampa, your insults are not nearly as original as your humor. I parsed Jack into individual systems and tested the ones whose rules were clear and codeable. Not a one tested with positive expectancy. But please do go down that path. The results would provide much unintentional humor to...

    tampa's Revenge

    Oh, yeah, the boys in the Hershey Trading thread in Strategy Trading really cleaned up on their simulated trades. That's why Jack faded away. From mortification.
