    Socrates Examines Technical Strategy

    Ah, yes, that was the time when, as Stalin said: "Quantity has a quality all its own." I am so ashamed of my broken-down old self. But, hey, my merry band of aging corsairs perform a public service. Somebody has to poke stuffed shirts with a stick to see if there is anything inside. But I fear...

    From you know where: "I add the gaussian annotations after RTH to preserve the clarity of the record." No doubt the Nobel committee will want to see the documentary evidence. More likely a change in alias will result.

    Solving the problem

    Bob Dole's law firm has made a killing doing just that. But the price was only $100K.

    I have no idea why I wasted my time posting on the other thread. But I was trying to get across one of my objections to SCT. That it is so sterile and analytical that it does not use plain language to describe the trajectory of the day: "Whoa! Momo breakout of the AM range!" "Unhunh...

    FAITES ATTENTION! To get back off track, I remind the A-Team that there is a challenge on the table to support Jack's off-hand (or off-ass) contention that one person could trade SCT with 100,00 contracts. As a reminder, I say that under present conditions you would be the entire market if you...

    You have time on your hands. Do a search, haha. Or just ask him if you're not on ignore. Assure him "We're here to help." Or ask Tums, he's a nice guy, despite what my bud in B.C. thinks of him.

    Analysts are deeply uncertain. That's why they analyze. They need a daddy who exhibits total certainty to tell them what to do. When I graduated from analyst I became analysts' daddy. My guess is that Jack misses that role in retirement.

    Who could make that up? I have the utmost sympathy for him. I was like that when I was a punk. Perfectionist. Thinking that ever more complex analysis makes for better trading. That you need a shit-hot computer to be a shit-hot trader. That trading is mind over market. Oh fuck! Maybe he's one of...

    Madoff’s Latest Victims: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

    A lot of not-so-fat cats like me have a continuous buying program. Not much every year, but if it ever went to $10,000 you'd be glad you did. Most of what I have I bought at $280-320. Waiting for it to go down to around $700 to buy again.

    Right now I suspect Neoxx is at: Price is falling, but we are in VDU, and we have an FTT on this fractal, but an FBO on that fractal, and we're nowhere close to point 3 on 'tother fractal, and YM went down when it should have gone up, and the DOM is flashing so fast I can't tell shit from it...

    Actually, Mandie, I AM trying to make it work. Then it will go away, and where will they be then? That's why I keep posting fabulous sim results with it.

    Thanks, 'Ster. In general I agree. But there are also folks like Spydie and Tinhorn and others who kept the baby and threw out the bathwater and seem to be doing well with it. For example, my homegrown version of it is up over $350 on ES. See next post.

    Neoxx opines: "The over-riding VDU seems to be disrupting the dynamic between the YM and ES." He should be on CNBC: "The Dow is down on fears goat prices will plummet in the Andes due to the increasing longevity of women there." A fertile imagination is no substitute for a REAL system.

    Madoff’s Latest Victims: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick

    With a list a mile long with people who don't want to be known, gotta be a least some mobsters and drug cartel on it. Wanna bet on what kind of "accident" or "medical condition" poor elderly Bernie croaks from?

    I was going to say "Ain't true, they ain't Jewish." But Sedgewick is half. Sometimes it pays to be Appalachian white trash with no big city conneckshuns.

    Oh, my! Neoxx can't see me because he has me on ignore! That is so much more fun! "I see you, but you can't see me!" He hasn't caught on that that makes him an ignore-amus. One day he will be sorry. When I go to rescue him after his failure at SCT, he will have to pay with many mea culpas...

    Pity poor Neoxx. I keep trying to give him good advice, but he just won't listen. Maybe because he can't see my posts? Earlier today he complained that ES was in VDU (don't ask if you don't already know) and wasn't worth the effort to chart. I advised him that voodoo (my term for it) may be a...

    The Disciplined Trader vs Trading in the Zone

    Read both. In publication order. You won't regret it. I only have 15 trading books on my shelf. Those two earned pride of place.
