The United States is not a totalitarian government, nor was it ever intended to be, and although we seem to be moving towards socialism at a rather alarming rate - the United States still stands for freedom and liberty for each and every individual, and citizen. It has been said that for a...

From the fly on the Wall...MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers were Parlux Fragrances (PARL), after agreeing to acquired by Perfumania (PERF),

I think you doing great on the first half of your Relational database. However, you have not addressed the other half of the database issues if you are really going to try to use this animal. These issues are much harder to handle. For example how are you going to DELETE Rows when you table...

I was Manager of Database Administration at a large bank in the late 1990’s. My group happened to be a part of modifying the payroll transaction system of which many school districts used our payroll because we managed the unions accounts. While discussing DB2 changes with a DBA working for...

I went back and checked my library. I do not seem to have a copy of "Definitive Guide to Position Sizing". I thought I did. I have Tharps “Secret Report on Money Management” and “Trade you way to Financial Freedom”. You asked for the general gist of my discretionary swing trading. It...

N54, You are doing an excellent job of articulating your trading methods and discussing trading issues. We need more of your caliber of trader here on ET. I should give you some more background on my trading. What I have been discussing with you is my discretionary trading which is 10% -...

Most of what I trade today is automation but I still try to do discretionary trades. My discretionary trading has always been inconsistent in the past. The most significant barrier I have had and I still have is learning why I am really taking a discretionary trade. Too many discretionary trades...

Swing trading multiple time frames has been around for decades. There are many different types of time frame pairings. Here are just a few examples multiple time frame trading that can be Googled: http://www.investopedia.com/articles/trading/07/timeframes.asp#axzz1gehXZkSN...

I liked you market analysis. Your swing trading methods and mine are somewhat similar. In one of my methods rather than 60 minutes I use 78 minutes (390/5) and weekly. The weekly/60Minute method we use has been touted all over the place in the last 20 years. One of the better tested examples of...

N54, I read your original Post where you state: …I have my line in the sand set at 1158.66 (low of 2 weeks ago) as when I will say I am proven wrong and will resume my bearish stance. For now this grizzly bear has turned bull... Then later: …It is OK to be wrong as long...

You both have opposite views. Would you please share with us how you see this happening?:confused:

Bombardier, Thank you for having the courage to post your thoughts. This is the true purpose of a forum. Charts like yours create synergy among us. I believe your technical comparison presentation was well thought out. What I think is pieces are still missing from the puzzle to validate...

Thank you for your thoughtfully worded reply. :confused: I was not endorsing anyone. I could care less about the methodology of Bernstein or Sands. I trade only using only my plan which has no Bernstein or Sands in it. The point is I use these quotes because the words in them jog my memory...

As Intradaybill noted Trend following is a term that has been around for decades as defined by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trend_following So I assume you mean longer term trends. I have position traded and swing traded for years in longer term trends. To keep my head straight I often...

They play by their rules not ours. If it were one of us we would go to the slammer.:(

I totally agree with you about volatility. Volatility was just one symptom that my system was not functioning. That is what I meant by saying “… This turned out to be much harder than I anticipated. I am still adding ‘dynamics’ to these old systems. …” I can see where some...

One of the common faults in developing automated systems is a trader does not understanding the characteristics of price data (metadata) they use to test their system with. One of the first trend following systems I wrote about 20 years ago taught me this lesson. The story goes like this...

I agree with you that sound debate on ET can yield excellent results. So let us go back to some of the comments you made that set this thing off: - Personally i've always found nodoji posts highly irritating. - What never ceases to amaze me is the never ending line of puppy dogs thanking her...

ET is filled with whining Trolls who contribute nothing of substance to the forum but blasting attacks. Then there are those few who go out of their way, like NoDoji, to communicate successful trading methods and concepts. You make statements like “But don't kid yourself that she has an...

Excuse me…. It never ceases to amaze me that traders like you who have posted 39 times since June 2011 jump all over someone like NoDoji . She has posted more than 7000 entries since May 2008 and sponsored journals where we have seen her grow into one of the finest teaching traders on ET...
