All part of the asrenal.

Everyone knows what a thermostat does. Temperature is above the upper cooling temperature limit, the AC turns on. Temperature is below the lower heating temperature limit, the heat goes on. The thermostat itself restricts how tight you can set the range of the limits. In between both limits...

How is that defined or evidenced, the way you trade, if not by failure of the entry decision?

I come down on Opie's side. As a system trader, I exit on signal failure, not on a fixed point stop. Unless I lose my nerve first. ET's god of trading, you-know-who, he-who-cannot-be-criticised lest mods go ball-istic, famously advocated "No stops!"

OK. Is le Maitre no longer responding to your PMs? Given you up for a younger and stupider sickyfant, has he? Well, I am here for you, and will be for at least twenty years after Jackie croaks. I may even be in the same house, as, after an indecent interval, I plan to knock on Liz's door. But...

Don't answer your door. Make them smash it in.

My man Jackie, and I love him like a father, does NOT slither. He oozes along like a snail. Or better yet, like that beast that leaves slimy tracks on your sheets at night. I go back and forth. Some days I think that a collective of mindblown punk kids make him up. Some days that he is one...

I have three theories about you. One. You are as dumb as you seem. Two. You are trying to be funny. Three. You are an agent provocateur. Or maybe a dumb funny agent provocateur. Jack won't do Jack shit to justify himself.

You heard it here first.

Jack be nimble, Jack be quick. Jack jumped over The fractal stick.

Tiki, you need this code. Sixty SLOCs.

Attached is an example of a screamer with a tight spread.

I also neglected to mention that the cleaver trader will want to know what the spread is doing ("tight feels good, loose is bad"), so gratuit my clients also get the Doaks Spread Visualizer, not to be confused with what RCGs Girl posts in ChitChat.

Ah, yes, Mr. Williams. The best thing he ever did as to beget Michelle.

BTW, Brass, I like your name. If Dr. Mudgins thread about leaving ET had been allowed to continue here, he would have shared with you my own idiosyncratic solution, which is to decap brass while watching the market. It keeps my hands so busy that they are not tempted to bring up ET. Other manual...

Brilliantly deceptive of you to ask. En fait, the system is tick based, I merely display it on one second to keep the scale comprehensibly compressed. Of course the entries and exits must use market orders to capture the brief move. As you well know, my trading hero is the estimable Mr. Jack...

I forgot to add that for those clients who also have ADHD, I add atrociously annoying audibles to signal entries and exits to secure their fleeting attention.

De temps en temps, my dear friend and mentor Dr. Duref Mudgins sends to me one of his elderly patients who wants to continue trading despite the ravages of advancing Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Mudgins jokes, although it is not really funny, that he "wants the trade to be over before the patient...

Is it any wonder? With a 20 tick stop it's a prayer, not a system.

A demurrer. The action at the NQ LOD today is a mite clearer on a one-second chart.
