Atterboy, Jack! Tha tint is up and tha choir is a singin'! Brang 'um ta Jaysus!

I don't know what nothing Jack is doing that he can afford time from saving humanity from itself to talk to me, but I am bored stiff watching my codes run in real time while I try to streamline them to handle 10,000 trades per second without choking. I hate it when the market opens on a hot day...

Patience. The fat lady has not sung yet. Strangely, I agree with you on this one: "As a trend goes forward, it sets up bands where the trend can end. And by discovering what happens before the first band is formed, you can fill in the table of all the possibilities and just what context...

And BPA is? I suspect that one reason you don't get a better reception here is that your mind is organized quite differently. What seems to be perfectly obvious to you drives others up the wall. Being happy with their own minds, they don't see any need to work to think like you do. I have been...

I misunderstood, interpreting "barriers" paranoidly wrt a shit-hits-the-fan scenario, which is my vision of the future. It is good that you are keeping your hand in encouraging sound ecological practices. And perhaps all the references you provided will keep your critics busy researching. I have...

A shame. I keep hoping that someone who is serious will draw you out again for an orderly presentation of the intraday method. I doubt that you need me to gloss anything you said for the benefit of ET, but regarding "barriers on all sides" do you mean geographic, as in a possible SHTF scenario?

Assuming that your question was serious, and not guaranteeing that my answer would be serious, I believe that answering it properly depends on whether your trading style is investing, swing trading or daytrading. I think you rubric is an important one, because trading based on Boolean logic...

Kurgan, let's start over. I was was hoping that Jack would take pity on you and help, but it appears that he has tired of the game. So you are stuck with me. Please tell me what style of trading suits you and if you are trading now so I can tailor my tutelage (or is that tute my tailorage...

Don't scoff. The imagined didactic dialogue is a fine literary device invented by Plato and cherished until David Hume's time. But in truth, there are no sock puppets here, unless Jack is imagining Kurgan. I certainly am not.

The college is hard to find. The main campus is located in the one small clear space remaining in my garage, with the overflow extension school being in the back of the garden shed. As to crazy or troll, why can't I be both? The prosaic colorless truth is that, like Jack, I am a tired and...

Thanks. That explains my elevated blood sugar, cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic in my checkup last week. Thank goodness they don't test for blood alcohol. You may recall from when you posted that some years ago that I commented that a competently backtested system utterly free of...

I'm not sure I know all that you expect of accolytes/supplicants, so I will not hazard a guess. I will simply make observations. New poster. Varying quality of bad English. Enjoyed (I think) baiting the GOV. Not giving away anything personal. But also obviously not from here. I think of myself...

All I know is that Kurgan isn't me. It is very difficult to sustain believable fractured English if English is your native languge. At least I have not been able to do it well. I think I detect lapses here. The trick is to be fluent in English and another language and to consistently substitute...

Nice figure. Are you going to make him roll over and beg for the rest of it?

Be nice. Kurgan's native language is proto-indo-european, which predates English a bit.

Over ten years. It is overkill and too pricy for the straight-forward kind of charting you seem to do. It is best if what you need is clean, low-latency unaggregated tick data and the ability to process it using your own codes. People here tell me NinjaTrader is better, though. I have stuck with...

The charting package is eSignal. It allows you to add to the basic chart so-called "studies" which are home-grown codes in their scripted language EFS. You can highlight the code results in colors as you desire. The exaggerated Cray aspect is that with a fast large memory computer you can run...

Did you look up his reference to Bhu-Mandala? Not much different intellectually from believing that there are nine circles of hell. If you ever had doubts about peoples' ability to misperceive reality, read ET closely. And I think the whole thread is a well-executed charade, of which I am...

Don't know the guy. Does he post here? You said he was a cretin.

Not much to tell. Charted price looks to the eye like it has turned. How many methods have you explored to quantify that "look?" I probably have developed dozens, most of them goofy and useless. And I've seen lots of absurdly arcane ones here, which I never fail to deride mercilessly. So I...
