    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    The Doaks Dow Divergence indicator failed six times out of eight to predict the correct direction of the next ES move, again supporting the heretical anti-hershical hypothesis that ES leads YM!

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Nkhoi, you seemed to be so much smarter before you became a moderator. Don't give me that premium argument. Premium changes very slowly on the scale of minutes, and therefore variations in YM and ES premium cannot be the cause of the divergence which you believe you see between YM and ES. Ergo...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Hmmm. You may have something there. Of the nine two minute divergences today, eight incorrectly predicted the subsequent SPX move. What do you call a delusion whose opposite is correct? A contrary illusion or contusion? As the old joke goes, "The Northern Baptist says, there ain't no hell. The...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    Yeah, laugh you psycho-monkeys! You couldn't code a third-order Kalman even if you knew what it was! So far this morning there have been five DJX/SPX divergences, ALL wrong! But you'll have to wait to tonight to see them. I am going to keep pounding on this until a Jacker who can fucking CODE...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    I am on a selfless mission to disabuse the Hershey cult of the primary tenet (or as Jack would say, "tenant") of SCT: the delusion that YM leads ES. It is so egregious that one needs a new word for it, delusion + illusion = dillusion. Not being a cultist myself I have no YM subscription, but I...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    I am reluctant to corrupt this fine qualitative thread with some analysis, but I am getting heartily sick of the platitudes and attitudes here. You want to see a delusion? YM leads ES by a couple of minutes? If it does, then DJX should lead SPX, right? Attached is a one minute chart of SPX...

    What catalyst transformed you to a successful trader?

    AustinP, likely no one here, except possibly Jack, is old enough to remember the childrens' show "Ding Dong School" on TV. It stuck with me. One audible goes DING (double bottomy), another goes DONG (double toppy), and I double top and lobotomy all day long (there being range to support it). It...

    What catalyst transformed you to a successful trader?

    There is an underlying rhythmical structure to price action which fairly straightforward signal estimation techniques readily reveal. It's an engineering thing. That structure is instantiated in my four trading screens with their nineteen individual studies. Eleven unique audibles continuously...

    Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

    I'll tell you where the delusion comes from that ET will give you a system. When we were four we learned to count for free, then a few years later we made minimum wage making change for burgers slung. In my case, I subsequently learned to convert base ten to octal nearly for free, and became an...

    New Report

    I have a friend who has a friend who has a cousin whose ex wife is sleeping with a CFT commisioner who swears that some secret keywords are "new", "sponsor", "picks" and "perfect".

    New Indicator

    Uh, boss...please stick to the figurehead PR side of things. Our next product, now in epsilon testing (it failed beta, gamma, and delta) is the Hypautomator. It is an automatic trade generator designed for SCT traders whom can't make up their minds how to weight and integrate pace, channel...

    New Indicator

    Hi, ET! My name is Joe Doaks, and I'm the Senior Vice President of Product Development for Hypenterprises Associates International. Earlier this week we previewed for ET traders only the Hyposculator indicator for SCT-Extended. Just five minutes ago we completed coding and optimization of a...

    What's your wishlist for an ideal backtesting program?

    I'd like to see a program so smart it can do three things: Say "Already tried that, don't work, don't waste your time." and "That's the stupidest fucking trading idea I have ever seen!" and "You're overoptimizing, dummy!"

    Anti-Jack Trading

    Nononsense, I once had a fairly accurate (and probably totally spurious) linear estimator of the S&P 500 based on the yield, the 90 day T-Bill rate, and M3 (you remember what THAT was, haha!). I got there by correlating the S&P with every bit of data I could find, like the size of the Ukrainian...

    Anti-Jack Trading

    I'M the qualified quant here! Carry on, please Mr. NoNo! SCT is child's play compared to multidimensional analysis. You can't imagine how hard I have tried to find the eigen-functions, -vectors and -values of the market! My brain needs some rest and a good laugh!

    Anti-Jack Trading

    My turn. I'm the resident mathematician. "The end of trends occurs when the Gaussian reverses at the end of the prior Gaussian." I do so miss the alternate spelling "Guassian", which for years has suggested to me a touch of lysdexia. Jack clearly has an amanuensis now. Poor girl! "You want...

    Anti-Jack Trading

    I don't post here often. The place is too stupid. But you guys take the cake. It's not about knowledge. It's about information. Trust me, I'm an expert in information theory. And optimal estimation. Bitch Market was Vegas before there was Vegas. Take NQ. Just another high stakes table. $1875...

    The Psychopathology of Everyday Trading

    The key word in that first chapter title is "proper". The improprietous poster also not improbably is an impropitious trader. Such a prattling prating preening poster would never ask a crowd at a metro stop to bestow on him a handsome lifetime annuity. Yet the very same fool will broadcat on ET...
