After yesterday's round of wincingly awful posts, this deluaion sprang to mind, that: "People so dumb they can't even spell can trade." Other ET critics have boners for rudeness, megalomania, arrogance, misrepresentation and outright deception. Me, I just hate bad spelling. Fortunately, there...

Schadentrade, you need help. And you have come to the right thread. Do you have a sense of deja vu? That you have been here before? I certainly do. Not that I object to reinventing onself. I have done it myself, many times. But eventually you lose a sense of self, and become soulless. Soulless...

Thank you, Pointless, for the first civil post in pages. An anti-Hershey madman has hijacked my thread and I must get it back on track. Hence I offer the following extraordinary popular delusion: "That the question of SCT's validity will eventually be established on ET". Regards to all. And Joe...

Umhumm. And: What natural trading gift would you most like to possess?

That I can understand. Continuing: What is your principal trading defect?

Well, it has taken me four long days to recover from that interview with Rahula. Not exactly what I expected. But hope springs eternal. After much cajoling, I have induce John Merchant to take the Proust trading questionnaire. He said, "What the fuck? Nobody is reading it anyway!" So John, to...

Thank you, Rahula, and best of luck with your NQ trading. You are an inspiration to us all. (As an aside, would you mind very much calling your trades to me in real time in PMs? I think I know how to make good use of them.)

Moving right along; What words or phrases do you most overuse in trading?

I see. To continue: What is your greatest trading regret?

That being the case, tell us, please why you even remotely consider what Hypostomus teaches you to have any value? Relative to the value Mr. Hershey brings, that is, all things on ET being relative.

I deeply regret that I asked. I am quite stunned by your response, because here Hypostomus is universally regarded as quite the fool. We hold him in no better regard, than, say, a born-yesterday Hershey accolyte with his first post to his credit, which isn't saying much. But to continue with...

Well, yesterday's responses certainly were illuminating. Especially those PMs I received from my private correspondents, who tend to be very spare in their postings. Everyone slyly turned down my invitations to be interviewed. Excuses varied from modesty to having evacuated NQ to fear of the...

I might agree with you if I even understood the post you referenced.

You noticed that? I don't SEE anything. I pattern. I write algorithms. I quantify. And ultimately I threshold for a binary decision. Never anything qualitative or fuzzy about it.

Jack. I teach my clients that there is no box. Art.

Belly. Nearly seven years. Art.

Well, this conversation has certainly taken an unexpected turn which I am ill-equiped to facilitate. I am one of those little guys who thinks NQ is a big contract, haha! So if I am following, you are looking for price extremes which you take positions contrary to? At the risk of further...

You are far too modest. I don't know all those symbols, but I do watch CL, GC, the dollar and rates, because they all affect my pocketbook, so you at least have to make a clever assessment of when those are moving with or agin' the indices. So diversification in a trend is your thing? May I ask...

BTW, I tell my older therapy clients that you're never pabst your prime as long as you wake up in the morning alive and with a hard-on. Alas, I am so old that some mornings I have to help it. Well, sir, I am impressed. I am a complete piker compared to you. I feel so superior to most aspiring...

Thank you for replying, Blue Ribbon. What percent of your trades are NQ now? And are the remainder ES? Another possible explanation is that people like me were constructing real-time synthetic indices (I was using top 10) before the fucking NASDAQ required $10K annually for the component...
