Your trading diary Your trading diary Your trading diary Your trading diary Your trading diary Why? Because you get more distracted by all the BS that you read than that you gain. Study your mistakes, figure out what went wrong, figure out if you can prevent them (or minimize the...

LBR's or the real skirt one? Hank: it reminds me of the old hand on the floor: new guy starts and has his hands full of charts. Old hand: "Sonny, what are those lines?" Sonny "Sir, you see that line, that's called resistance and price will go up to there. And hten it will turn around and...

Seems that at least a few have figured it out already. So it looks like there is no need for the full disclosure requirement of the patent office. And did Prof also not have some rule about joining his room by invitation only so he could keep out the commercial guys? Hmmm... another...

IB's TWS can have some nice configured function keys Sherlock

and when cycles flat-line (likely after it initially fibrillates) it is all over. and yes I understand in depth cycles.

Flawed thinking and going against the "natural law" of the markets. (actually of all life) The natural law states that whenever there is one force dominant then this will eventually kill off the golden goose that feeds it. When money flows into my pocket then it comes out of someone...

1860 books and you have not come accross it? Did you only read the covers? Or what? One thing is certain: you have not studied them in-depth and have trouble assimilating information. You just showed how ignorant and ill informed you are. Academics with their tunnel views. :eek: Sherlock

1) I may know a thing or two more about flow charting than you'll ever know. 2) Who says that no-one has flow charted his trading rules? 3) There have been enough cases that prove that you cannot patent a formula or a flowchart. Yes they may grant it to you (in their stupidity and laziness...

America's patent office really gone ridiculous. How can you patent something that others have presented in slightly different ways but which principle is exactly the same? Just that they did choose not to reveal it in public as much as you do does not make you the inventor. There is...
