I'm a .357 magnum guy myself, although I own far too many mouseguns of dubious utility. But at least you can carry one wearing shorts and a tee. I have been at this so long that I should be good at it by now, over ten years, proof positive that practice does not always make perfect. Can't go...

Herr Wiesman, put me on ignore if I am violating your thread's protocols, but this old grey head needs to be knocked into understanding how you can attribute accumulation and distribution motives to volume in an index future dominated by hedging of positions taken in a multitude of other...

Mr. XBurbx, beware. Many people here are adept at appearing to know what they are doing. They believe fervently in the '60's advice to "fake it 'til you make it." I advise you to stick to your swing system and just play at intraday trading. I have an investment system that has worked well...

Mr. Money, despite my deep and reluctant admiration for our own Mr. Hershey, I do not trade trend lines. I don't even draw them. And even when they clearly work, which they randomly do, I discount it as a temptation from the Devil to deviate from my stout faith.

Mr. Xburbx, I thank you for your interest in my inconsequential self, and apologize for being antisocial, but I would prefer to carry on any dialogues with others here out in the full open for the amused astonishment of our little inbred society. I am a Theravadan Buddhist at heart, and one of...

Mr. Money, it is difficult to have confidence in a strategy when you don't have a strategy. I have 38 unique potential S/R levels identified on my charts, and when enough of them are in mystical conjunction I make an astrological leap of faith.

Champagne has bubbles. And every ounce of gold I own seems to go up one bottle of champagne a day.

Please permit me to comment positively on this announcement. While the savings are welcome, the surprise to me was the power of the broker integration software. I grumbled to myself "Why do I have to wade through ESignal's nearly incomprehensible (and somewhat incomplete) broker plug-in...

In defense of Mr. Zones, in a bad mood I could easily have written his disparaging post. I thought it was well put. Perhaps because he is as bitter as I am about going down that path? Brokers, data providers and market makers want you as confused as possible to liberate you from as much money as...

Apologies for lowjacking this thread into a dialogue with Mr. Hershey on trading philosophy. Just put us on ignore. Your reply to me was far wider ranging than I have the leisure fully to respond to, but do I want to comment briefly on your view of strategy testing. If I am following you...

You have not told us how you trade, but from your criticism I suspect that you are not a support and resistance trader. Those of us who are have very definite notions of how long the meander from one to the other should take. So we're outa there if we find that we are wrong. Meaning that we...

She won't get on top and let you watch the market over her shoulder? Or better, over the top of her head?

Learn to scalp for pocket change. That will also keep you too busy to post.

OK, so things have been going to hell in America for more than 224 years. What else is new? It has its compensations. I can't buy a slave for $20 or land for pennies on the hectare any more, but if I catch the clap from a slave's descendant in a back alley I can get a course of penicillin for $3...

Mr. Zones perhaps objects to the fact that you seem to attract to your banner mostly novice traders. There is something slightly squeamish about your expansive encouragement of them when the natural tendency of hard-hearted experienced traders is to be cautionary. So I think he is viscerally...

You don't get the joke. It's the dollar that is deflating.

The market will continue to go up as long as the dollar continues to go down. You should be putting your dollars where foreigners are putting theirs.

Trader Zones, what is your beef with Jack Hershey? You don't like primary and complementary trend lines? As old as the first chart ever drawn. Congestion convergence and centering? Ditto. Breakouts? Don't make me repeat myself. The same for depth of market and divergence of price from index. Mr...

Abattia, I like what everybody else likes. Trading is like fashion. If you don't like what is popular, you'll go naked. Other traders obviously like the pivot, so I do, too. I chart it intraday for the occasional support or resitance it offers, and on the daily chart for the rarer retraces to...

If personal protection under all conditions is paramount they should sell out and move to the South where they can pack 24/7. In my state two percent of the populace has concealed carry permits, and that number rises a tenth of a percent every year.
