...I am astounded by your personal revelations. My grandchildren are almost as old as you are. My mental image of you is demolished, you punk! You and any two of your Gen-Whatever friends together are not as old as I am. To think I took your posts seriously! I recommend to the moderator that...

...please permit me to offer a conter argument. First, no self-respecting trader will post to Chit-Chat, it's undignified. Second, look at how many hits it got in so short a time, and ET is all about hits. Third, the question went straight to the core of the experience of cyberspace posting...

...I had no idea ET did that. I switch signatures depending on the inanity of my posting. Which gives me an idea...put the content of the post in the signature, then you can change it whenever you want. Doesn't allow for much text or variation, but then most posters here don't have that much to...

You must carefully think through whether or not you will take my trade signals, fade them, or stand aside. The leading indicators are announced at 10:00 AM ET tomorrow. An arithmetically-challenged third grader could have calculated the numbers last week, but never mind, it's NEWS. There WILL...

Please create a one minute chart of NQZ3 and set your indicators and oscillators as follows: MACD: 6/26/-3.5 ATR in the SAR: 0.7 %R: 9 RSI: adjust to match the %R (for confidence and confirmation) MA's: sma at 5, tma at 7, use the n-ema of your choice Stochastics: whatever you...

...oh, yeah, very valued contributor. Me and Phoenix and a bunch of other other baddies just got booted off of another thread for posting the most serious and literate set of mini book reviews on trading that you would ever want to read. Learning before trading is OT! Like posting before...

...now we know that Inandlong has no life, and that neither is he "Scientist". As an insider, can you get us a special dispensation to keep this thread in the psych forum until we're exhausted? You could say that it is an extraordinary real-time case study of the madness of traders. Perhaps you...

...two more psychotraders check in. However, my two favorites are missing, you know who you are. But in the case of one, it's only 7AM in Paris, so he may be still sheeping, I mean, sleeping.

..yah, that's it. A riot from cover to cover. Roscoe here put me onto it, and it's a treasure. Don't take my word for it, PM him. I have asked my betters here numerous "stupid" questions about mechanical system development, and guess what, Babcock gives the EXACT opposite answers. Proof positive.

...I think you are on to something. I have noticed that many of the most interesting threads turn into circle-jerks, and that there are about 3-4 such (circles, not jerks, which are much more abundant). Applying the multiple personality hypothesis to this will find the answer. Another way is to...

Bollinger, it's Sunday night! Set your ET posting MACD oscillator up. Precisely at 9:30 ET the posting rate drops precipitously. When the morning doldrums set in, the steam gets let off and the BS flies. NOBODY is going to offer anything of substance here, because it cost us too much money to...

...for me it's a pretty short list after that: Schabacker, Stock Market Profits (out of the '30s, very cynical) Kaufman, Trading Systems and Methods (the Bible of systems) Farley, Master Swing Trader (veeeerrryyyy deep) Babcock, Guide to Trading Systems (out of print) Katz and McCormick...

...that was his stage name. His real name was Langhorn Leghorn. He's still alive, though enfeebled, in the Screen Actor's Guild rest home in Beverly Hills.

Assuming that I don't get too drunk and forget, on Monday 20 October 2003 (that is a trading day, isn't it?), and assuming that the objections are not overwhelming, I shall post, one time only, free, gratis, gratuit, a connect-the-dots morning trading plan for NQ. This will consist of a set of...

...to remember '50s cartoons, the pompous rooster Langhorn Leghorn. And in case nobody has noticed, there's an orgy of adoration transpiring in the Short Term Trading thread, where all the sobersided folk are.

...I wasn't joking. All those things happened this past week. Funky is a psychodynamical genius! This thread is proof positive of the ailimentary fullness at ET (for you, Harry, the operative expression here is "J'en ai plein le cul.") One of my favorite authors, John Hayden, said in his "21...

...indeed, it is the Millenium delayed! Grob109 gets respect and posts his method in comprehensible and comprehensive DETAIL. Harry's English improves! REX had a losing trade! Could it be that all of the posters in this thread are Scientist? That would make Sybil a piker for multiple personalities.

..totally agree. The second one gives you the cure, but the first one defines the disease. It amazed me how many people on SI thought it was new age trash. I have no doubt that it will be recieved into the future as the best trading book ever, even though it contains not a word on method.

...before this thread gets moved ignominiously to Chit-Chat, perhaps we should redefine the objective as "Who is NOT Scientist?" I believe I can safely say that he is NOT Harry, as I know for a fact that Harry is not a native English speaker. He is NOT Grob109, as what he says is perfectly clear...

...you are too kind. After you have read Zone, I recommend that you read The Disciplined Trader. It got trashed in some SI circles, but IMO it, too, is a great book. The basic premise, hard for a lot of people to buy, is that you "give" yourself money from the markets in proportion to your...
