...thanks. Bravura show. I'm sure it was just luck! Love to see you do it again.

...Thunderdog politely expressed his disagreement with my position. I am merely politely asking back why disagrees. It's called dialogue.

..I beg to differ with your assertion that you don't use intraday S and R. Two of your calls matched within a tick of what my system called mechanically at the open. That was why I was so impressed with what you did.

..would you please explain why you like TA books, and which? Could be I read all the wrong ones! Thanks. - Mike

...I agree with you about the Schabacker. The best thing to read if you MUST read TA. His earlier cynical book on market dynamics is priceless, too. Also, Alan Farley's book is great, but I wouldn't call that TA. To me it's pattern recognition, which is the essence of mechanical system development.

...oh, come on. We ankle biters provide comic relief. There is so much BS and self-promotion here that a little cynicism is healthy. I thought Rex did a pretty good job, though I don't believe for a minute that he really described what he was thinking. It's basically a theological issue. Some...

...as a counter example, let me suggest you read the review on Amazon of "The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies" by Katz and McCormick. It really is a book about system development, but reading it might convince you that most TA is total crap. My advice is to forget the books and study the...

...underneath all the heat here lies, I think, the question for the rigid amongst us whether this system can be codified and backtested for confidence, or whether it is totally discretional (and hence disreputable, haha). IMO, what Rex did was eminently codable based on estimates at the open of...

...excuse please, english not naive language. Why no say short stop belower 1406? You no bereave outbreak? So-al, you cheat! You watch report/desistence QQQ! Fraud!

...fess up. Are you watching QQQ simultaneously?

...is there a prob with the link to the .pdf? I couln't download it this AM. Only get an icon. Thanks. - Mike

...very nice site and well described trading approach. Excuse me for an idiot, but have you backtested any of those candlepatterns and entries? The intuitively disadvantaged among us need a trading teddy bear. Best regards and thanks. - Mike

...thank you kindly for the hint. Can it be tweaked to work with, say, less than 7 parameters? That's my empirical rule of thumb for a complexity limit. Best regards. - Mike

...as long as we're here, wherever that is, do you backtest? Always interested in sharing, as long as it's only things that don't work. Sorry if that's a stupid question of you, I'm not much up on who's who on ET. Thanks. - Mike

...thanks. If I do anything with it I'll let you know. I'm already horrendously backlogged with bad ideas to test! - Mike

...thanks for directing me here. I see in your initial post that you use E-Signal. Are you using the backtesting capability? Thanks. - Mike

...thanks a lot.Will go there.

...I am rapidly achieving senile dementia. I thought I posted a question to you asking how you trading style was dictated by trading mornings only, but I don't see it here. Maybe that was on another thread. Anyway, is there a story there? Thanks. - Mike

...I like that 3 part strategy, also trivially easy to backtest. I'll go chunk it. I have lost track of you since you and and your friends stopped posting on the SI e-mini thread, and was unaware that you had a website. Would you post the URL please, if it doesn't violate some ET rule? Thanks. -...

... less IS more. And so much less stressful. My goal in trading is to be bored stiff. I now read while trading, just watchin the screen with peripheral vision. If price goes apeshit the motion will catch my eye. I don't use indicators or oscillators. The E-Signal code simply overlays on price...
