Zilch, Zero, Nul, Nichts, Nyet, 0, :p If they could trade they would be making money instead of sitting in a stuffy office under bright lights. Sherlock :cool:

Been there, done that and with more advanced stuff that you have ever heard about. The 'ol human psychology does not change over time that much and one doesn't need any fancy code to display it. Just knowing how to interpret what you see on the screen. We'll see pretty nice swings the...

I agree. In the past I raved on about IBM's "automated support" for HW drivers, patches etc. I was looking today and it has become the pits! Cannot find anything anymore! Must have had to do with the sale of IBM PC division to the Chinese or has it to do with the acquisition of PWC? (I used...

Some books that had (some) value (not in the same way as Jack Schwager): - The battle for investment survival - Gerald M Loeb (not interviews, more about the guy himself) - Trading with oscillators, Mark Etzkorn (describes stuff from different sources) - Computerized trading, Mark Jurik...

GLOBEX / IDEALPRO / NYMEX(?) (Crude Light Oil) are OK, no problems here. Sherlock

Curtis lurks on ET. There are two primary websites associated with the Turtles, one was set up by an ex-turtle who was kicked out of the program for not following the rules and the other was set up (years later) by Curtis to put the record straight. Sherlock

Profitable trading is based on the premise that people will keep on making the same mistakes as they always have. "This time it will be different", yeah right! Sherlock

The National Weather Service said there was "total structural failure" in parts of metro New Orleans with wind gusts surpassing 120 mph. Section of Superdome roof opens up

San Francisco Earthquake 1906. Before the earthquake the DJ was around 72, initially it went up before the reports of devastation started to come in and realisation started to sink in with Joe Bloggs and his mates Tom, Dick and Harry. It dropped to around 63. (> 10% drop). It recovered largely...

I think it was Gann who coined the phrase: "When time and price square then change is inevitable". Am finding that with the right indicators price are the only external data that I require. :cool: Sherlock

US ET'rs: Will Katrina be on the scale of the San Fransico earthquake? Thnx Sherlock

Swing trade, don't scalp. Trade Eurex that has native stops. Sherlock

Jack, Yes! Yes! I can see your system clearly now. The way your mind runs it makes it a good system for you! :D :cool: Sherlock

It is simple: the tides depend on the phases of the moon. When the tide is low that is not the time to launch / beach your fishing boat. You'll launch / beach the boat when it is high tide, otherwise the shoreline is too far away. Launching at high tide has the added benefit that when you...

PLL - Phase Locked Loop But just like fourier etc. it needs time to "lock in". When sunspots, atmospheric disturbances, dusk or dawn increase / decrease activity then the tickometer comes into its own. Without the tickometer it will get difficult to measure the gaussian distribrution of...

And not to forget morse (just the carrier). Do you know morse? Up to 35 words / min with a straight key (prior to PC's) and using 5 W and a simple dipole to work 100 countries? Something else that is obsolete now. But the ones that give the best signals are SSB and DSB. I like DSB best for...

misunderstanding or understanding? :confused: :D Jack, getting back to another thread where we crossed paths the other day. I think that you are missing lots of opportunities with using volume and / or using a volatility qualifier: these filters limit your opportunities a lot. Oh yeah, I did...

NN :D Be good, Sherlock :cool: Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Watson: "You see, but do not observe. The distinction is clear. For instance you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room." "Frequently." "How often?" "Well, some hundreds of times." "Then...

TokyoTrader, don't let anyone discourage you examining something that you believe in. Perhaps there is an angle that no-one has looked at and that is working. :D :D :D I found something that others also said would never work, yet it works better than what they have. This is because I took...

Learned a lot from Trader Vic's book. Present US government would do well reading his thoughts on the economy according to Robinson Crusoe. But many years ago Wiley's press was into a lot of computer books, these days they seem to have given it away. (at least I seem to feel they have become...
