I like you! So I AM going to teach you some English. As aphorisms. Starting with "Truly stupid people don't know that they are." And "Never mud-wrestle with a pig. The pig likes it oo much."

Progressive Alzheimer's is taking its toll. But there was a white trash Southern author once whose name I now forget who was asked how she made up all the stuff she wrote. She replied something like "I HAVE to make it up, because if I wrote the truth, nobody would believe it!" Everything I have...

There is only room for one humorist in this thread!

If you a coder, capture the spread and the bid/ask and see what happens to them on the change of the minute. Not always, but often enough. EVERYBODY uses the same system. But they don't know it. They have a thousand different names for the same thing. I plug a half-tick per transaction into my...

You are spot on about the psychological makeup of home traders! Definitely a clutch of sick puppies, and I am their den mother today! The best part about the entertainment is that you don't have to hear them, see them or smell them. Just rede between the lines and laugh your ass off.

Try not to be so supercilious, Jinxie. Go look it up. The fact that YOU know I am stupid doesn't bother me in the least. I have been living with that sad fact all my life. And as to you havong a superrear way to tread, I am happy for you. I have no choice in the matter. It is like a fetish...

Always. What the hell else is there to do after profit taking? Happy Hour starts when I punch out. But I am obliged to keep watching in the unlikely event that I might learn something new. And after the close I have to do some backtesting. The dullest fucking thing invaginable.

Oh, god! It is so humiliating in retrospect to be a noob. The foolish things you believe in. TA. Efficient markets. Random markets. The solemn statutory obligations of market makers.

Hey, the guy is just trying to fit in. I have twenty aliases because the first 19 embarrassed me. One must constantly reinvent onself as a trader and as a poster.

Cruel? You don't know cruel! You should see what I do to the silhouette targets on the range (I lernt this from my gentle Croatian wife when she was shooting at Bin Laden targets: "Got you in the balls that time, you baby-kiling bastard!") So as my shooting gets better I shoot first all the body...

What a delightfool analogy! I am going to plaguegiarize that! I hate drawdoons. That's like not getting laid every day. It is a leetle known fact that with a robust setup you can tweak the stops and the expectancy to get a drawdown and win rate you can live with. I have systems that may go...

I give English lessons in my spare time, if you would care to learn to fake it better. Not that you aren't faking it good awreddy. If I taught myself French I can surely teach you English. What do you mean by "returns in the triple diggitts?" The win ratio is only a psychological issue. And...

Read all of this thread and tell me what you think. The meanist thing I do is shoot grackles with an air pistol. You may not know this, but grackles are telepathic. I hate the black greasy fuckers (birds, we're talking here) because they eat the food I put out for my doves. And they screech...

That would be a good philosophy if I could pull it off. Remember your first piece of ass? Was it maybe the best you ever had? My first wife was like that. As is my first profitable system. So I look at it this way. The system will eventually leave me like she did, and I will try not to look...

Thank you for your kind thought, but in fact I am one of the most reprehensible people you would ever want to not meet. I feed doves in my back yard so I can watch the hawks eat them. Rather than poisoning rats and mice, I put down sticky traps so I can enjoy watching them gnaw their little...

Bear in mind that you are asking questions of a feeble-minded old man who cannot remember what the question was by the time he is halfway through the answer. What you ask is a painful process, like strangling a deformed newborn. There are a few tricks to deciding if a new system is simply a...

How much I had and how much I risked in daytrading are vastly different sums. When I wised up and quit trading stocks in favor of futures, I opened a $2K account. That was back when that would buy a couple of NQ's, ah, those were the days! I don't remember the exact numbers, but back then I...

In truth I did not know that I was crazy until after I had been trading about five years. I always knew I was somewhere north of newrottic, but believed I was definitely southward of psychotic. The painful acts of repeatedly writing checks to replenish my brokerage account cornvinced me...

Oh, yeah. I think I do remember you. Kinda roly-poly? Sorta not too clever? Let me explain the 2.618 extension like this. Take your weight. Divide it by your IQ. Comes out to about 2.6, right? Does THAT make any fucking sense? It is what it is, fat boy. And, no, I am not your father. The test...

Let me put it in street language you can easily follow. Support is when you don't get any resistance. Resistance is when you don't get any support. Ma's fine as frog hair, thanks for asking, Aunt Cassie. I'm planning a visit to the CME to meet with whores of another kind later this week. See...
