    "Chop wood, carry water"

    I degree. Every day seems to bring a new low(thsome). But at least for a while I am stuck trading mostly the open, until I get some other things that work equally reliably. I am into reliability, not expectation, lossing just sticks in my craw like a missed chickenbone. Given that, what else is...

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    One hopes he did not eat them. Well, here I am in Chit-Chat, obviously the moderators do not catch the subtle connections in my writings to Psychology Comma Abnormal Comma Disturbing. I don't know why that always pisses me off. Guess it's time to fade oy veh again. As always, thank you for your...

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    Strictly speaking, NoDoji, they were adobe llamingos, named Kokomo and Bogart. Jack and Liz sold them when Jack retired from EMS volunteering. You truly are missing an opportunity by not seeking him out. If I lived there, I certainly would, as he is twelve years older than me and the actuarial...

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    Huit, thank you for that thought, but I neither anticipate nor fear entropy, as I have died many times and come back whole and know for a fact it is a crock. Well, knowledge is lost each time, but a few dates with loose women and that is quickly restored. You have my utmost admiration for...

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    Thanks, Horny! Just for you I am still funding Joe Doaks to reduce SCT to 20 lines of code. Almost there! That would be about ten more than what I am using now, haha! Siddhatta Gautama said: "Fletchers make straight the arrow. Irrigators lead the water where they will. Carpenters shape the...

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    The universe is holotropic. All that was, is. All that will be, is already. I was a winner before. I will be a loser in the future. Only the ratio has changed in the now. Elevation to gurudumb is next.

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    Didn't know I was looking. I had a certain other old Tucson geezer in mind. You know him? Any houses for sale nearby his? I'm sure he could use a buddy during RMH to help him avoid trading. If you don't trade either, you could join us. Equal opportunity bullshitting.

    "Chop wood, carry water"

    OK. It finally sank in this morning that I have a reliable modest winning system. Not going to own the world, even at today's prices, because it has finite scalability. And if I got too greedy and become too obvious "they" could queer the deal. Have to stay below the radar. So I have this tidy...

    Trading Serenity

    Good question! No, I have a separate account for dream trading the overnight session, and all the profits go in that for me to spend in my dreams. But that's not the best part. LBR wrote that (perhaps I paraphrase a bit): "Nothing gives you confidence for the rest of the day like a quick scalp...

    Trading Serenity

    Chumley, maybe the reverse would work. Almost every night I dream about trading the overnight session (way too old now for wet dreams), and have a lot of fun at it and learn a lot. It never bothers me that even in the dream I know that I don't have a computer or an internet connection, the...

    The most important / useful indicator for E-mini chart study

    Candlestick chart and nothing else. But choose the colors of the candles wisely. It makes a huge difference.

    Trading Serenity

    Chumley, you are indeed fortunate to have found such a lovely young lady to mentor. I have never tried mentoring the deceased, but if the (mentally) deceased on ET (not naming names) can mentor the living, why not the reverse?

    Trading Serenity

    TW, there was serenity of a sort to be found in the overnight markets, as they first retraced to Friday's lows and back again to Friday's highs. It was a bit like watching "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew," speaking of old B&W films. I trust that that reference pushed some Christian's...

    Volume analysis is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

    Let me try. When the B-Team held its annual summer disunion last December Thunderdog wrote to me by ticker tape that he could see the Price Efficiency of Volume with both nostrils as he felt the screen sound like a neurotic lemon falling into my purple smell. Try it yourself. It is NOT...

    Volume analysis is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

    Jack, thank you so much! Your posts created a time machine that carried me back to my youth! I remember quite clearly at age four lying flat on my back on a grassy lawn, gazing transfixed at the complex cloud formations above me, and seeing in them god. At age eight in the wee hours of the...

    Volume analysis is to be discarded as it is "too much information"

    I like posting at night because by the time morning arrives no one will ever see it. One reason the A-Team and the B-Team are often at each others' throats is that at least B-mers are systematic traders who test, whereas most if not all the butts of our cynical analyses are not. Now I respect...
