I rest my case on posting paucity on a narrow range day.

LuckyGirl asked me in a PM what really I look like, as in print I project this aura of sagacity and profundity. Sorry to disappoint. More like sag-ass-ity.

Obviously my critics are non-believers in edges, what we on the B-Team call "edgyists." "SCT as a trading philosophy is egregiously edgyistic' comes to mind.

Ah, low literary criticism is such an inspiration! How does one feel when one posits, codifies, optimizes, backtests and successfully forward tests an edge? Why, "edgestatic," of course.

Rodion and jjf, all I can think of in retort is "Edgecrement!"

Finally, I leave as exercises for the student the proper definition and usage of "edgified," "edgeated," "edgeiphile," "edgeomic," "edgeonomic," and "edgeominious."

Inexplicably, I forgot the skill I am proudest of, edgification, the art of converting trading intuition to edges, as in: "In his middle age, Hypostomus wasted many years of his precious waning life in futile attempts at SCT edgification."

Kindly pardon my little tour de farce. I don't trade range-bound days well, my trend-day triggers are ominously silent, and I am going slowly mad with boredumb. But I am having a little fun coding up the inverse of a famous trend trading system. I may post the results at EOD.

The B-Team's noble objective on ET needs no definition: "We seek the total edgification of ET!"

Do you begin to see the rich possibilities in creating a 21st century trading langauge? We could do for this generation what Jack did for the generations preceding us. TeasinggTara, for example, is our the very avatar of one who teaches the use of edges, as in: "Tara is a truly commited edgeator...

From there it is but a short hop to the meaning conveyed by: "Joe Doaks is the most supremely edgeistical system developer on ET."

And of course it goes without saying that 666 is the epitome of "edgeistic", being perhaps the B-Team's most fervent believer in edges.

My daily interactions with the B-Team brought into common usage "edgely", that quality so prized by them of appreciating edges, as in: "JimmyJam is a convivially edgely poster."

My many years of studying Jack inspired "edgitation", the uncontrollable aversion to edge trading, as in: "Jack becomes apoplectically edgitated at the mere mention of edges."

Close observation of the A-Team led me to "edgeable", the latent but educable ability to learn to trade edges. This example comes to mind: "Neoxx is clearly un-edgeable."

The trading prowess of the individuals on the B-Team inspired me to establish "edgement" as the quality of trading profitably with edges, as in: "Thunderdog demonstrates excellent edgement in his trading."

Continuing, I define "edgelet" as the kind of flimsy, fleeting low expectation edge favored by scalpers. In proper usage one might observe: "SCT in truth is composed of a rapid succession of seemingly connected edgelets which give the illusion of continuity."

Further, I define "edgy," in the context of a postulated trading strategy, as "the quality of almost having positive expectation, such that optimization might make it profitable." An example of proper usage is: "LuckyGirl is cautiously optimizing an edgy edgette she just discovered."

This hour we find prim and proper Miss Pivot rebuffing persistently ardent Mr. Price: "I know you are irresistably drawn to me, but no matter when you approach me, next hour, next day or next month, I'll fend you off!"

Je vous remercie, Chien-qui-Tonne! Bien fait! Et a tout de ET je dis: "Faites un effort!"
