Now it is coming to me. As a software-assisted mechanical trader I value proper orthography because otherwise THE CODE DOESN'T WORK. Maybe I mistakenly assumed that verbal communication worked the same way.

From today: "run awaw" Now w is far enough on the keyboard from y that this poster was coining a new phrase for us. As in "run away from the law", "run away like a squaw" or "run away from your faux pas" or something bizarre like that. The inside of the mind of a trader is a scary place.

Don't confuse the simplicity of trading with dumbness. What I do is simple, but I didn't arrive at it by being dumb. Thanks Cold, you give great counter-examples.

Poor orthography in a native speaker is inexcusable. It is lazy and shows disrespect for mankind's most precious invention after language itself, the written word. When I see someone here who purports to be a trading expert and he can't even spell correctly, I know there is something amiss...

M. Chien-qui-Tonne, my profoundest apologies. I somehow missed your thread, perhaps while I was temporarily deceased. If ET had a feature to subscribe to posters rather than only to threads, I surely would follow your footsteps. And Jack's, too, of course, no disrespect intended to you. I...

"guidence" At least it wasn't "guidunce".

Exponential moving average.

Most guardians of the public morals ARE bitter old men.

Veggen, no offense or offence intended to non-native speakers, whatever that might with the world-wide proliferation of our most mongrelized language. I will be picking only on allegedly native speakers, specifically Amuricans. For as long as moderation suffers this thread to exist, I will be...

Thanks to all, and sorry for stomping your turf, Datamerc. Poor orthography here is a source of constant amusement and amazement to me. I suppose I should get out more. I will use this thread to share the better examples. Please feel free to do so yourselves. Be advised that I don't even get...

As a language purist and somewhat of an historian, I am keenly aware these days of the age-old correlation between the deterioration of spelling standards and the decline of society. When the public at large no longer thinks it necessary to spell correctly, they seem no longer to care to...

Trader666, this case is way beyond my ken. I only daytrade to assuage the boredom of listening to my snivelling patients, and I am happy to make 20 bucks a day. To address pampering issues of the unimaginably rich, I must bring in Dr. Duref Mudgins. He has been in practice longer than me.

Oh, no I didn't. No wonder they look so perfect. I never do anything manually. I run stoplights on all my analyses so I don't even have to interpret. Many times I don't even chart the analysis curves.

Where are all today's posts in Technical Strategy? Surely they aren't too busy trading?

Il n'y'a pas de quoi!

Trader666, thank you for your kind invitation. I have not posted on ET seit langer seit, such an unpleasant place! But par hasard I was visiting my good friend Sockie when you invoked me. For free you get the short analysis, more will cost you an edge. Wir haben hier a peculiar case of...

Also often I am asked "Why should we believe you over JacK? What are your qualifications relative to his?" I answer, Jack went to a Polytechnic University (Rensselaer). I graduated from a pyrotechnic college. I was in federal service in the Johnson administration, long before Jack became...

Often I am asked to explain TDT. Binary decision theory is yes or no. Ternary decision theory is yes/no/maybe. SCT is just maybe. Soon I will reveal Quarternary Decision Theory, quantifying the well-known but heretofore ill-defined state "I have no fucking clue what is going on!"

Obviously I am bigger on ET than Jack, with 1000 views for every post on this thread!

Of COURSE I am chit-chatting! You wanted something for free? Go back to Jack. Well, SCT is ALMOST free. Trade it and see what it costs you. In fact, this was a polemic, not idle chatter. Or perhaps a polemico-tiradical morality play. But my main assertion stands: if you REALLY have an...
