    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Let me put this into perspective. Run the numbers. Say you have $250K in cash in a 401K earning 2.5%. You can make that with six NQ ticks a day after commish, which is ALMOST trivially easy. But 3X the daily range it ain't, so ET sneers. It buys one good bottle of California champagne a day. And...

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Now there is the smartest question I have read on ET in years. No TA, Nuevo or otherwise, means shit. Persistence is what counts, and NO price history can predict that. It's a fucking time series! Ask the dinosaurs how reliable history is. I have other tools to predict persistence that tell me...

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Ehorn, if you search on everything posted by Joe Doaks, John Merchant, Emil Kraepelin, Rahula Gautama, N.Q. Enqueue, Duref Mudgins and myself for as far back as they go, all will be re-vealed. In all modesty I must give full credit to the midgets of trading on whose slumped shoulders I stand...

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Want to know if you should have some international exposure in your 401K? But there's no volume? No DOM. No intraday data. No nothing but pure scary EOD price? Oh, my! Does $DJX lead or lag GTIIX?

    Taking the long view, when should you have started buying gold? I started at $280.

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Tums, that's because it's small on my screen layout. Stoplight doesn't take much brains. Not nearly as much as SCT, haha!

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Ah! Then I shall make Tums my first SCT convert! Tums, don't you ever get tired of watching all that esoteric shit? When you could be watching my exoteric shit? No DOM. No volume interpretation. No this-leads-that, but sometimes that-leads-this. No pace. No agonizing 1-2-3 decisions. Nothing to...

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Whoa! Who made this a thread? I was just trying to hair-ass Jack! How can I teach him anything new if he can't see me? SCT is an old trick that needs new dogs.

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT vs Arthur Deco TDT

    Jack, if you could make SCT as simple as TDT, everyone would use it. No MADA no matta! No worksheets! No drills! Oh, what we could do with my analysis and your marketing skills! We would be the kings of late night infomercial TV! The day you make SCT this simple is the day you achieve your...

    Minutes of the latest PPT Meeting

    I had to give up my certain knowledge of "what women want" to my sleazy informant at Treasury to get and share with you this astonishing dialogue: Bush: This session of the PPT is now called to order. Mr. Secretary? Paulson: Mr. President, the markets are tanking like we haven't seen since...

    The New Psychology of Trading

    Hola, Nao Temer! I don't come here much any more, like the French say, it makes my teeth hurt. But, wow, the ratings are stunning! I love that new feature! I would like to trade "with no stop needed". Can you do that for me? Stops are such a nuisance! A truly clever trader should not need them.

    A New Untechnical Unalysis

    No sense of humor, that crowd. His earliest postings here even had a mo-mo indicator (I forget which one) under the stoch.

    Hypo do you have any family, what will you do with knowledge

    You wanna see what the velocity of trades popping off at the bid or ask is at the tick rate? Got it! Useful? Fuck me NO! I have not even begun to confuse ET with beguiling but ultimately worthless trading indicators.

    A New Untechnical Unalysis

    Re looking like MACD, it could be unything. It's in the osculator family. And osculators all make SCT traders feel superior that THEY snagged the trade earlier. Cynics will remember that Jack started out using a home grown stoch as part of SCT. But that's all about to age out with the new three...

    The Compleat Gentleman Trader

    We took a vote and are split 7-9 on whether we are pleased by your praise or not. Now to stops. Like all my gentleman trader exercises, this one has an unexpected benefit. Or two. Let us say that we are letting instinct be our guide in "discretionary" trading. Following Mamis, this means that...

    The Compleat Gentleman Trader

    I told you I was not a singleton. So here is a tip for the gentleman trader of leisure not actively trying to make money, or perhaps even avoiding it for the sheer sport. Like letting the wild hog get close before you cut loose. When you aren't trying to make money, you can try different...
