Since you brought up simplicity, trading really only requires one skill: the ability to decide if the reversal which is in progress NOW has the legs to be profitable in your trading time frame, be that seconds (like me), or retirement. That is what all TA is about. And it is truly amazing how...

Hmmm. I didn't read it because Jack recommended it. Thanks, I'll take a peek. I only have on my charts what I have observed consistently for years. Which is a bunch, there being a lot of voodoo out there. We all know that everything works some of the time and nothing works all of the time, so...

Pour continuer, were I an SCT trader, I would take what seems to be the toughest challenge, detecting YM leading ES, and automate it with two audibles. Surely staring at those one-second charts looking for ephemera all day must be tiring. Perhaps much like the frustration of a snipe hunt...

Easy-Signal has a .wav file with laughter. You have motivated me to use it. Perhaps when ALL of my codes disagree with each other.

Now I wish to use my fond recollections of early SCT writings as an example of the need to transition some trading information from the visual sphere to the auditory cube. I currently enjoy early-onset Alzheimer's, so bear with me on the details. As we say in Texas, "If it ain't true, it oughta...

Grinder was the brains of the operation, Bandler was just a huckster. Don't forget which was the mathemagician. And in the spirit of ecumenicism, let me state that like my countryman LBJ, whose campaign motto in NYC was "Little Bit Jewish", so am I. By way of a desperate Cherokee of the Lost Tribe.

Kid, thanks a million for posting. Been trading NQ for years and never seen anything like it! Just remember that there is life after youth and don't be in a BFH. The markets will always be there. Young willing pussy will not. Trust an old man on this.

If I might be allowed to continue, as I said, we begin to develop visual chart overload when we recognize the need for an adjunct to pure unfiltered price to ascertain whether this or that reversal has the legs to make a profitable trade. We learn that necessity either by testing or the hard...

Sum of Sam, Jack also advocates hand charting. You'll be finished with today's one minute chart just in time to start trading tomorrrow morning. Your comment hearkens back to my youth, when I gained precious kinesthetic understanding of base 10 logarithms while whipping my sliderule back and...

Joab, I can readily understand why you needed years of NLP training to achieve your limited understanding. Wash your hog and keep the wash. And never forget that the Bible was written by semites indistinguishable from today's ragheads.

Janed, thank you for exemplifying the non-verbal perceptor. It is my privilege to teach you how to spell "tactile". But I do agree with you that mouse activity provides kinesthetic feedback. The simple necessity to rescale or recenter the chart is proof of market motion.

Oddi, for ET's benefit it should also let you start with $5 and be scalable without loss of profitability up to $2K.

Cun't say. But I do know that ATT's BW varies all over the map depending on where you are. From zero to blazing. In Dallas, smokin'. But go to the Beach Cities of LA, and it sucks. Or in Cuntsville, places like that where you'd expect it to work.

ATT's SW sucks. If you have a Sierra card, download their SW.

Cokie, '04 was an incredibly productive year with such a large software development team.

Doli, those are very astute observations. That is why I trade with the largest monitor solid angular subtense I can absorb without excessive eye and head motion. What you said also relates to the necessity for solid situational awareness of the shape of the full day and of the month past.

Thank you for sharing your experiences. Let me offer an explanation which is highly personal, but which may resonate with others. My education started early in a technical direction, and culminated at university in many courses requiring elaborate visualization capability: three dimensional...

Thank you kindly. I am confident that at least sixteen of the usual detractors will not interfere. I will draw from my memory of Jack's early SCT posts here for examples of the visual approach to trading, as a prime example of the the ways in which auditory processing can lighten the perceptual...

Nearly four decades ago I was a minor professional expert in psychophysics of the visual kind. So I bring to trading an acute awareness of the ways in which perception can limit one's maturation as a trader. This issue is underaddressed on ET IMO, with the exception of a few dialogues (nay...

"France welcomes, appeases Lybia's Gaddafi" If poor TorontoTrader2 thinks that's where "Lybia" is, where does he think "Labia" are?
