The asstoot developer of simple trend following systems will cavil that I have had a run of luck these two days, and he would, of course, be right. But my point is that if you expect the average ETer's to be able to trade a system, it had better be shit-simple, because they are. I still await...

Indeed it does, and if traded via mobile PC, it allows you to hit a different bar every fifteen minutes throughout the day. Today's profit, stopping at 12:45 PT as I did today, was 10.75 NQ points, or 78% of the daily range. Not Hershean, but then, who in fact is?

225, I am out of the market going into the close, so I can afford a gracious pro bono reply. There are innumerable (that is to say, I don't know how many) benefits to this evolving system. First, to a generation of traders raised on the frenetic pace of SCT, it will come as a welcome...

Thank you, Nkhoi. It is gratifying to see that ET still cannot differentiate frivolity from seriousity. Stevie, you are missing the whole point. How will an Alzie react every time he snaps into lucidity and realizes that he's not trading any more, when he clearly remembers that activity from...

Der Schwannendreher, this thread is about the need simple minded traders have for simple systems. In the category of an allegory.

Thanks for those ideas, Infolode, and please accept my apology. I rarely intend specific offense, except in the special cases of those who deserve it, which ain't you. There is a core of truth in what I wrote, however, in that I am trying to develop a durable simple system which I can trade in...

225, re ADD, it is now called ADHD, but no, this system will not work for that. ADHD sufferers need to trade 20-40 times a day, for which SCT is the recommended solution.

225, it was publicly disclosed nearly 130 years ago. The system is called "Trend Following". Infolode, are you my son? Why shouldn't an Alzheimer's sufferer be able to trade? I plan to. I am in early stages now (can't remember names, forget I'm married), and my trading is no worse than it...

Not a few readers here (and you know who you are) currently trade in a mild state of pre-Alzheimer's confusion. No doubt they fear the ultimate inability to trade at all. Take heart. In association with my system designer Joe Doaks, I recently created a simple index futures trading system for a...

The no-brainer is much to be preferred.

Neither. Egotistic.

EOD is a tricky beast. In the case of NQ, it was hovering around the VWAP and a round number, so not much chance of a move. Posting on ET and harrassing the pompous is good practice for my retirement career of telling people the obvious.

Am off, all right, but to a mismanagement insultant contract that will keep me out of the market for five weeks. Cold turkey on the meds and on trading. P.S.: Try to confine your s/s to your girlfriend stretching it, then squeezing it.

Indeed, Thunderdog. And the worst part of it is that serious analysts like Joe Doaks and N.Q. Enqueue cannot get an honest hearing here because they don't toe the SCT line. I know from PMs that N.Q. will not post his Confabulator results any more. And now that Joe Doaks has proof positive that V...

Doug, was Pink Floyd climbing "The Wall" of worry?

Thunderdog, tired of harrassing "you-know-who"? Over here we say, if you cain't likkem, jine 'em! So we are espousing our own bogus systems, one daily and one intraday. Great fun!

Iff'n they'uz Texians, ah mought, but they be Yankees! I covered at 2:07TT, got tard 'a waitin' fer the syssum ta mekkup iss mind. And who says CNBS is wuthless? Erin Burnett shorely is purty!

Well, in fact our entry followed an FTT (which we assiduosly ignore as a matter of principle), a failed test of the LOD, a perfectly formed volme peak, a higher low (forming an inverted head and shoulders), breaking the previous high, and breaking every conceivable MA. We are very hardheaded. Or...

Opie, E-Signal sells a subscription to CME level 2, but to the best of my knowledge it is not accessible to coding. For some reason I thought you were an IB customer. IB has DOM for free in a very clean presentation. Considering the utility of DOM, free is the appropriate price.

Also, I have a challenge for Jack. He touts 3X the daily range. Today, I issue this challenge to him: make 8X the indicated system profit by second guessing it. Which is what I did today with my system (this may be funny, but it is not a joke).
