For complete driveling fucks like you. (Champion thought better of his post calling my thread "complete fucking drivel" and deleted it.) I wish I could delete the whole thread, but here we are.

The geriatric set has complained that we are not using floor pivots. Voila the attached system "Pivoting".

But shouldn't we be using that meaningless guestimator we developed by eyeball? The system "AboveBelowGuestimator" is attached.

Thanks for all the comments. Disintegrating them all, we add another measure of "up", a higher high, and similarly for "down". The 'HigherHighLowerLow" system is attached.

But wait! Up or down might be defined as the close higher than the open within the bar, and vice-versa. Hence the attached adjunct system called "GreenBarRedBar", note the differences from higher or lower close.

Alas, I cannot remember KAMA because I recently immolated my copy of Kaufman to start a fire in the fireplace.

Spydertrader is right. We must define up and down for the visually and arithmetically challenged. Armed as we are with a chart which engenders a sense of understanding without actually conveying any, we may now proceed to develop systems. I use the stoplight representation because purveyors...

Thank you, Spydertrader. Together ET's greatest minds will devise a system even ET can trade. I am reminded of the refrain from a song in "Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum": Something for everyone, a comedy tonight!

No self-respecting chart is complete without a price guestimator. Simple traders use simple moving averages. Exponential traders use exponential moving averages. I myself use the NMA (Non-moving average, amply documented here) because I am a slug. Without attribution explanation or even...

Attached is a chart showing unchanged bars as blue. Rather than coloring them as most charting services do. My apologies for the errors. But I am gratified that you are all with me.

Ian, the blue candle is an artifact of my adaptation for this exercise of the system I actually trade with, as opposed to what I will reveal here. Blue signifies unchanged, close equals open. The blue bar wasn't really unchanged, rather it was an artifact of a data reload after a disconnect. God...

Thunderdog, I am humbled. I will strive to incorporate GWB principles into my system. That is not a problem, as I am making this up as I go.

Thank you, Spydertrader, for the correction. The revised base chart is attached. Most people don't look that closely at my charts. I have raided my grandchildren's crayola boxes for burnt umber and olive drab for a subsequent lesson.

Next we must decide if we want to chart volume. I personally think that it is nearly useless, but ET is so thoroughly conditioned to believe otherwise that not to chart volume would detract from my already threadbare credibility. Thus we only need decide on the colors of volume. I mean, if...

If they "got it", where did they "catch it"? Thanks to you both for your support. I look forward to the revelation of GWB.

A system is only as good as its chart. And if we are going to break the bonds of the hoary past, we must chart anew. The first decision is deciding whether or not to chart price. There are those who say that volume leads price, implying that all we need to do to forecast price is to crayola...

Thank you, Maestoso! You have been a role model for me over the years. Your reinvention of yourself has been an inspiration to me. And I know that I shall never even begin to approach your facility as an inventor of new ways to look at the market. To this day I wake up at night in a cold sweat...

ET knows me primarily as a developer of neo-ante-post-modernist trading indicators. As such I have the disctinction of revealing more new indicators to ET in the past few years than any other serious poster here. Less well known is that I am a private developer of trading systems for...

Calling my system "Profitalia Marginalis" sounds suspiciously like it was inspired by Havelock Ellis' "Psychopathia Sexualis", but no matter. The system is an excellent choice because it uses only two rules and one constant, about as simple as a system can get. Therefore let me emphasize again...

I will begin with what I consider to be the central issue of trading systems: complexity. I don't really care if a system works or not, but I do require that it be simple. A simple system at least distinguishes itself from a complex system in that you can clearly discern whether or not it works...
