"I am travelling tomorrow and can't trade. So it will be a wide range day. The fact that limit order traders consistently wanted to sell to you today more than they wanted to buy portends ill for the bulls." What more do you WANT, ET? My travel schedule? Clearly not my indicators. Can't even...

The reason I get down in the weeds is that certainty increases there because of unavoidable cyclicality. Were I a masochist I could conceiveably trade floor rotations.

Regarding time frame, I really DID try to get into the five-minute SCT thing. But I suffered extreme anxiety not being able to see inside an opaque bar. For example, my longest trade today was eight minutes. Kinda hard to enter and exit that duration of trade using a five-minute chart. I REALLY...

Since you have been so kind to a demented old man (presumably because you have had so much practice across his kitchen table), I will share with you my primary method for system development. I continually confabulate absurd trading ideas, code them, and present them to ET as foolishness. If ET...

Thank you for the correction. I thought your motto was "Don't sell America short!"

Traded four times. All high probability trades. One long and three shorts, reflecting my bearish bias. Doom. Gloom. Anxiety. Panic. Upsidedownness. Illiquidity. Foreclosure. Margin calls. Humiliation. Despair. Starvation. Sewercide. Pauper's grave. But fortunately there's never any shortage of...

Posted without comment, except to note that those trading SCT at the expert level will recognize the indicator's A/D implications for tomorrow's trading.

I regret that I misdescribed the color coding. I was looking at an older copy of the code from some days ago when I was still struggling with intuitively obvious presentation. It should have read: "colored lime when the sum is positive and red when the sum is negative". Of course no one noticed...

In recognition of the impact SCT has had on my profitability as a trader, I am pleased to offer this modest extension to the method. I have always had difficulty recognizing A/D, so after much research I developed the algorithm represented by the attachment. It is simply the running sum for each...

That's it? I would have thought the great genius traded something more complex.

More likely waiting for Roadrunner to realize he just ran off a cliff and is hanging in mid-air.

OK, this thread couldn't get any fucking dumber, so I'm going to do my best to kill it by soliciting such sustained and outrageous abuse that it gets Chit-Chatted like it so richly deserves. A few months ago on commission from our beloved Dr. Emil Kraepelin I designed a thoroughly mediocre...

Do the work, Jack.

I was the subject of much ridicule by the forces of anti-CO when I propounded an alternative vision of "volume leads price". At 11:40 PT today I was vindicated. See the green vertical line on the attachment.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply, but I am neither thinking nor trading on that scale. I am merely attempting to reverse the industrial revolution in the sense that I want to be my own little cottage industry, metaphorically cobbling a single pair of shoes each day. I have neither the time nor...

Allaces, I admire your style and trading ideas, but I have gotta disagree with ya on this one. All my life I have wanted a bigger dick. I could not have spent any more time trying to enlarge it without rubbing it all away. Eventually I gave up and started wishing for shorter women. That worked.

Jack, I DO appreciate your efforts to rehabilitate me, since my lifetime limit psych insurance benefits ran out decades ago. I read nearly everything you write, and even understand some of it, when you're not posting just to fuck with peoples' heads. But you forget that a good therapist learns...

Bearbelly, kindly do post anything that you think will facilitate civil discussion.

Psychology is not my thing, I leave that to Dr. Deco, but I cannot help but be struck by the bizarre behavior which results every time I start a thread like this. As an engineer and analyst, I know that to understand a complex dynamic structure which defies easy immediate analysis, you whang it...

Trading isn't simple, but traders are.
