Are you referring to the theoretically boundless Greek shepherd circle-jerk? Or to the other hand-job numerical calculations recommended above?

Your observation about sensory status rings true in the context of Jack's public communications. (BTW, he does not teach "with an open hand." Only the inside circle gets the straight scoop.) Jack is a student of NLP, to what extent I am not sure, he is certainly capable of delivering a...

I do not believe that Jack lies outright. I think he exaggerates outrageously sometimes. For example, when he says he is about to publish a book, that means that you can get from him a PDF of a wide-margined double-spaced twelve point font 100 page pamphlet with hand-drawn illustrations. De...

Many times have I offered to be Jack's amanuensis, to be Boswell to his Johnson. He clearly needs it, no offense intended to him. What he is saying, I think, is that trading is Boolean. Jack is first and foremost an engineer. It is like being born a pig. You can't change it. I am not certain of...

Note that I didn't assert that everything he writes is true, only that some few small details are verifiable. Suppose I told you that I graduated summa cum laude from university nearly five decades ago? How would you ever verify that today? His book? There used to be much more information on...

Not really. In his post to you he spoke of only a part of what he teaches to those of like mind. His work is multidimensional and in some cases exceedingly subtle. Let me teach you a new English word: heuristic. Jack is heuristic. And I am sure laughing so hard he has to take a piss from my...

You have a rare opportunity here to be mentored by him if you can be respectful and follow the bouncing ball. So I will shut up and let him recount it his way. I don't know if he wants to share at all, or if so, to start with stock swing trading or futures daytrading.

Well, Jack does exaggerate, but what old man does not remember his life as larger that it may have been? Think of the film "Big Fish." Were I to recount my own life you would surely call me a liar, too. We lived in interesting times. If you were Jack's neighbor he would be perfectly real to...

You think Jack is incoherent because you don't understand him. You have to form a gestalt of him over many years to "get it." His every post contains random pieces of the jigsa puzzle that is Jack. Certainly he redefined some common terms in TA to suit himself, but he also created many novel and...

Let me give you a little history on Jack to save you from digging. Jack recived a BS in Electrical Engineering from Rensellaer Poly and went straight to work at Bell Labs. A very prestigious path at that time. He has a unique perspective on the markets and technical analysis because he started...

The mathematical symbol for the first derivative. Jack is saying that the market is totally event driven, so all that counts is the market's incrememntal response to an event, hence "first derivative of a market measure with respect to event occurrence."

Credo, ergo sum.

Pay close attention to what Jack writes. Certainly you won't learn nothing. Over the course of ten years, I learned a great deal from carefully considering and investigating what Jack said.

Rich is a matter of initial capital, risk taking, and the ability to scale. A decent living can be made without expecting too much of any of the above. Besides, compared to someone living in a dirt-floored reed shack in Outer Bumfuckistan, I am rich. Me could feed many Bumfuckistani wives, I!

No, but my English is good.

Bullshit! Boolean al-jabr is simply "yes" or "no." Is price trending? Yes, then trend trade. No, then chop trade. Is price moving on increasing volume? Yes, get in. No, get out. Is the FOMC report about to come out? Yes, close all positions. No, safe to stay in.

I define TA as "Any computation on the tape which can be perfomed by a nine-year-old adept asian algorismic abacist." Attached is a neutered extract from my one-minute entry system for NQ. Each of the two studies is a wholly independent, stunningly brilliant, utterly un-reverse-engineerable, and...

You know, I am so fucking drunk on cheap Llano County wines that your post made eminent effluent good sense to me. I am voting with you, just guide my finger to the right button.

I believe that there is fetal flaw in your business model. Ass-piring traders do not want to pay for trading humor. And why should they, since they can get it here for free? I once approached TradersExpo asking for a slot for a free seminar titled "Professor Joe Doaks' TA for the New Millenium."...

Funny you should ask about VWAP. I almost shit my pants reading the posts in current VWAP thread. VWAP is most simply defined as "the average price of every individual share or contract traded during the specified period." As to volume and price, both sides are right. Sometimes price spawns...
