Mr. Neck, my thanks for your civility. Regarding bracket entries, I have no clue as I never use them. My back testing of breakouts suggests that no bracket is reliably profitable, as of course it can't be, or everyone would get rich using it. And we can't have that. Continuing on to "always on...

Thank you, Tonbo-Tohbo, for your explanation. My issue with EMAs intraday is that I could pick a period at random, and over time notice that price sometimes bounced off of it reliably, and sometimes subsequently crossed it again. I would then say either "The X EMA touch held" or "The X EMA touch...

Yes, thanks, I didn't know GLD, as I follow only spot for purposes of investing in bullion coins and bars. And occasionally look at GC. I encourage you to think hard about whether or not TA is applicable to the price of gold. Like if the chart looks the same in euros as in dollars. Or what it...

Have you traded other instruments before?

Ah, so, the commodities. I have no experience except in the eating of them. And I doubt that what modest experience I have elsewhere is of value to you.

Ah, so Mr. Zones has a champion in Mr. Neck. Let us address "always in the market." Procedurally, you will agree, this is easy to do. I assume that you question whether one can actually make money that way. Clearly on a timescale of months, one can, reversing at bubble blowoffs on the upside and...

The Rentenmark provides an excellent example of currency collateralization sans precious metals. Go there now or perforce go there after hyperinflation.

And what is it that you trade from onboard your yacht?

Ah, Ms. NoDoji, that being the case I shall confer on you the diminutive Tonbo-Tohbo, they being the blowout dojis you like to trade so much. Would you be willing to engage in a dialogue with a novice trader, at times that do not interfere with our trading? I would start by asking how for ES you...

Mr. Doji, or Mr. No, as the case may be, I notice much posting on your thread, suggestive of trading wisdom to be found. After a quick read of your recent posts, it seems to me that you are contratrend trading, shorting double tops, blowout highs, etc. Is that a valid generalization? Kala...

In truth, the photo of the alleged victim (though it sounds to me like he enjoyed it), looked like a pussy who deserved to be abused. It was, after all, an internship. We here in America understand how that works, from Congress to the White House. Just business as usual, the customary...

Andrew, that allusion to tacking against the wind was so profound! As soon as I forget that you said it I will take credit for it as my own when working with my trading mentees.

Mr. Mephisto, Jr., I must disagree with your opinion of putting the markets in a box. Darvas did so nicely, if you get the increasingly obscure reference. Mele Kalikimaka.

Andrew, in my observation the only value of the floor pivot, and that is erratic, is to identify the overnight down retrace after an up day, and the overnight up retrace after a down day. As spreads are becoming better in the overnight sessions, it is becoming more feasible to trade them. I say...

You gold detractors miss the point. Robust stores of wealth have always required rarity. That is why a virtuous woman is worth any price. We are now in the era of Peak Gold. Increasingly, as in antiquity, gold intended as a store of wealth is being fashioned into works of art, as in the case of...

Oh, good, your prenom is Andrew, not Andre, so you are indeed Mr. Again, not Mr. Wagain, I was worried about that. You are a hard person to fool, of course the selection of time frames is important in the calculation of the floor pivot. Whilst most use the main session, there is much to be...

Sadly left unsaid was whether or not deciding to give or not to give a blowjob was a profitable trade entry rule. Perhaps there is an idea here for Puretick.

Mr. Again, in the spirit of the sharing you seek, I will share my floor pivot formula, the only one of all the other putative candidates which in my experience works. It is the mean value of the low, close and high of the previous bar. Commutativity is crucial here, so be sure to make the...

Try me, Mr. Zones. Pick any element of Mr. Hershey's teachings which you disagree with, be it characterological, theoretical, or epistemological, and I will be happy to debate it with you dispassionately, sans drooling. My suggestion for starters would be to debate the proposition, "Resolved...

Very good, Mr. Again. Fill the chart with a sufficient number of possible support and resistance levels and you return to discretionary trading because price is liable to reverse anywhere. And just to be clear, it is possible to have a valid secret or secrets and still be a non-professional. If...
