    1 ES trade(daytrade) and get 1-3 points

    Seedy, your Jack imitation is slipping a bit. When you wrote "the premium is announced before the open", you were misremebering Jack's astonishing statement to the effect that "Fair value is announced before the open". As if either did not exist at any given time, albeit especially meaningless...

    1 ES trade(daytrade) and get 1-3 points

    "My thinking on the first entry is that you are in the trade to get the initial range expansion of the day and, therefore the first reversal is the bounce off the initial range expansion." Hmmmmm. You write as if that initial "range expansion" (curious term) occurs in a vacuum. Does it...

    Seedy, I didn't DECLINE to test your variant, I have already DONE it. Adding the reversal rule makes the system virtually untestable because of the complexity of optimizing two strong rules simultenuously. And, oh, BTW, you changed the first rule on my by making it a fifteen minute range BO...

    Thanks, Seedy. I'll let you test it. I'll stick to no-brainer NQ trades.

    1 ES trade(daytrade) and get 1-3 points

    Ah, would that it were so simple. The old "Fifteen Minute Range Breakout". Sad to say, you can pick ANY specific delay after the open, and the BO from it does not test with positive expectancy for ANY specific profit target without using a breathtaking stop, which typically exceeds the profit...

    whip saw action is severe-very tough

    Taken totally literally, the following question, sans question mark in the ora-ginal, is a fascinating study in the need for accuracy in trading advice: "What would it be like to slow down the scalping and just reverse on each turn of the markets." In my younger and less formative years, I...

    France welcomes, appeases Lybia's Gaddafi

    Are you sure about the spelling of "Lybia"? I thought it was "Labia".

    I definitely am buying fewer handbags because I cannot afford as many girlfriends.

    Sorry. I am not here. I don't post to C-C threads. Was it from CD23 or CD32?

    The Science of Technical Analysis

    T-DOGG, today has been a great day so far for identifying lack of follow-through. My system trade helper panes are a kaleidoscope of failure. And for watching Seiki Shimizu's Rule of Ten at work.

    Abnormal psychology and trading: Aspergers ADHD Schizophrenia

    Asperger's. MPD. Bipolar disorder. But not in all personalities. Early onset Alzheimer's. Again, not in all personalities. And a little OCD, but that's a good thing in a systematic trader. As is antisocial personality disorder, makes you a better shorter. Acute panic disorder keeps you in the...

    NO really, why are you here? Shut up and trade!

    With you, Mr. Grey. Got 40 gallons of gasoline and 120 pounds of propane in the shed. Two cords of wood on the driveway. Over 500 rounds each of 9mm, 357 mag, .362, 12 gauge and 22 longs. And of course the water. And my short list of chubby neighborhood children who will be first into the...

    The Science of Technical Analysis

    Ha, Boib! A great attitude about failed trades! I apologized to a TSA checker at DEN last week for my ugly photo ID. She winked and said "There are no bad pictures, only bad photographers!" I must defer to Jack to descibe that exercise, should he choose to do so. He may not use it any more...

    The Science of Technical Analysis

    "If I didn't have bad breath, I wouldn't have any breath at all."? I am staying out out of trouble today. Keeping JOe Doaks busy with futile algorithmic assignments. He in turn is keeping Rahula Gautama up late furiously coding in advance of receiving the requirments. I have so much resistance...
