Dr. Deco, do you have a trader self-assessment quiz similar to the one here: http://www.tradersstateofmind.com/questionnaire.html I am concerned that you won't know how to help me if you don't know what my problems are.

I believe that you can teach me how to backtest in a day, but how will you teach me to overcome my fears and take the system signals?

Dr. Deco, I see over here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=214607 an offer to teach me to be a better trader by overcoming my fears and taming my impulses. What do you think?

Dr. Deco, do you remember me? I was one of your students at the Collin County Community College? The new "Course on Intercourse?" Where all you have to do is come? Anyway, we found we share a common interest in trading, and you were explaining some things to me that were new? Like the Fibonacci...

Anybody wanna guess the next question? "Has anyone used XYZ theory in trading?" I vote for XYZ = "quantum chromodynamic theory." Feel free to contribute your own guesses.

Same answer we gave to your question about DSP ("Digital Signal processing in trading?"), putz! You need to put a little communication theory to work and read the trading classics. It ain't changed since the first ideas were committed to print over a century ago. Everything has long since been...

The whole cast is snickering that Miss Price got drunk and slept with the entire Bollinger Band!

NQ closed the RMH session 4 ticks away from the midpoint. Feel free to consult me any time.

If you aren't an abecedarian trader, the thread isn't meant for you. I'm sure you can recognize a flag without any geometric or goniometric help.

Q.E.D.

I am going to open my big mouth and offer that all my market internals indicators say it ends as a narrow range day with the close near the midpoint.

I have a rule that I always stick to my rules.

If trading is like anything it is like a con game.

Lesson One: Sometimes you do things right, and sometimes you do things wrong, and when right is wrong, wrong is right. Consider trend lines. Most technical analysis books written after 1940 advise you to draw the trend line under an uptrend and above a downtrend. But sometimes interesting...

The system netted 30.39 NQ points today. Channels, volume, and Gaussians not shown for clarity. Times Pacific.
