Ding-dong! Rooty-toot! Bells and whistles! What we WANT is fully-automated trading through IB. Not more damn functionality that will probably slow down our scripts. And I didn't see the magic words "Your old page layouts will still work with this new bullshit. Nor did we screw anything up, like...

Price goes to distribution.

Trading index futures? A piece of quiche!

Because all women fake it.

After many temptations to put you on ignore, this thread finally provoked me. Bye bye!

One wonders if he can't even get something as simple as the damned date right if he gets anything else right. And he fails the Deco credibility test: if your grammar clearly sucks, all of your ideas probably suck.

He is a flatulent freeloading fraud, like me. But you are right that he is an Aristotelian. He never lets facts get in the way of his theorizing.

Hahahahaha! Many times have I had similar conversations with my coder, Joe Doaks. Eventually he built up tens of thousands of lines of code quantifying all of my delusions. Occasionally I will rag his old ass by asking something like "Would you please hack me out code taking a long at the open...

I think that's my cue to hesh up. In my next life I am going to be a hermit on a mountain top.

Well, shit, I don't know him poisonally, I'm just lining between the reads. But as to altruism, perhaps he can afford to be generous because he knows he hasn't much competition. We all eventually find our little trading niches, like a toad in a mudhole. We watch cautiously with only eyes exposed...

In my practice when I see an adjective or adverb I want to know the underlying quantification. The use of quantifiers without quantification suggests that the writer doesn't know the facts. Not to pick on you specifically, but pontifically, you used the non-quantified words: best, strong...

I think you're wrong about NoNudgie, as well. I think she trades, albeit badly. My belief is that eventually all real traders realize that they need to codify and backtest. So if they never talk about backtesting, and especially about the heavy shit involved therein, they are suspect.

RedNeck is the real deal. He's from Texas. And we don't lie. Much. Well, only when we're bragging. The only way to tell if someone really trades is if they comment on events so subtle that only a real trader would observe them. Bingo on Jack, though. He reveals the opposite. Says things that are...

If that is true, how do you explain my success making linear income trading?

Thank you for your kind offer to dialogue privately. But I am intensely socially phobic. I suppose today they call it "avoidant personality." In my day we just said shy, or reticent or reclusive. Hermetic comes closest. I get panic attacks from even this distant interaction. Any closer would...

My compliments, Gifropan. I have been writing English for over 60 years and I can't always do as well. IMO the idea of a trigger separate from a setup is bullshit. A pretty concept. But so difficult to test as to be useless. Because it is two different events, one conditioned on the other. To...

With his dying breath Siddhatta Gotama gave this excellent advice to the world in general, but also to ET, I think. What it means is don't rely on gurus, on accepted wisdom, on the opinions of the masses. Especially on ET. Find the truth you seek your own way. Perhaps I am extra cranky from...

This is not a question for speculation. If your setup is unambiguous, then you can code and test it, find the sadistically optimal stop loss, and test re-entry after failure. Hower, my experience is that it is like premature ejaculation. Re-entry is usually inadvisable.

Unlike too many posters here, English is either your native language or you are damned good at it. Therefore, an answer is earned. This is not a logic problem. It is a statistical problem. If you can simply and unambiguously codify your detection of a trend, you can backtest to answer your...

Those skinny little bitches are udder failures. A REAL woman will keep you warm on a cold night. No heat? You want teat!
