Sorry, I don't know the source of the systems you refer to. Do you know their rules so you can make such a determination?

DT, speaking of a waste of time, why are you even dialogueing with (justifiably) anonymous posters on ET? Don't you know who most of us are? Nobodies. Misfits. Liars. Delusional. Homebound. Nothing better to do. Nothing to offer. Like you, I'll make a wild-assed guess. Certainly no one here is...

Then why waste your time on them? Time that you could spend observing markets and devloping your own systems.

I can only assume that they aren't making that much and the leasing fees represent significant income to them. Or maybe they are just scammers, frontrunning their calls. I have never looked into that part of the trading industry deeply. Over the years I have met casually a few people who did...

There is a possible (f): they are successful developers who are selling their weakest performing systems. Winton's returns on futures trading are notable only for their achievement relative to the total capital under management. A small independent futures trader with modest capitalization...

Go to their website and read the history. They could not have grown from their startup capital to their present size on their rate of return. Hence OPM.

Chartered CTA's? What a joke. All they are taught and certified on is what is in books. Like Achelis' "Technical Analysis from A to Z." A robust working system is more precious than the legendary Philosopher's Stone which turned lead into gold. For that is precisely what it does. Seek such...

Those books may still be on my shelf, I will check and get back to you. I encourage you as a fellow devotee of Eastern religions to reconsider your dogmatic, perhaps even cowmatic, position on mechanical systems. I can assure you that working systems exist which are robust over long time frames...

DT - I just remembered from reading Vipassana texts over 40 years ago that a D.T Waw was a prominent Burmese practitioner, teacher and author. Did you name yourself after him? - Art

BrokenEnglish, you are now on ignore. Want to be taken seriously? Try not to be such a dumb fuck.

Picy, picy! I am desperately seeking triosgenation. It occurred to me that it might be inspired by the Estonian composer Arvo Part's piece "Trisagion." Or perhaps it is a congenial congener in champage. Perhaps a recreational chymist could tell me.

Every response you post to me should be with drawl, so I can realate. I, myself, quit buying and selling POT 38 years ago when Grace Slick famously announced that she was giving up that perilust buying-and-selling addiction for the more reliable addiction to champage. Isn't that what Clapton...

You'll have to help me here, sweetie. Are you reefering to the Latin "alea?" And if so, to which daffynition? It is happy hour somewhere, if not here, and I have already started. If not the Latin alea, then I am 54 years out of date, as I lernt Latin and al-jabr and girls at twelve, and not much...

Penurious? I wish I were! I haven't a penury to my name! In retrospect, that is probably how I came to this sad pass: "In for a penury, in for a pound." Breath in sympatico? It feels more like my desperate attempts to oxygenate with deep breaths to keep from puking when I fall out of bed...

This morning's breakout reminds me of an inservation I meant to make last night. Unfortunately I became incapassitated and my insight was almost lost forever. Most novice traders are well aware from the literature and from certain highly disreputable ET sources that midday congestions often take...

Just FYI, Ijnood, a sinuous long triosgenation occurred at 10:08 ET today. Without the help of the aleatoric selector, I must add, not entirely disinsinuously. That it occurred on the breakout of the previous high is entirely irrelevant.

Brazil makes better guns for the US export market, but the Argies make 'em cheaper.

What you preceive as my vapid degeneration is not a levitous subject. I am in fact fading fast. So fast that I cannot unravel mammograms as fast as I used to. Care to help me? I am sure they are clever. It took all of my waning brainpower today to see that triosgenation was already on my screen...
