Thoughtful of you to announce the final release of 11.4 here but not to subscribers.

Primitive man ate much more raw pussy than we do.

Is it still gambling, and do you still need help, if you routinely win? I tell all my patients that if they always get off, their sex is not compulsive.

Thanks. If I get longer-running examples I may post, assuming I wake up alive. I invented the boredom metric precisely for the case you mentioned where traders are lulled to sleep before a big move, but haven't had a case of that in these two days.

The boredom metric is not derived from volume, but it does roughly inversely mirror volume, sometimes leading, sometimes lagging. My impression of it so far is that it is superior as a predictor to Jack Hershey's PV Relation. Attached is a chart snippet showing that boredom may lead or lag...

Here is an example of how decline in the boredom metric indicated traders' belief in the associated price rise.

Yes, but watching a fast chart might keep them from choking on sleep apnea in the meantime.

Attached is a clear example of the utility of the boredom metric. Price is rising modestly, but boredom increases, suggesting disbelief, or skepticism, or disinterest, or knowing better. Price reverses and boredom decreases.

The approach you describe is for highly intelligent traders, not for those reading this. But even with my own limited intellectual horsepower I do watch the correlation du jour, 6E. As my boredom grows, I think I see NQ driving 6E, not the other way around. When that happens, I go in the back...

And ideally it is the woman who has fallen into a state of drunken exhausted unconsciousness. I have to trade tomorrow.

I suggest that you develop your own personalized boredom metric, because mine measures the mean boredom of the ensemble of bored traders. So far in my attempts to rationalize the utility of my new invention, I have found that there is a somewhat fuzzy maximum value of boredom attained during the...

Is the chart merely a(u,r)tistic or does it mean something?

My reasons for posting are purely eleemosynary. ET has pegged my dual dumb/dull-ometers for several months running now. It is low time for some high intellectual content. Hence my sharing of the boredom metric. You can see from this little chart snippet of the hour before the close that market...

I can relate. My goal is to invent a new system every day. Being an elderly alcoholic, I have mastered the art of dozing while trading. When overhelmed by ennui, I shift from my trading desk chair to a comfy recliner nearby from which my 23 inch screen is still nominally readable. Obnoxious...

Indeed volume is funny. Like when price moves on invisible volume and volume moves on invisible price change.

Well, back in the day, what made work not so boring was jiving with the young secretaries, that was before computers when the secretaries were the computers. And trying to get to work and function, barely unstoned. And fucking in the copulatious warehouse spaces after lunch. Ah, the 60's and...

We are all familiar with it. Some of the more paranoid among us believe the chart is manipulated to put us to sleep or cause us to abandon the screen just before a big move. "I just need to close my eyes for a minute." "I wonder has stocksandbondage.com updated for today?" "Has the stripper...

We have long periods of sanity where we have no desire to read him. But we always keep a pack of cigarettes in the sock drawer, just in case.

Yes, being a engineer by edification I bought Hurst's little monograph 25 or so years ago and wasted far too much of my meagre intellectual horsepower on transform analysis, which back then was a non-trivial exercise computationally. Using EOD data, every solution I found rapidly diverged from...

How did it work out with that French sculptor, BTW? I always wondered if you made the right choice about the other one. Hot relationships always got ME into trouble.
