Here's one guideline I recall reading for a 14 period ADX. Remember, it's just a guideline; if trading were this simple we'd all have taken each other's money long ago. That being said, I'm looking to get yours. Really. :p Never forget that. So take this with a grain of salt, as with...

Ah, okay. We're on the same page now and I agree with you. The Turtles did a breakout on a single MA. And there are other good systems in which a MA crossover (or other trend signaling method) on a smaller timeframe is used to trigger entry in the same direction as a larger timeframe's trend...

Hey, but that's a question I can answer! Iraq has a total land and water area of 437,072 square kilometers. :D :D :D But seriously, overload, the terms "how much" and "should" are in the province of value judgments, so it's very difficult for anyone to answer for anyone else. When...

Oh, and no, it's not subliminal at all. You're fully aware of the suggestions. It's as-is, there's nothing hidden, or going on in the background. It doesn't use an Ericksonian Method, either (where attention is split between two disparate dialogues, usually stories unrelated to the goal, a...

I guess the term is "guided meditation" but hypnosis is probably just as accurate, albeit "old school." Each module begins with a 2-3 minute relaxation induction phase (eyes closed), followed by powerful suggestions and insights that themselves (as in my case) can trigger some fairly...

None taken, bro. :) And I see where the minor disconnect occurred. By metaphysics, I was merely referring to what we study as real, i.e. existing apart from human creation. Mysticism, and the various belief systems that project from its definitions of reality, are a subset of the study...

Sure it is. Not identical, of course, which is why I used the word "similar." Because both... 1. Use a simple trend following TA. 2. Limit bet size. 3. Add bets as the market moves in the trade's favor. 4. Have strict exit rules, including those limiting losses. 5. Incorporate the...

Ya know, there's something else... this clown is lucky he got 0 (zero) bids by expiration. Someone with $200K to drop like that will probably have the means to drop this guy into a hole when the "system" doesn't pay off. I don't think it would matter how many PayPal accounts he tries to hide...

Gee whiz :eek: I'd pay him :) almost that much :p for the cool looking globe graphic. :D

Yah, not to impugn The Turtles (who have documented success) but I always have laughed at that (unrelated) joke that starts out, "Want to make a million dollars? Fine. First, get a million dollars in capital for step 2. Next, ..." :D

Well, don't beat me up for perhaps breaking one of your rules (we don't talk to Fight Club... or is it that we don't talk about Fight Club? I forgot.) :p ... ...but in what way is my observation that each of our lives is finite (as a physical organism having a beginning and an end in which...

I'm curious, blackguard, in what way do you see it as "wrong?" On its face, it seems to me a metaphysical fact that we live only once. But maybe you were writing metaphorically?

I dunno. I suppose some people might be swayed. Since it's only a hypothetical, there isn't much chance of it ever happening. However (given as traders we deal in probabilities) there is an outstanding chance, by comparison, that one's wife or kid might stumble onto an answer that was "Yes"...

This seems similar, with historically proven results. http://www.originalturtles.org/system.htm

Greed is a tough one. What Dr. Russell A. Lockhart (ral) recommends is simply (as has been written already on this thread) to have your exits (stops and profits) planned upon entry. When either is hit, move on to scouting for the next opportunity, and don't look back unless you need to learn...

Yes, because I've never been that rich and I think the experience would be interesting. But hear me out. The one commonality in my life that generated "a past," that had built "a family," and that had attracted a particular set of "friends" would remain with me. And that is ME. So, I...

Good post. I've often had discussions with folks re: the differences between traditional gambling and trading. What seems to turn most around is what you cite: That we can pick entries AND exits to mitigate risk, as well as vary bet size even while play is unfolding. The claim that it's...

I have to agree. I've never found anything deeper than best bid/ask on the ES to be of any significance that I could use. I don't look at depth anymore; instead I focus solely on charts.

I've used it constantly now for several months and find it very useful. One of the best insights I got from it came about in a very unusual way. From time to time, I'd find I would hesitate in taking a trade--I was looking for added confirmation that I was "right" and, of course, by the time I...

Hey thanks, Michael. I've always checked monthly for new video and BIOS device drivers for my computers but I've never thought to check for upgrades to my router. Duh. Good job! :)
