    Well, then, that accounts for the two copies of his book that sold.

    Alan Farley in Dallas at AfTA on 4/19/11

    This is an incroyable opportunity to see and hear one of the true greats in trading. He is the author of "The Master Swing Trader", the top of my top ten favorite trading books. Yes, he is ugly. And, yes, he is incomprehensible. But if you can get past that, what an insightful writer on trading...

    Arthur Deco Mentors ET Noobs

    I'll have to answer. In the wee hours (wee-wee hours?) Dr. Deco mistook the Everclear for the Tito's and is not in real good shape right now. He only trades one strategy on one instrument at a time. The best strategy of the five that appear to work en se moment. He and I go round and round...

    The Invisible Hand That Limits Your Trading

    Forgive my comments, you can shoot me when we go to the range. Do you have a boner for LVS? Lose a lot of money there recently? Only way to get even? How bad can they be? They hosted this year's SHOT show. You ARE a gambler, gambling on a gambling stock! Why not gamble on something staid like...

    The Invisible Hand That Limits Your Trading

    If it wasn't brilliantly proprietary, mind saying what it was? Entry and exit time and price? No offense taken if the answer is no. But I do so love to analyze other people's trades. My system flashed "Do not trade. Waste your time irritating ESignal 11 developers on ET." I love my system!

    An All-new eSignal Launches...

    As a fellow coder, and you have my sympathies, my boss is an asshole, too, always wanting it done faster. I say "If you want it bad, that's how you'll get it!" But he never listens. Anyway, the fact that your blue sign-on window overlays whatever else is on the screen is highly annoying...

    Arthur Deco Mentors ET Noobs

    Hey, Art, ol' buddy! When ya gonna pay me for the 80 hours it took me to hack out that "deadband" code you just gave away for nuthin'? It ain't my fault it took me 79 hours to figure out what you meant by an "inverse thermostat!" Anyway, remember that system idea ya gave me at the same time...

    Fed Model:Probability of US Recession Predicted by Treasury Spread

    No offense, you post the best links here, but in the world I live in a 31% probability of anything based on correlation is noise. That would be clear if they published the scattergram of the data sets they used. If you saw it, you would say, "Hmmmm. There's almost something there. Maybe we are...

    Motivational Speaker Tony Robbins Warns Economic Collapse Is Coming

    My oh my! Bullshit means BUY! Despite his height for all his career he has been a midget standing on the shoulders of giants. Google Bandler and Grinder. And shame on you for fear mongering. You are a fear mongrel!

    What you lack is cynicism. Five years of watching will give you that. What are you? Twenty-three I am guessing. The market is not an eleemosynary society. You don't know that yet. In no way do I mean to be unkind. I was your age once, whatever your age is. Enjoy now what only the young can...

    Sorry. I am sober now. I explained myself as best I could in my impaired condition. If you had been smashed yourself when you read it, you would have understood it like I do. I very much admire your posting and your grasp of backtesting. You are doing a great job of educating ET to its virtues.

    It is not unkind because it needs to be said. You should just pack it in, watch the market for five years, and try again. You don't get it yet.

    Philosophy

    The 20th century philosopher Michael Polanyi's concepts of tacit and explicit knowledge are admirably applicable to trading.

    Indeed I am lazy. Is it not axiomatic that all traders are lazy? Elsewise they would seek honest employment rather than being worthless lychees on the findancial system. My laziness extends to me wanting you, in the famous words of the author Eric Berne, to "do me something." Depitt me to...

    Oh, 665.9999999, you know I lie a lot. One of my favorite books is Sheldon Kopp's "If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him!" Siddhatta Gautama's dying words were "Be lamps unto yourselves, oh Ananda!" Anyway, I and my 19 other aliases have him on ignore so I will never see Jack's suffering...

    Bill, I am so disappointed in you. I thought you might be the guru I have sought for so long. But clearly you do not know even the simplest of things, that opening time=closing time-dt. But I will cut you some slack and ask you an easy question. Let us suppose that backtesting over long...

    IB charting is disappointing

    I would be embarrassed to post that I was such a low profitability trader that I couldn't afford a high-end data and charting provider.

    Kindly help a senile old man out here, Bill. I have a question about the two parameters conomonon to all my systems. Is the opening time of the exchange you trade on indupendent of its closing time? That issue has always worried me. I have taken it on faith all these years, but maybe you have...

    Bill, no wristdispect indented, but there are exceptions. If you can verify to your satisfaction that each parameter's infect is kindasortamaybe indespondent from every udder, you can have more than three parameters in a system. I have some very robust systems that have seven parameters, but...
