    How to determine the strength of a trend

    This thread reaffirms my faith in ET. Please tell us all, what instruments do you trade? Trading NQ is getting to be too hard. I need simpler competition.

    Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

    AND, it is increasing its value relative to oil. Also, I can attest from personal experience that it buys more of that commodity which the moderators forbid me to mention than it ever did before.

    Rejoice, fellow buggers! Gold is afraid of its trendline!

    Stimulating Creative Thinking

    Nothing stretches the brain like trying to figure out how to get a new girlfriend off efficiently with the least alcohol and physical effort.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Pray do explain yourself. I believe a profound thought lurks within that post. Unlike your previous one, which failed to mention the possibility of buying or seeling pressure in a horizontal move.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Yes, I agree. But I have consistently been an asshole for several years here. Consistency aside, the question is, are you making any MONEY? And BTW, Jack DOES evolve. Albeit slowly. As befits his age. It is like watching a snail go down your driveway.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Oh, Mex, are you a girl? In fact, I don't care! I get it off on literacy! My fat girlfriend, much as I adore her abilility to infinitely orgase, would not have recognized the reference! Nor would Jack, the literal prick! But Wolfie would! I am so excited, I may trade tomorrow! I sang arias from...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Most of the Jackean pronouncements make as much sense as "The slithy toves did gyre and gimbal on the wave." For those of you who remember your doggerel poetry.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Jack. Thanks for the thought. However, if I could trade as well as I can screw I wouldn't be working for a living. And you know quite well that what you just described isn't testable because it is too complex. One is tempted to say that what isn't testable can't work, but that is a stretch, as I...

    Pas d'Absurdites. Anyone who doesn't appreciate the parallels between trading and sex isn't getting any channels. Good trades are like my mistress. They both moan: " Oh, Mike, take me!"

    Sunny. If Jack were to write a trading book, it would be H&S above anything on the market. I have offered to co-author and edit it for him. You know, tighten the logic up a bit, make it so anybody can understand it. Maybe even provide some BT proofs. Embed a few esoteric jokes for the exoteric...

    Oh, Jack, don't go there. You don't know shit about backtesting, and you embarrass yourself every time you talk about it with those of us who DO. Some of your stuff is brilliant (note that I said SOME), but it is NOT testable. At least by any testes likely to be posting here. You are a superb...

    Does anyone have experience with Black Boxes?

    I eat black boxes all the time.

    No other B-Teamer has responded to Jack's post, so I'll hazard one. Converting what he said about CCC to a word algorithm would produce rules something like this: 1. Test for a "congestion", "lateral flat channel": 1.a. channel test time duration 1.b. absolute value of channel slope...

    Wolfie. My comment was in the context of Jack's earlier postings, where I recall that he recommended a bracket entry and "washing" on a reversal. That was what I tested. Mike.

    Sunny. I don't need one. It never fails. But if it DID, the stop would be two ticks. Mike.

    Easy. I have tested BO's intraday and they don't work. More Jack charlatanism. Of course he gets out of those positions without losses, which my codes never seem to do. Mike.

    Egal. I am an idiot. I am using E-Signal's built-in language, .efs, written in Java. I bought a faster machine to take out the code execution lag. Mike.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Egal. Thanks. I find that the greatest boon to my trading is my sexual perversity. When I watch my one second and one minute charts evolve, at critical points I involuntarily dry out "Wooo Hooo!" The market is one big screwing on all time frames. How could it be otherwise? I like what Jack calls...
