    Do Trendlines work?

    Jason. An elegant piece of cunning linguistic analysis! I cannot bring myself to even try it anymore. As in the Nwbprop thread, the dialogue between mentor and mentee eventually (and now we see, inevitably) deteriorated into a sado-masochistic relationship. Not that I have anything against that...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Thread. Continuing in an unaccustomedly philosopical vein, trading is like sex. You learn by DOING it. A LOT. As often as possible. The market is like a woman. It pleases you when you learn what it likes to do. It says one thing, but means another. You will never plumb its secrets until you...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Generally I do not post anything serious here, but all this focus on mental development and getting rich is making me gag. I spent all night with a beautiful woman teaching her things she didn't know about herself. That is MY idea of mentoring and sharing the wealth. Get a life, thread!

    Moving Average

    Please be quiet about that. I use VWAP, which I figure must be close to what you use. Couldn't live without it. Every once in a while I post that here to verify that most people think it's stupid. But please don't explain here why it works.

    Do Trendlines work?

    For deleting my highly literate and relevant post, ET can kiss my sweet articulate ass. Goodbye. "Quoth the raven: 'Nevermore!' " Fucking Nazis!

    Dao of Trading

    "He who is fearless in being bold will meet with his death; He who is fearless in being timid will stay alive." IMO Old Man's best trading advice. He would have done well scalping NQ.

    Dao of Trading

    You should play for your wife the Who song "Squeezebox": "Mama's got a squeezebox. Daddy doesn't sleep at night!" She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in. She's playin' all night. And the music's all right. Mama's got a squeezebox. Daddy doesn't sleep at night!"

    Moving Average

    I differ to beg! An FIR filter is NOT an IIR filter! It is a hole difference of world. An IIR is the Sgt. Schultz of filters: it loses NOTHING!

    Value of Education

    I think that any kind of education beyond arithmetic and the alphabetical ability to distinguish one symbol from another is worthless. I get my best trading ideas when I am dead fucking drunk, nigh unto comatose. Those ideas invariably fall into the line of "There is no fucking way that what I...

    Moving Average

    I use a first order infinite impulse response filter tuned by eye. It's a poor man's Kalman, and yes, purists, I know that eyeballing it makes it a known solution to an unknown problem. But it works, and the code is trivial. And Jack don't teach it. Before his time, educationally.

    Dao of Trading

    Bigarrow. Sorry to be so late in replying. I was eating my current fat girlfriend out to Iron Butterfly's "In a Gadda Da Vida" (17 minutes, 6 seconds), and got her off 17.1 times. My point is, you should trade like you fuck. At my advanced age (60), I cannot keep it up very long, either fucking...

    Scalping & Scalpers

    You are so rude to ask! I still work for a living. I trade only between consulting gigs. Today I made maybe $60. I can't even fucking remember. I post my trades in a journal. How embarrassing! I trade only for fun. So now you know.

    Scalping & Scalpers

    Copa. You obviously are not from here. Being white trash definitely has its advantages. We are all close relations. I mean, VERY close. Mike.

    Scalping & Scalpers

    Oh. Sorry. I am very sensitive. People whom CLAIM to sell the HOD and buy the LOD make fun of me for my 3-5 tick trades. My problem is that I can easily find the HOD and LOD several times a day, so I stick to tick fucking. Also, I drink when I trade, and this severely shortens my attention span...

    Notchum. It tastes better when it isn't clean. That's where I get my daily minerals. Mike.

    Scalping & Scalpers

    Resistance. First of all, there are those of us who suffer from free-floating anxiety. EVERYTHING makes us edgy. Tick fucking is the solution to high anxiety in trading. But think. You call me a piker? This is totally true. But if I wanted to, I could trade 100 cars. Would you rather put your...

    Scalping is misnomer. They should call it "fucking", in and out quick.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Jack, baby, I am on board. When pigs fly, I will be your co-pilot. But your last post didn't tell me how to get RICH. Haven't you figured out yet that I will be your supremely sublime sycophant if you will just make me RICH? I am temporarily unemployed, but I will leap on a plane to Tukson and...
