Channelling the market spirit would not be that bad...:D

and turning points of TRIN that are important and can be used successfully.

but for books it's better to use your local library and request books via interlibrary loan system if the library does not have the book you are interested in. It saves you the S&H costs.

but not very frequently and can be fixed by going to the home page of ET instead of refreshing the page you are on.

WL can be as easy as you can make it, just as almost anything else in your life. But first you need to try it. For me Pascal is easy and I program in Delphi, so no wonder that WL is much easier for me than say Amibroker. Do I believe it will be easy for you? I don't know, only you can find...

I agree. That's what I really understand by simple. Both conceptually simple and easy to execute. Say, several times a month for an average $10,000 per ES contract per year. Sure, it will not make you rich overnight, but considering how much (or rather little) work you put into it with 4-5...

but you can get his charting software (minus some scan features, I guess) 5 bucks cheaper by subscribing directly to IQ Charts.

That is true, that's why I prefer both simple and easy. But that's the next step in thinking simple.

Yeah, but buying low and selling high and vice versa gives you better chances than 50%. Given a generous initial stop loss (say 4-6 pts) and closing after a target of 10 pts is reached would probably make it profitable. Not that I tested it, but seems to me like a sound idea. Of course it's...

My Windows 98 SE Compaq Presario was much louder before. Now, after I optimized it, it runs incredibly quietely.

stuff on Gann? Any books? I do use time of the day techniques to time my trades, or at least I used to when I was trading OEX options because now I am using only mechanical systems, but this by no means is anything that I would ever dare to sell to anyone as a method, rather as one of a few...

Thursday was a tough day, I lost 12 pts. It was a day when no breakout wanted to materialize and my systems are breakout systems.

True, but one way to learn is by trial and error. Can be costly at times, I know that from my own experience and I guess almost everyone can say something about it. Plus, not everything suits everyone. For some MA strategies are OK, for others they are not. So you are bound to test things on...

Systems like that retail for more than that, I know.

As long as his strategies are good and reasonably priced there is nothing wrong with that. I once spent $2,500 on something that I thought I would benefit from. It was not worth it, but buying a good reliable mechanical trading system for say $1,500 that could make you say $7,500 per ES...

I don't need to prove anything to anyone. That's never been my goal. Simplicity works precisely because of people like you who do not believe that. That's a pure contrarian argument because people like you constitute the majority on this board. I am very happy that this is the case. If...

That's precisely what I said, except that I made it even simpler.:D Now you are the public enemy number two on this board. You are dangerous because you dare to think simple. :D

A few more contracts will not change things much, but if everyone knew the rules of the system, it would definitely stop being as profitable as it has been. That's why I cannot share it with everyone and I am glad to hear that you can understand that. Some people on this board cannot grasp...

My point is this: only the really independent survive in this business. If you have guts to follow your system you are doing better than most of the ET readers. So why bother asking anyone here about what they think about your system. If it works keep using it. If you have doubts... well, that's...

Yes, in a way it is fundamental. You have a background in engineering, right? Simpler things break down easier? Or complex things break down easier? Answer this question and perhaps you will understand why simpler things can work better. The less complex something is the more reliable it is...
