B: I would ask you to give us examples of other lamentable behaviors on ET, but I think we already know too well what they are. Rather let me simply ask this: Why? M: I answer simply: Why not? Why is there not an elitebrainsurgeon.com? Or an eliterocketscientist.com? Because legitimate...

B: You mentioned delusion. Can you give us an example if illusion? M: Easily. Innumerable academic studies have proved that markets behave stochastico-chaotico-manipulatively. But the great mathematical unwashed, on ET, as in the populace at large, wouldn't know leptokurtosis from halitosis...

B: Alas, I know that din of inequity all too well. Some years back my twelve year old grandson borrowed my ratty old copy of Edwards and Magee and convinced a sizeable constituency on ET that he was an elder statesman of trading. He's now "75", I think, and still having a ball leading innumerate...

Following is an advance excerpt from the featured article of the next issue of Barron's: Dr. Duref Mudgins, famed researcher on the psychology of securities traders, has sponsored and won acceptance for a new mental health disorder: Elite Trader Syndrome (ETS). ETS has been accepted by...

Id: Is Thunderdog saying that people actually LIE on ET? SuperEgo: He has been around a long time. And tripped up more than his share of frauds. Id: But WHY? I mean, it's anonymous! Nobody knows who the fuck anybody else really IS! SuperEgo: Well, ET is a fantasy construct. You can...

SuperEgo: OK, OK, Id, what, exactly, is it that you want to reveal to ET? Id: Our prediction for the NQ close! Then everyone will think I am a genius and ignore SpyderTrader! SuperEgo: Uh, Id, Lao Tzu disclosed that last week in Journals, three days running. Id: Is Lao Tzu us...

Id: I don't care, SuperEgo, and you can't stop me! ET deserves to know what we have discovered! SuperEgo: Who, exactly, is deserving here? Id: Well, MandelBrotSet, for one. SuperEgo: And who, exactly, is MandleBrotSet? Id: Why, he's JimmyJam, of course! SuperEgo: And, who...

Id: I'm gonna share our latest brilliant NeuvoTA discovery with all of ET! SuperEgo: Why the fuck would you want to do that? Id: So they'll all know how smart I am! SuperEgo: They, who, exactly? Id: Well, Dickbrain and Fuckstick for starters. And my old buddies Dipshit and...

Ah, yes, the old negative side lobes trick for local area suppression. Nature evolved it before we discovered it. And you employ it as a mental trick to concentrate on detecting change, letting continuation take care of itself. Of course I pervert everything you say, so what I learned from you...

To all this thread's contributors, my most heartfelt thanks for engaging in a semi-uncivil dialogue. It was interesting to see Jack et al drawn out and to read such a wide variety of views on the methods. And many thanks to moderation for allowing the thread to survive and for keeping it up at...

The lamented demise of George Carlin leaves only Andrew "Dice" Clay (Silverstein, what must his mother think?) and me to uphold standards of indecency. Apropos of this, I am recently in receipt of a complaint regarding my current thread promoting Jack Hershey and SCT in Psych. The accusation is...

Reciprocity as a word has a curious reciprocal quality to it. For example, does a reciprocal engine evidence reciprocity? Can it be said to reciprocate? Like me liking French better than English, but being born in the wrong country and learning it too late to speak it well. But regardless of the...

Gucci, I am sorry, English is not my preferred language, I just speak and write it better. In my head it is possible for a single quality like cynicism to have two or more effects, because I have multiple personalities. An upbeat algorithmically-curious personality wonders "Why the fuck did that...

Good work, TIKITTRADER! Thanks for sharing!

Todd asked me recently in a PM if I enjoyed leading B-Team trolls around by the nose in anti-SCT threads. I do! Thanks to you all for entertaining a dying old man (me, not Jack). Par consequence I am dying slower than by all rights I should be. Those few of you who trade, trade well today.

Humor is to satire as adolescence is to maturity. Jack has already weighed in on where I come down on both scales. As to cynicism, any semi-untelligent person cannot escape it after even the briefest pee-rusal of ET postings. Amateur traders support an impressive scamdustry, within which ET...

Magus, kindly advise us all here when you start that journal. Thanks.

Well done, Mr. Black! Thanks for sharing! Did you use SCT for any of those trades?

Reveal their secrets? There are no secrets. The late Bruce Babcock Jr.'s "The Four Cardinal Principles of Trading" revealed all. Everybody KNOWS the secrets, they just can't implement them, haha! I can't, either, but I wrote code that can. And I do what it tells me to.

Who knows? Todd says he's a great guy. But then, he made Todd rich, didn't he? Didn't he? "Sic transit gloria." Get over it, Jack. I did. Now we are just two rambling old men trying to convince those who inherited our world that we are relevant. I hate Springsteen, but he said it best...
