The hoary academic discipline of trading psychology is long overdue for an overhaul. Once a proud and sober science, with its roots in the centuries-old study of manias panics and crashes (see Kindleberger, 1957), it is now being hawked and pimped in sound bytes by...

You make Dr. Deco's point perfectly, HolyGrail. ET imagines things that are not there. Both Duref and Mudgins are perfectly legitimate family names, as can be determined from the most casual googling. But as long as I am invoked, let me relate that the most trenchant advice I ever read about...

Those who seek an anagram in a poster's name are truly mistrustful.

Indeed we all do. We don't like to be in a trade more than a few minutes, because if we are, we all commence to arguing and altogether forget that we are in a trade. Hence the need for NoBrainer. Often it is good for only a minute. But it has a high win probability. Which we need, as we are all...

I am pleased today to announce the latest simplified trading system developed by me and my associates to overcome the deficits of mentally and physically challenged traders. In our experience this handily includes the needs of +/- 4 standard deviations of ET traders. As in past developments...

Yum!

Well, it was a long night for Fraulein Grossenbrusten. She had some difficulty telling a strong bar from a weak bar. At first we tried adding a BarQuality (TM) study to the chart, but that complicated it excessively. So we decided to color the bar itself according to its strength or weakness. In...

Indeed, food for thought, just as trading is thought for food. I shall keep you apprised of our progress training our first human to monkey standards, with examples from tomorrow's market. Just betweeen us, frankly I am disappointed that no one has seen fit to comment on the Hershean sweeping...

Thanks for the Polski lesson. Hope my little blague didn't take too much of your precious time. I invent at least two useless indicators every day, and share the worst of them periodically with ET. However, occasionally I give away the good stuff. MonkeyTrader is what I actually use, which see...

Indeed, then prop firms could eat failed traders with great relish, rather than simply firing them ignominiously.

As related in another thread, orangs proved to be too lazy and slow-witted, and to have a remarkable pain tolerance. Chimps were too aggressive and ate the iPhones running the software. Capuchins proved to be remarkably tractable and had just the right high-strung personas necessary to stick...

Pain conditioning for rapid and accurate learning of and adherence to the prop firm's proprietary trading system. It worked with monkeys in beta test, so it will perforce work with ET.

Dear friends, it is my pleasure to introduce to you today the released version of the trading system posted here earlier in beta testing as MonkeyTrader. We have granted exclusive rights for its use and marketing to the proprietary trading firm Schwerpunkt und Mannbrechen, LLP, affectionately...

I my case, I am sure that my rapid recent deterioration is due to eating too much pussy. No telling what's in that.

Read his book. That will give you an excellent idea of his intellectual prowess at trading.

Two-faced and half-assed? The complete version, which I don't share with the public, colors volume according to the same subtle algorithm and puts that up as a stoplight. So whenever volume and price are the same color, you trade! I learned that nifty little trick from SCT.

Oh, BTW, here's the .efs code for the Nofear system. Elegantly simple, don't you think? And so much less scary to look at than raw price.

Thank you, Blind and Wave. Your references to Wise-Ass Trade are on the money. Years ago when I couldn't sleep I would catch their ads and those of Teach Me to Trade on late night TV. Oh, how I wanted to be retireded/retarded and make all that money, too! The beauty of a stoplight is that you...

Mandelbrot, when did I ever say anything ugly to YOU? I guess people read my "little bullshit threads" because they like bullshit. And I thought that giving feaful traders an indicator just as good as price but not price so they wouldn't actually have to LOOK at price was clever. At least it...
