If you are all quite finished, I shall continue. "By their charts shall ye know them." Our subject is an E-Signal user. Certainly better than Q-Charts. But no Bloomberg. Why E-Signal? No coding is in evidence. Only canned indicators. Hand-inserted lines with daily pivots. An EMA which is too...

A quote: "I am the infinite one. Without beginning, without end."

Jem, your thoughts clearly are headed in the same conventional direction as my own, despite my disdain for orthodoxy. There cannot be two such huge egos in all the trading world. Unless there is great flattery at work here. CT (you provide the intervening vowels), on ET before we trade or...

Let me continue my praise before heaping calumny. This individual has made an analysis of what ET wants that is so insightful it makes me professionally envious. He or she knows that ET craves to be talked down to, to be belittled, to be pontificated at, to be humiliated, to be spanked. In...

From time to time ET presents an extraordinary opportunity to study an archetypical individual, a veritable avatar of symptomatology. A genius of literary psychology could not construct a protagonist with a more empyrean view of himself than...

123Magic, something doesn't ring true here. Why would your patient need a trading mentor to "wind down from the world of day trading"? It sounds like YOU need a co-therapist, not a trading mentor for him. Please clarify the client's need. I both trade and provide therapy to traders, and am so...

ET is a great gift, a free season pass to the zoo.

Pairsarb, thank you for your kind remarks. That is the nicest thing anybody has said about me since I died 67 years ago. In my mind, the opposite of greed is the lack of greed, and it is subsumed in detachment, meaning that I do not expect any more from a trade than it can give. Women are...

Did you have Norton 2007 with fraud monitoring on?

Don't get me started! Tell me, what is floor rotation if not a hard game of "Come Here! Go away!"

Someone invoked me? Getting very heavy here. Speak to me of trading and the occult. I am here to help. And I disagree that the Market is not female. If it is evil, it is woman. I am still pissed about Karen Horney, the conniving manipulative bitch, sleeping her way to the top with that bastard...

Kevin, all excellent observations, well done. Would you care to share any charts which illuminate your trenchant observations?

F9, I keep up the teeny-tiny little study attached (spanning about an hour) on my one second chart showing black when the NQ spread is two ticks and red when it is 3+. Example for today's premarket. As I use market orders exclusively, I try to avoid spread widening. As to emailing, they do...

F9, if I were in your part of the world I would pay big bucks to watch you trade, but you probably would be too smart to take dollars. As always when wisdom fails me and I start a thread, I am humbled. Marvelous observation abou the pre-open, which I do not trade. But you also see it in the...

Fearless, makes perfectly good sense, thank you. But I don't believe that volume influences price, so I am off to create an Equi-Price chart. After carefully rereading your post, I noticed that you didn't mention that awkward case where price is rising and the bid is getting the action.

Persistence. Why save persistence to last, implying that it is the most important trading quality? Because the one thing you must always remember is NEVER NEVER QUIT! I don't care how badly you have fared, assuming you were following your systems. Keep hitting it. Many a down day I have...

Spectra, I would be more circumspect, if I were you. I sense that the B-Team is wearying of harrassing ET's favorite guru, now that they are making all that paper money. They may start reading your posts, which heretofore they have ignored precisely because you are a sponsor, and turn on YOU.

Thunderdog, just trying to avoid attracting your ire. I thought that since you don't like arrogance and certainty...

Fearless, thank you for posting that chart. No danger of anyone stealing your method. Who could understand it? Kudo's for calculating MA slope. Could one possibly grovel for a brief explanation of why you like what I believe are called "equivolume" charts? It would bug me not knowing what time...

Determinism. With all but one physical and mental element in place, determinism comes into play. By determinism I mean the opposite of randomness. The market is quasi-random. You shouldn't be. Determinism is your trading system, or systems. EVERY entry you make is system based. NO entry is...
