Give him a few more posts and he will invent backtesting.

Ummm. Now to compose our inaugural post: Hello, ET. My name is Frankie Stein. I was invited here by (name a moderator who is usually asleep at the wheel and won't notice we used his name). I have been on the Aethernet leading trading discussion groups for many years, and just now became aware...

Additionally, we cannily use the "Choosy Mothers Choose Jif" approach. Frankie's method is not comprehensible to most. Only those of superior intellect and/or moral virtue can benefit from it: "Eighteen out of twenty people who read my posts will consider it nonsense and pass it by." "Most...

Now as to content, the language of trading has been with us for centuries, and was well codified in the 1930's. So what do we have to say that is new? Nothing, truth to tell. So to be relevant we must reinvent trading. "Up" becomes "right." "Down" becomes "left." "Velocity" becomes "pace."...

Now let us suppose, as an amusing untellectual exercise, that we wish to create such a Frankenstein's Trading Monster. Because there will inevitably be posting inconsistencies, we must strive to have the same look and feel in every post, so as not to give the game away, as it is great good...

Much (or little) is often made on ET of those deranged and highly annoying individuals who manifest, or create, multiple aliases with the appearance of multiple personalities. Such posters give me little pause because I deal with them daily in my private trading therapy practice. What vexes me...

When I saw your post, I immediately went to the freezer and pulled out an icy Kirin Ichiban. I am now half way through it (the beer, not your post) and I still have no clever riposte. You win.

Years ago that would have been a relevant and perceptive question. Now with my prostate as it is I trade from the bathroom.

Sheep are more docile when you float them. Or so I have been told.

Oh! I like sheep. Perhaps Bo can help me find one? A stream runs through my property that is just perfect. Knee high.

To be perfectly candid, I am not sure that that's not me. Do we know each other? I mean, in a non-Biblical, non-shared-bodily-fluids way?

My decades of analytical practice lead me to suspect some latent hostility here. Brown-nose? Jerkoff? Can brown-nose jerkoff be next? Or will it be jerkoff brown-nose?

No I am really cornfuzed. Am I having this side conversation with myself? Actually, I have a little MPD fan. It oscillates to keep all my personalities cool.

Can't be all bad. Jack likes it.

Well you may jest, but MPD is serious binness to me. I will never forget reading Richard Bandler: "In the future we will all have multiple personalities." He meant that comment positively, I think. To mean that MPD is a perfectly reasonable and effective way to cope with living in contemporary...

Please don't make me laugh! My pleuresy, you know. I haven't laughed at a post here other than my own for weeks. You are right on both counts. When computer games were just becoming reasonably challenging in the 80's I had a sideline selling them for a while, introducing to my equally nerdy...

Perhaps it is like your handle. Ambuggerous. Are you a current spurt? Or an ex spurt? I think you are right that MPD on ET is like MPD in the unreal world. Trauma/stress related. You create an alias in your first foray here, and make a total ass of yourself. "I like this place, but don't dare...

You DO have wide ranging interests to have that many (eight?) webonalities. I have only two outside of ET, and I rarely use them because those fora are habituated by people much smarter than I am who bitch slap me when I post. But I feel downright confortable on ET. I do agree with the literary...

The thought lingers. The reality has already been spent on expensive habits and hobbies.

The psychiatric community not too long ago renamed MPD to DID, somewhat like the community at large earlier changed queer to gay, with the same lack of significance. I have considerable experience with the old MPD in my private practice (funny how the patients didn't look any different after the...
