    The BTFD System

    Attached is the rip-roaring bull market edition of my new BTFD system as applied to GLD. The "buy" line is in green. My investment in time and pain to develop BTFD would astound you, so don't even ask for the code. It is not for sale at any price unless the price is right. It uses four SLOCs...

    Arthur Deco Mentors ET Noobs

    This IS the definition of an EMA. Using an EMA on the lows and another on the highs reduces whiplash. Both are very close to the 50 EMA used by many institutional investors. I use this to identify support for scaling into long position trades and investments. And for ditching weakening...

    Porting Code from ESignal to NinjaTrader

    Merely typing the thread title gave me a paralyzing migraine. Where will my challenge lead me? To have a stroke? Pour commencer, I refreshed my memory on how one learns to use ESignal: go to the home page click on the link for the ESignal product you want to learn about click on the link...

    The end game of gun control

    Liberals don't got no dicks. They are all pussies. My mother almost killed my father in his sleep with a twelve inch cast iron frying pan when she found out about him and the nice lady next door. My mother was no liberal!

    What would happen if China did actually dump the USD and all US bonds?

    I am no econonomist. But bear with me: the chinks sell Treasurys (not my spelling, theirs) the Bernank buys them (who the fuck else would?) the Bernank pays in dollars the chinks have to get rid of the paper summers the chinks buy US assets with their worthells paper the US...

    I was out to dinner, I come back futures are up 6, anybody know why?

    Hmmmm. Two narrow range days? In a strong uptrend? Followed by a breakout? I don't get it.

    Quicksand-please help!

    For starters, you are a lying SOB because your English is highly idiotmatic, so you are clearly a naive speaker. That said, what you need is a system. Excusing my lisp, queerly you do not have one. I can help. But it will be painful. Because to become a systematic trader you must first...

    Retail Inflation and Consumer Staples Stocks

    1.75 liters. Priced to the penny the same as Tito's at GoodyGoody. If you filter your own water, that cost is near zero. But throw a few bucks of your savings in an old pickled pigs' feet jar for a liver transplant.

    An All-new eSignal Launches...

    I use 11 every day now to get a quick look at my position trades and investments in a 20 chart page. I thought it was robust in this simple application. Haha! I decided to change the look of the candlesticks. So I selected a chart, went to Format Object. Made the change. And selected Apply All...

    Retail Inflation and Consumer Staples Stocks

    My wife is always getting sucked in by specious sales ads which advertise "ridiculously low prices!" So I made up a spread sheet for her of thge things we commonly buy so she would be able to see that nobody EVER beats Sams's Club prices. A side benefit of this is that I periodically track...

    Why You Should Periodically Rot Your Mind on ET

    Are you sure you aren't married to my ex? I like the flea market idea, thanks. You are inded a connoissewer of guns. Alas, my dainty hands and delicate ears do not permit me to fondle 45s. And besides, it would not fit well in the SmartCarry which is my preferred holster. As to a knife...

    Why You Should Periodically Rot Your Mind on ET

    I had one years ago I bought in Paris, but someone passing through the house stole it. Illegal in Texas now, so intruders are just going to have to settle for getting shot. I tend not to complain to my wife about her shoes, as long as she occasionally parades around naked in them.

    Why You Should Periodically Rot Your Mind on ET

    I am not sure if that is creatively impulsive or impulsively creative. Either way, robust backtested system trading is the cure. Bitch Market seems to be impulsive, but if you look at her statistically, as you should with all women, you can get her number.
