Oh, Sunny, you are still a system piggie. One day you will learn that other people's systems will not work for YOU! That is because working systems are so bizarre and counterintuitive that you can't believe them. It is very much like sex, where you have to have the insight and courage to...

If this putz thinks he can make the right call half the time with a coin flip, he must not be looking at the markets I look at. SIDEWAYS is a direction, too. Or maybe he holds for however long it takes for the market to go his way.

Jack. Re backtesting, the available products are only a trap if you use their canned solutions, crap like conventional TA. I use E-Signal. It allows you to capture tick-by-tick the tick time, the inside market, the last transaction, and its volume. That's the whole market, except for DOM, which...

Mad. What comes before a breakout? Nothing. By definition the range is in a tight (unnnnnh!) consolidation, 2 to 4 ticks. It has been that way for longer than it takes to reach a slow orgasm. The volume is so low it sounds like popcorn in the microwave when most of the corn has popped. And price...

One minute and one second.

Easy. Not automated. Unless you consider the inside of your head to be automation. In the pitiful little system I described, it's not like you have to be able to recognize seven things which magically occur together, a la Jack. The seven rules are conditions which slowly build up, like an...

Savvy. Thank you for your kind offer, but I have tried many times to understand other people's complicated systems and I never seem to be able to get it. My best system, which I never talk about, has only two rules. The seven rule one is a little oil/NQ tick fuck I described elsewhere. It is so...

The inside market is totally unreliable because of hidden size. Besides, as most girls know, size isn't everything. It's all about how the size is used. Floor rotation is the perfect example. Unnnnnh!

Savvy. My point was that I don't trade anything I can't test. A two rule system is untestable. But then again I trade a seven rule system, so go figure. I have posted mine. What's yours? An inside bar followed by a consolidation BO? That's so shitty only a fool would waste time trying to...

To paraphrase Sam Clemens, you can use all systems some of the time and some systems all of the time, but you can't use all systems all of the time.

The synthetic contract works, I think.

An inside bar is like Jack's Voodoo setup. Of course SOMETHING is going to happen. The question is WHAT? Sometimes the same nothing happens over and over. It's called "take your money".

I myself prefer the scavenging analogy. Rural Texas roadkill chili is my specialty. But that is nothing compared to the best strategy of all, the one most practiced on the Street: theft.

Ah, yes, inside bars. Whoever first suggested that they work should be BEHIND them. The idea doesn't test out as a standalone idea. And once you add a second test, it isn't testable at all.

I am the poster child for ADHD trading. And I wasn't joking. I was as serious as pussy.

ET abwhores a vacuum. Therefore absent a totally OT response by Jack, I shall respond. You see bitchin' channels on a one second chart, which might as well be a tick chart. If there were no spread (unlike as in sex, the spread is NOT good), and if those runs lasted more than 8 ticks, you could...

I think that the more important distinction is between limit and market order participants.

Uh, TOC, that means it's random.

Duard. 1%? I wan't aware that there was even that much there. Be advised that there are two differences between me and Jack. One, I trade. Two, I can explain to you exactly how I do it in totally unequivocal language, algorithmically precise. Mike.

Lefty - I write for a VERY small coterie of intellectual perverts here, numbering less than ten. I am pleased to hear that you are not among them. If you want to think about someone who has a pitiable life, think of dear Jack. I am making a shitload of money, getting well laid every night, and...
