    Compulsive Trading Disorder

    Is it still gambling, and do you still need help, if you routinely win? I tell all my patients that if they always get off, their sex is not compulsive.

    Boredom

    Thanks. If I get longer-running examples I may post, assuming I wake up alive. I invented the boredom metric precisely for the case you mentioned where traders are lulled to sleep before a big move, but haven't had a case of that in these two days.

    Boredom

    The boredom metric is not derived from volume, but it does roughly inversely mirror volume, sometimes leading, sometimes lagging. My impression of it so far is that it is superior as a predictor to Jack Hershey's PV Relation. Attached is a chart snippet showing that boredom may lead or lag...

    Boredom

    Here is an example of how decline in the boredom metric indicated traders' belief in the associated price rise.

    Boredom

    Yes, but watching a fast chart might keep them from choking on sleep apnea in the meantime.

    Boredom

    Attached is a clear example of the utility of the boredom metric. Price is rising modestly, but boredom increases, suggesting disbelief, or skepticism, or disinterest, or knowing better. Price reverses and boredom decreases.

    Boredom

    The approach you describe is for highly intelligent traders, not for those reading this. But even with my own limited intellectual horsepower I do watch the correlation du jour, 6E. As my boredom grows, I think I see NQ driving 6E, not the other way around. When that happens, I go in the back...

    Boredom

    And ideally it is the woman who has fallen into a state of drunken exhausted unconsciousness. I have to trade tomorrow.

    Boredom

    I suggest that you develop your own personalized boredom metric, because mine measures the mean boredom of the ensemble of bored traders. So far in my attempts to rationalize the utility of my new invention, I have found that there is a somewhat fuzzy maximum value of boredom attained during the...

    Boredom

    Is the chart merely a(u,r)tistic or does it mean something?

    Boredom

    My reasons for posting are purely eleemosynary. ET has pegged my dual dumb/dull-ometers for several months running now. It is low time for some high intellectual content. Hence my sharing of the boredom metric. You can see from this little chart snippet of the hour before the close that market...

    Boredom

    I can relate. My goal is to invent a new system every day. Being an elderly alcoholic, I have mastered the art of dozing while trading. When overhelmed by ennui, I shift from my trading desk chair to a comfy recliner nearby from which my 23 inch screen is still nominally readable. Obnoxious...

    Boredom

    Indeed volume is funny. Like when price moves on invisible volume and volume moves on invisible price change.

    Boredom

    Well, back in the day, what made work not so boring was jiving with the young secretaries, that was before computers when the secretaries were the computers. And trying to get to work and function, barely unstoned. And fucking in the copulatious warehouse spaces after lunch. Ah, the 60's and...

    Boredom

    We are all familiar with it. Some of the more paranoid among us believe the chart is manipulated to put us to sleep or cause us to abandon the screen just before a big move. "I just need to close my eyes for a minute." "I wonder has stocksandbondage.com updated for today?" "Has the stripper...

    Twenty-Forty ES Trades/Day with SCT?

    We have long periods of sanity where we have no desire to read him. But we always keep a pack of cigarettes in the sock drawer, just in case.

    Trading Full-Time Is Not What I Fantasized

    Yes, being a engineer by edification I bought Hurst's little monograph 25 or so years ago and wasted far too much of my meagre intellectual horsepower on transform analysis, which back then was a non-trivial exercise computationally. Using EOD data, every solution I found rapidly diverged from...

    Trading Full-Time Is Not What I Fantasized

    How did it work out with that French sculptor, BTW? I always wondered if you made the right choice about the other one. Hot relationships always got ME into trouble.
