Thought you might like to see detail of the almost death spike at 6:27 ET tonight (the tick chart is in PT). Unfortunately I had succumbed to self-medication (a professional hazard) and missed it. But I run a tick chart continuously, and there it is.

I think that it was quite timely that (Ms.?) Smilingsync rightly objected to Enqueue's crudity. For truly I do believe he was a bad influence on this community. He represents that worst of all possible trading paradigms, the fallacious (note the spelling) notion that a deranged person can trade...

Eusdaiki, the former thread proprietor was inquiring as to the source of the DOM data, e.g., your broker. Also he inquired as to whether or not you are in a formal professional trading training program, if you are at liberty to say. I think he was in the process of trying to determine if you are...

Mudgins here, to clean things up. Shame to have such a good thread ruined by vulgar profanity. I am fully in tune with ET's tender sensibilities, and will keep the discourse civilized. Nothing lost re NQ acumen, however, I trade it every day, and quite well, if I do say so myself. Did you...

Like Holmes and Watson, Hypo and Dr. Deco are taking a humanitarian busman's holiday to Tucson to try to rescue the members of Jack's IBD group from guru thralldom, ala Jonestown or Waco. Consequently they are not posting here for a while. But they will report on their misadventures upon their...

As my friend Arouet might say "This is so stupid it makes my teeth hurt." "Fight or flee is the cardinal survival mechanism of most fauna and flora in existence." I don't know about you, but when the flora in my back yard get enough mobility to flee, I am pulling up stakes and moving. I...

It is a sad commentary on ET that a psych thread has to disguise itself in the Strategy forum! By that I mean that the threads in Psych are typically terminally and puerilely (not to mention purely) stupid. And that this thread shows you what complete compulsively neurotic losers the B-Team are...

Thunderdog, attentiveness is an intraday trading issue I can relate to. For three reasons: for me it takes minutes to form a mental model of the logic of the market, that is, get into its head and form a solid opinion of the durability of moves or of changes in direction many things have...

Gentlemen, there is an utterly fascinating thread about Jack Hershey's intraday method running over in Strategy Trading. Please take it there. The only interest this thread starter has in that topic is that it provides ample daily documentation of variations on the theme of forgetting.

Thunderdog, I fear that ET is not your issue. Low market volatility is. ET is merely the place to which you go to seek credible approaches to squeeze more blood out the turnip. In my professional opinion those approaches only appear credible to the credulous. In my own trading I typically only...

My intention in starting this thread was far from ET-bashing. It was rather in the spirit of 18th century morality fables gently to point out "There but for the grace of God go I." Having voyeuristically observed ET for so long, one senses a subtle but encouraging increase in foolishness which...

In fact I intended to discuss forgettings of a more prosaic nature such as forgetting whether one is long or short, what issue one has a position in, that indeed one is in a position at all, that the end of the daily session is about to take you into increased margin requirements, that the blue...

A.A. Brill wrote in the introduction to his English translation of the inspiration for this thread: "...Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and...

Guru, your issue is not patience. It is anxiety. The doctor is in.

Well, if all these punks are going to post, I might as well, too. Actually this is more in the way of a diatribe than a technical analysis. Take a look at the attached GC chart. I learned white trash finance dandling on my grandparents' knees. They told me how "that pinko commie queer Franklin...

Also, Jack, let's cut the surreptitious NLP crap. "Chunking" is an NLP term. Credit it, or don't use it. People need to know that your subcontext is NLP. But be assured that if you use it, you had better get it right.

Kindly explain to me EXACTLY what is real/physical in trading that allows me to build on kinesthetic experiences like learning to ride a bike or hit a ball. The only physical thing I do is punch T. I could be an immobile quadraplegic entering trades by squeezing a pneumatic bulb stuck up my ass...

Excuse me, sir, but you ARE in the Psych Forum. We are not idiots here, like you may be accustomed to elsewhere. Fight/flight is a polarity response. Read your Virginia Satir. It is a subset of the cool/hot polarity, namely on the hot side. Many people, most notably technical people like...
