Poor demented N.Q. Enqueue sent me this image, with a feverish note that said "Buy Monday!" Plus some ranting about ET not believing his Confabulator oscillator. Does anybody know what he meant? I doubled his dose of lithium carbonate to 600mg twice a day, and advised him to stay away from ET...

Thanks, 225, exactly what I was experiencing. Suceurs des pines! (That's cocksuckers for you non-frog talkers).

Link?

Opie, if you were reading carefully, you learned today: a new chart pattern, Escalator to Nowhere that VWAP is useless, utterly without merit and that by implication, since we didn't discuss it when we talked velocity, acceleration is a useless measure of price. Edit: and an...

225, you just gave away some personal information using the word "hysteresis". And spelling it correctly.

When you code and test it, stay open to the possibility that what may be significant is a dead band of +/- velocity around zero velocity. But I am stepping on Joe Doaks' toes, he will have me over a barrel (he likes that, the bugger).

I gotcha. I do things like that with E-Signal. Code for a simple-minded VWAP is ten lines. But VWAP is worthless, why would you want to calculate that? And kindly explain to a math-challenged old fool why you think zero price velocity offers opportunity. In what time frame?

I am also thinking of a thread on trust, or faith, as an issue in trading. Sorry to dwell on MY issues, but it IS all about ME.

225, the E-Signal guess was a no-brainer, all 19 of my personalities post charts using it. Are you implying that E-Signal makes my connections go down? I would have believed that until yesterday, when I found out it was Cingular's shit-eating wireless software. After 45 minutes on the horn with...

Gaidaros, an ugly image, that. Please save me the trouble of reading your voluminous posting history and tell me why you are hanging around this miserable little thread. Interested in trading psychology? BTW, your English is excellent. You had me fooled for a while. Native language is?

Serious issues. Most days I'll lose TWS once or twice, of course always right after I entered a trade. Not usually a problem, as I am trying to hold longer than 60 seconds now. I have two high speed (allegedly) connections running on two different computers as an insurance policy. Naturally BOTH...

225, my issue with IB is that for years they took all my money and only recently started giving me some back. Bastards! Funny you should like the briefing.com stuff. I love the way it's always 180 out of phase, like the stock market reports you hear on the radio at the top of the hour. But I...

For Joe Doaks fans, there was just a beautiful little Rule of Fifteen from 2:10-2:24 ET in NQ. That escalator said, "Up", but when you got to the top, there was no landing. It opened onto an empty elevator shaft.

Hmmm. Curious. My threads seem to attract IB customers. That says a lot. Keep your secrets, 225, but pray tell, why watch Yahoo to see what is going on?

225, you have steadfastly declined to provide any intake interview information in our many PMs, so I am unable to offer you any counsel. Any other day, I would advise you not to drink beer, or at least to drink only Jap beer, during RMH, but today is an exception. We might as well spend our...

Here's another great one today: "Like taking candy from a baby."

Thank you, Nutmeg, an excellent idea. We should try to reach out to more people here. Unfortunately, dementia sufferers remain in denial long after their lives are reduced to a series of yellow sticky reminders from loved ones or caretakers of what they are supposed to do during the day. Mine...

Thunderdog, that IS a good idea for a trading psych thread, sort of akin to sexual dysfunctions. I'll get to it after I do a thread titled "Indiscretionary Trading".

Gaideros, thank you for joining in. We need more mental health professional here. There is greater need on ET than Dr's. Deco, Mudgins and I can service. My denizens may appear to be casual about trading, but I can assure you from private correspondence that they are quite serious on the...

Around here, one never knows. He could turn into the new Jack, for all I know. Kindly say something about trading psych, will you, so that we don't get chit-chatted? Right now my system is in fibrillation, a good indicator to stay on the sidelines. Those who think I am full of shit about the...
