Jack. If I may presume to speak for the B-Team (I am the mascot, you know, the idiot who runs around in an animal suit on the sidelines?), we eagerly await detailed explications of your intraday methods. I in particular am keen to see methods so detailed that I can code and test them. Or to...

Makosgu. I only use trendlines and channels on daily charts. As I have posted before, my testing proved to my satisfaction that they are useless intraday all by themselves. Maestro says they improve other strategies. That may be, but I believe that it is impossible to reliably test a two part...

You are flat fucked because there is nothing original in your charts. I see no proprietary studies. You won't make it without a unique approach. And you'll only get that by coding it yourself. Please note that the snide comment in my first resonse to you was preceded by good advice.

Forgive an idiot weighing in (I am hoping to attract Jack, or maybe even someone smart), but here is my ex post facto analysis. (Isn't that the way ALL TA works?) Look at the attached one minute chart in Pacific time. I hope to persuade you to shift to it. (The one minute, not the PT.) I believe...

NN. I am sorry, but as near to death as I am, I cannot be intellectually dishonest. Jack influenced my trading more than anyone else. Not Farley, though I do dearly love his cynicism. Not Graifer, though he is probably the most honest guru. Not Pesavento, though he is the nicest guru. Not even...

Makosgu. When you have read, carefully analyzed, tested and attempted to trade EVERY intraday trading concept posted here by Jack Hershey, Bubba7, and Grob109, you will know exactly where I am coming from.

Beg pardon? Is English your second language?

Coolweb. Sorry, didn't see your post until just now. Pitfalls? More like pratfalls. Yesterday you scalped and failed to recognize that it was a trend day. "I'll discipline myself and trend trade today!" It's a scalping day. So I now scalp every day I trade. My best advice to you is to read...

"It is the REAL difference between one's mental image and reality that causes the emotion." Sounds like that describes an unpleasant emotion. Does that mean that if image and reality are in harmony you get a pleasant one? Like I woke up in bed this morning with a fat girl who still looks good...

Paper TRADING Is Mastur BADING. Is why it feel so good.

Svart. You are entirely too nice. The feelings of the people on the other side of your winning trades (you DO have winning trades, don't you, they feel like orgasms if you don't know) experience the full gamut of negative emotions. Those emotions are not delusions for them. Delusions don't HURT...

Threei's book offers a balanced view of shorts vs. longs. So does Alan Farley's. It's a short list, IMO. Probably because the practice is evil, perverse, and patently un-American, sort of like butt-fucking. "Don't sell America short!"

Is there an FX future which would pay ME to trade it? Surely there is some Fourth World currency that bears a negative interest rate. Like the North Korean won-ton?

Hi, there! B-Team water boy here! Now, Jack, there you go confusing people by stating theory as fact: "You have all the points required to draw the next trend channel by the time the price leaves the prior channel." That is simply not always true, especially in the case of your beloved FTT...

Being able to write and efficiently code complex algorithms is absolutely essential to the way I trade. That's why I value my engineering mathematics education.

I am a happy sadist, and I let my ego have its little fun in trading. The exact opposite of "be-egoless" is the NLP dictum "What can you do with a problem like that?" "You have to avoid feelings of guilt, persecution, and despair."? I say, INFLICT feelings of guilt, persecution, and despair!

Wolfie, you are a serious insomniac. I posted for all to see in my intermittent journal "Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts" a simple little setup that is fairly reliable, and posted execution examples. The rules are simple: 1) oil must be volatile that day, more than a dollar, and NQ must...

Jonnyy40. If I recall correctly, you are a Jackophant. The more zombies Jack creates, the more aliases the B-Team is obliged to create to maintain a decorous balance. The reason is that there is no lack of credulous ET members, whereas those intellectually capable of lifting the veil are few.

NKHOI. ET itself is to blame for Grob106. You recall Nwbprop's intraday Jack thread debacle? Part way throught that, what is now known as the B-Team attempted to be helpful with some only slightly scathing posts. They were summarily deleted and further dissent was brutally suppressed. One...

IB only has very bad customer support if you are a very bad customer.
