Indeed, developing a trading system is like a puzzle. With the pieces face down. But if you keep at it, and lose enough money to make the lessons stick, you find two pieces that fit together. And they are trivially simple, like discovering THE EMA that makes sense of a particular time frame...

I am an old Neoxx. The truth, which I rarely tell, I that my screen is set up like a Pachinko machine with all the S/R I have been able to discover in the time frames of one day, ten minutes, five minutes, one minute, and one second. Of course there are some I don't know yet, but I am getting...

Yes, I am into classical myself. Possibly the subject of a new thread. In particular I love Renaissance lute music, have recordings of nearly everything burned in the last 30 years. Re SCT, I have taken from it what is useful, as did Todd and Mr_Black. I have also cheerfully plagiarized the...

Thank you for accepting my invitation. I respectfully request that the denizens of our rowdiest and most irreverantly iconoclastic subculture, the B-Team, refrain from the obligatory Bronx cheers on the subject and give Tara some room to work. As our esteemed Dr. Deco once paraphrased Carl Jung...

My advice is to go back to SCT first principles. Nail the first trade of the day on bar 2 like Jack says to. Often your first trade is your best trade.

Teasinggtara posted a disturbing thesis in Strategy about the supposed susceptibility of ET readers to unconscious manipulation by hypnotic masters. She firmly believes that the subject of her study is a Svangalic genius in print persuasion. I think he is just a harmlessly loquacious old fool...

BTW, here's the kind of scalp elderly traders take when they deathly fear they'll forget they were IN a trade, much less WHY. Only a 31 second attention span! So sad!

Thank you for getting it. The attached is for you alone. So if they don't expect old farts like me to be wheeled through the back double doors of funeral homes on our merry way to be eviscerated pickled and rouged, what does the market think we'll be doing? Lingering comfortably in long term...

What is the market telling you about your future? Well, contrary to popular belief, you are going to live longer. Must be true, because funerary services are down. Or is the very opposite true, and you should be buying that industry because it's a helluva deal? (More to follow)

Indeed, JJ. ET would rather chase the PROMISE of 100% of the available profits rather than the CERTAINTY of 50%, hahaha! "Doaks' system is soooo pathetic! We can clearly see that! Whereas Jack's is superior, which we can't." Jack, why can't you make SCT a stoplight? We already know the answer...

Yoohoo, what is sad about it? Remember, keep it simple, as I am manifestly an idiot.

Brownsfan, the sogenannten "magical indicator" can be reverse-engineered by any half-wit willing to search on Joe Doaks' posts. But you miss the point. SCT is too fucking complicated for the average (or below-average) ETer. Such a fuck-wit (Neoxx qualifies) needs a SIMPLE system. Unlike Jacko, I...

Neoxx, can you see colo(u)rs (perhaps Jack needed to write in the King's English)? Look at the attchment and tell me what colo(u)rs you see in the study pane at the bottom of the chart.

Neoxx, I would be happy to teach you TDT. Do not despair. You need a guru as stupid as you are. I'm your man! See my new thread.

Why do you feel obliged to make trading so complicated, Jack?

How about a recent example (not '99)? I would like to compare it to what I do (complexicated vs. sinful).

Kindly help an old man find the wealthy SCT traders. I have watched for them on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". Looked for them in interviews in Active Trader. Searched in vain for them to opine in "Heard on the Street". I guess I also missed their interviews with Maria Bartiromo. Can...

Quick, Jack! Should we be in euros or dollars? TDT tells you instantly when you pull up the chart. How long would you have to think about it using SCT? <img src=http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2131009>

The quintessential TDT scalp: one bottle of primo California champagne in 11 seconds.

Hypo is sedated, but I think he would reply: Yes, I thought that, too. Lots of people who fancy themselves traders don't know how to short. Or are perineal (sic) bulls, and are now counter-trend trading. Also, the quality of posting is even worse than usual, if that is possible. Gresham's...
