    POLL: Has Elite Trader become the Fox "News" of trading?

    Daily is as slow as I crawl. As an example, I still have Joe Doaks on detainer so I can use his patented OssiCator investment entry system. I bought SO yesterday near the open (see the loooong bar in the detachment) using it. The bane of my trading existence is that I make more from dibbidents...

    POLL: Has Elite Trader become the Fox "News" of trading?

    Indeed. Where jerky quantum processes long to be continuous and the misty Nagual coalesces into the concrete Tonal. I would live there, but EasySignal does not support studies on tick charts. That is also the Never-Never Land of Wanna Believe where Jack's brain farts percolate up into his...

    POLL: Has Elite Trader become the Fox "News" of trading?

    I am fine as frog hair myself, so I am not really qualified to offer psychagogical advice to you on your desordre. I will merely remark in pissing that I primarily watch a one-second chart which makes it quite clear that the markets are semi-quasi-pseudo-random. Somehow the resulting sense of...

    POLL: Has Elite Trader become the Fox "News" of trading?

    'Vitch, you iced your rep as ET's funniest immoderator by moving this thread to Backfeed. Its next stop should be Psych, because M. Taon is demonstrably a serious trader, has been for many years, and in PMs is a very private and reserved person, yet he finds time to get embroiled in numbrous low...

    Day Traders: Losing Days

    I am a broken record. And you are a scratchy needle. The only way to fix the problems you describe is to codify your systems into sets of clear, simple, unambiguous rules, create algorithms for them, code, backtest and optimize. After you have had some months of stable system performance in...

    How to increase profit without increasing size?

    Only two processess will tell you what to do and give you the confidence to do it. One: enter trading therapy with me for two hours every day at $1000 a day for a year. Or two: write down your trade rules simply and unambiguously, convert them to algorithms, code, test, optimize and...

    Today I Put Jack on "Ignore"

    A progress report. I have been Jackless for over a week now. At first I feared that despite having him on ignore I would see posts where his respondents had quoted him. But blissfully that was not the case. As it turns out, the only quoter is Jack himself. So I am safe.

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    After a lengthy correspondence, I agreed to meet someone in person. The next morning I woke up a smelly bed in a dark trashy motel room nauseated, with a splitting headache, and with vision so blurred I could barely see where I was. My head was butted up against the headboard. My feet were...

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    Very good! Voting Republican? Or Republicans voting? Always remember this year's South Carolina senatorial primary, where Republicans crossed over in the open primary to help an unknown unqualified black candidate win the Democratic nomination. Gotta love Southern politics!

    How do you handle someone asking you about trading stocks, etc?

    I tell people: "Remember all those times your 401K cratered and you lost years worth of contributions? Yeah? Well that was guys like me did it." End of discussion.

    Stops - do you want them?

    When I run forward tests I am never surprised because I backtested.

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    Thanks for the clarification. My point is that everyone who trades already has a data provider and/or trading platform. If you want people to switch based on advertising, the new platform had better come with a blowjob attachment.

    "I would have moved it to the "Canadians Obsessed with American Politics" forum, but alas, there is no such forum here." And they said you had no sense of humor!

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    And, I might add, you post in the places you are most likely to be mightily abused for your views. And if you don't, moderation will surely relocate you there. Now that you have poosted here, this thread will be moved to P&R.

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    It is really quite sad. I cannot help comparing his version of his life to my own reality. Let us say that for a single day in the 70's I was part of a mismanagement insulting tiger team assessing the likelihood of success of a business strategy at an obscure beltway bandit unit of GE engaged in...

    Stops - do you want them?

    That is a typical assertion of people who don't backtest.
