Euuuuuw! Why am I a fag magnet? I am convinced that ET targets ads to you based on your reading habits. Lately the SpreadProfessor has been popping up on my screen. Unhhh!

Back in the 70's it was thought that one high paying job created six low paying jobs to service the high roller. I'll volunteer. I have been out of work so long my wife makes me say I am retired.

666, that very post is what finally pushed me over the edge to put him on ignore. Fabulous profits in only one day led to trading four contracts at the end of the day as I recall. Here is my take. Advertising here is humor. But the reverse is not necessarily true. I put Jack on ignore because...

Oh, my, Mizzi! Whatever made you think the Sharpe ratio was worth a shit as an indicator of strategy goodness? Do you put Sharpe ratios in your bank account?

All good points. I am a gold bug, so I admire the late Roy Jastram's "The Golden Constant", showing what a loaf of bread has cost in gold over the centuries. But let's get more basic. You brought up disaster. Fundmental need: pussy. Fundamental unit of luxury trade in a disaster: a Hershey bar...

Consider today. The futures markets are open, but the stock markets aren't. So nobody knows what the fuck anything is really worth. If everybody lazing around today dove in and traded, we could rustle up some wealth out of thin air! Couple of hundred of us sell a contract each, woo ha!

OK, Surdo, I so stipulate! I cannot help being a reflection the client base they clearly want to attract. BTW, your handle reminds me of the girlfriend I had while I was taking freshman calculust: Abscissa Surd.

NinjaTrader thinks ET members cannot sustain reading attention long enough to go from an asterisk in the ad copy to the clarifying note at the bottom of the page: "download NinjaTrader V6 and access all of these tools for free* from a single source" What a difference an asterisk makes...

How prophetic!

Our most senior and revered index futures trader, Jack Hershey, has proven definitively that the DIA cash index moves in advance of ES. You have but to search on Jack, or his star pupil Spydertrader, to find references to the "stretch-squeeze." Wealth beyond your feeble imagining awaits like...

I am sure the advertisers thank you, Mark, for your appreciation of their humor. I do but bring it to your attention. Ridicule may in fact improve the appeal of ET ads. I notice that the pretty boy who looked like he wanted to blow me in the AnyOption ads I reviled here is gone...

T56, thank you for your kind encouragement. Most people here find little room for humor in trading. They would if they could see my daily execution reports. I apologize for not being accessible by PM. I had a very bad experience once that made my shy away everafter. Also I believe in spreading...

Next let us consider LightSpeed. I can save you the trouble of watching their featured video "The Unfair Advantages of Trading with LightSpeed." They offer, gasp! Charting! In multiple time frames! Level Two! Indicators! Oscillators! News! A chat board! Unfair, I say! To offer such innovations...

All of Jack Hershey's threads were deleted.

On those rare occasions when an ET advertisement seizes my involuntary attention by its blatant stupidity or offensiveness, I am momentarily motivated to offer helpful advert advice, having for five years a couple of lifetimes ago written ad copy for my own retail business. My fit of generosity...

Thanks so much for explaining what you are doing. I will disturb your excellent thread no more. You have my insincere best wishes for your success!

If I may, I would like to ask why you see this as a long-only setup? Superficially it looks to me like it should work short also.

Oh. OK. That makes a much better story. But Liz with an AK? Not her style. I fantasize a six-inch metal tipped spike stiletto mule held by the toe (my own weapon of choice). Years ago you could Google her and find photos of her that made me fall desperately in love (I am an old guy). Once I had...

My dear Donna, I could not possibly have creeped you out in one second as fast as Jack creeped me out saying you had come to visit him at his house, one hopes when Saint Liz was home. But I forgive you anyway. I trade off of one second for a variety of reasons. First, my systems are designed to...

Thanks again for explaining. I trade off of one second and one minute, so I was having trouble understanding it from your triple-screen. Nice setup!
