    You are so bad! HighJACKing Sapp's thread to Jactify it! How long have you had that just waiting for the stone to be rolled away? BTW, Jason, again I apologize for the intrusion, but "Welcome to ET!" You might just make a faith of leap and try Jack's SCT. Todd swears it works, and teaches it...

    666, we imagined it. It was Jack's ghost, back from the dead. I guess he found it unseemly that I greeted his reserection with such warmth, perhaps thinking "Euuuuuw! HE was the only one who missed me?" Truth is, my life is empty without Jack. No one else here makes me cry out in exasperbation...

    Jack! Now I can come out from under the bed! Been hard trading under here! Glad you are alive, if even just barely. Hope the hospital gave you back your Pied Piper's flute when you checked out.

    Are YOU back? I thought you understood that I am merely an illiterary construct bearing no relation to my unreal self. As to the necessititty of intellectuality to successful trading, what modest success I have I came by totally adventitiously. My best system I dreamed. Bracketed by two wet...

    Looking for a successful trader

    Really, McCoy? You are just being paranoid! I am sure that Jason is totally sincere. and BTW, everybody who survives as a trader knows that the term "robust edge" is an oxymoron. Every edge is marginal. And often nonsensical or of dubious market logic. Everything conceivable works about half the...

    NoDoji, so sorry. I thought everybody knew. I mean, all you have to do is look at any chart at the end of the day. Any fool can see. Perfectably oblivious.

    Looking for a successful trader

    While we await an intelligent answer, let me offer this. I tend to enter and exit when few other people are trading. If I traded as few as 20 contracts I would be a blip on T&S at those times. And low volume is the best time to trade. And don't imagine for a second that if you attract attention...

    No offense intended. I need something to do not to fall ass-leap during long consolidations. What else am I supposed to do? Keep flogging backtests of a now deceased contract? Fretting that I should have stayed in and suffered through it all doesn't suffice. And we see people say stupider things...

    Kindly do not denigerate code monkeys. I am one myself. And I have found many a profitable system revealed by fat-fingered hasty coding errors that I would never have found reasoning logically.

    Wow! That is some heavy shit infrastructure! Sorry I posted. Please ask the moderators to delete my posts, lest they scare away a potential partner. That sure beats the shit out of "Oh, fuck! There's the bottom! Where'd that "buy" key go to? Did the wife move it again?"

    Looking for a successful trader

    Oh, sorry, you DIDN'T find my system. Basically you are saying yours isn't robust, because it occurs only 13 times a day across the entire universe of trading verhicles. If I were you I would plow every penny I could beg borrow or steal into it right now while it is still randomly working. Then...

    Looking for a successful trader

    Jason, I am sorry to disappoint you, but there is only ONE system that works. You obviously found it too. So there is no point in seeking another one. You'll just have to limp along compounding your quarter mil account at 50% per annum. Life's a bitch, but eventually with that kind of...

    For you, maybe. You're probably trading the new contract. I liked the old one. Made money off it. Bitches took it away. They always do that just when you start making money.

    On a serious note, my NQ H0 data feed from EasySignal hasn't updated since 9:29 ET this morning. And the IB feed is down, too. Anybody know why? Customer support at neither place is returning my calls. Bitches!

    I can tell you from experience that merely looking does not suffice. One must employ the classic forefinger and index finger test. Such good advice I am blessing you with this Quadruple Bitching day.

    So, potential noobs, know ye by this thread that if you start trading, and mirabile dictu!, survive, you will be reduced to spending your waning life suffering through interminable consolidations and terminal annui, boredly responding on ET to posters whom you don't even know, much less know if...

    You laugh. I buy guns and go shooting with my PPP. And drink away what's left weeping the rage of old age.

    Cruel, Boib! But sadly, true. The only big scores I make are trading. If I made a mistake and got it up I would faint from low blood pressure.

    Ah, yes, Danzman, we all seek PPP (Pussy Purchasing Power). Even if we are too old to spend it.
