Trade-eater, it's tough to raise cash when your only source of income is recycling fingernail clippings.

Jason, thanks. Trade well. Who knows what is up with Jack? I'd hate to have to take his place just to keep ET aggravated.

Thanks for telling your story. Perhaps it will motivate other would-be traders to give up and get a life. But you and I are stuck here. As I tell people who ask me why I do it: "What else was there for me to do at the end of a mediocre career?" It is appalling that it took (at least us) so long...

Well, it works for me. I do find that the solutions tend to be slightly non-stationary. But you can be assured that I am not getting rich off of it. If I were, I'd hire someone to harrass ET for me and I'd spend all my free time screwing fat lonely old ladies.

Exactement. I am still bored. Right now I am backtesting. Each iteration on my Apple II takes about ten seconds. Barely enough time to scratch your nuts properly, much less do anything else fun. But it's enough time to check ET.

Hahahahaha! Got me! What else do you do when you have a system that works? ET is filled with people who are bored out of their skulls waiting for happy hour to commence. Where else to go until then except to the on-line zoo to torment the animals and dodge the fecal matter they fling at you?

Give an old man credit for being able to learn.

Sorry for doubting your untelligence, Jason. As to second-guessing, if you don't have that impulse and agonize over following it, you close yourself off to new insights and systems. In a typical day I design test and discard about three systems. The funny thing is that a miserably failed system...

And to Mr. Game, I can post because I system trade, and I am done for the day. I don't generally trade for afternoon crumbs. I am not saying that everything Jack says is true, only that what you CAN out find about him is sort of true. Just because you cannot find his breadcrumb trail proves...

Jason, you may call me Art. All my friends do. I cannot dispute with you everything you say about Jack, as, unlike many other lonely purposeless posters here, I do not dote on his every word. But you make it clear that you don't even know what the fuck Jack's name is, or you would have found...

I must object most strenuously to scurrilous personal attacks on Jack. Back when I gave a shit, every time he revealed something personal about himself, I would attempt to verify it. Never did I catch him in a lie where there was public information. Teensie exaggerations, yes. He is in fact a...

Back in my twenties when it first began to occur to me that I might be crazy (don't laugh, it can happen to you), I turned to Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy for a cure. The basic idea being that if you listen to the voices in your head you will come to an understanding of why you are such a...

No doubt you did better than me. I was replaying old Roadrunner cartoons in my head all day and punched out before the top. Yesterday was the dead giveaway. You would have thought that the Fed was about to announce negative interest rates today. Also I find myself corrupting Shakespeare by...

Indeed. A textbook example of a bear flag. Compliments of Cisco.

Sorry, I won't be in my late '90's for another 30 years. But TWS and EasySignal haven't changed much since then.

Upside? The invisible "They" have dragged this market up by its snotty nostrils (see the prevalent daily pattern for the last two weeks). It is poised to rape the profits of selling to unwise longs now.

Glad you are agile enough to type today. I do not read trading books (I stopped at about my thirtieth read) and I do not follow gurus (since I gave up on you). Interesting that your waking fantasies are of converting the "CW" finantical communoty. Mine are of boinking porno queens (the female...

Ever see the Roadrunner run off a cliff?

Jack, who is ghost writing for you? Clearly that is the case, as the message was typed, not dragooned, see the trypo "whay" vice "what," and worse, it makes sense. I want the old Jack back.

I'm thinking....I'm thinking....the answer must be "yes"...to a rhetorical question posed by a virgin poster...but please...next time....ET takes its Spam...with mustard.
