Kiss, kiss! Glad to be your RentaYenta.

You should have asked all the divorced traders what each piece of ass with their ex cost them.

It is the other way around: volatility confirms the current direction.

I am cringing at that image! Surely you are not referring to the short reversals of the last four out of seven days? Painful. Many wasted hours this week have gone into figuiring out how to trade those systematically. The ugly answer was that I could see them developing discretionarily, but...

Don't knock Pristine. It did wonders for me! I rubbed their snake oil all over my head every night before bed and now I am only partly bald. I drank a spoonfull of it at every bedtime and now I only shit eight times a day. Oh, and cut into my morning enema, it made me so nauseous I lost all that...

I forget. But I wasted a significant part of my nonrenewable mental resources parsing the method and backtesting the pieces. Likely it was in 2004. I'm a slow learner.

Hahahahaha! My story is that I made a ton of money on dead cat bounces because nobody could believe it was really as bad as it appeared to be.

You mean converting bullshit into energy?

Pension, my solution was to guide pre-existing multiple personalities into each of the roles required of an independent trader. One is an algorithm expert, another a crack coder. One watches every tick with the utmost patience, as only a compulsive can, looking for patterns for the others to...

What do you know, you ain't even Buddhist? It means "be your own guru." Go read Babba Ram Dass.

Obviously you cannot distinguish pathos from humor. Trying to be your own guru produces results not unlike trying other things recommended on ET.

I read today elsewhere here the excellent advice to be your own guru. I have always believed this to be true in the vein of "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him!", but I had never tried it in practice. Until today: MeMe: Oh Great and Wondrous Guru! Will you teach me how to trade and...

The cure to this and all other trading ills is disciplined rigorous adherence to a thoroughly backtested system. I am ceaselessly amazed at all the bullshit that swirls around proper mental attitude and mental control in trading. No doubt written by posters who are not systematic traders.

Stosh, there are two kinds of "Stops"! A gun only says one of them. A tested system says the other.

OMG! You fire offhand as well! No disrespect, but I favor toy guns I can carry concealed. A small triumph yesterday, the wife asked while we were out, "Are you packing?" If she couldn't tell, nobody could tell. But getting back to trading, there is just something totally soothing and relaxing...

Instead of superficial appearance improvements, how about something USEFUL, like an autotrading interface to IB?

I don't want all that fancy shit. Will my old page still display as before?

The original pepper spray! Very old-fashioned. Do you wear a cowboy hat with it? You must be a stout fellow, because I don't think I'd fire a 3-inch 12 gauge out of a gun that light.

This could alleviate a lot of bitchiness on ET: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1127636/
