Most likely because you were ready for it.

The "Frederick" part is a nice touch. Classy. :)

His high point appears to have been Day of the Jackal, but he's not starving. Perhaps you could get together with Harry Hindsight.

As we're not looking for the same things, I can't say. My disagreements with LF, however, are due to much more than randomness and noise. :) Incidentally, can I assume that you're a Forsyth fan?

Every moment need not be tradeable to convey information. Every print tells you something. Just ask successful scalpers. Take, for example, being stopped out (or stopping oneself out). Most beginners will consider that to be a failure. They never even think about what the market has told them...

Only to the extent that traders trade randomly. Let us know how that works out for you. As for the "stoopid" part, learn how the market works, then get back to us.

Christian fundamentalism is a capitalist construct: The secret history of American religion

A Slayer from elsewhere posted this. It may be of interest.

Who cares? :) In some ways, your post refers back to the old "assigning meaning" and "ownership of the problem" stuff from decades ago. And certainly "assigning meaning" is important with regard to the tendency/need of those who believe that everything revolves around them to come up with...

Correct. If one has the risk tolerance, just trade it as W would. Today, for example, short the lower high, put your stop above the DP, and relax. That particular trade was worth about 30pts before the trendline was broken.

Exactly.

I beg your pardon? :)

I wonder if this is all now such a big deal because people have been so self-involved for so long (about 35 years, to be exact). I see nothing revelatory about focusing on something outside oneself, but this may not be de rigeur.

OTOH, you have a DB, or the conditions for one. If price doesn't break, you have to be prepared for a continuation on the long side.

Let's say hostile, then. And straight lines are hardly mechanical if they track the balance between demand and supply, which changes tick by tick. In any event, may you enjoy continued success.

Turn it all over to the private sector. People are going to love toll roads and toll bridges. Everywhere. And as there won't be any trains . . .

The market, though, is not about engineering; it's about behavior. If it's noise to you, that's fine. Nothing to get angry about.

And here we test this level again. Three times. What magical attraction is there to 37?

To me, it's information, but to most people there's no information in it. Not that it's worth arguing about. My point is that the noise thing has become conventional wisdom, but just because something is conventional that doesn't make it wise.

Yes, there are, and why can't people understand that? I've tried your way and it doesn't work for me. I've tried Handle's way (though not exhaustively) and it doesn't work for me. I've tried Monoid's way (what I understand of it) and it doesn't work for me. I've tried NoDoji's way and it...
