    What do these three situations say to you?

    If you review my IRS statements (public knowledge) you will see income from ET (I get paid to post). The corrolary is that I log my reply time as a business expense. The pro rata time cost in dollars is determined by my trading money velocity as determined by third party observers and their...

    What are the rules of your trading system?

    Here is yesterday (the ES). My comments are based on the system of operation of markets. You mentioned an example, this chart shows your example and it also includes my comment which you presently see as incorrect. Thus my comment is more inclusive. Being totally inclusive is a good...

    you are correct. I did notice that some people do not know the difference betweeen trading costs and settlement of accounts. Let them sweat it out; it is not your job to do any more than what your stated plan says.

    Thanks for your reply. As someone mentioned he is glad he doesn't live in Tucson. We escaped from Phoenix to get here. I came to Phoenix to escape the Philadelphia suburbs. Got the Philadelphia after goofing off in Switzerland for a few years. I escaped from Greenwich to go to...

    What are the rules of your trading system?

    I would be glad to. I use a leading indicator of price for trading. That is why my rules do not include price which lags the independent variable. Please refer to "Putting the Pieces Together" published by Adobe LLamingos, 22JUN2006. (IBD MeetUp Number 5, a Camtasia from which the...

    The same. Volume in any Hypothesis is the IF part. happily, we find price in the THEN part. So now you see the beginning of the invention of the "System of the Operation of the Market". You write out all the IF, ThEN'S to form a hypothesis Set and the name of the Hypothesis Set in...

    What do these three situations say to you?

    Think back to First Form. You see on the white board an expression. It says Y = mx + b. You giggled and could not understand it. Then you saw Y + ax^2 + bx + c on the white board. It was longer and funnier to you. Columbus knew that he was using a power series of the base 10...

    If you are into coding systems like SQL or Haskell, your puzzlement would have been laid to rest. The RDBMS concept is still mostly foreign to the financial industry. In most algebras there are types of variables. To optimize making money it is bet to work with a leading variable of...

    What do these three situations say to you?

    Thanks for the incisive question. you are correct in everything you state. My conclusion is that the transition from a to c must have an unobservable transition from ND to D that is not definable as a "b" turn. so I have been looking at the adjacent volume bar combos and, in particular...

    What do these three situations say to you?

    Some people do and some people do not. I post annotated charts and logs. I would say that most people do not even look at them. I did post some inventions and trading approaches as one pagers. It is possible to do work to learn how the system of the market's operation works. So I did...

    College professors complain their jobs are being taken by online education.

    I always wondered what former hedge fund managers did to fill their days. They espouse MOOCs.

    What do these three situations say to you?

    funny. Try code for coed. as you see in the skeleton, there are four types of trends. for me I call them Set A, B, C and set D. A is to c B is c to a to c C is c to a to b to c (normal three move trend ending in an FTT.) D is drift. Drift means the set C trade gets one or...

    I posted time stamped blotters (prints was my term); I am fairly sure MS does not know how to read such. Neither did Pekelo, ET's defacto head educator.

    What do these three situations say to you?

    FYI All three charts have all bars the same except for the last bar of each chart. The OP is on a quest. I assume most respondents didn't examine the charts properly. So what has been learned by the OP by posting identical charts with the last bar changed. He doesn't say. Brooks...
