    The Stochastic Indicator

    LOL! Nice post. I do my job in the Trading Forum. If your post were there, it would have been deleted already. Fortunately for you, I cannot edit outside of the Trading Forum. So why don't you come over to the Trading Forum and post this crap and see just how well I do my job! You know...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    Jack, There are so many who praise you and seek your market wisdom, yet you let the few who don't ruin your day. Let it go. Certainly a person of your experiences realizes that you will never please everyone. My suggestion is that you continue to present your strategies here and elsewhere...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    Hi Jack! Clearly you mean a lot to a number of members. The success of this thread speaks to that. Not all members perceive you as you wish to be perceived. Respect is something earned, not demanded. Demanding it is a sure way to never get it. I read your posts in the Trading Forum. I...

    Is it really an Edge?

    I'm guessing you mean the 15/200, or maybe the pivots? Or.... how self-centered of me, you might not be talking to me! :D I will presume you are though and say I unerstand what you mean I think. And to an extent I agree with you. Although, really... does it become a non-random entry because...

    Is it really an Edge?

    Why do you need wide stops with a random entry? That is entirely inaccurate. The key is not to trade intrabar. That is where you can get chopped. Trading a moving average is pretty close to trading a line in the sand. Long above the line, short below it. Take a look at the CSCO 15/200 thread...

    A few newbie questions

    I have posted this before elsewhere, so I apologize for the redundancy. Shoe', I seem to recall from other threads that you are a technical trader, versus fundamental. I will presume that is true. When you are looking at historical charts, say over the past 18-24 months, do you ever go to the...

    LOLOL! I am now a crusty, hair-in-the-ears, foul-smelling old man with no sense of humor sitting on an innertube to relieve the pain in my 'rhoids!

    LOL! It has been like this the last 4 Augusts at least. Not only that, but the level of causticity on ET rises during this month and the first 2 weeks or so of Sep. :eek:

    who are the real traders on ET?

    PrivateIsland, there is a massive amount of truth to what bungrider said, and maxpi, and the other serious posts. The other posts are clearly boredom relief for those of us who didn't take vacation this month. :( There is a ton of wealth on ET for you PI, like most everything else, you have to...

    Not worth the price! Do your best to make that trade and don't give away the farm just to get a copy.

    Is it really an Edge?

    You are exactly rght. Perhaps I phrased it incorrectly when I said 'net a 1/2 point per day.' I meant to imply after costs. Actually I don't scalp either, so the real numbers that you provide are an education. Thanks!

    Is it really an Edge?

    Well, if the scalper can net 1/2 point per day for 20 days (~ 1 trading month) and the trend trader hangs in and picks up 10 points in the same time frame following a trend... they both end the month the same. The difference is the work involved. The scalper looking for a 10 cent hit, and...

    Trading stocks with the 15 min chart

    Okay I wanted to open this thread again because I think it is important to point out just how profitable a truly simple method can be. Take a look at CSCO on the 15 minute chart with a 200 sma plotted. Be sure to switch back and forth between your line chart and bar/candle chart. The period...

    Is it really an Edge?

    Maybe it isn't the methods that provide the edge. Maybe it is the trader. Maybe the edge is provided by the trader in that he knows how and when to apply the difference tools he has. Anyone can go out and buy a brand new set of Titleist golf clubs. A very fine set, most would agree. Put...

    Yes I edited your post. But I am interested in reading more about your experiences with the presenters. Please be specific, and substantiate your claims with facts. I mean essentially you are saying that the presenters are full of BS. So either they are... or you are. And I don't want to waste...

    EBAY and FNM

    Yeah that is a key point super', about the earnings. NXTL comes to mind when it went from a PE of 70-80 to below 10 in one quarter. Hey, the other shorts you are looking at... any you might like to share? No prob if the answer is no.
