    Don’t DEFEAT yourself before the trade is over!

    Can you get into a businessman's orientation? Good. Write out a free standing business plan for "selling signals" as an adjunct to your Corporate Book. Now look at the rest of the profit sectors (goods, sevices, and investments of capital) in the corporate book. Make notes on where...

    Do Trendlines work?

    So try to get yourself out of the physical world. We are talking about making money. We all know data streams to us and we see the data moving on displays. We get to view turning points ahead of time on several kinds of displays. That is common knowledge. Lets say there is one in view...

    Do Trendlines work?

    We can get into how differnet things are important at different times. It is easy to reason through the notion that a person has to be able to see the markets and know what is going on. We all recognize that. The shift from EMH to AMH was an advent that put behavioral finance on the map at...

    Do Trendlines work?

    I can't answer your question. The group I work for did remove uncertainty from the space we are using to trade. We know that we know. The mathematical expression is: the sweep is possible. It comes from info gap theory a non probabalistic way of looking at stuff. The maths are as I have...

    Do Trendlines work?

    On the other side of Occam is a space where where you look at dividing things up into least connected regions. I'm sure you are familiar with A's Method. The point is to not have any redundancy and to only be illuminating the degrees of freedom that are required at that place in time. I refer...

    Sorry about that. It is just a schedule of about 18 stocks to trade this week by using four streams of capital. There are three batters for each stream, mimimum and three pinch hitters at the bottom. The streams went off as planned in the first hour and they will be 3 days holds...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Thanks so much for your response and your comments on where you operate. I'm getting a lot more data than you are. I didn't realize that from your posts. I certainly agree with you that sidelining when the risk goes way up is a very good idea under probabalistic conditions. When I look...

    Do Trendlines work?

    Moving out of the probabalistic arena is not arcane. How many degrees of freedom do you advocate for maintaining a data base. If you are able, please reflect on this as a general question since we use different methods. I am oriented to channels and their information content for price...

    Uncertainty and Risk in Short-Term Trading

    Thanks for standing in for Joe. I have purchased some of Joe's books. They are available twice a year in Tucson. The public library collects books and sorts them onto tables and shelves at its warehouse. They have people price them by a coding system. Joe is in the 1 dollar category. I...

    Uncertainty and Risk in Short-Term Trading

    Joe turns out to be incorrect. The statement he is making is to direct a person to a particular style of trading he advocates. He does a thing he calls trending and consolidating in an 15 to 85% proportion. If anyone remembers the wharton school graduate "Mr. Market" you will see the...

    Do Trendlines work?

    lol... The Bobsie twins strike again. When we chat about our growing up experiences it is spooky. There is something really great about what is happening in the world. A lot of like minded people are finding each other.

    Do Trendlines work?

    Trendlines (RTL's) and their counterparts, left trendlines, form concurrent psychological boundaries on all concurrent levels of trader activity. Think of any number of nested channels. See nested in info gap theory. Below I am using the compliment of nesting, however (contraction (knowing...

    The cycles in the markets can be complex but, usually, they can be handled quite simply. Most of trading is counterintuitive as has been shown. I stick with what the market dictates and most of the time three concurrent cycles are being integrated as a simple consequence of the trading...

    You are expressing a choice of one system or another. It may be possible that this choice is not available to others than those in your class of trading activity. You and I have had the opportunity to make the choice and now you are one of the giants of automated trading. My compromise...

    A world where the Efficient Market Hypothesis is strongly real is a world without the

    Here is a thought for you. Consider EMH as a measure of the status of the market. An organization can deal with how well the status is reported or they can deal, over time, with the differing accurately reported set of statuses that occur over time. chose daily as a warm up drill. SAC...
