    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Summary of Dynamics: 1) Human nature dynamic: Greed and self interest = get as much as possible while giving as little as possible. 2) Human ego: What I've discovered is potentially really great, if I could just refine it a bit, why should I share my best stuff until I know I'm getting...

    Taking $5K to $250K by year end

    Thanks for the additional rule; Obviously, I missed reading it. Anyone who wishes can update the spread sheet. I believe that after 8,000 and adding a contract every 1,000 would cause additions to accelerate and you would be adding contracts more frequently than you presently think you...

    Taking $5K to $250K by year end

    i posted this yesterday pm but it may not have stuck. Tking 2 contracts to 15 in about a quarter is possible by using a 2 point bracket on a 15 minute chart. How does this transition work out in terms other than a projection using two data points and a rule? I believe other things come...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    It does take a long time to complete the loop on why people with money (Those who wish others to manage the money making job.) cannot use it to make money, ordinarily. The largest sink (unlimited) for making money is sector rotation. The financial sector is very badly off right now and it is...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    I'm an EE and graduated in '55. I was a member and subsribed to the Proceedings for a while. Is this the first year that they have done this contest oriented thing? I know the membership is probably oriented to electronics and maybe programming using electronics. By not using good data...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Magellan passage looks flat to me (see attached). Also note the wake has an abrupt jog. The tidal currents in the passage are really incredible. Must be a random thingy. I had to reduce this shot rom 1.34m to 40k to be able to attach it in ET. We had breezes from the west that ran 40...

    The fear of trading edge becoming inefficient?

    Hi cocaine, the clock is now running to see how long it will take T28 to switch from 26% to 24%. It took a while for him to raise his original 24 to 26%. As Spyder observed, it takes a little nudge now and then to keep the advertizing team on point here and elsewhere.

    Jack Hershey, please help

    like the chart that was posted. I annotated it with a crayola 101 measure. The zones of one times, two times and three potato are just a little nudge so that what the market offers is there to see. (H-L) x 3 = 75 points was there for sure So were 50 reversal trades. Doing 15 or 20...

    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    I tried to respond to your post. It was too long they told me and when hit the back arrow it was destroyed as usual. Sorry. I use three mechanical systems. Do a search on the properties of mechanical systems and their capabilities. trading varies according to how good the system is that...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Very cool and the humor is there too. NYT and Nature trump the Lo to be thanked crew of the late 80's. What a list to trump. It is very good to make successive discoveries of what is at hand; what is really at hand. Jumping the threshold is a great thrust because it puts to rest so many...

    Jack Hershey, please help

    OP, Here is a simple way to begin. Go to the Journal that started last year. Print the first volume of the edited version of January (2007). Work your way through it over the next calendar month (30 days). At the end of this month's work print the next editied month. If you do...

    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    I like that statement you make on what you think I said. It is: "required multiple confrmations required to pull the trigger" Reversing is what is being done. The best time to reverse is when the profit segment has expired and another is beginning. Confirming a reversal is not...

    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    Thanks for the insightful Q's. A static pic is not too informative as we know but I am just programming the person who asked for the snagit (several have commented). I referenced a doc of 77 pages that did show some of the dynamic in illustrations. the present tack being used, however, is to...

    What if a trade doesn't immediately move in your favor?

    Thank you for your atttention and this phishing comment. I admit the Whiz was short and I'm glad Toto is here to pull the curtain back by coaching me in how to help the OP out. Basically I stand on my record of contributions and I understand why you see me on a pedestal; there are a lot of...

    The fear of trading edge becoming inefficient?

    Babak, coincidently was the first person I put on ignore. A some point I was banned as jack hershey and after a few iterations I was given my name back and a password. In doing this, it turns out that I cannot reinstate Babak from the ignore status since, when reinstated as described, it did...
