2051 While looking through my material on the "regression to the mean" approach (in English, "the price comes back to the middle") I found a funjny quote I'd squirrelled away: "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." - attributed to John Maynard Keynes

1700 Been down for awhile - we're having a little weather and a power blip confused one of the gadgets... finally power-cycled the DSL modem AND the SonicWall AND the Router AND the Wireless all at the same time and got the 'net back. Anyway, I had some stuff I was working on when the...

Easy to read, aye. I watch for slowdowns at a turning point, and it's a lot easier to see range (hi/lo) and change (open/close) decreasing with the 'sticks.

1513 Shit fire. Leroy! I'm soaked - that'll teach me to sit here and watch... I'm finally out, with a loss on the trade and a loss for the day... but it coulda been a hell of a lot worse. Trade Summary: 1034 +129600 1511 -129725 --------------- N E T -075 Day 3 trades...

1311 What About Bob? The basic premise of the BoB Lines is that the middle (PP) is the "real" price as of the start of trading, and that the price will tend to bounce back and forth between any two lines, not necessarily adjacent ones. If the price exceeds the outside limits, it signals a...

1304 Back from lunch...my trade is still bad, so far. It's at 129800 right now, -200. But... range and volume are down, and it looks like price may be about to start down, too.

1437 While that was in the process of happening I had a conversation with a client and got to talking about stochastics. In the process of that, I was looking at stochastics on the ES charts, and looking at what he reminded me of, which was a system where you enter after a congested period where...

1328 Entry: +129650 / -129900 Okay, I'm in... but I'm not comfortable... volume's down, range is down... Second-guessing myself, I'm thinking "1299??? Why? It bounced at 1299 already, so why not make it go past the AI (R1)?" Well, we'll just see, won't we? 1359: -129900 S 129600 BE...

If I could figure out how to make Ninja-Trader do that, I'd add it to the setup right now - I gotta ask Vince if it can be done? I think this kind of programmability is in the works but not in the current release, but ya never know - If you don't ask, you don't get.

08/24/2006 12:56 Ahhhh... homemade enchiladas with beans from scratch (not out of a can, soaked overnight and slow-cooked), salad with local farm lettuce and tomatoes from the garden, and a two ounce shot of wheatgrass juice... can't beat it! BUrrrpppp! Let's see, whatta we got...

1107 FINALLY... I wasn't sweating it too hard, because I wasn't looking most of the time - Ninja-Trader seems to take care of the entries and exits pretty well as long as I set it up properly. 1109 129350 + 300 Stop 129450 +200 Follow 100 I have half a mind to bail right effing now...

I'm about a hundred miles from Pecos - mostly south, but a little west. A mile high, on the eastern edge of the Great Chihuahuan Desert. Dry, but not too dry. Couple of weeks of hot, couple of weeks of cold every year... pretty nice the rest of the year. I don't haver A/C, just ceiling fans and...

Been there, done that. Now... I don't don't know what your data feed / charting setup is, but most of them (alright, SOME of them - I'm only familiar with CQG, Esignal, and Ninja Trader) let you export the data showing on your chart, in various formats. You can import data into your...

De nada, cowboy. Glad to help. Here's another one... Assuming col C contains the weekday and col D contains the date, and at least the first row (in your xls, row 23) has a date entered, enter the following formulas for C24 and D24, then copy those two cells down for the next 27, 29, or...

Some folks call it Far West Texas - the Trans-Pecos - the Big Bend. I call it Texhuahua. You start seeing signs along the highways welcoming you to West Texas right after you hit the Fort Worth City Limit headed west... then you drive four or five hundred miles before you get to my house...
