Quote from SrRuthenate:
Ever imagined the amount of crap that the vampire bankers can pack in the 4.4% water that is left on Everclear?.
I never liked water much either, so I dehydrate the 95.6% mixture before distilling it one more time to make sure I kill the germs.
Quote from Argent:
I think perhaps a lower energy way of doing it is freezing. When my wife buys a crap bottle of wine ("This sauterne looks nice!") I freeze it and pour the good stuff out. You realize of course that Everclear is at least six times distilled, so you can't squeeze any more water out it with more distillation.
Quote from SrRuthenate:
That's why my stuff is cheaper than Everclear. I distill once, then pass the stuff through a lime filter to dehydrate it, and then distill again for 99.9999% pure alcohol instead of that 95.6% sissy drink.

It is an inverse thermostat that creates a deadband between the 50ema of the high and the 50 ema of the low.

Quote from zedDoubleNaught:
That's it, of course -- using a deadband combination of the highs and lows. I recently posted a study proving to myself that the summarization of price action over a period of time into a single bar resulted in widely varying opens and closes, depending on offsetting the sampling period. The bar shapes varied as well. However, the highs and lows showed the most consistency. Since most of my indicators and strategies are based on the parts that vary, they've all sucked.
I've been trying to figure out how to recode my indicators so they don't use opens, closes, bar shapes, or bar bodies, only highs and lows (eg like Donchian or Price Channel) --- hmm, "deadbands" may be the way to go .....
