Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

I have a new trading method to share with you that really works. You open all the windows, crank up the stereo to deafening, crank the bass all the way up, max out the subwoofer volume, and play a song appropriate to the trading circumstance. Today it was:

"Break on through to the other side!"

Also, I have a challenge for Jack. He touts 3X the daily range. Today, I issue this challenge to him: make 8X the indicated system profit by second guessing it. Which is what I did today with my system (this may be funny, but it is not a joke).

there you go a 9m leading indicator.

Well, in fact our entry followed an FTT (which we assiduosly ignore as a matter of principle), a failed test of the LOD, a perfectly formed volme peak, a higher low (forming an inverted head and shoulders), breaking the previous high, and breaking every conceivable MA. We are very hardheaded. Or the system is. Do hardheaded people design hardheaded systems?

Time to come over and play with JH, Spydie and gang .
Btw, got out at 1480.25 around 1323pm TT (Texas Time).

This is weird as I was drinking, listening to Pink Floyd, and finishing up my 1040, when I heard a CNBC drone mention the Dow set an all time record.

I had to see what was going on and opened up my Tradestation and after annotating my chart, saw this trade.

Thunderdog, tired of harrassing "you-know-who"? Over here we say, if you cain't likkem, jine 'em! So we are espousing our own bogus systems, one daily and one intraday. Great fun!
