...noblesse oblige! You too are accepted into the brotherhood of trading bhikkus. Life will henceforth be so simple for you. After you have bank wired all of your unholy Mammonic assets to the account number I shall give you, you shall shave your head, don the saffron robe, and become my scribe, answering my adoring mail and endorsing all the the checks. I may even make you keeper of the sacred random number generator. And custodian of the raffle on how long it takes ET to remove this thread. The lack of response to my humble posts proves one thing clearly. You can give the masses a fully disclosed profitable trading system and they will not trade it! That is why the Harry's of the world prosper, and I must take up the begging bowl.
Excellent! I await further instruction so that I, too, may be an independent thinker. In the meantime, could you recommend an appropriate pair of sandals I should wear while trading? Perhaps you already have your own brand to dispense, both backtested and out of sample? I know that the psychology of sensible footwear cannot be overlooked. As for the random number generator you refer to, would it by any chance be a random Fibonacci number generator? That is my personal favorite! It is worth the extra money.
You have bestowed much power on me, great one. Do you not fear that I may take my power and rise up to smote he who was once my master?
...do not jest about the holy relics used in successful trading! The Great One Himself wears a lucky headpiece, a relic beyond price, a Datek gimme cap. He could be persuaded to part with it for an appropriate love offering. He also has numerous lucky pennies, found on the street, picked up like ugly women in the bars at midnight. These too are available, but only to the worthy (wealthy) laymen. My line of designer trading sandals are better than backtested out of sample, infidel! They are forward tested (test, optimize, test, optimize), as all the latter day experts advise. They are open toed, so you may count to twenty ticks without the aid of lazy computational devices. The secret of the random number generator is one that I must reserve for the inner circle. I can only say that I cannot post the holy numbers until the open, as it is used in a highly proprietary way as the seed for the sacred generator. Benedictions upon you, my child.
...no, I have no fear from you. I am aged and infirm, and seek one wise beyond his years to follow in my footsteps. But first you must answer this riddle? Why have none posted that The Great One's guidance kept them from losses this day of miracles? We must admit that there were traders who made money those historic 51 minutes, but it is not they We seek. They are the spawn of the devil, and have sold their souls for mere fleeting profit. Like all great religions, however, WE seek the LOSERS of this blighted world. My system this day would have saved countless LOSERS from the ignominy of the unanswerable question tonight: "How much money did you lose TODAY, bigshot?" My own sainted consort now wisely refrains from this question, because the Great One, because of the Method Revealed to Him in a drunken trance, now makes money and no longer has to work at MacDonald's.
Also, noble disciple, why have none noticed that The Great One's prediction of the minimum opening volume necessary to sustain a breakout was dead-nuts on?
I repeat: THE MASSES SAY THEY CRAVE A DISCLOSED SYSTEM YET THEY HAVE NOT THE FAITH TO TRADE IT WHEN IT IS FREELY GIVEN! O'paradox of paradoxes! THE MASSES REALLY WANT INCOMPREHENSIBLY COMPLEX TRADING SYSTEMS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FAITH IN WHAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. I shall speak no more. I must go tally my non-losses. Peace.

Dude...
...We have wisely contracted with Harry, the master of continuous quality (if not trading) improvement to engage une Societe Francaise to build reliable, if alas costly, RNG's for the Faithful. The French penchant for unpredictability will stand us in good stead in this Holy Endeavor.
