Hypostomus' proposterous surreal-time journal

Quote from hypostomus:

...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.

I concur. It is precisely because of the digital analysis capability that I favor sandal footwear.

As an aside, I require some immediate counsel regarding a business opportunity that was recently made available to me. It is a multi-level marketing scheme, nay, "model" promoting a natural herbal supplement guaranteed to enhance the user's trading acumen by between 38.2% and 61.8% within 3 waves or 14 days, whichever comes first. The only downside is that it is in the form of a rather large and awkwardly shaped suppository. However, the promoters tout it as "holistic" medicine. What is your take on this matter?
 
...our faithful allies Les Francais historically prefer the use of les suppositoires, even for those conditions where oral medicaments would be more efficatious. I think you are on to something here. But for the domestic market it must be given a flavor which that end of the alimentary canal can "taste". I have found that red hot chile pepper residue works well. But why are you not asking me a question about Le Systeme? Our mission is to make the entire world rich so that their tithes will be mighty. But first they must be converted.

Caveat emptor re those generators. The Dept of Commerce has issued a cautionary that the Japanese have been flooding the market with cheap imitations that fall apart in 38 days.

I hate when that happens.

Assuming that I don't get too drunk and forget, on Monday 20 October 2003 (that is a trading day, isn't it?), and assuming that the objections are not overwhelming, I shall post, one time only, free, gratis, gratuit, a connect-the-dots morning trading plan for NQ.

Thank God, it's for one day only! :D

This must already be available. How else would you account for the behavior of, for example, Grob? Or Scientist?
 
"All times are in whatever time zone you are trading from (a trick I cheerfully plagiarized from Grob109)."

LOL AHAHAHAHHAAA. o the pinnacle of lunacy...........
 
Hypostomus! Where are you? I followed your instructions to the letter yesterday, and I'm still not sure: did we make any money?

More importantly, what about today? How am I supposed to be a free-thinking, independent trader unless you tell me exactly what to do and when to do it?
 
We regret to inform you that yesterday's series of posts under the pseudonym "Hypostomus" were the ravings of one of our more unstable and erratic patients here. Somehow over the past few weeks he had managed to pirate the password of a staff member who had not used his ET account for many months, and to log on as that staff member. Up until yesterday afternoon that patient had internet access in our day room on account of prior good behavior, which was suspiciously good in hindsight.

As best we can surmise, he was "tongueing" his meds, desperate to reachieve the fast-paced satisfactions of a manic high. He will trouble you no more, as we have placed him under the strictist supervision. The ET member whose identity he highjacked looked at the market, and observed that no possible harm could have come to anyone who unwisely followed the posted advice, as no trade was triggered by the alleged "rules." Therefore this institution bears no liability for that patient's acts. Frankly, we think it should have been perfectly obvious to anyone with good sense that the poster was a madman, and that no person of good judgment could have been deceived.

As an aside, we frequently encounter patients here who have delusions that they can "beat the market." The staff opinion is that this is ordinarily a harmless fantasy, if one does not indulge it excessively.

Good day to you. Arthur (Art) Deco, M.D.
