New Indicator

Hypostomus et al,

While your offerings are compelling for those of us who take trading seriously, there are two notable flaws or oversights in your marketing scheme that will likely limit the penetration potential of your intended audience. Those key flaws are followed by a few ancillary shortcomings.

First, none of you has won a trading contest many years ago under questionable circumstances. Without that sort of background, how far do you really expect to go in this business? In the alternate, perhaps one of your principals has won a lottery or some other random chance contest in the distant past. If so, try to shore up some credibility by writing a how-to book on the subject. Gentlemen, if you want to attract a suitable audience, you need to set the stage.

When you have your house in order, you should then look into incorporating the principles of MLM into your strategy. Nothing enhances the credibility of a product or service like Multi-Level Marketing. You need the aura of professionalism, objectivity and science that only MLM can give you. That, and better chart colors.

And now for the ancillary items. Although one of your group members has taken the initiative to misspell a few words, the effort was decidedly half-hearted, at best. And that is was intentional points to a certain disingenuousness which leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy. Further, your text is vaguely comprehensible. That, alone, is a non-starter among the top-tier in this business. And finally, none of your performance claims are blatantly outrageous to the extreme. Gentlemen, make a decision. Are you on the boat or off the boat? What kind of popsicle stand are you running anyway?

Quote from hypostomus:

Hypenterprises is overjoyed, bordering on multiply orgasmic, to announce the completion of the SCT-Extended Hypiracle Suite of stock index future trading studies for Easy-Signal. We call them studies because you will have to study them real hard to understand how to use them profitably. We call the suite Hypiracle because, like its inspiration, SCT-Unextended, the individual studies do not test with positive expectancy, but, mirabile dictu!, they all miraculously work together.

In the attachment you can see how the suite enervatively provides the stock index futures trader everything he needs to know to make money flow. In the top pane we see the Hypestimator, the modern replacement for the averaging move. This is such an accurate estimator of price that we do not even need price any more, hence its suppression in the chart. We are assuming here that as experienced SCT-Unextended traders, you have alrady have volume on your basic chart. Since according to the Hershey canon, volume leads price, I am sure you will agree with us that as it is a dependent variable we do not need price at all.

That pane also shows the Hypenvelope, an volatility band type study useful for telling if price is getting too uppity (or downity). The Hypenvelope is used solely for guessing exits. Exhausting tests show that unfortunately it calls entries late, but calling exits late is not a problem, since everybody exits that way anyway.

In the second pane from the top you can see the Hyposculator, an oscillator-type study, which tells you when to kiss your trade goodbye. Do not be confused, it is not an entry signal, it is only for exits. The value of an oscillator is that it confirms for you what is already perfectly obvious in the price. That is another reason why we suppress price in the Hypiracle suite: like a Gorgon or a stunningly beautiful woman, price is hard to look at comfortably.

The third pane from the top is the Hypolatility indicator, a range signal which tells you when the price range supports trading. The fuchsia shading suggests that now would be a good time to surf ET, look for newly posted pornography and/or play with yourself, drink a beer, or take a nap.

The crowning touch is in the bottom pane. The Hypautomator removes all worries about entries and exits and relieves you of the intense embarrassment of making poor trades. Green Light? Go long! Red Light? Short! We are astonished ourselves at how often this random entry/exit generator is right. But just in case, don't forget your SCT "washes". We also encourage you in the interest of thoroughness to soak, rinse and dry as well.

We are so confident in the efficacy of the Hypiracle Suite that we will cheerfully take the other side of your trades. Just join our chat room at:

to participate in our trade calls. From all of us at Hypenterprises to all of you on ET, let me state with the utmost sincerity that we look forward to trading with you tomorrow!
What??? No Modigliani? No guassians? No fractals? No 4% to 7% daily returns? No rockets or icebergs? No Boolean algebra or Jokari windows? No llamas? No three ring binders? No paradigms? No camtasias?
 
I agree. No reputable system is complete without a little Modigliani. Alas, I regret to announce the demise of Hypenterprises International. We has only enough capital to sustain operations for 48 hours, and I am forced to return to dishonest manual labor for my daily Gloria. You will not hear from me again until I can refund my trading account, which will be a while. IB's $2K minimum takes a long time to accumulate working at minimum wage. In truth, I was merely filling the posting humor void here until Jack came back. "Adieu, adieu!...remember me."

Your Modigliani:

Hypostomus,

No llamas, paradigms or camtasias?! Good lord! There is no shame in being an upstart dipstick outfit, but neither is there a need to broadcast this fact.

Fortunately, I'm here to help. You will note that your offering does not provide a complete, turnkey package that requires no thinking, creativity or preparation. It is only when you offer everything that is required to make money mindlessly that the real entrepreneurs begin to take notice. Therefore, consider what is required. First, you need an entry signal or indicator. This item should automatically advise the rugged individualists whom you wish to attract the size of the position that they should take. This indicator must be followed by another indicator or setup clearly spelling out when your master trader clients should add to, or reduce from, their trade or exit it completely. Naturally, a clearly defined and color-coordinated indicator is required for re-entry purposes in interim circumstances.

But, perhaps most importantly, you require an indicator that sings to the human nature of each trader you wish to attract as a client. I am referring to the inherent need to get even. Even the best laid plans of mice and gargoyles occasionally fail, and fail masterfully. In such cases, revenge trading is the only remedy. Therefore, you will need to add to your suite of products a Victory Indicator that will address a trader's visceral needs at such times. The Victory Indicator may be referred to as the V Indicator or, perhaps even better, as the Vindicator. (Product names directed at a discerning market such as desperate novice traders require some cachet. Consider Larry Williams's "Money Tree" newsletter or his regular reference to the "keys to the kingdom.")

And above all, you need to overcharge for your dubious services. Only then will anyone recognize the value of what you have to offer.
 
T-DOGG, when I have replenished my whore chest after losing all my grubstake trading my own system, I shall incorporate your fine improvements. Clearly my failure was in requiring my clients to make their own decisions. I'll not make that mistake on Hypiracle V2.0. I will incorporate a link to IB that FORCES them to take my signals with the size and stops I specify based on character interviews with them. That way I will be assured that there is sufficient liquidity to support my own inverse trading. Many thanks for your helpful suggestions.
 
Greetings Hypo,

I have a quick question. You have earlier mentioned and advised on always using market orders and not limit orders.

If you have a sec, could you tell me the reasoning behind this approach?

Thanks!
