Old Possum's Book of Practical Charts

I am glad to hear that you will be around to harrumph at ET a while longer. Terninally serious, huh? Me too. Or I wouldn't have spent the last six years trying so hard to learn to trade profitably. Along the way I have discovered much foolishness, both inside and out, which is the source of my posting.

Don't like to be wrong, huh? Well the only cure for that is not to be. The trade rationales I post are just cover stories for what I really do, which is neo-phoenixian. But I can't tell because it works too well.

Re Conover, I am surprised that you keep digging in that direction. I have found that ignoring all of my math and engineering training has been the best approach to trading. The only part of that I use anymore is coding.

Now if I had a psych background, like the Phoenix...

John,
If you wouldn't be there yet, I reckon it sounds like you should be pretty close.

Be good,
nononsense
 
The fly in the ointment of my TA-based economic analysis is this: although gold, as predicted, is up, the yield on the ten year note is down. Bullishly bearish?

I am sure that was a brilliant comment, but I didn't get it. Explain, please?

Even in seemingly remote considerations, Newton's the man.
 
Growltiger was a Bravo Cat, who travelled on a barge:
In fact he was the roughtest cat that ever roamed at large.
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims,
Rejoicing in his title of `The Terror of the Thames'.

Well, Conover's work proved to be a nice thread to tie in with my own which, although I've promised to elaborate more on in my journal, I haven't followed through with, yet. But, I will, Iwill. Seee you later, Merchant.
 
I exited a perfectly good short (the top two executcheons in the detachment, all trades PT) when I heard your drawling voice say in my head "Expect a test of the LOD!" Never trust a damned Southern trader! You cracker!
