Socrates Examines Technical Strategy
- Thread starter Socrates
- Start date
Quote from Socrates:
Well, Dackster, I can only answer truthfully without consideration of the answer's stupidity. Successful market strategists are mental judo artists. They use against the market what it offers. But mine is the answer of an S/R trader, not that of a momo trader. Are you trying to make a Socratic point here? I will add.ress technicals by-the-by in the context of the referenced method.
Socrates,
It was never intended to be a question(s) for you, i thought i was joining in your.....humour towards technical strategy?
I shall cease my endeavours,
Apologies.
No, no! My mistake! Kindly do contribute as you see fit. But I must say that I am aggrieved that you find my attitude toward technicals to be irreverent. In general I believe in S/R technicals and in some momo technicals. My dull wit is pointed squarely and solely at SCT and its aspirants. If you do not share my perverse obsession, you would not understand. In my defense, I am here by invitation of ET moderation. Largely, one suspects, in the hope that I will be roundly deflated by the SCT foule, or at least make a bigger fool of myself than usual.
I myself am a lover of knowledge however that in itself will not conquer this beast
or resist seduction of this harlot
or make alchemy the reality
or sow doubt in mind of a fanatic

It is i that has made a fool of himself. I should not jump to conclusions.

Socrates if I could be sure that you would take your knowledge to your grave
I would teach you the optimal way of trading

Anti-Hurst, everything I do in the trading is based on what I consider to be hard knowledge. By hard I mean explicit in the sense that Michael Polanyi distinguished explicit from tacit knowledge. I believe that acting on explicit knowledge earns profits.
But otherwise this thread IS about harlots, alchemy and fanatics.

Dackster, I am deadly serious here. My aim is to distinguish myself from the kind of drivel totally unworthy of ET posted in this absurd thread:

Jack? I do not totally agree with JHs....methods, but, i like JH. I find him interesting and interested, never dull.
But that's just my opinion....
Good trading.
Anti-Hurst, I know wherefrom you come. What I know will be left only to my wife and to a former lover. I paid a hideous price to learn it. And the net present value of it is priceless. And all of it is trivially simple beyond imagining. But I digress. My critique of complexity must wait for later posts.
