I suspect that many of readers think that I am not serious about unambuggerously coding SCT. Let me assure you that I am having a ball with it. I long ago gave up and started charting on 5 minutes, but I didn't enjoy it because I felt obliged to crayola. Now that I don't have to do that thanks to my code, I am enjoying that time frame much more. My only problem has been getting my mind into the head of SCT. My brain is too big.

Socrates Examines Technical Strategy

Quote from Socrates:
Oh, it's worse than that. Although the whole code takes about 60 SLOCs, the reversal decision itself takes only one line, so I could write the tests on a postage stamp. But I forgot that to overoptimize it I had to go to four tests. Untestable without a Cray.
Socrates,
The code for SCT, I hear JC Penny and Walmart have it on sale for $5 a throw.
Dackster.
One thing most of them have in common is NSOHW (no sense of humor whatsoever).
Well, the day's results are in. I decided to treat volume in SCT like I do salt in soup. The attachment shows three candidate versions of SCWOT (SCt WithOut Tears, pronounced "squat", as in "you don't know..."). The bottom pane has a lot of volume. Second from the bottom, a little volume. And third from the bottom, none at all.
All three are relatively stable codes, so I'll use them going forward in a breathless forward test using no money at all.
Now I think it only fair to warn you that after a few more days of this, everyone on ET who doesn't know SCWOT is going to want to. But I am decidedly NOT sharing. What I will want all of you to do is go back to the beginning and read Jack from day 1, just like the B-Team did. And learn to to SCWOT by yourselves, like I had to. "Do the work!"

OMG! "One million in a hundred days!" Now I have to change my Depends! Thank you thank you thank you, 666, for archiving doze files!
Who knew Elite was pronounced E-Light? Baron, did you?
"OK?", "OK?", "OK", "You know", "Whatever".
God, and I thought I was dumb! He is a BRICK! But a master motivator, obviously!

Today is Day One of the newest Jack Hershey hostage crisis. Don't worry folks, I've successfully(?) brought him out of r-ET-irement before. But I can't do it alone. All over ET, you must BEG Jack to come back. I will do my part by nagging you about it, and by so egregiously misrepresenting SCT that he becomes apoplectically enraged. Basely abusing his protegee Neoxx might help, although I don't recall that that saved Nwbprop. Jack has a history of letting them twist in the breeze. But remember: ET is not ET without Jack.
Often I am asked why I trade from such tiny chart windows, with charts that require so little attention. Sheepishly I must admit that it is because most of my screen is taken up by a randomly sequencing flow of '50's pinups. At my age, one must prioritize one's pleasures. Or vices.
