Do you want me to do all the work you have been given the opportunity to do so you have an snswer sheet to work from?

This is a question I am asking so I can determine whether or not you are willing to do any work in this thread.

Do you notice in Iterative Refinement that there is a cooperative give and take going on?

This is a question I am asking so I can find out where you are coming from.

I printed those charts out, but only get various shades of gray, rather than black and red, so couldn't use them. Instead, had to load up charts on my computer, cover up the price pane, drag the right hand margin to the start of each day, then uncover bar by bar. For some days, I played the first 2-3 bars in realtime.

Go buy a new printer and 10 cartridges of whatever ink or whatever makes the print put stuff on sheets.

I went over your screws ups in printing and scaning two weeks ago.

The market is moving about 40 printer retail costs a day. Get two printers so you have a back up.

Once you figure out something is not working it is your job to fix it and get operational.

If you cannot print you cannot debrief; if you cannot debrief you cannot fix mistaken concepts.

Tell me if you are going to get a new printer and when you will have it working.

You have to post Charts for 10 days that are labelled day 1 through day 10.

Do you have a box of three cut file folders?

Do you have 3 ring binders?

Do you have reams of paper on hand and usable for a printer?


This is boot camp; get on the stick.

you are entering too early. NOW WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHY.

Can't you tell me why you do not want to give me a break and report out anything you are or aren't doing?

Just explain it to me briefly.

I'd always laboured under the assumption that work isn't presented until it's presentable. You gave a lot of useful information, and suggested a lot of useful drills for me to work through. I thought I was to work on all the drills on my own, then post the results once all the work was done.

Do you get the picture that a person redid this entire thread for your and my CONVENIENCE?

It is too bad some posts were lost. that happened and your progress as a record is now compromised.

Tums is a great asset, although I agree it's disappointing if any posts have been lost.

do you think you can get to work?

If so when do you think this will begin to happen?

I started after I got home from work on Saturday, and - aside from one or two unavoidable commitments - have continued. I really wanted to avoid doing what I've done so far... rush through things and gain only a superficial understanding.

When I said I needed to blowtorch false connections, I wasn't joking. I've been trying to reason why certain cross-wirings exist, how they came about, and systematically deconstruct them. I'm trying to do some deep, slow and deliberate work to reinstate solid foundations.

I'll buy a colour printer this week. Up & running by Wednesday.

Do you have a box of three cut file folders?

Not completely sure what this is.

Do you have 3 ring binders?

Check.

Do you have reams of paper on hand and usable for a printer?

Check.

Boot camp is where people work and work harder and harder. We are working in the real world. Do you understand how many thousands and thousands of dollars this is costing you by choosing the beliefs you have over ones that could be considered expediting and rational.

My lawyers always sit there and anotate each page of each copy of each parties original signature document. All pages are dated and intialed without fail.

What is the advantage of doing this? The job gets done and is signed off and the annotations become prima fascia that the parties sat together to iteratively refine an understanding.

I said to you repeatedly I wanted to see you messes and you messiness.

To date you have prevented me from annotating any log you have posted because of wrong sizing and lack of computer skills on your part. Cease this. Put up scans that can be used in Paint and in color. This is crap to so handicap me and my use of time.

You gave a lot of useful information, and suggested a lot of useful drills for me to work through. I thought I was to work on all the drills on my own, then post the results once all the work was done.

That is what lurkers do. Observers do what you are doing. Non participants do what you are doing. All the chicken shit detractors do what you do.

The alternative is to work. Do you understand why people post in the Itertive Refinement thread? This is a question and I wish to have your answer on this. The reason I want the answer is so I can find out in one more way, why you are not doing the work

Tums is a great asset, although I agree it's disappointing if any posts have been lost.

tums is much more than a great asset. He does more work in this thread than you do by a long short. you are shirking in doing work. He is working exceedingly hard to facilitate your learning process and he is waiting for you to get with the posting of your work. This is a 100 page weekend for you in terms of posting attachments.

I started after I got home from work on Saturday, and - aside from one or two unavoidable commitments - have continued. I really wanted to avoid doing what I've done so far... rush through things and gain only a superficial understanding.

Go for superficial. Try to get to superficial. If you get to superficial the % gain will be infinite and THAT is a real achievement. Improvement when dividing by 0 is a big deal.

When I said I needed to blowtorch false connections, I wasn't joking. I've been trying to reason why certain cross-wirings exist, how they came about, and systematically deconstruct them.

This isn't going to happen. refer to pages starting on page 116 of Doidge, if you have it by this time. I don't have to look up why it is difficult to get LTD to work in achieving what you think you are going to do that will not happen.

What you are going to have to settlefor is setting up a new system of "first recourses" and not continue to use what you now use as "first recourse".

You have a lot of consequences of past decisions. Look at the detractors and see where they got themselves as a result of past decisions that give them their present beliefs.

You need to start doing constructive work. You find out if it is constructive if you post with attachments and I reply to your post and its attachments. Do you understand this concept of dialogue? I need a response to begin to undersstand further where you are comming from.

I easily understand why detractors are mentally incapable of dealing with the algorithm and it applications. I am trying to find out what "first recourses" you continually get sidetracked with.

I'm trying to do some deep, slow and deliberate work to reinstate solid foundations.

Skip it, you need to begin to do beginner stuff instead. You will not have a solid foundation in trading until you begin to work. Since you do not do work as yet, you are not makng any progress.
I am asking you to consider doing a routine. The routine is called MADA

You need a log with rows on it to do this. You think vertically. Read you posts. You DO NOT HAVE HORIZONTAL LINES GOING ACROSS YOUR LOG. If you can, put 22 horizontal lines across your balnk logging sheet and post it ASAP to prove you can read this sentence.

I'll raise my game. You have my word.

File folders have their tabs arranged so ther are easy to read. three cut describes foledrs that have left, center and right tabs. Cut means you are using the industry standard terminology. Have a staff person where you work open a file drawer for you so you can look inside.

Get a file cabinet and get a three hole punch when you get the printers. The printer will be costing you about 5,000 dollars per contract in trading time. I would call a store and have them put two printers in their truck and deliver all the supplies and cables and extra outlet multipliers you need this afternoon. They make deliveries

I use four printers in my office and Liz has two printers in her office. They are never turned off and we have ink backups fopr all of them and we get more backups BEFORE the last back up is opened. They scan in color with one exception and it is a production B/W printer that can scare you if sheets start hitting the floor.

 

[Neoxx]

Ok. I'll get two colour printers, a colour scanner, and a filing cabinet.

I'm not sure why the attachments I'm posting cannot be edited in Paint. I'll find out from someone who's more technically savvy, and address this.

I'm uploading this in JPEG format. That should solve the editing problem.

obviously your picture is way too large ... Can you see it easily on one screen?

Yup. Does it show up differently on your screen?
