I can only afford to be generous to ET for so long, you know. My mind is filled to the brim with useless trading ideas I don't have time to code and test. And with practical problems like the tradeoff between throughput and VWAP calculation accuracy.
Remind me please, Jack, are the grey bogey men A/D-ing shorts or longs? I always get confused about that. Especially the guys who are hedging. It really hurts my head.
Now you can go back to my first illustration and drain all the information out of it and put it in your brain (mind) None of it is going to stay there. to get the chart and the cycle to remain in your mind you need to make up a set of steps for copying the information on a blank sheet of paper. then you follow the instructiions you wrote 50 times and post the numbered copies you made one after another. those reading the copies will not have any change in their memory but you who made the copeis will have some long term memory in a new language you could be learning. you are going to learn the language of a system and the vocabulary is functions, operators and indicators. the numeration of this system is 1 and 0. you can learn to add subtrct multiply and divide. But in this system of numeration these things are unimportant. The system uses operators called AND and OR and parentheses. Our system Parametric Measure is different than the CW measures. Most people cannot learn these things. I failed to communicate to you what the measure we will be using is. I am not worried. your mind is not very open to ideas and thoughts and that is normal. read other posts in this thread to verify how closed minds can be. Our variables are in the form of gerunds. a gerund is a part of speech in most languages. In mathematics chosing a system of numeration and chosing the symbols can be almost traumatic if even possible. So far you cannot even answer questions. I am demonstrating how to answer questions and I am explaining how slowly the learning process will be for you since you wait instead of doing any work. A gerund had three letters at the end of the word. All of trading comes from four words. The agorithm is where these words reside. the form of the elements in a complete algorithm must be "in kind'. There are two hypotheses in the complete set. The form is IF......,THEN....... we are NOT using IF. we are using IF....., THEN..... You will have to be dropping the carelessness and the guessing you do. In trading we do NOT use opposites for making money when we regard price. this post has a lot of information. as you see the dullards are beginning to slow down their posting since I am increasing the rate at which I transfer information to you. I have also added more NLP as I construct my information that you have to have in your long term memory. notice the advent of more and more ing's ending words.
Not to regress, but do we have a hidden virtual evanescent imaginary half-bit in there for "flat?" But of course you dismember that I have asked that before.
As a dimly related aside, when I was brushing up on the capabilities of abaci for another thread, I lernt that they make abaci in binary amd even hex! Great for keeping track of the states.
the markets are so huge that we have to be parasitic with respect to the big money which is not making much money. So accumulation is the term used for what people do to get a scarce quantity. when a person no longer wants a quantity he unloads it as a plentiful quantity and makes sacrifices to achieve his goal. Our three Holy Grails are parasitic, technical, psychological and they frontrun. the profiles for each appraoch is that as defined by the SEC as "insider trading". Harris shows the box on page 199 of his work. One holy grail has been fully explained in terms of rules and the leading indicator of price which is the signal. the column in the platform where it was first used has the name: "Unusual Volume". I didn't change the name I just made use of it. this naming points out the oreintation of those who sell platforms. they do not know how markets work nor do they provide complete high utility platforms. this one pager was checked out using a 400,000 unit sample. nothing was changed on the one pager. the Essence of PVT is to only trade stocks that have one look. Thus they all look alike is the essential character. Each Holy Grail is simple and repeatable. Traders who use these Holy Grails find they are consistent. The thread where the stock selection (Universe) appeared is closed. the date and time of the thread is SEP 04 and it was on the 25th. Copy the four pages. the appraoch has been used for 54 years so far. Some more modern stuff is available. One of those people who cannot learn or get things straight fouled up the rules for testing a sample and fouled up the sampleas well. His results were statistically insignificant as a professional would assume. He never tested the Holy Grail this system represents.
yes and the Japanese differentiate themselves from the Chinese. It is a matter of one extra bead per row. A simple example of operational inefficiencies. I have my office divided into various work areas. An over beaded ab is on the dividing line above a MB radiator of an aniversary very short run model (an unumbered model).
"...the oreintation of those who sell platforms. they do not know how markets work nor do they provide complete high utility platforms." Totally agree. I has taken me years of trial and error to get visually useful, computationally efficient representations of the tape, statistics on the tape, unconventional S/R, first and second derivatives of key parameters, and fast/reliable price inversion detection. Data providers seemingly conspire to keep feeding traders useless crap. Even the vaunted Bloomberg terminal is no exception. If retail traders keep using crap like MAs, stochs, RSI ad nauseum, they will never break out of the 95%/5% paradigm.
here you get to see how "scoring" has several elegant mathematical properties. I may have asked for some work to be done to show these but this is not a private school fifth grade class where screaming kids would be shouting out this and that. why do they delight and get so excited. they can still "SEE" things. I used spacing to help a little. You can see entries and exits are identical in one way. Which way? What is the common characterisitic for the inflection points? Can you now describe the mental shortcomings of the person who uses the early exit? Do you see why there is no differentiation of minds following the 10,000 hour futile path? Soon we will be shifting from doubling every 40 days to doubling every four days. What about the poeple who are too samrt to do assigned drills? One of their common characterisitcs is that they have read all the books and they studied mathematics to some extent (JR High)
Yes, I understand, I have my treasured antique possessions, too. The oldest and my most favorite thing in the house is me.
