From Tara's thread. While gently caressing Jack's pony-tailed head she seductively exposes his neck and bares her fangs... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=151333 <hr>teasinggtara Registered: Jan 2009 Posts: 38 New Post 01-24-09 08:32 AM Let's begin with Jack's 4 Stage Protocol. I'm calling it Jack's because that's what he uses on ET but it is a standard technique. If you go to You Tube and look at Darren Brown you'll see a master at work. It's so much part of Jack's work on ET I'd say a visit there is essential to understand what's going on here under your noses.If you want to read how it's done in print let's look at Jedi Jack's mind control technique once I open up Jack's can of worms. It doesn't work on everyone just like a Hypnotist can't control everyone. It's essential to get feedback to see that you have got them through to the 4th Protocol. Once you get them to this stage you can feed them onions and they will be convinced they are eating oranges, hence the disputes between those Jack has hypnotized and those who think they are as mad as Jack. Jack's not mad at all - just a performer at work. His followers have been likened to those drinking poison while thinking it's kool-aid. How can such a successful trading method elicit such extreme opposite responses? Aren't the results proof positive that silences all critics? Not when lots are hypnotized and Jack is having a party at ET. Time to open this can of worms. The 4-Stage Protocol 1. Absorb Attention 2. Bypass Critical Function 3. Activate an Unconscious Response 4. Lead the Unconscious Response to a Desired Result We will delve deeper into how Jack works his stage routine and how he embeds suggestions inside stories to prime the unconscious mind, and why those he mentors never demand Jack demonstrates how it works. This is because the mind is already visualizing it working and they just need to take one more step to actually see it. It's accepted truth that requires no evidence. It's so close to the real truth that they can't see the need for a fraud to piggyback on the truth. But most of all they have an over riding desire to believe the impossible is possible for them. Illusion becomes their inner reality. More to follow soon!
Jack hates this argument, but I have stuck by it over the years: SCT is not seamless at all, rather it is a collection of disparate connected edges. I also have argued that while no single element of SCT backtests with positive expectancy, magically, somehow in the ensemble, SCT works. Attached is an example showing how I have decomposed SCT into seven edges. Two of them were profitable yesterday, five weren't. Most days look like that. Of course, as I am an SCT advocate, I only show you the days that work. Jack cherry-picks his examples that way, too.
I hesitated to revive this thread because Tara has become the de facto leader of the B-Team by virtue of her youth and 21st century brilliance vice my old age and cultural recidivism. I only do so to share the results of Codified SCT for today (a cherry-picked day, to be sure, this IS about SCT, after all). And to remind everyone in the midst of the feeding frenzy that there is a kernel of truth in SCT. More like a kernel in the bottom of the popcorn bag that won't pop that you could break a tooth on, but a kernel nonetheless. Attached is the same bogus code I have been showing you for days, only today it worked. This is not to be confused with the classified MIL-SPEC version my military advisor slipped up and published elsewhere. My code is export-approved for civil uses only.
Good riddance to that Tara person. Now we can get back to the serious binness of unambiguously codifying SCT. Insiders may note that there was a peculiar PV pattern preceding bar 5 today (gotta love the compactness of that notation!). I'll post a solution for that condomundrum after the close. It will help Neoxx avoid the whipsaws he has learned to be afraid of and get a fast pulse over.
As long as everyone understands that this totally fraudulent code, being faithfully based on SCT, here's how it did today. I am not proud of it. But alternate codes that traded more did worse.
Today's results totally validate Jack's gutsy take-no-prisoners policy of "no stops!" And point out the necessity to be wired for calm like Neoxx.
Joe is busy recoding what doesn't need recoding, and my first client isn't due for a while. The bottom study is a stoplight. Orange (I can't see yellow so good) is flat before the first entry and at the close, red is short, green is long. Always in after the opening trade on bar 1 until the end of bar 78. As to real trades, NFW until this is perfected! Do I sound stupid to you? I'm trading my usual S/R.
