Hershey's mind trip on a Harvard stooge back in 2000 on misc.invest.futures http://groups.google.com/group/misc.invest.futures/browse_thread/thread/ccc785d53a418f8a/ad621
im the real person here not you and you call me a fake! mb ps post all your for real details. that will get you the priviledge of seeing the picture which will ruin what little bit of life you have left.
quote from Don Cameron Before we move on, Jack, do you agree with James Fowler's contention that trading on the basis of breakouts form 30-min bars or the slopes of adjacent 30-min bars alone does not result in a trading method which yields statistically significant profits? If you do not agree, what has he been doing wrong? If you do agree, why did you present them in a way which suggested that they do represent profitable approaches, rather than as a first step in understanding the development of a more sophisticated approach? Have you subjected these approaches to a computerized trading simulation and found them to be profitable? If so, over what period of time and on which index futures? I am finding this very confusing and a bit disconcerting. Perhaps you could also respond to bzzz's post questioning the smooth transition in scoring of a stock as it goes though a trading cycle. He asked for a specific example. I am not questioning your ability to trade futures or stocks in similar ways to those you present here. However, I do wonder and have for some time whether you unconciously apply additional filters form your own internal neural network based on your years of experience that perhaps even you do not explicitly recognize . Would you please explain for the rest of us who did not receive a fax what the adequate volume signal line is. As always, you are invited to post illustrations to clarify your approach at my board discussing your methods.
3 yrs ago jack told me that i wasnt worthy of his attention. and now with a little borrowed theme from Elton John i say: jack.... i wish i woulda ve got to know you...... but i was just a kid..... your candle burned out long before..... your legend never did....
This is a reminiscence The above post from Don which mentioned Jim Fowler, both of whom worked for years to refine and advance stocks and commodities trading and to whom I am thankful. The post caused me to look yet one more time at how I got to be the way I am and secondly how any trader can be what they are. In terms of mechanics (the 30 min commodities effort and the stocks scoring), it was always a grind to do the transference and there were a lot of phone calls and long data runs to bring out the areas for iterative refinement. The neuro aspects have always been in the picture as noted. A person can spend thousands of dollars building a collection on the progress of neuro aspects of living but there is little or nothing related to trading. I spent the money and made friends in the community of scientists. A new thread appeared recently that precipitated a first in ET in connecting the neuro sciences to trading. You can read it and see what I mean after I explain what was revealed. We have seen over the years (after Don's web site, etc.) how profits become statistically significant and we also have seen a lot of people change on ET. Lilduck reminisces on his assessment that came about from his commentary. I have had my brains picked very systemmatically on some really serious working periods as well. We were very insistent in exploring whether undocumented facets were in the pictures somehow. For some reason, when today, Spyder blew the cover of the poster (the originator of SPM a couple of years ago) two and two went together. SPM didn't work as was discovered. The model and development were flawed. I, as most people would, looked at the flaws and made suggestions. They were not received and I assumed the usual reasons why. Today I found out why the usual reasons for rejection were wrong to assume. And I also found out why the model and design were unworkable. Two neuro examples make the point and then you can read and see the actual disconnect that is at play and profit from avoiding these problems of consequence. Wobblers is one example and the other is training blind people to see. This takes us through the period from before neuroplasticity papers could be published until when neuroplasticity became generally accepted. There was a time when it was felt that the brain was fixed in physical ways by a certain young age and then intellectual growth occurred in that fixed physical construct. A wobbler keeps falling down and appears to behave like being attacked by a gang of others. Wobblers "see" as if they are looking through jello. The vestibular system is wrecked and the wobbler is created. People whose retinas do not work are blind. Science has now worked through solutions to eliminating being a wobbler and being blind. A matrix is the bridge in both cases. A chewing gum size plate for stimulating is laid on the tongue for wobblers and the back or stomach skin has a rectangle of stimulators placed against it for blind persons. A helmit provides balance signals to the wobbler and a TV camera is used to stimulate the skin of blind persons. If the helmit is removed after a minute the wobbler can function for a few extra seconds, for an hour of wearing after it is removed 40 seconds of behavior persists. But there is something else. At some point the persistence grows longer than the wearing. Wearing four times a day makes the whole day work. using it for four months gives a persistence for the rest of the year. Then it is no longer ever needed again. Blind people can recognize Twiggy and phones and vases using their skin. Today we had a happening in ET A person saw a triple bottom as an M and he traded the formation as a whipsaw experience. you may have to think about this a little to understand what is below. Aside from blufffing words and faking the reality and aside from years of changing aliases and striking out at other systems and sometimes playing dumb, what happened was that a disconnect was revealed unobtrusively within all the whining and shouting and anger displayed. This is like the wobbler who lacks a bodily part to connect some aspect of sensing to an operational part of the brain where the input could ordinarily be processed to get a success. By posting whipsawing trades and remarking about seeing upside down over and over in synchronicity, we had a demo of how miswired circuitry was extremely consistent for repeating mistakes that have occurred over several years, all in the context of a comparison with another system that , as it is described, will not go through the wiring of this person's system. A triple bottom seen as an M over and over in posts is remarkable in consistency. Seeing the choice of consistently choosing the wrong side of the trade is remarkable as well. What is even more remarkable is the continuous lashing out at the system that sees the markets and times the markets in exactly the correct ways which are the opposite. The most exciting thing was that this person deleted some of his posts and took hours to blame the deletions on a moderator. One of his observers, snagged the deleted posts which were time stamped and when they were posted they showed the above. Now the exciting part. Tthe person who was following the market on an expert level, automatically could see the connection among the time stamps, the associated upsidedown description, AND what was actually going on in the markets. I conclude that there is a segment of potential traders who have the same physiological disconnect. In mentoring, you get to see the frustration that some people have while watching the display and doing the reasoning. The way this is smoothed out for normal people is to create periodic closure and re-establish sensory balances. The MADA is a well known way to do this as opposed to OODA which does not. We saw today how not having a routine is a missing would be helpful factor. Many people were quickly able to see the bullsh*t call made on this person as the visual proofs were proffered. For me, it was an terrific example of how neuroplasticity went haywire over about a two year period because of a miswiring defect in a brain. By doing the vengence thing against a modeller and developer it made doing a brain building neuroplasticty work around for the physical miswiring impossible and abrogated the possibility. It is not a karma thing nor a bluffing and blustering hangover; it is a real "fighting" the neuro repair system viscously and relentlessly. You can review years of posts and see the sub theme of protecting n00bs by this character. As for wobblers who create the feeling of attacks 24/7 by hoodlums; this guy sees disparagingly and deeply the contrast of seeing a display "upsidedown" as compared to the input of a foreign (really made foreign internally) system. I speak occassionally about people reaching a point of no return through the incessant learning of repeated failure. This is not like thunderdog speaking to cutten saying he only understands part of one fifth of what cutten describes as the trading opportunity. Thunderdog simply shut down over time through fear. Neuro plasticity is at work in both cases as a physiological protection response to failure. People ultimately "freeze". Today we got to see the tangibles behind the miswiring of a person and how his introduction of a foreign (to him) trading system abrogated any neuro plasticity from repairing the miswiring to turn the displayed images rightsideup and, secondly, countering his wrongful trade behavior. I have long wondered why the tic tack toe board and the closing of alternatives prior to the one remaining alternative example of market movement didn't fly for some people. (Read 3 swans to see it fail to work and draw comment). It may be more than just the requirement to not do induction reasoning to trade. A triple bottom being an M and trading it upsidedown twice is not an inductive error.
I see "the moron" is still showing his face around here. Notice how neither Jack nor Spyder are responding to him though? That's because he shot himself in the ass and he's toast! :eek:
