Anyone else Ted.... BUT.... come on dude... do you want B1 to ban you from this journal? This has absolutely nothing to do with anything regarding trading the ES. I mean this one is "3 counties over" especially on a night the indexes are down 5%. It's as OT as you can get. Wtf? Not that it's not important... but read the room. Let's hope B1 doesn't read this. Or just delete it.
Highly relevant I think? “… The men and women who performed best in the Army’s I.E.D. detection study had the sort of knowledge gained through experience, according to a preliminary analysis of the results; but many also had superb depth perception and a keen ability to sustain intense focus for long periods. The ability to pick odd shapes masked in complex backgrounds a “Where’s Waldo” type of skill that some call anomaly detection also predicted performance on some of the roadside bomb simulations. “Some of these things cannot be trained, obviously,” said Jennifer Murphy, a psychologist at the Army Research Institute and the principal author of the I.E.D. study. “But some may be; these are fighters who become very sensitive to small changes in the environment. They’ll clear the same road every day and notice ridiculously subtle things: this rock was not here yesterday.” In a study that appeared last month, neuroscientists at Princeton University demonstrated just how sensitive this visual ability is and how a gut feeling may arise before a person becomes conscious of what the brain has registered. They had students try to pick out figures people or cars in a series of photos that flashed by on a computer screen. The pictures flashed by four at a time, and the participants were told to scan only two of them, either those above and below the center point, or those to the left and right. Eye-tracking confirmed that they did just that….” ADVERTISEMENT SKIP ADVERTISEMENT But brain scans showed that the students’ brains registered the presence of people or cars even when the figures appeared in photos that they were not paying attention to. They got better at it, too, with training. Some people’s brains were almost twice as fast at detecting the figures as others’. “It appears that the brain primes the whole visual system to be strongly sensitive to categories of visual input,” kinds of things to look for, said Marius V. Peelen, a neuroscientist at Princeton and a co-author of the study with Li Fei-Fei and Sabine Kastner. “And apparently some people’s visual system processes things much faster than others’.”
Lets hope B1 is playing golf in the Emirates again. He's bullish btw... I think I saw one of his posts last week that called for a bottom.
Hey when V-man changes his tune and starts throwing out things like "I'm watching the Vix now" L-O-effing-L.... Schiz... we're near the bottom. It worked at the top with "Nothing can hold this market down", and I have a feeling it will work down here near the bottom. He's better than the Stoney Fade Trade.
His ability to pick the top by being totally clueless to trading is nothing that can be relied upon for repeatability and his ability to pick a bottom is unproven at best. But don’t think I haven’t considered these things myself lolz.
Exactly. Pointing out his naivety, and I'm not mocking him because we were all probably there at one point or the other... is only a little comic relief on my part here in a very precarious market. EDIT: But with that said... his ongoing "markets only go up" calls... were definelty spot on for the reality check of a 15% pullback. No offense V-man if you read this.
Just like my response to @Overnight. Geezus, we must be twins separated at birth. Ya can't make this shit up.
