...how cometh there to be a puddle at thy feet? Hath Dame Market taken thee afright? Or perchance were thee a' puddling, as 'twere, to calme the fear of frights? No matter. Sir Puddler henceforth shall ye be! Hypostowemous (knowne by all as "The Great") hath this very day discov'rd a novel twiste to the Secrete Methode reveal'd only in parte by the darke master. That the master hath fayled to define for all the secrete of the syn-chron-ize-ation (a newe worde, com-pounded of the Greeke and con-founded from the French), is known to all, to wit, howe a man of goode reasone might discover it in it's passing. Hypostowemous ("the Great") hath unearth'd the master's secrete (if indeede the master himself knoweth it) in the "average" (another Frenche conceptus) of the premium fooles paye in the trayding of the futures. A greate daye in deed!
...point 3 at 11:44 ET. Are you all able to keep up with this breakneck surreal-time posting? I'm for sure going to make 3X the H/L this afternoon!
...threatens when one starts talking to oneself. However, if necessary I shall resort to conversations with my eponymously named alises. For years I have been labelled a fool, a madman, a linguistic weenie, a fraud, and dangerously misdirectional, and that was just by my friends. Why, just today I was called a clown! O perfidious ET! Now you will repent of the abuse and persecution you have unjustifiably heaped upon me! Attached is an example of my 2 second NQ PREM chart, showing a little scalp which offered itself up at precisely 11:25:08 ET. It was fleeting, evanescent, ephemeral even, but it was sublimely tradeable and demonstrated that arbitrage ain't as fast as people here think. Or do the arbitraging computers require human intervention for such an absurd trade, introducing a trigger pull, with its attendant fears and hesitation? For those of you who demand proof, I backtested 11700 bars, surely enough for the finickiest statistician, and found that this has a positive expectation. And I give away nothing here, as if this system is accepted I shall make even more money off of it.
hey! you are not bad looking at all http://www.hairbuttthehippo.com/RAT_RACE_HOME/PREV1/PREV2/PREV3/SBT1/body_sbt2.html
...in fact I was busy scalping the shit out of the day. I chart in PT, but live in CT, so I sometimes convert incorrectly to ET. Attached is my NQ chart for the day (in PT). The trend lines are as I drew them as the day progressed, no cheating. I meant that series of three posts as a joke, seeing as how the day before I had incorrectly paced the day too fast. So I joke posted how an idiot might misinterpret the advice of BA_Trader on pacing rules by pacing too slow, taking only one trade that day. Make sense? Also, in the attached chart reveal how I really trade, which is off of the one minute, compressed to the time scale you would use at the end of the day to assess the entire day. This has the benefit that no way no how can you see what is going on in a one minute bar, so you cannot be impulsive on that time scale. (I save my impulsivity for my 2 second chart.) I scalped until noon PT, at which time I judged that the game was over and everybody had gone home.
...I am willing to play the fool with real time posting in another thread (this one is dead but doesn't know it yet), but I don't know what our objective would be. What do you have in mind? I mean, after you draw the first channel in a possibly new trend, what's to do? Argue about whether or not we should change the channel lines as the trend accelerates, then decelerates? Well, hell, it usually comes BACK to the channel as originally drawn, so why bother? We could possibly argue about FTT, as I have some non-Jack ideas about the validity of apparent FTTs based on stackup of multiple S/R. We could laugh at the infrequency with which an FTT is supported by Jack's "rules" about DU and an inside bar and volume BO in the 5 minute. But I'm not actively watching 5 minute.
No worries. On friday you mentioned about looking for point 3, thought maybe you wanted to discuss things in real-time. But if it's not something that would be of value, then no point. I guess the novelty of posting charts hasn't worn off yet.
