  1. I still have my HP12c also,
    haven't used it in forever,
    but I know exactly where it is...

    I did use Ensign, remember it only held 6 days of data. Then eventually Tradestation then Ninja then hired programmers to design own platform, testing, data collecting, etc.

    I started at 21yo when I enlisted in Army, had evening job so I hung out at Merrill Lynch mornings. Got schooled by elderly gentleman who showed me Financials and how to chart by hand.

    Am somewhere in my 68 years.

    Am finding out some of medications am taking causing so many side affects I have felt like 90yo.
    Backing off of some drugs feel 1000% better. Only problem have now, back to sleeping 2 hours a day. Memory fussy at times.

    I seldom do manual trading any more, it just so boring, same patterns, same outcomes.

    Correct solution:

    Take Prodrome Glia and Neuro gel cap supplements. Your hippocampus will expand 2-3% over time vs shrinking as you age. Probably helps your Aspberger's in the process.

    Not my fault you don't want to listen. You need self study and common sense, not your average medical doctor who says you're doomed to cognitive decline. Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dayan Goodenowe are THE experts and leaders in the field you complain about (constantly).

    No one can do anything for you though if you persist with your bad diet and poor sleep habits. You CANNOT overdose on melatonin, plus, it's anti-cancerous. A medical doctor would prescribe you a "sleeping pill" that's merely an addictive mild narcotic.

    Handle123, you're a super smart trading dude. Apply that brain power to your health or just keep whining until the tragic end of something that was highly reversible. When you arrive to your mid-70's with no change in your approach, well, your Will recipients become the primary reapers of your rewards.

    Well you guys must be from Jersey. When I lived in central NJ in the late 1970s you weren't even allowed to pump your own gas and the attendant checked your tires, checked the oil and other fluids under the hood (transmission & AC fluids).

    It was a weird transition to California. California is the anti New Jersey and a do-it-yourself state.

  9. I did that when I was a teenager, back in the days when car manufactures liked to play hide the gas tank filler neck....behind tailights,lic.plates etc.!
