  1. Q

    Boolean Operators

    Truth Table
    X
    1
    1
    0
    0
    Y
    1
    0
    1
    0 X AND Y
    1
    0
    0
    0
    X OR Y
    1
    1
    1
    0 X XOR Y
    0
    1
    1
    0 X NAND Y
    0
    1
    1
    1 X NOR Y
    0
    0
    0
    1 X XNOR Y
    1
    0
    0
    1
    Not 1=0 Not 0=1

    These are the commands you will need when you want a specific command to execute, only when certain conditions are met. In case you don't understand the table, here is a simplified version.
    AND
    OR
    XOR
    NOT
    NAND
    NOR
    XNOR Both have to be true
    At least one has to be true
    Only one must be true (Exclusive OR)
    Makes a true a false and vise versa
    At least one has to be false (NOT AND)
    Both have to be false (NOT OR)
    Both have to be false or true (NOT EXCLUSIVE OR)

  3. 2 more cents:

    Price can be Large Up, Medium Up, Small Up, Unchanged, Small Down, Medium Down, Large Down, etc.

    Many times, an Unchanged price could be effectively an Up in one case, but a Down another case. (Then what is a real/ true Unchanged, or not?)

    Etc.

    Etc.

  4. Great annotation on chart.

    Your table did not reflect that.

    As you see in the recent post, possibilities represent simple "AND" combinations of things taken three at a time.

    The scoring is just a way of considering how people work the market.

    It turns out that for every sector you can see the human psychology at work.

    As you read ET posts you can see in them where various people screw up in how they view the cycle of activity.

    Most people do not see the subtle difference of a long trend compared to a short trend. You can see it from the scoring. by now.

    Do you now see where early exits come from?

    Can you see how traverses within long and short channels come into being?

    Do you see why there are usually a limited numbers of traverses in a trend channel?

    If you use periodic functions and apply biased carriers (like a MLR line) that is intermediate term compared to this short term cycle, you can see how the harmonics dominate/contribute in many ways. (head and shoulders and double tops and bottoms).

    If you add long term conditions to the mix mentally other facets will pop into view s well.


    Anyway all of this level stuff can be processed mentally and later on the bicycle riding of trading begins to appear. You can read posts in ET to determine if a given poster has made it to a "sports memory" level of trading. There usually are wisps of confidence and low emotional content.

    Fear in posts comes from a person using an algorithm for the market that is ill conceived and believed. Reinforcing repeated failure is the result.

    Sorry this didn't get off the ground maths wise. I just felt that using a type of math that simply and comprehensively describes the market and leads to the P, V relation might be sensible.

    It is definitely an antidote to the macro malaise.

    Micro works best for people. By choosing a high beta range of equities and concurrent top quality, you have a subset that is anomoly free and has a high frequency very reliable cycle. use a 10% net turn every 6 or 7 days as a standard. With a 100K share max as 10% of daily volume you can pull out the price of something you need/want fairly often. The 3x(H-L) standard means you can run along financing your budgetary needs after a minimumstart up of 60 days or so. Think micro and living really comfortably. You can focus on a few sidelines like supporting 501 C 3's and doing things you like.

    I'm beginning to think it's the same person posting back and forth asking questions and answering them himself. Does anyone have a clue what this back and forth banter is all about? All I could manage to comprehend is it's about cycles. :confused:

  9. Don't you think that's quite normal on ET (for so many potential vendors?)? :confused:

    Or not normal? LOL :D

  10. Although (in the past) I have been accused of being an alias of Mr. Hershey, I assure you (whatever that is worth on an anonymous BBS), Jack and G33M4K are entirely two separate individuals.
