    Jack, you talking about Greenwich, London, or southwest CT?

    Thank you Jack for the view into a Formula One cockpit...am still chugging along in an old VW here.
    So you laid out the view from the cockpit of a 700 HP car looking down the straight at Monza at 300 MPH, with a turn coming up... love it. It gives me a scope of where I am and where I want to get to.

    2 questions please:
    -Could you perhaps elaborate a bit on specifics of the "purposeful work" required? Just put the displays on the screen and start watching them until they become second nature?
    I finally understood what "the work" is for annotation skills (dry runs. drills), and, while making errors, am getting pretty fluent in this aspect...
    -I know "tooling' questions are probably beneath the scope of this discussion, but, please- I want to clarify this once and for all: I think you recommend TN as a platform. I tried them but found the annotation tools terrible. Do you disagree on this? If so, I will give them another shot.
    For T&S and Dom, I saw you like MB Trader pro...will get that.

    Thanks a lot!

    I disagree...actually, I think it is a very happy experience to figure this out :)

    You see the blue lines up there? What if you knew before the market open that that was a likely place for the market to turn? Came pretty close, after that long run, wouldn't you say? So all you do is wait for the FTT and act.

    The only sad things I can see are:
    1. that I am not holding long enough (should still be short from the entry 67.75 (the red line at the top), that would be a 15 point trade so far- but that will come with experience. I knew the lateral pushing out the RTL meant continuation, but knowing it and holding are 2 different things still.
    Just kidding, it's not really sad. Any profit is good.

    2. I find some of the detractors kind of sad. You wonder what kind of life someone has who posts the same junk for years and years.

    regards,

  9. The one across from bell 32A (north of) on long Island sound.

    I lived in the Rockridge neighborhood.

    Off rte 1 go down the street (north) between the Esso station (probably Exxon nowadays) and the library; at the circle just go into the neighborhood.

  10. The approach is a system based upon a two part "in kind" orthogonal hypothesis set, where the leading observable volume indicators are binary vectors whereby "increasing" volume is paired with "continuing"trend trade and "decreasing" volume is paired with "change" trend.

    This proves I can't do a sentence and thats fine by me.

    I like the idea of a paradigm where no probability nor betting nor prediction is involved.

    The parametric measures are gerunds and they fit so nicely into interlocking nested fractals whose containers are parallelograms.

    As everyone knows I began trading before arcane did. This very rock solid aspect of market theory has been such a consistent foundation upon which to build.

    There is a lot of ingenuity involved in producing the exacting systemmic tools to implement such an elegant paradigm composed of two "if....then" hypotheses with gerunds as parametric measures.

    It fun to see great personages challenge me to state a sentence. My third grade teacher did the same.

    Now I'm doing two more books and I shelved the manuscripts for five others that would have been a finanacial trading suite (Ill use them inhouse, it turns out).

    It is so cool to have a 2 million copy press run scheduled. I will use lots of sentences. My Dragon is roaring them out double spaced.

    As of last Sunday on 60 minutes, it looks like I'm competing with an advertizing exec with no military service. I couldn't believe the turkeys on the program were so off base in helping GI's in need. How could 60 min staff be sucked in so easily.

    As one would expect, everything devolves around the mind and doing what is required to either build it of restore it.

    The mind has supreme potential. Firing it up and using it is one of the most fun things in the world. So many people can stand right next to opportunity and decide to turn away and go goof off.

    Why does a person need one sentence? I know he thinks is shows the skilll of the sentence writer to convey the "complete and definitive thought."

    Now lets look at the needy person. He has his sentence and it consumate and timeless. (it has to be timeless since the market is events based).

    When you eat a consume there are no lumps. No lumps in the sentence either.

    How does a person in need get his real needs out there? He doesn't. He just mopes along with a dead sentence he will bury somewhere.

    That sentence has served me for 53 years.

    Looking for the fountain of youth got royalty's attention.

    A subject and its predication can turn on a endless supply of capital. I guess that is so cool because it takes a big thing off the table for problem solving. When you have money, you can solve problems by getting bright people to do the job.

    But the question of one sentence is not too bright.
