I'm tired after the rant. The data is on a silver platter, but I think the system is laid out in a cross-platinum, diamond encrusted, gold plate. If loading ascii data is too difficult, you're not even qualified to be a trader and you should immediately quit and seek professional help...<b><i><u>Now!</b></i></u>
I WANT EVERY ONE OF THOSE TOO!! (Ok, not particularly. Maybe just the babes ) Will Jack Hershey's system get them for me? I am eager to learn!! BTW bwolinsky, what do you REALLY think?
At least nkhoi,unlike many of u hear,keep staying supportive and polite at all times.You are all led by tamas where ignorance=anxiety .
(still didn't answer the why question)you are the biggest follower/detractor,i can't figure out why a guy of your iq would spend so much time changing handles and chasing jack,again,tell the world why you are saving us from jack,in plain english or hieroglyphics if you want
Non-resident things that don't contain any real value.Maybe you'll find out someday,that there is no big difference,if you have them on your laptop or in reality.
bwolinsky says he ran a backtest on specific rules from an old system. But I don't understand anyone's claim that a current system (whatever form it is currently in) can't be backtested. To say that is to basically say there is a profitable system that has rules that are not definable. If so, that would be a "faith-based" system, or like telling Luke to use the Force. If a system has vague rules, it can't be taught, let alone learned. Woodie's CCI used to get around that with something called "nuances" to rules. But WTF is a "nuance" except a sub-rule to a rule? The term is just used as an obfuscation technique. Walk-forward testing is always necessary. Backtesting is necessary but not sufficient in itself. But not sufficient does not mean "useless". To say that a system can't be backtested is a cop-out and the first sign of a charlatan.
Hello Jack, it seems you sure bring out the crazies lol....(to the crazies: Please! Go away...I have not done anything to you...most of you are invisible but one of you forces me to drop another sock puppet in the ignore bin every time I log on, which is mildly irritating. Perhaps you want to open another thread called "Questions to the crazies"). To Jack: am drilling..did almost 4 months of charts, drawing price from Vol bars only. This definitely helps! Now I am trying to see the tells that foreshadow WHICH vol peak will be the real FTT... I do not see that this decision can be done by Volume alone, it seems to be a combination of the price bar and the gaussians/ pace. Here is a refinement question if you can find the time: I understand that formations straddling the RTL cause the RTL to fan. Was wondering if you could perhaps give some guidance as to WHICH RTL the formation/pennant causes to fan. Sometimes this can be seen to apply to 2 nestled containers, a traverse and a channel for example. A formation cand straddle both. Please see attached today's chart for an example. I am trying to find a systematic way of dealing with this... like much about this method, I am sure it is context-dependent. "FFF" does not seem to solve the issue in this case...? TYVM as always for your help! Best, Vienna
