Mark, my screen name is Roman A, my real name is Roman. I have a long last name that did not fit the screen name template, so I had to cut it short to one letter. Normally I just ignore trolls, but in your case I made an exception. You donât appear to be one the usual sock puppets belonging to one or several deeply disturbed individuals who are in real need of therapy. You are a professional who runs a business of providing consulting and other services. You are also claim to be a trader. I think that it is clear for everyone who is reading this thread what is it that you are after. I rattled your chain a few times and I should not have as I am not in a habit of making fun of people, especially those with an apparent cognitive impediment such as yours. And yet despite my efforts, you made it evident for everyone reading this thread that the real purpose of your posts is to insult one person â Spydertrader and promote yourself at the same time. What youâre doing is disgusting. Your remarks are tasteless and your attacks are not fooling anyone. On a personal note: I think youâre an asshole. I will take a liberty to suggest to Bundlemaker to delete this entire thread, as it is certainly becoming not what he intended for it to be in the first place. I also would like to ask other readers of this thread to encourage Bundlemaker to do what is right with this thread.
Here is the OddBall strategy - as originally created by Mark Brown - ported to efs. "OddBall-Signals.efs", here attached, can operate as a standalone but if one wants to see also the other two indicators that are visible in the images below you will need to run "OddBall-RoC.efs" and "OddBall-$ADV.efs" which are posted in subsequent messages. To run this efs correctly you need to create a 60 min chart of ES, SP or SPY with a Time Template set to 09:00-16:00 EST (or equivalent if you are on a different time zone). The symbol normally used for OddBall is the $SPX, but because in eSignal we can limit SP, ES and SPY trading hours, through the use of the Time Template, you can use these symbols. The last signal of a day on the original system is at 16:00 EST anyhow so it does not matter if the last 15 minutes of ES, SP or SPY are not plotted. OddBall is a SAR system and is always in the market either Long or Short. It computes the trading signal at the close of every 60 minute period using natural hours set by the Time Template start's time. The signals are generated by a 7 period Rate of Change of the NYSE Advancing Issues. If the RoC is above 3 the system goes long if below 3 it goes short. The basic efs does the following: - computes the RoC of $ADV (but does not plot it) - paints the bars in which the system is Long in blue and those in which it is short in red. - if Long paints the chart background in cyan, if short paints it in yellow. - writes the price of the last entry (in white text over blue background if Long or in white over red background if Short) at the bottom of the chart centered to the bar that generated the signal. - issues a Buy/Sell order at the Close of the bar that generates the signal. NOTE: Although this may appear artificial, because if a signal is generated on the close of last bar of the day it would not be possible to execute it, one needs to consider that there are actually 15 more minutes of trading time past the last signal of a day. Some additional notes and comments are available in the efs itself. These include how to enable the email, sound and visual alerts. No comments are here made or implied with regards to the merits (if any) of the system. From my point of view this was simply an exercise in writing some code. Alexis C.

i will tolerate being called names and the mods allow you to do this you have shown your cards jack your post are all the same. you posted links from my web site and then complained that i was promoting stuff to the mod who is protecting you. say what you want but do not call me names show me respect even though i am not a foollower of your struggle to learn to trade. mb
It would be in the best interest to MarkBrown to have this thread deleted as it shows what type of person he is and how low his character stands. MarkBrown, get this thread deleted at all costs if you want to make a living off of selling stuff to others. If you dont, and people read this thread, they will surely not buy the stuff you are selling.
Mark did the Oddball system work on finer fractals than the one hour marks on the time template? I know it is in all the time and that it may or may not reverse on an hourly basis. It seems transparent to me and as posted someone coded it from Oddball rather than reverse engineering it. Posting blotters often leads to reverse engineering but reverse engineering is not needed for transparent systems like SCT, PVT or oddball. A long time ago when posting daily results was going on with most people, the photoshopping claim became a common response to posts that were not understood by some people. Nitro who blew up in December 2006, was an early advocate of the photoshopping themes. He now has a job writing trading software. He did not reverse engineer the posts he claimed were photoshopped. Reverse engineering posted blotters has never happened on ET, however. Doing the photoshopping contributions is par for the course. I am an avid P&L follower. what I find most interesting is the waxing and wnaing of relative profits of those who post their results steadily. My fav is readon metals for many reasons. the many blotters posted in the SCT journal are different than the P&L posting for several reasons. The biggest reason is that different people are posting on the same method. Secondly the Journal blotters have different numbers of cars in them. Thirdly, the blotters do show some commonality on the timing. Mark's oddball has a strong emphasis on the top of the hour. I am unfamiliar with associating specific times with making trades. Tillson's T3 that Mark uses doesn't do the top of the hour emphasis either. Oddball, T3 versons, PVT and SCT keep people in the markets all the time as a commonality and trading is not competitive anyway but more a matter of making money as fast as possible. The difference between being in the market all the time and entry exit trading is how fast money is made. In all the time traders simply have more opportunity to take money out of the market. In and outers feel they know how much can be made and they use this as a standard. For those who are in all of the time, the in and outer standard is very small. I think that is why Nitro accused others of photoshopping. He simply has a standard of an in and outer. Mark makes 20 dollars a trade on ES when the sample is 1200 trades. Those who post blotters in SCT journal make many times more. For in and outers, 1 and 1/2 ticks a trade net is real, it is like scalpers do as well. having average net trades as big as the SCT trading yields is not real by this standard. Silvermotion feels a blotter proves something. Others need five years of notarized CPA reports. Maybe sometime in the future people will compare themselves to what the market is offering. I do that simply because I am improving what I do by giving consideration to other's successes. Mark is extending help to me by answering my questions. I admit I asked too many in my posts. I'm not a competitor by nature but I do look at things to see if others are doing better than me. If they are, then I stand to learn from them.
I agree with Tums, when I have finished trading for the day, I come here to play, it's FUN! Not only that we have some great people posting here
Posted by Bsulli on 11-28-03 08:00 AM: Mark Brown -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from Roscoe: I have had a couple calls from Justin Rucker of Open e-cry. Just calling to make sure that the demo is running OK and letting me know of any special offers that may be of interest to me. He is very low-key about everything, not pushy at all - sounds like a nice guy to me. I also saw somewhere that Mark Brown may be affiliated with Open e-cry. If this is true then it adds some significant weight to the company IMO - Mark is a major player. Does anyone have more info on this? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I been demoing the platform as has many on this thread and so far it's very stable. As for Mark Brown http://www.openecry.com/tools/oddball.cfm I think it's more of a we will trade his system for you relationship more than anything else. Good luck and good trading. Bsulli
WOW MOD AND SPYDERTRADER DID YOU SEE ALL THE advertisers WHO LOVE MARK BROWN'S SYSTEMS HERE ON ET VELOCITY FUTURES TICK QUEST OPEN E CRY GEE YOU GOING TO BAN THEM FOR LIKING MARK BROWNS FREE TRADING METHODS??

I TELL YOU WHY IT DIDNT SERVE YOUR PURPOSE TO BOOT ME OFF ET.. MB
the system is far more profitable in spurts than the hourly in smaller time frames. many people trade it on 30 minute. the reason it is at the top of the hour was due to the data and software at the time i developed it back in 87, using ned davis platform and it only had close on the hour data. i wanted to say i was struggling weather your just another fake username for spydertrader and running me around the bush with questions and picky comments that way off base. i can tell you have been hitting about 50% with all your assumptions and wonder how the heck did he get this out of that? unless your just trying to disassemble me little by little. if your for real and want something out of me fine i will give it to you but i would appreciate less negative assumptions and a few more positive assumptions from time to time not that i cant hold up but i dont have time to continually defend my self and tell you what i know also. and im not going to cause i dont have to. mb ps can someone tell me here this mods keeps warning me and riding my back about links, she says on my watch no one will ever post a link that has goods or services which aren't an et advertiser - is she for real is this the policy man i see links of crap and i do mean crap posted all the time by people here whats up with this? i cant imagine she is banishing everyone who post a link to something interesting. wow what a great et forum we have now days. no wonder their ad support is dropping off you can see it. i remember when every forum had sponsors now many dont. gee wonder why the trouble in commie land. the focus should be traders helping traders not mods helping paper traders keep a captive cult following. mb
