Stopped Critical Thinking lab rats stop me all the time and ask me why I love Jack so, so much (as you can see by their tireless posts here.) Well, you know I talk straight so I confess, it's because Jack works miracles. Here's an example. (I've put some parts in bold as a repetition for SCT readers so they could use it as a mantra.) JEDI JACK TEACHS THE BLIND TO TRADE <hr>Jack hershey _ Registered: Feb 2003 Posts: 3146_ 12-23-08 09:38 PM ...I've declined positions in Zurich (Jung Inst) and Michigan (Dept of Psychiatry). Bla, bla, bla... Today, on NPR, I heard an interviewer draw out a neuro scientist on a study of a blind person who could walk through maizes without bumping into anything. Bla, bla, bla TRADING HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH LOOKING AT THE SCREEN AND ITS DISPLAY Trading has little to do with looking at the screen and its display. BY DEALING ONLY IN CERTAINTY By dealing only in certainty and creating an algorithm that parallels the mind's building process, it is possible to extract the offer of the markets optimally. Bla, bla, bla This person talked about in the interview is known by his initials. He is blind by all the sensory tests and examinations. Two strokes made him blind. His nerves work as before beause they were tested and as expected were not part of the strokes he endured. I KNOW HE COULD SIT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN ??? AND TRADE (JACK, OH JACK â DOES IT MATTER IF IT'S A CRT?) I know he could sit in front of a screen and trade just as he can walk thorough maizes (the maize experiments were an after thought of his treatment folks where they got the surprise of their lives). ...The common experience is doing trades that turn out to be correct but this doing process is not a conscious one. ...Before, the trades were correct without conscious perception; after, they are correct because their is conscious perception. Building the mind is largely done unconsciously. Skills acquisition comes from a flowing process whereby the unconscious leads the conscious. Bla, bla, bla ...How could this blind person avoid the obstacles in the maize? Why don't the people working with him know why the phenomena occurs? They are like most people who are engaging in skills application and do not know, thoroughly, how the mind works. Bla, bla, bla THE BLIND PERSON IS USING HIS EYES the blind person is using his eyes to sense and sending the information to his unconscious which precedes and parallels his function other than what he does to report out orally what he "can no longer see". But his mind does still conducts his body around all of the objects in the maize simply because that "unconscious", non "visual" portion of his mind still works and has the connections to his bodily movement. "I can't tell you why a took that trade but I know it was the right thing to do". Of course, the mind is still growing the consciousness from the operating unconscious. Synaptically speaking, it is a doubling down on the neuron intensity of wiring (1300 to 2700 connections per neuron). Inference makes up 90% of perception and sensory is 10%. Philosophy does little to think critically about how the mind works, what is available and how it is available. The pragmatic aspects of taking the market's offer optimally, come down to two kinds of perception: what perception is philosophically and what the mechanics are of perception. About 100 millisecond sweep rates, the trade can use his eyes and trade "unconsciously"; when you slip down to fast sweeps of information then use an ATS and read the print. THINKING IS FUN BUT CRITICAL THINKING IS HOW INTELLECTUAL PROGRESS IS MADE Thinking is fun but critical thinking is how intellectual progress is made. <hr> Yes SCT lab rats, Jack is amazing. Next Jack is going to teach the dead to trade and his finale is, wait for it... Jack is going to teach Neoxx to trade with his eyes closed!
I'm going to get my dear blind friends to read this and come back to you Jack, but we need to experiment to see if they need to sit in front of the screen or not. I take it you've actually proven this blind trading farce in the same way you've proven the rest of SCT and you're not insulting blind people like you do the SCT lab rats? Will you hypnotize the blind traders too? Still waiting darling. Tara x
These people are so desperate for Jack Hershey to "be right" now they're looking at a 2.5 minute chart of the YM and comparing it to the 5 minute chart in the hope that it will lead them to the promised land of "the YM leads the ES". How can otherwise intelligent people be so "functionally stupid"? Perhaps Tums can drop-in and explain the phenomena to us ... as he seems to be suffering from it also.
Good news - well kind of. I had a word with my friend John who is blind from birth. John thinks blind trading could become all the rage. He's as keen as mustard, as is his dog. He thinks the dog might give him an edge as he tells me it "sees" UFO's, ghosts and aliens so SCT should be winner. Jack, you're an absolute genius. I'm reading your bootcamp hypnotic stuff now. John says he can feel the market even before we start. SCT is for the blind. Why didn't I see that from the start. Hey SCT guys, feel free to contribute if you are reading this and you are blind.
Dear Tara, kindly permit one of Jack's generational cohort to explain. It is all in the spirit of good fun. Once one reaches a certain age where one can no longer affordably and/or credibly seduce much younger women, one gets one's jollies where one can. And if those seduced happen to be male, and at some safe remove, where's the harm? My dear friend the poster Socrates knows all about that. He and Jack actually provide a valuable service. When the seductee finally realizes how foolish he was, he has lifetime inoculation against a relapse. Painful, perhaps, but then most inoculations are. And speaking of my friend Socrates, recall that he was condemned to death by the Athenian state for corrupting the morals of the youth. A specious charge, for I can tell you they were already quite corrupt without his help, as are today's youths without Jack's. Socrates became a martyr. Take care that you do not do the same favor for Jack. Recall that he uses his real name, as do Don Bright and myself, so one day you will hear of his death, and feel remorse that perhaps you unkindly hastened his journey. When you have demonstrated sufficient contrition I shall tell you more about Jack's good works.
Let me assure you Albert, younger women are seduced by power and when they see it, age is most definitely the last thing of concern. Can't you see how opposites attract? This thread is nothing more than a love poem to Jack, a lengthy sonnet, a dance like a praying mantis beckons her mate. Jack fascinates me. Never mind when Jack departs this life, right here and now I ache for Jack to post. When JH leaves this earth, you and I will raise a glass to the man who ruled ET and raised the SCT standard like the Statue of Liberty. Here's to Jack!
Being of Greek descent, so to speak, I fear that I share a certain dark attraction. I am decomposing my thoughts and will later confide in you from a personal perspective how my own fascination with Jack enhanced my trading.
Well, sooner rather than later. My thoughts fell apart quicker than I expected. Like a fish that knoweth not the air, I knew not that I was conventionally wise, before Jack defined the CW. In my mis-spent youth (my fifties), I bought and read all the right books on edge development and backtesting, and became quite deficient at both skills. Then I read that magical word "continuous!" I saw that this edge here and that edge over there could be "seamlessly" connected with a plethora (bad word to use, mine is bothering me just now) of subordinate edgelets (new word). Soon I was "trading!" Now your task, young lady, as a critical thinker, is to decide if this histoire is flatulently flagellant, or if it conceals a core of truth you need to comprehend about "s", "c" and "t.".
LOL Albert Edgelets: what a splendid word. I believe in edgelets, unlike SCT. But s,c, & t make perfect sense. Creativity is often sparked by influences that gel together to form a new whole. Dance, music, cooking etc. - all the arts embrace your idea. Jack is almost there too but his stitching falls apart at the seams, as does his thinking. By the way, my blind friend is making one hell of a mess of Jack's channels and the dog is no help. Is Jack sure this SCT for the blind works? I've got John "looking" at the screen declaring he can see but it's going downhill badly.
