Of all the participants in this 2002 trading contest Jack came dead last http://groups.google.com/group/misc...a927db8ba840?hl=en&lnk=st&q=hershey+loses+24# Another SCT success story
Jack is too busy extracting 3x the daily range from the respective particpants, to reply now, in an honest and straightfoward fashion to this thead. In no time at all, they will be setting back enough capital extraction, now, and proceeding at a rate that is 4 times the stated goal, blah blah blah, and so forth.
As of right now ET has 105,732 threads on it. How many of them are about Jack Hershey? When does this end? What is this fascination with Jack Hershey? He's just another bullshitter on the internet, are you guys shocked by that? Are you astounded that someone could spew gibberish on the internet and you just have to warn everybody? Please guys, enough is enough. One Jack Hershey thread per month, that's all that will be allowed from now on. (In any month that he uses the term "Gaussian" you may create two threads).
Jack Hershey View profile More options Mar 3 2002, 12:34 pm Eddie is an former contributor here; he pooped out a while back for his reasons. As such, a lot of people can identify with him. His viewpoints of me have been fairly consistent, a lot of people identify with these too. Like nkhoi and uenal. He says: I have concepts that I espouse. I am a master of my writing style. I have some powers that I use. He feels the concepts do not work, that I write poorly for him to be able comprehend, and he wants to protect others from my intimidation. To be helpful to Eddie, I recommend a concept that will work for him: put me on ignore. If he can't understand this or it's intimidating (sort of sounds like it to me) or it's not to his liking, then he should continue to be my foil as he has in the past because he enjoys it. I can use his comments to clarify where he is coming from and the possible ways to undo the situation he is in and why he got there. It is helpful to me too when I do this because I can focus on the NLP aspect of where people get stuck in not becoming wealthy. We can use Van Tharp, Tad James and Meyers-Briggs as the focus. Eddie always makes requests of me and others, without exception. He needs several things this time: One simple testable trading pattern. An acceptable test, to him, to show "a positive expectation" for the above. So lets see if Eddie wants to put me on ignore of if he wants to be my foil. What I am personally going to do is imagine this as a junior high classroom. And Eddie is there too most days. He has loads of Arm's and uses them. I do not want to expand on this classroom scene at this point but I do want to see it develop into a sophisticated place to get the record straight on this lap with Eddie. If you goggle Eddie you can see the other classes he is attending and how he is using his Arm's in them. The simple trading pattern, a concept in TA, that I think will be most rewarding for Eddie to begin with is the support/resistance pattern that forms all trends and non-trends. The other item, "a positive expectation" is Eddie's job to create since it is his test criteria. He might do it at various levels of significance. Level one for me is done with a straight edge and an eraser and a pencil and a thousand charts. I will be looking for two points on the bottom and two points on the top. We may get into details related to making money. I will scour my notes to find a simple rule that might apply if Eddie gets to the place that besides a pattern you need a corresponding algorithm or a least a couple of rules. So far he hasn't understood this as yet. I prefer to forward test these things but back testing should not be too hard if anyone wants to do it. If Penal does it, then I recommend that he set up a Asian distribution in his plan before he embarks on an analysis. This will help Eddie out a lot because he needs to learn what a valid and statistically significant test is. I especially like the second item, because I think we can all find out what "a positive expectation" is very soon or never if the term is in the incoherent category. We can put all the concepts that do not meet this result in a category that is the subset of things that do not work for people like Eddie. Eddie cannot use the whole spectrum of concepts because of his personal programming. The pair that exists for making money is: the algorithm and the operator. An algorithm might work but the operator might not work. For example, Eddie has determined at this point that I have concepts, he says, and he says as a topic sentence that I can't trade. I am an example of the pair. So is Eddie. We do not know his algorithm for making money as yet, though. Lastly with respect to the thread, I feel it is fortuitous that the originator is deep in research of this sort and that he continues along this path. It draws all this kind of thinking to one place and provides a terrific platform for what you are going to see until Eddie poops out again.

Jack's record speaks for itself <a href='http://www.mediafire.com/?0ielxnmeiro'>http://www.mediafire.com/?0ielxnmeiro</a> Well well well.. look at ole Jackie buying the top
LMAO BB, you are one funny mofo ... The real mystery is why otherwise very intelligent human beings can't wait to chuck quarts German beersized mugs of jack's koolaid? Eventually calling it quits when they fail to understand the primary relationship between: 1) Gaussians 2) FFT 3) Pool extration 4) Dominant traverses and trading ... mainly because there isn't one.
Here's my view of Jack Hershey in a nutshell. Jack churns out fantastic, unsupported claims that he never provides proof of, like this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=912447&highlight=#post912447 But in reality he LOST 24% in a trading contest and unsuccessfully tried to obfuscate his way out of it on Usenet: http://groups.google.com/group/misc...a927db8ba840?hl=en&lnk=st&q=hershey+loses+24# He also tried to BS his way out of yet more of his sinking stock picks that lost $22,000: http://groups.google.com/group/misc...d/thread/981513b3a003f259/2db2e88d1407af42?hl In Oct 06 Jack told his IBD Group (now led by someone else) that he would turn $10 thousand into $1 million in 100 days and post updates on ET. IT DIDN"T HAPPEN. http://www.mediafire.com/?1gi2qygm3yh No surprise, because if you backtest his model of the price, volume relationship by buying the "0 to 7 turn" described in "Tomorrow's Paper Today" you'll get an equity curve like this: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2014607> Which looks eerily like the equity curve you get when you test his "rocket" methodology: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1112121> Kind of what you'd expect from someone who thinks stochastics is a leading indicator: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1302778&#post1302778 Of course Jack and his followers try to blame the failure of his "methods" on the backtester, so listen to Jack brag about this trade in his own words: http://www.mediafire.com/?0ielxnmeiro <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2023032> Some unfortunate newbies who get sucked in by Jack's pied piper routine start out ingratiating and actually believe Jack is giving away the "keys to the kingdom." But this one eventually came to his own conclusion that Jack is "nuts": http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1940582#post1940582 How far down this path do you want to go?
