  1. To increase chances of good help Best to post the code and a brief description of where you're blocked... and do same on TS forum...
  2. DB, Thanks again for keeping us in the box. I personally followed that divergence because, while it may not be among the rules of the book per se big parts of poker zen ARE how fast (or slow) one plays and ARE the speed of games one plays in ... and that has little to do with sychology (remedial or otherwise)
  3. From the beginning of the campaign, the proper interpretation of the word "CHANGE" was and is - radically increased government assistance (...socialism...) which 'necessitates' / leads to radically increased government supervision (don't get me started on the inevitable inefficiencies of that) radically increased transfer of wealth (which had actually start long ago but now this is the NEW slavery, folks... starting to understand change yet?) basically the change is to end the republic for which it stands. Denials, reinforced by network commentariat, aside If you vote for a democrat you are voting for a socialist. If you vote for a republican you are voting for a democrat There are only one or two republic-ans left...
  4. I would add that instead of working with the levels of personality and its external measures, it would be far more productive to make the distinction and intensively explore one's own 'true nature'- both subjectively and objectively. ...and this applies to mastering any of these 'performance games' discussed herein.
  5. re etc Sherlock, I'm a little surprised only DB and BF called you on that. Hopefully, the rest of TL didn't think it was 'trading wisdom'...
  6. Qu|cksilver, Along with efa's, you might try Phosphatidylserine (PS). See http://www.primordialperformance.com/store/Phosphatidylserine_EndoAmp.html Also look at FocusFactor, Attend, etc type products http://www.zlabs.us/brainfocus.html etc. imo, Any and all supplement, nootropic, etc stacks and rotations should be individually tuned. Also, doing cleanses and getting in good HRV shape can help the trading brain. For more, PM me. (not selling any products or services...) OAC, how do you do the Ginkgo? Roll your own, pipe, or bong ?
  7. Curtis, Please find eld attached. Not tested. Not style, color, etc. formatted either... hth, zdo WPRWAVGS.ELD
  8. Curtis, Are you trying to run HMA's on the price/chart or of the %R
  9. Tell your friend 1. to continue to fit the system to his self. Most try to fit themselves to a system or attempt some compromise in between. 2. let him know that the consensus here is that he’s not quite there yet. I think he’s in ‘no man’s land’ and if he’s not willing to do a lot more work and development, he’s doomed. Posted above where imo he needs to get. 3. that inverted high frequency trading will teach him more about staying in synch realtime with the auctions than just about any other way and can accelerate progress on the requisite screen time needed to be adaptive enough to thrive long term. 4. that once he has mastered staying in synch realtime, then he can begin to sensibly leave appropriate size on at his old targets and suddenly realize he’s getting loaded up ahead of the bunches and beating them at getting out too 5. that once he has mastered staying in synch his drop dead stop might remain ~20 ticks but he will be exiting losers way ahead of that. 6. that he’s not normal… that he’s on his own… to expect no short cuts or significant assistance… to put in earplugs and blinders, tighten his equipment and go straight ahead.
  10. shortski, Please just post the eld and it'll get fixed quickly and efficiently for you and those trying to help. thanks. zdo
  11. Did you try changing the style from histogram to point? Which subgraph are you plotting it in? Maybe post the code for all and we'll get it going
  12. More how would I know that ? Tell your friend to refine it to at least 1:2.1 w/l size and >93% w/l rate and get very proficient in sizing mm - then he'll have fun at his game...
  13. slighty but Odds are it will be <> 20, not 20 tick losses that take your friend down... (...especially the > 20 variety) ...now how would I know that ?
  14. did you try? value1=GordoMACDDiff(Clos e,12,26); value2=$rtOscillatorDiver gence(high,low,value1,0.9 ); value3 = ThreeLineBreak; Condition1 = value2 >=0 and value3 >=0; Condition2 = value2 <=0 and value3 <=0; noplot(1); If Condition1 then begin Plot1(1,"Buy",green); end; If Condition2 then begin Plot1(-1,"Sell",red); end; btw The EL editor / compiler only asks for an 'end;' if there is a 'begin'
  15. if your logic is correct then try... If Condition1 then Plot1(1,"Buy",green) else Noplot(1); etc and use a point not a line in the style hth

    Quick MA

    1st one approx same as time shown above. 2nd one from today... hth
  17. Still don't understand what "Atlas Shrugged" means ?? But HEY! don't worry, folks - Michelle will take care of you However...
  18. The economist Dean Baker is a strong advocate of a financial transactions tax “For the typical person holding stock, who is planning to hold it for a long period of time, paying the quarter of one percent on a trade is just not that big a deal… It raises money in a way that comes primarily at the expense of speculation,” said Mr. Baker. “The fees would be a considerable expense for someone who is buying futures, or a stock, or any asset at 2 o’clock and then selling it at 3. The more you trade, the more you pay… " The sponsors in congress are http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-7125 These are well meaning folk who philosophically believe that those who created the mess should pay for the mess. And I guess no one has yet been able to convince these interests that the fiat money system itself created the very heart of this monetary situation and inevitable crisis... and the real problem is not how various interests (banks, brokerages, investors, traders, etc) attempt to exploit / survive in the situation. Govt again confusing effects for cause... hth

    Quick MA

    Find attached screenshot with Red = Hull White = Quick Blue = Jma All set to 4 periods Hull definitely turns faster Jma definitely goes flat faster and more smoothly than the other two (and that is about the only utility for mov avgs I have) Quick came along for free so I shared it for ppl who don’t like to buy closed source products etc. ie best one depends on your own distinctive needs. hth PS rurimoon re "Basically it change its formula base on which period it used" That particular one is not it... :hmpf:
  20. Look at ZigZag2.5 You might have to modify or comment a bunch out but the framework for what you want to do is in there...
  21. It looks like this didn't make into the current TARP bill All the amendments except 6 or 7 were dropped. However the interests behind this are sticking / hiding it in every bill they can so we need to stay vigilante (sp) They will strategically try to sneak it in as a rider on a big or "late night" bill
  22. Let's not get distracted re offshore! Not everyone can go off shore. Instead, if this passes, many many traders will go out of business! :helloooo: Want to pay a huge tax on the face value of each of your trades AND continue to pay taxes on your profits too? This is hidden under the TARP folks http://www.rules.house.gov/111/AmndmentsSubmitted/hr384/61_111_hr384_welch.pdf :bad idea: If you can make an eloquent case please contact your reps and the reps behind this https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml
  23. Hi, This is interesting - for one, because during congestion it better for me to fade my 'accumulators' Urma, does Net New Trade have a trade size condition in its calculations? Thanks, zdo
  24. http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/Greenblog011409.pdf This can't be pretty. Traders in general need to wake up for this one! I am rattling some cages in DC and making preliminary preparations to go offshore... suggest you do the same...
