Yeah -- guilty as charged. I don't have a clue who the f-ck Metallica is. Only a narcisist would assume that everyone knows and likes the same music as them -- just saying... Isn't it so interesting the type of people who are attracted to DrDave -- ...

Hey son -- I care about you, too, as well -- even more sincerely than you care about me... As for my mental issues -- yep, well documented. And those don't even include the ones my wife would love to share with you... And as for ...

Hey @vnechev -- I don't know you and you don't know me. You posted a sentence on a public forum. And you expect readers to deduce that you are being ironic? Who the f-ck is Metalica? How narcisistic -- to expect strangers to be able to read your ...

@sharemaster2 -- DrDave has no grudge against you and wasn't really addressing you. He and Tekkies hate @emmanuel7788 with a passion. Since your earlier post acknowledged @emmanuel7788 then, of course, DrDave has to make a derogatory comment. Most ...

You did!!! In your prevous post!!! Another genius here -- no wonder DrDave has taken you on as a sidekick... image

Trading Made Simple

DrDave -- does blind like a bat apply to you, as well? FF shows 10 posts -- so, @emmanuel7788 was correct and you, sir, are wrong. image And as for @vnechev losing money, he says so in his own post -- the one you quoted. Are you going to beg ...

Hey @vnechev -- I have a suggestion to ease your troubles. Head on over to DrDave's IMT Academy thread. He is now lecturing on the role that hormones play in trading -- seriously, I'm not joking, see below. So 'yes', @vnechev, ignore what ...

Trading Made Simple

DrDave -- it's a true ghost town over at your IMT Academy thread. Don't you ever get tired posting to yourself? You've been slacking-off on your posting here. My guess is that it really pisses you off when people compliment and ...

Madam -- you've grown irrelevant. The electrons you send over the Internet are a waste of energy...

It appears things are pretty slow over at DrDave's IMT Academy. Normally the judges wouldn't count emojis toward your alotted 10 posts / day -- but since that's about your speed they decided to count this one. 2 down and 8 more posts to go!! DrDave ...

But @parisboy -- there is nothing to test -- neither mathematically nor visually. All the CMA lines can safely be shifted to the right by 8 bars and it won't affect anything, with the exception that all the extensions will be 8 bars shorter and CMA ...

Trading Focal Points -- "A Leap Of Faith"...

@parisboy -- I have a question / comment about the backshifting that I hope you can address. I'm about to make a controversial statement: There is no reason for CMA 16 to be backshifted by 8. The backshifting should go like this: CMA 16: Backshift = ...

Wow, wow -- there is a lot of meat here, thank you @FXEZ. Between you and @parisboy I have a lot of noodling to do...

Trading Focal Points -- "A Leap Of Faith"...

I haven't yet received an answer to my earlier questions. That's okay -- I'm reading between the lines and charts... I have a couple of points to make and I'm curious whether they resonate with anyone else... (1) This regards the ...

I've modified this indicator and changed the dots to lines... Subtracting the SMA lines from Price action -- i.e. computing the differences or deltas -- has the effect of normalizing data. We are no longer distracted by the absolute price which will ...

Trading Focal Points -- "A Leap Of Faith"...

A new indicator -- R4M-Double-TopBottom-Inverse. I like it. I've marked major transitions above / below the zero baseline with vertical green lines. It aligns well with the R4M-Sinewaves-Return-To-Mean indicator (which would be expected), as well as ...

Trading Focal Points -- "A Leap Of Faith"...

@parisboy -- I'm beginning to come around to see things like you... Okay -- the CMA / SMA lines do use recent data. However, they also use different backshifts. So, there are times when CMA 16 is using real data and CMA 32 is using extrapolated ...

Definitely not "the Chicago Way"...

Trading Made Simple

Okay -- I've done some initial noodling, though I still require more time... Regarding the definition of CMA -- I agree. And MT4's corresponding SMA is computed the same way. It does use all the data -- including the most recent bars. I have a ...

Trading Focal Points -- "A Leap Of Faith"...

Thank you, @Swingman. I remember the picture, but forgot the story. I hope you don't mind if I repeat it here -- it made me chuckle again. From @Swingman's post in a different thread (circa 2009) url ...
