mental health is something we are all grateful to have.

Nothing else matters if mental health is below par.

V; it is nice to have that trip goal. 3 per year is fantastic. I do about 2 good trips a year; and I am due for one soon to tour Europe by car.

meanwhile; I am looking for an assisted stretching instructor. Found one; but my wife did NOT approve. I guess I have to do it somewhere else other than my home office

Yeah man. I did 3 weeks of Europe by car last summer. Just trying to keep up with my average rate of travel. Used to be at least 2 international trips per year in the 1990s the dropped to one and then made it 3 when I turned 50. I plan my life goals when I cross the major 00 line lol. I think I am going to spare the cruising for the next decade or so. Too much to be around the same crowd 24x7 especially when the crowd demographical age is not what you expected. I need my God Damn space to myself and the best I can find is in my own balcony with no one around me. Had a peaceful night sleep in the balcony all night like a baby.

plus as a side thought, that small rover doesnt need to take off and leave again. could not. but the moon shuttle could easily absolve this 50 years ago. or not. LOL.
there is always, always another trade!!

Well, there's a difference between moon and mars: Mars has an atmosphere, the moon hasn't. And the mass of the mars is bigger than that of the moon ... What does it tell you about the existence of dust on the moon? Nothing, he?!

Back in town with a double doze of motivation, commitment and drive to get to the finish line..... hackathon starts now thru Sunday night to implement the incredible number of innovative ideas I allowed myself to soak in just by starring at the vast and incredibly powerful ocean. It was absolutely invigorating. There is a definitive pattern in how ocean waves are formed and dissolved. List of Research ideas will continue to grow till I am unable to think but priority is to make money! I shall return.... I shall prevail.... I shall conquer.... I shall define my own destiny on my chosen path under my terms and conditions and there is no quitting until the facts and data tell me otherwise. This journey continues with a overdoze of Out-Of-The-Box thinking never found on forums. Engage, participate, collaborate with or without me :-)

I am already crushing Sierra to it's knees so not sure how far I can keep pushing the capability of it's basic design without getting into spreadsheet studies. Got to clean up some crap that just does not work.

Until my return.......

I will update my list of research projects after I am done documenting my ideas. My mind is ready to explode :-)

Thinking is the magic pill to keeping my sanity. The day I stop thinking is the day I will go insane locked in a loony bin lol

Magic happens when you let the thought processes flow freely and unconstrained....but for that, one has to have a strong sense of sensibility and logic to kick the devil out from doing the damage. There is a strong reason why I went through my detoxification journey in 2016 and entering phase2 of "intoxication"... It's all documented via bookmarked posts on my profile page :-)

Welcome back bro. We missed you. Your strategy can be developed in under 60 mins in Sierra without any coding. Get rid of Ninja bro and turn that remaining $800 into 80K. you can do it !!!

Food for Thought..... for those who are 1) into sports or 2) like to coach/mentor 3) follow their coach/mentor (could apply to poker also but I don't know much about game theory)

Let's say, the sport is a 400meters relay (Run or Swim)
If a professional Coach is face with a decision of who goes first and last in the relay competition, what would be his criteria/logic/thought process for his picks in the following two scenarios

  1. All 4 players are performing at par (all with same level of skills/caliber)
  2. One of the 4 players is of Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt caliber and the remaining 3 have same skill/caliber

How is this related to trading? Hint: Trading frequency, consecutive win/loss, SL/TP/BE/(FLAT or Stop trading)

{quote} Update: Longer term Research Projects: Using OCF and conformity to OC Principle as a "Edge Discovery Tool" - Complete Using OCF and conformity to OC Principle to evaluate any system strategy for long term positive expectancy - Complete (my beliefs are confirmed) Using OCF to pinpoint transition between Trending and Ranging market conditions (In Progress - This is tough!) Mandlebrot, Tesla, Bill Williams/Chaos. Is Leonardo Da Vinci next ? or Quantum Physics (waiting for my son to get to text book). I need to quantify the measurement of speed....
Progress Update coming soon..... Introducing the concept of OC-TrendMeter and it's use in detecting the transition from Trending to ranging to trending cycles. I have applied what I observed on my trip starring at the vast OCEAN and how miniature waves are formed and dissolved. Similar action happens everyday in the markets across buyers and sellers resulting in HH/LL/HL/LH waves counteracting against and into each other. The act of mother nature at it's best..... until another act of mother nature causes a Tsunami to cause compelling momentum. I started this thread with a not so simple question.... How to traverse a coast line using mandlebrot's fractal theory? How to traverse the entire length of a trend from the beginning to the end? How to arrive at Land's end traversing a coastal PCH route (pacific coast highway)? How to traverse from SF to Cabo or SF to Seattle and traverse "inland"? All good to theorize this shit but can I capitalize on this? Time will tell... hopefully soon.... hopefully very soon... but this process CANNOT be rushed. I am trying to reveal in the thread what PROFESSIONALS do in the field of software engineering to develop robust strategies (software solutions) as part of system development life cycle. A post will follow soon why I have chosen this path of automation.... one thing for sure.... I am stretching Sierra to it's max. It is the best "analytical tool" by any standards, especially for those who cannot code!

EDIT: When I returned from vacation, I was excited to implement the potential of NANO-OC (similar to nano-tech) i.e. miniature OC auto-bots that can be fractalized using inception technique discussed in the millipede thread. On the onset, I had taken the pledge NOT to do things I have tried in Forex. My Universal Time Action strategy in spot fx was all about multi-pair, multi-tf, multi-position, currency strength hedging solution. With NQ, as I have mentioned before, only ONE pair, only ONE position, only ONE trade at a time, only ONE TimeFrame, No Hedging, No trade mgmt, No position mgmt, one entry and one exit at a time and possibly only ONE session (or OC) per day. This pre-condition in itself eliminates a ton of complexities. Imagine doing this shit on just ONE Price vs Time series. If this is achievable on one pair, realize the immense 'potential" to scale this over to 100s of instruments. In theory, it should as the underlying principles are all based on the ultimate principle of "Markets are Universal and Neutral".... phew! I am wired up and hope I can monetize this endeavor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
