Looks like it is time to repeat the message for the folks that are lax about reading the thread.

What were BigE's actual words about EAs?

Moe, We don't want any EA's. Why? They can't observe and think like humans can and do. You need to learn to think on your own while trading and making your own decisions. Most EA"s don't work well anyway... sorry buddy...
Here are the very important words, "We don't want any EA's." Notice that important qualifier-ANY. To help those that have comprehension problems with English, we can reorganize this to "We want NO EA's."
It is important when performing the textual exegesis to not pull the words out of context, but to study not only the immediately surrounding text, but other text that the writer has presented on the subject. An important element in the analysis that is too often overlooked is what is NOT said.
There are a variety of EAs that have a range of functionalities. There could very well be EAs that would provide some type of aid for some people. But that fact becomes moot and unproductive to discuss, because from post #139, it is very clear that BigE did not want EAs of any kind. If BigE were interested in having some kinds of EAS, for example "helper" EAs that could do something like sound an alert when a TDI green cross red occurred, then he would have included a list of exceptions for certain types of EAs. No exceptions were given.
So, for those of you that like the idea of using EAs in this thread, consider the wishes and WORDS of BigE and decide if you will show respect for his wishes and not discuss EAs in this thread, or simply treat the thread as the Toxic Dump Thread and do whatever you feel like doing.
You can try to keep the thread on track (with ONLY HA bars, TDI, and stochastics), or add more to the Dump. You're free to choose.
