Thanks Tim and Sluggo!
See guys. This is what asking questions over and over will do. It gets you results. literally! Is there anyone out there who did not benefit by the charts Tim and Sluggo just posted! Wow! It has my attention! If anything, it confirms your own results. I suspect if I am nice, when I am ready to buy the software, Tim or sluggo might possibly be willing to guide me by phone to set up the parameters they used to get these results. (smile)
Thats all I ask for............simplicity. I was almost going to leave this board as some of the people here were getting irritated by not accepting what they said and just go out and buy the software, learn code and excel and go on my merry way experimenting. Whoaaa... whats the rush? I have my hand in many boards and many pies. Im trying to narrow things down gradually.
Hey, maybe a few of us will form a testing group from all of this. Maybe another newbie will ask a question all of you cant answer and that will make Tim and c.f. stretch to find out. Maybe, maybe , maybe. Ahhhhh..I love the world of infinite possibilities, dont you?
Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within has said, "there are 2 ways to learn. The hard way or the easy way. The hard and long way is thru your own experience. The easy and short way is thru someone elses." I cant think of an easier way than to keep asking questions. Thanks so much for your encouragement Tim.
A quick story: In the 80's I decided to learn karate. So I joined a school that was headed by the 3rd highest ranking shotokan instructor in the world. Everyone said to me.........."Dont worry about understanding everything. If you keep doing it, it will all come to you." I kept at it for 2 years. I didnt question what I felt were time wasting stupid drills that took the long road to get to a short place. The japanese often view time as not important. Spending 20 years to learn self defense is not questioned by many of them. So....I did what all the "masters" and experienced karate men at the school told me to do and was allowed to ask the occassional question. (big mistake!) 2 years later I decided to join a boxing gym and after 30 seconds in a boxing ring realized I wasted 2 years doing what looked good and sounded logical but would get be beaten up or killed in the street. So..after looking like a fool after 2 years of training I subconsciously told myself.................question everyone and everything!
"Respect all, listen to most, follow a few and walk your own path."
I believe asking questions is also an art. I dont ask questions to pick the winner in who is smartest. Or show my arrogance. I ask questions because I want to keep LISTENING! I want to keep hearing different points. i want to learn. And as one asks questions they learn to keep asking better questions! Are any of us masters yet at asking questions. I certainly am not and i spend all day trying to do it. In fact, we often cant answer the questions we ask ourselves. lol
Last story: I am 47 and still single. I learned that asking a woman a simple question usually gets the same answer but always a different result: I have asked over 1000 women in 8 years on the web "What do you want out of a relationship, and what are you willing to do to make it work?" Simple question ,yes? Not really. Every woman "says" they want to love and be loved, and give their man this and that and have babys and be a good wife and communicate and share good times, etc, etc but....................after 8 years, I havent found one person who can actually do most of it let alone all of it! Many cant even understand the question. Almost all cant go beyond that simple answer. Scary isnt it? It teaches me that perception of a simple question can have staggering differences! And a persons perception in answering and also behavior can be surprisingly oversimplified or too complicated. So, I go on my merry way, down my own path and I keep asking stuff. Oh yes....I now ask many, many more questions before making that first date. -)
I think I will stick around a while. Oh, by the way, what some of you dont know who are saying basically "Just buy it already!" is that I am on a trial with another software package and I dont want to overwhelm myself. I believe this trading blox will be the buy for me at the end, but if and when I do buy it, I want to know that this is the end of the road. I will hopefully devote my life to working with it and the people that want to work with me both on this board and other boards. I am merely polishing the blade with all my questions. So please guys. Dont chase me away. Encourage me. Post test results for different instruments and parameters to show me what's happening. I'm taking it all in. Promise. (smile)
happy new year all,
Marc
