Have been banned from the forums and my trading account was frozen.
Oddly was able to get into the forums this afternoon, don't know how nor why.
No
one sent me a notice when my account was frozen. No one sent me a
notice when I was banned from the forums. And no one sent me a notice
that I could get back on the forums.
The
banning and freezing of my account without notice, without explanation,
were my rewards for 12+ years of loyalty and 12+ years of forum
contributions and 12+ years of helping TS behind the scenes... |

FWIW my email address is tachyonv@att.net.
Unlikely you will reliably be able to contact me in these forums, nor in TS messaging.
Regarding my cancer and health: I am a dead man walking.
Cancer
has spread. I may have only days or weeks or maybe 3 months to live. A
very few in my condition live 9 months. None in my oncologist's
experience have ever lived 12 months from this point onward.
Pain is terrible
at times even with morphine and hydrocodone. I don't want the pain med
dosages to be so high that my mind and consciousness are fogged up -
want to spend as much time as I can with my little grandkids, enough
time so that they will remember me as their fun, loving grandpa...it is a
tradeoff, strong pain is the price for a clear mind.
Have been in lot of pain this afternoon and evening.
This
Tuesday June 4, will meet with radiology specialist at UT Southwestern
Med Center, Dallas, to discuss and choose possible treatments to reduce
the pain. No radiation, no chemo and no surgery can cure this cancer at
this stage of its development.
On Wednesday June 5, will
undergo a whole body MRI, and two full body bone scans in an attempt to
see how badly the cancer has already spread. At UT Southwestern Med
Center, Dallas. This particular cancer expands in sheets, covering
internal organs, tissues rather than growing as tumors. Makes it very
hard to detect by any kinds of imaging. Even hard to find via biopsies.
Oncologist seems to think the cancer has spread fairly far. One purpose
of these scans is to see if surgery can be performed on my femur and
pelvic bones to prevent or delay shattering of the femur as the cancer
progresses...so that I can avoid being wheel chair bound as long as
possible. The progressive damage this cancer will do to me eventually,
and the pain yet to come, are pretty discouraging.
Monday June
10 meet with world famous doctor at MD Anderson in Houston. This doctor
is a specialist in experimental treatments - meeting is to see if there
might be any treatments that will ease the pain, delay the cancer's
progress, or even cure me. Highly unlikely there is any cure for me,
Best case may be my taking part in an experimental treatment that might
help others in the future.
Tuesday June 11 meet with nurse
practitioner to learn more about hoe this degenerative cancer will
proceed, get coaching about variety of things like pain management etc.
However, need to reschedule this counseling because I want to be in
Kansas City for the birth of our second granddaughter, via our daughter
on June 11. Grandkids come first.
As a veteran will be buried
in the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery. And no, don't be ghoulish, I
do not know the dates for my coming wake, funeral and burial.
IMHO, my greatest contribution for/to y'all is not trading. Rather, it is this:
the meaning of life is simple: grandkids. Ultimately nothing else matters. Nothing else at all!

TY Math.
To
all: consider Any Rand's "Atlas Shrugged". A strong out of control
central government under the heels of empty suits. Said government
attempts to force everyone down to the same level - to each according to
their need, from each according to their abilities. Those who
contributed the most to society, penalized the most.
So anyway, what happens during the novel and movie?
Throughout the novel a code phrase was voiced: "Who is John Galt?"
Shortly
after hearing this phrase, individually those who contributed the most
to society began to disappear, disposing of their businesses and taking
back whatever contributions these entrepreneurs had made to society.
Their services and products were withdrawn and the country and society
began to collapse. Those with abilities withheld. Those with needs
consumed. Oops.
Well, to a far lesser degree. "Who is tachyonv?"
Going. Gone.
And
hopefully therefore TS will delete all of my threads, my EL library
contributions and my posts. I certainly hope so, I have requested that
TS do this.
Maybe some herein will follow me and close their
accounts and delete their threads and posts, a la "Atlas Shrugged" and
ask "Who is tachyonv?" until those out of control inside TS are gone. Or
maybe not. Regardless, tachyonv is gone.
I did find it odd
that there were TS clients who privately admitted to me that they were
afraid of TS. That is kind of like being afraid of our own government.
Both are wrong situations. Both indicate governance is fouled up.
Most odd. Well, shades of John Galt... Who is tachyonv? |

Hang around a while Vince. They're filming part 3 of Atlas Shrugged.
How
prophetic was Ayn Rand? Well, she saw her dad's Pharmacy business
confiscated by Lenin's Red Guard in Russia, so she had personal
experience with an oppressive centralized government. The same thing
that the Anti-Federalists like Presidents Jefferson and Monroe, and
patriots Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry were worried about.

P.S. The game's not over until the fat lady sings. http://discovermagazine.com/2007/sep/the-body-can-stave-off-terminal-cancer-sometimes#.UauoOJyJl8E
In any case, you have left your family, country and us a great legacy. We'll miss you here in the forum.

Thank you for the update Vince, i'll be thinking of you. Whatever may await you, wishing you an easy passage.
I
remember when i first came to the TS forums some years ago. Quite
quickly i ran into a technical problem and guess who was the first
person to give me help, and detailed help at that? You made me feel very
welcome and part of the community. Your actions speak volumes about the
kind of man you are. |

Took a few trades today in SPY & GLD. Viewing the charts below.
The
1st trade in GLD seemed to be a good R/R so when the alert went off I
took it,risking .13 to make .52. It didnt work out though. The 2nd GLD
trade did. I scaled out of this position at what I saw were S/R price
levels. It came .01 to the target of .52 where I took my 2nd exit. Then
exited after it fell thru the most recent support level as seen on a
1min chart.
Based on the SPY chart (trading UPRO) I took 2
entries (1st white+orange arrows). I scaled out on both though neither
reached the .52 target. After the 1st scale out I then exited when price
retreated back to my entry. The reason I flagged it orange was because
the 5min bar was red not green which I had reservations about doing.
There
was another signal (2nd white arrow) at 12:40 on SPY but I was out
washing the dog and missed it. It did make the .52 UPRO target.

If I was the one that created this topic I would have left it intact, its sure not going to hurt TS
by deleting It, say in five years someone would read this topic and think that the author of this
topic was very intelligent and was very generous by helping fellow traders and leave a long lasting legacy. |

| I
am not sure how many if anyone else is trying to trade using this
strategy. We can create a new post from what we have written down for
the method/rules so we can let this one remain as Vince wants, thoughts
on that? |

Since
I haven't followed the regular trade postings to this topic since April
2012, can anyone tell me if some have tried to codify this system into
an AutoStrat, even though Tach said it was not suitable for automating.
Thanks! |

boot!
The more I look at this the more I think price may need
to penitrate the Keltner Channell and %R needs to have gone below 20 and
then recovered above for an entry. Still just guessing.
Looking at a porprietary RSI in place of the %R too.

One of the other suggestion by tach in his first post is:
"-
Often the lowest prices of the morning are between 9:30 AM CDT and
10:30 AM CDT. Study the history of each symbol to see if there is a
recent repeated pattern of such lows. Often the highest price is at
12:35 PM CDT followed by a decline."
So maybe we should not trade before 10:30 AM EDT or ....

tradingdude. i've read all 23 pages of this post and also all of the
pages of the thread you were kind enuf to post today. i've picked up

i.e., tachyonv's instructions and also the indicators he shared with you
folks. i've gotten a couple of the indicators from mushin...'s posts
but the keltner channels all indicator wasn't there. that's fine. this
will just make me work harder to get there, lol. old woman here. i
really enjoy reading what all you wonderful folks post, especially all

| Vince,
You will be missed by this old TS poster if you don't beat this.
Cancer is an uncaring bitch and took my Dad from me. You are one of the
best and high up the totem pole favorites of my history here. Stay
strong. |

I
haven't had time to properly keep up with these forums for a long time
now due to other contractual work obligations that up to now have only
had limited use for the TradeStation platform. TS is still a good tool
for rapidly testing out ideas though so it stays around.
I didn't know he had no access here currently, I will send him an email. Thx.
I
hate cancer and hate hearing about anyone I know that is dealing with
it. As I get older and older there are just more and more people I know
that have to fight it including many within my own extended family. I
may end up having to deal with it myself. A man that would choose heavy
pain over being doped up too much to spend good time with family is a
hell of a man in my opinion. |

Tach
From one Grandpa to another I know what you are talking about relative to the importence of your grandkids.
Have
enjoyed following your thoughts over the last 12 years and hope you
beat this. But if you don't, you are going out with your boots on....
