[amibroker] Re: Below the support line

Fred,
you are still out of the subject. You try to understand me and my 
way, it would be better to add your opinion [if any] to the exposed 
questions. 
But, since you are curious, I will give some lines [for the last time]
I do not know how your brain works, I am not a brain analyst and I do 
not pay any respect to those left/right brain theories.
I have posted many extended studies here and in the AFL Library and 
Files section.
You know, full codes, applications, gifs, explanations [as possible].
No secrets, no magic codeless results, this attitude is totally out 
of my brain hemispheres.
I have introduced many innovative methods to study the market 
behavior.
My target is a Technical Analysis "without dead woods", to borrow 
this phrase from P. A. M. Dirac and his monumental
"Quantum Mechanicks without dead woods" article.
Except single indicators [the Relative Slope, the RSIt, the D-ratio, 
the D-sat to name a few] I designed, materialise grace to
the superb Tomasz work and support and presented here for the first 
time the theory of Composite tickers and their use to understand the 
market better . Many applications followed, a lot of discussion and 
CREATIVE criticism and, day by day, more friends use these tools .
I have proved [many times] the wrong logic of old T/A methods.
All this common stuff, MACD crossovers, RSI 30/70 etc, very popular 
and easily accessed in ANY T/A site or booklet are just dead, I mean 
you will loose your money with the slightest attempt to trade them. I 
really do not know if they were profitable once upon a time, I do not 
study T/A history [although it would be an interesting area, it would 
be tempty to do it 20 years later perhaps with my left or right 
hemisphere...]. 
The sure thing, for the last 3 years, is that you loose the half [or 
more] of your money with any of those pop systems. You call this 
period a "small window" but, for my study is the main thing. The 
bearish cycle is not finished yet [as you probably agree], I sleep a 
few hours BUT I sleep well and I am not dreaming any 99 bubble, I 
sold the hole portfolio [and I mean it] when my EXCEL equity curve 
crossed its 20-bar EMA, stay out for 5 months to calm down from the 
shock and moved quickly to the next page.
Thanks to amibroker great structure and all these CREATIVE 
discussions here I designed many new tools and I watch them in daily 
basis [the 20 available amibroker sheets have 4 or 5 or even 6 graphs 
per sheet and, believe it or not, it is useful material]
This daily observation gives some experience as time goes by. 
When I receive converging signals from 20 or 30 sources and compare 
with similar past behavior I come to some conclusions to "predict" 
the next market movement. 
Instead of posting full [and probably not interesting] details, I 
present a simplistic pattern like a triangle or a support
breakout or an o/s  MeanRSI, JUST TO INTRODUCE THE QUESTION. 
If you are interested to see behind the curtain,there are 10 or 20 or 
more converging reasons, it is not a simple triangle [how could it 
be !! I am not a fool !!]
This is the way I work, I really do not care if you like this way or 
not.
Since you are not my teacher, you will not tell me if it is "correct" 
or not.
I hope it is enough for your curiosity about the way I act, the 
question was not important for the readers and I have to concentrate 
again, Ken asked a tough question at #32977 message, I have to 
attempt some reply today.
I will refrain from answering personal questions in the future and I 
hope you understand.
Back to the subject now, have you any brilliant idea about the 
exposed questions ?
It would be interesting to know what to do if the market goes lower 
and move to UNKNOWN technical areas.
And, please, do not tell me to look back in 98 or 95 levels, the 
present situation HAS NOTHING TO DO with some similar by coincidence 
levels traded 5 or 50 or 500 years ago. Since we deal with real 
money, let us be serious, sir !!
