Hmmmmm..... One of the problems that I am having in writing how I trade
is that I have moved from the lefthand side of the brain to the righthand
side.....
I consider myself a "Contextual Tarder = Intuitive/Knowing Trader"
everything in context.....including ones self...everything put into the
blender......and it comes out a very nice mix indeed...If can can ever
get a computer to do this the results would be amazing....Still working
on a paper on how I trade..... ;-) for those interested...

I know it is difficult to elicit 'knowledge' from people in the clear
and precise way that computers require. This may be part of the poor
communication between astro traders and system traders. To quote some

This addresses the possible complexity of astro systems, given the
large number of potential components and interactions. But even so

An indication of the 'intuitive' nature of this is also in a reply by
"Stig O" <olausson@xxxxxxxxxx>, when asked about data over a long
period of time:

It seems there is little or no software to even check astro methods
relative to trading, and charts are still used. This is a major
impediment to gathering statistical info on astro methods. This is
also mentioned by "Norman Winski" <nwinski@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

But, apparently, such a program does not exist yet.
So, it seems astro is an 'intuitive' technique, not currently
amenable to statistical analysis. Is this a fair assumption?
