Dear Albee,
There's a couple of things getting mixed up as I'm mentioning a trade set-up based on astronomical (does he mean astrological?) aspects...
Long means open buy and close means close sell, vice versa for shorts: open sell and close buy.
The signals are quite good on first sight albeit I'm not satisfied yet because:
a) it takes me too much time to collect and analyze the bunch
b) I still haven't got the feeling I'm approaching it as scientifically like I'd like to
The first set-up is straightforward in a no-nonsense way as described. What I want to do is have an AI look over all astronomical (again, astrological?) aspects... but you understand there's too much to do with too little time to do it or vice versa... anyway, my aim of switching off the computers yesterday at noon and not starting them up again until this evening has been thwarted once again bigtime.
Started this morning setting up a structure in collecting the astronomical aspects (astrological?), will be followed by the wine sessions where I'll, while enjoying a good glass of wine, and another, and another... be thinking about how I can automate things... because I'm of the opinion that my 'puter must do the calcs and me the thinking work... but mark you, the latter isn't always appreciated by the wider community because they think the 'puter also does the thinking...
Careful now, because the Retrograde of Mercurius (must be astrology, never heard of a retrograde in astronomy, "receding of Mercury"?) often "disturbs" the TA signals... which I've pointed out to GJN in his thread last year and scorn was heaped on me by the community there... and then there's of course just plain new aspects that have an influence (read past services/results/happenings (odd choice of words, marm) en then of course I'd have to make a crossing/hybrid (whatever that may mean in astrology) of those aspects with Mercury in retrograde (receding?) and... pfft, I'm quitting...
Greetings.
