Who We Be?
Algorithm driven trading focused on Human Habitual Herding is at the core of
It’s C. X. Al+go, and algo is short for algorithm. Stocks and options are the trading instruments of choice and Bulls, Bears and Foxes constitute the trading zoo, and all are equally friendly. Economics and financials are meaningless in trading and every trade has three components that drive emotion: risk, price, time. Focus on the game, not the money, and the reward will follow.
Interpreting market emotion is akin to reading body language while aided by Dr. Paul Ekman's techniques regarding human facial expressions. Algorithms are about empirically driven logic and automation, not the popular but absurd Artificial Intelligence, because Intelligence cannot exist without innate emotion and instinct and without knowing what one/it doesn't know— although inane emotion is pervasive in today's society. We trade Psychology, Patterns, and Probability and Randomness doesn't exist in markets or the Universe. It's a matrix of asymmetrical symmetries, and if one seeks perfection, one will never accomplish anything.
We decipher aggregate trader sentiment patterns built from simple, readily available market data. We capitalize as a counterparty to Emotional Rapid Reaction — ERR — and employ a strategy used in Hollywood script writing: GILGOE, or Get In Late, Get Out Early. Trading is analogous to conducting an orchestra: must know what instruments to play and when.
Our stock market trading model is driven by our ASS algorithm: Aggregate Stock Sentiment. Yes, calling it AssPlay is offensive to the financial community, and we are callous, insensitive and stock trading supremacists. AssPlay provides an added benefit by reminding you that your Ass is always on the line. No, this is not gambling, and we don't view capital as money we can afford to lose — ever!
We don't provide investment advice of any kind, plus all that legal jazz required by the SEC & FINRA as if it has any meaning in the real world. Just ask your politician and all the traders with inside information that operate on daily basis! But we may give hints and opinions, and we are certain that everyone will conduct due diligence.
Never bet on a crash or a rally, especially as predicted by a myriad of "experts" that make a living selling foolproof advice to the "one-born-every-minute" crowd. Crystal balls are hardly crystal-clear otherwise clairvoyants wouldn't have to sell their services. In addition, and as it relates to markets and plenty of other topics as we've learned recently, those that know the Pelosi-type insider stuff don't talk or they talk their book, and the PRYCs — Pretentiously-Rhetorical-Yet-Clueless — never shut the fuck up!
Successful trading requires the stoic discipline and focus of an assassin to achieve a clear and well-designed goal while shunning fear and the temptation of greed and the limelight.
Politically Incorrect And Addicted To Truth
Obviously, we view political correctness, wokeness and cancel culture as social diseases designed to mask human ineptitude. Accepting the reality of people's limitations, as proven by unbiased and irrefutable socio-techno-economic data highlighting a lack of achievement, leads to the wise allocation of resources and destroys utterly nonsensical expectations and wastefulness. Fantasizing about results that will never materialize while blaming somebody else for people's shortcomings, decade in and decade out, is never the way to govern society and incurs astronomical costs that we have yet to pay.
Lastly, slugs will never become snails, even if they identify as such and wear a synthetic shell, but it takes an IQ of 3.14 to understand simple logic. Pugs would love to be police dogs, but they're not qualified for obvious reasons, although they comply with half of the requirements: they're dogs.
Truth is spoken here, and nothing but the truth, regardless of whose toes we step on, and we couldn't care less about anyone's feelings. We're only anti-stupidity and stay the hell away from biological morons. Always be crudely truthful—but polite. Cheers!
