What are extenstions and reversal patterns? I understand your talking stocks.

Graeme, I call all of them “harmonic” numbers. But I should just call them all “Money” numbers. ‘Cause when patterns end at them … it is “money” baby. LOL! BTW, I heard your interview with Paul Figgiani (another ex-wall street guy and cyberfriend of mine).
———————-Chris,
All this graphics stuff is new to me and I’ve enjoyed the learning curve thusfar. I’ve found I really enjoy creating things from scratch (Idea to end result). My “day job” is as an investor/trader. I ran a daily stock picking service from Dec 2000 to May 2003 before I got burnt out of the day to day updates. Even though I outperformed the S&P by several thousand basis points, I couldn’t keep running the site alone from day to day. It was a burnden. Then my subscribers asked how I did what I did so I created a CD-Rom teaching the core of my strategy.
It was while I had to learn how to create that teaching CD-Rom that I got into this geek graphics stuff with Macromedia / Apple / Adobe, etc…
My site is: https://www.longorshort.com
There is a free PDF there that explains breifly some of the characteristics of some of the patterns I trade. FYI, the product there (CD and Manual) is for traders, not casual investors.

I ask because I am a casual investor who has been following Jim Cramer for about two years, I hear you skoff, (perhaps) he has made me money, and thats what its about.

I never read Cramer’s book but I’m pretty sure he did well as a hedge fund manager. Cramer seems like he is just over the top and wished he was some famous rock star. The reality is if he didn’t feel the need to create so much drama and “act out” (like some poor kid that didn’t get enough attention) he’d be really popular because of his out of the box thinking.
But he offends many with his style. Me… I just laugh when he comes on and I turn off the TV. I’d watch him if he wasn’t crying out for attention so badly. That weak ego stuff is just too tough to watch.

[Barry Green] “video cameras don’t have linear exposure curves”
AFAIK ccd’s have very linear exposure ie. straight exposure curve, unlike film, which really has usually a quite curvy curve.
After ccd video’s curve gets curved by adding all sorts of gamma correction, knees and shoulders in the dsp. -
It would be wonderful if you could invent a CCD that has a built in non-linearity as that would allow much better exposure control, but I doubt that will happen any time soon.
