Such high volume that I've come down with tinnitus. >>I don't really have any thoughts unless my wife has them for me.<< Sweet ... Do you hear those thoughts Often and with High Volume ? I first looked at Parabolic Stops when first reading Wilder's Delta methods back in the 1980s, but computer platforms weren't as sophisticated then and it was a pain to plot the points. Again in the early or mid 90s but tried to use them the way Wilder intended. Which was as a Trading System and as that it just does not work well. Now I use them only for Stops in a parabolic Market. For that use I think it's very effective. Been doing that since Gold and Silver ran up some years ago. I think it usually is better than a tight MA stop or percentage stop. Also better than just about any other stop hands down. It's a question of tinkering with the Acceleration Factor until you can tweak it just right. Some Markets or Time Frames might require a different AF than others. I don't remember Gonzango. It seems now that 12, 13 years ago we all knew just about everyone but he slips my mind.
