Looks like the latest post on writing a simple automated trading system garnered a ton of interest. This is partially because I am now linked at The Whole Street as a Quant blog. Furthermore, the post was up Xmas Eve for a very long time by itself.
In any case, I got far more hits than I did through my post on the WSJ/FT paywall. I wouldn't want to post anything giving too much of an edge to anyone, but I can come up with some more interesting articles that should bring in more hits. I will continue updating Godel's Market.

Mindfulness and Concentration
Do yourself a favor and read this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/16/opinion/sunday/the-power-of-concentration.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0). Mindfulness will do more for your trading than you might expect. It has definitely helped me over the past few years.

About Godel's Market
I don't know what to do with it. I don't want to give away ideas that work and I don't want to give away code that works. I know other sites do it and I assume they are at least moderately successful or find some other reason to continue doing so. But, until I'm a millionaire, I don't see the point.
I've been looking at page hits to the site and find that most of the page hits are from people looking for ways to bypass WSJ and FT paywalls. So, most of my hits are coming from people who are not even interested in quantitative trading whatsoever. I'm working on other ways to utilize this stream of hits. Perhaps, something hackerish/coding that isn't really a strategy. I don't know how other people gain their hits. In the end, I may just focus on trading and ignore the site, and ignore hits. Seems difficult to achieve large popularity with substantive quantitative articles. It just takes more effort for individuals to read through them...

Expand
I've spread the strategy across a much wider set of stocks in order to increase the amount of time in the market and decrease variance. I'm still setting up absolute signals, but things look promising. Now, I need to build it up to the point where others (besides friends and family) will feel comfortable investing. I need to build up enough energy to present the information/strategy and pull together a nice execution record.
Been really tired lately. Working hard to get motivated.
