This one is not quite a trading story, but just as intersting. In the 1930s an Engilishmen on holiday payed a trip to Monte Carlo casino. He was playing roulette. While sitting at the table he got into an arguement with guy who knocked his drink. After a verbal exchange they stepped outside...

Darkhorse, if you want to build the muscles in your brain. Supercharge the neurons so to speak, then also have a look at a book called "Smart Drugs and Nutrients." Exercise for the brain is one thing, but diet is another. There are chemicals around that can actually improve communication...

neither, both, grasshopper

In the book 'history of philosophy', there is a overview of each great philosopher's theory on the question of 'what is thought.' One thing many of the theories have in common is the belief that the thinker cannot accurately or objectively determine what they are thinking. The great...

Hi Darkhourse, I read about some theories similar to this in a fairly recent edition of New Scientist. About two months ago. The article was on the nature of thought from a quantum perspective and eluded to the fact that everything we think we know about consciousness may be wrong. Based...

Maybe neither. Maybe just a sideways move for 3 years Runningbear

Nitro, Of course it's possible, particularly at your age. Tiger Woods started playing Golf at three, and look at him now, he's making more than a million a week. Remember, a three year olds brain absorbs about ten times more information than an adults. You could become the worlds first...

Im interested to hear if there is anyone out there currently spread trading a portfolio of stocks, with 50% of the portfolio value long, and 50% short. I figure if you buy a basket of the best stocks showing relative strenth to an index, and you sell the worst stocks showing relative...

The closer rates move to 0%, the higher the risk for the lender. You make virtually nothing on the loan in the fist place, and you have no provision for bad debt. It's not like the borrowers that actually meet their repayments can carry the cost of failed loans at these rates. It's no wonder...

Brokers are called brokers because they make you broker. I hope your broker doesn't tell you to jump off a cliff, otherwise your life might be in as much danger as your money is. Runningbear

Chuck, Does Esignal plan to add more intraday data for backtesting? And if so, when can we expect to see more data added? Runningbear

The really hard thing about identifying what doesn't work is the fact that was doesn't work, actually works well less than 50% of the time. Everything works well at some time. Just not all the time. Runningbear

By Thom Calandra, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 10:36 AM ET July 26, 2002 SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Paul F. Desmond, the market researcher who tracked bear market bottoms and bull market tops back to 1933, sees no indication this week's rally takes investors to the fruitful land...

This is my post from 38 days ago. Back when the S&P 500 was above 1000. I was looking for support at 775 but given the speed of the recent sell off and the total lack of any buying support, Im thinking that the mid 600s could be closer to a bottom now. I'm sticking to my time line for a bottom...

It looks like Tradestation are feeling the heat from Wealth Lab. It's a shame they have only allowed registered tradestation subscribers to post on the message boards though. It means all those skilled easylanguage coders who still use 2000i will be unable to post code or give others advice...

No we don't Lundy, it's only got 64 days left till the bottom. Everyone know that. Runningbear

dotslashfuture, I'm familiar with most of those systems. They are not worth the CDs they are burned on. Most achieve results similar to coin flipping your entries. They take a high number of losses with the odd very large win. All have huge drawdowns and use optimised historial...

Exactly, I have two criteria that determine a long upward trending market. When one of them is violated, I exit. if I get a reconfirmation of the long trend I re-enter long in 'none trending' mode. If the second long criteria is broken when I'm long in 'non trending' mode I use the stop reverse...
