Ok, so your posts are not making you happier or smarter, and if your posts are what you believe to be quality light entertainment; that is sad. Good luck anyway.

When did being successful become a crime? Tdog, why not question any technique or approach to the market that Williams has taught? This line of debate goes nowhere. Nobody is being persuaded or can learn anything. Anyone with any kind of visibility has a history that can be criticized...

Get the cassette edition where Schwartz is the narrator. (About $6 on Amazon) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0694519316/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= The narrator on CD version is a drone with no feeling and adds nothing to the story. Then used a cassette player to...

My iphone audiobooks: "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" by Lefever "PitBull" by Marty Schwartz Get the used cassette tape version which is narrated by Schwartz. "When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management" "Liars Poker" by Michael Lewis narrated by Lewis...

Given the same internet connection, only trading 4 instruments, how much better is ZenFire over InteractiveBrokers? Is the difference between ZenFire and IB noticable if trading only a few markets? Or, is the difference only hype?

Who is the vendor of the underlying zen-fire technology? Any other vendors of this trading technology other than Zen-fire? Thank you

No, sometimes he trades right before an earnings report (CROX) and right before an FOMC announcement. Looking for a pattern in his trading is a waste of time....

If I needed credentials and wanted to trade I would consider the External Degree program at the University of London. No student loans necessary probably. It is a worldwide program that is based on reading lists and exams. It has been around since 1858. They offer undergraduate...

Also on the subject, this month's edition (August) of Futures magazine has an article entitled "Minimizing your risk of ruin" which is very interesting. It does not tell you what position size to trade tomorrow, but does describe how much 'risk of ruin' a trader is carrying based on past...

Good suggestion, the attached research paper describes using a fraction of Kelly to produce a 'never look back trading goal' to reach a point where your chances of giving everything back to the market is very small. It is one of the better papers I have seen on the subject. However, using...

I disagree, paper trading can be helpful to practice the mechanics of entering and exiting a trade but little more. I wrote about paper trading in an earlier post http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2533652#post2533652 If you want to train the emotions, trade with the...

http://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Stand-clamp-monitors-adjustable/dp/B001HHNCQY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1249015995&sr=8-5 Got a 2 monitor stand last month and love it. Will probably buy another one from the same company. They also have 3 and 4 monitor setups. Great price, seems heavy and strong....

Old Time mag article: It seems like having a kill increases the pilots chance of having another kill. Or, is the analogy between pilot and trader going too far? Good video by Gonzales on Survival: http://bigthink.com/laurencegonzales/laurence-gonzales-on-deep-survival

The best description of why it may take 10,000 to reach expert status is in "Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies and Why" by Laurence Gonzales. It takes time for the pilot or the trader to be so accustomed to his tasks to the extent that the amygdala is not activated. He 'stays' cool under...

The similarities are many, but I think most focus on decision making and 'economy of energy'..... A great graphic below showing a dogfight, looks like a high volatility day last year!!!! (Cunningham should have stayed a pilot however. Maybe a lesson there as well....) Now off to a...

Why not point to a single profitable month of your 'calls' surf. What was the best month of trading since you have been posting here? Out of 13,000 posts have you had a month that was profitable? If you made a profit you probably would remember it, correct? So, what year and what month? When...

Poster popping up over LA... Every dollar borrowed to pay for government waste makes it more expensive to borrow a dollar by corporations to fund operations, expansions, and create new jobs. Hope and change, yeah, hope and change... The biggest joke of the 21st Century....

Landis, thanks for the 'local-color' perspective. It must have been crazy trying to make money trading then. The only other video that I have seen that shows pit trading from that time is another public television production called 'Open Outcry'. Have you seen any other videos that focus on...

Got a dual LCD monitor stand for $49. Great deal considering most stands are around $200. Arrived today, very solid, works for me. http://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Stand-clamp-monitors-adjustable/dp/B001HHNCQY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1249015995&sr=8-5 Good luck!
