Gold has been outperforming Platinum for many months. What's the trigger for shorting this spread right now? https://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?$gold,$plat

That's a great explanation of your rationale for the fly. Thanks!

If you wanted to hedge the curvature risk on this spread, how would you do it? Options or another futures spread?

What a great business opportunity ... if there were some simple in-home test you could perform with your saliva or urine that could give you an objective measure of your recovery status. There might be some useful information in a before/after MRI or muscle biopsy, but that's not practical.

You're posts have got me thinking about reducing my 3 set exercises down to only 2 sets, with the first set being a strong warm-up. Anything I can do to reduce the total workout time is a great benefit to my schedule. I'm probably not the right person to answer your question about exceeding...

Reading these studies where they compare muscle mass between two groups, I wonder if the participants are really working to overload. There is a distinction between working to failure vs overload, and often these terms are mistakenly used interchangeably. Working to failure means you cannot...

Correct. All your custom code is stored locally on your PC, not their servers, so they have no visibility into your secret sauce. Note that some other charting services may offer backup to their servers as a convenience, and that would enable them to see your code. But that's assuming they...

I have posted regression questions on TalkStats - http://www.talkstats.com/

I agree that gains aren't lost as fast as that chart suggests. The point of the chart is that you need to allow enough rest time to realize the benefits you're seeking. My understanding of the recovery and growth process is that most of it happens while you are sleeping, when natural growth...

Only 48 hours, or two sleep cycles, isn't much time. You and I are in the same age group and I wait 4 days, figuring 2 days for recovery, another day for growth, and one more because I'm in the older age group and want to give enough time for everything to settle down, including my CNS and...

For muscle growth (hypertrophy), you must allow sufficient rest (sleep cycles) between workouts. I'm talking about working to overload, not just an aerobic workout. Typically, you hear a range of 2 to 5 days rest time between working out the same muscle group. Generally, you need less time if...

Gold is largely the inverse of the US Dollar Index, so gold traders are de-facto currency traders. FX analysis is more likely to be useful for trade signals than COT sentiment on gold futures.

That's a very interesting aside note. I have found that lifting to overload is not so much a matter of psychology but my ability to release the weight safely following exhaustion. This means I cannot really work to overload with free weights, since I don't have a safe way to release the...

Hmm, you're using four 24" monitors. I wonder if there is some rule-of-thumb for how much video memory on the graphics card is required for each monitor. Will it use system RAM if the video card memory is saturated?

I've found that I can lift more weight when my mind is distracted by thinking about something besides the workout. The conventional wisdom is to focus on good form while lifting, but that makes you sensitive to every pain and ache during the lift. I do better when I'm spaced out thinking about...

Every time I thought I found a calendar position with edge, all the profit was offset during execution by a very wide bid/ask spread.

My left knee makes a little snap noise when I do air squats. Apparently, this is not uncommon as I've found multiple posts about it in other forums. They say it's no concern if not accompanied by pain. I don't have any pain or soreness, but it's still a bit unsettling. Anyone else?

No edge.

Ah, OJ ... the secret sauce of the smart money.

What is the physical equivalent you trade? Gold?
