On the other hand, they're not white, so I doubt conservatives will care. If they do, where's the outrage over Boko Haram?

Not quite. The two-loss "rule" applies to a loss on each side after a trend appears to be winding down, a signal that one is entering chop. However, if one has certain rules about entry triggers and MAEs, he may find that in certain hesitant environments, the MAEs extend themselves and he is...

I haven't quit. I have a trade off the ONH. But, yes, it's been extraordinarily boring. OTOH, this is the third day, so tomorrow may provide something better.

From Torture to Drone Assassination, How Washington Gave Itself a Global Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card By Alfred W. McCoy "The sovereign is he who decides on the exception,” said conservative thinker Carl Schmitt in 1922, meaning that a nation’s leader can defy the law to serve the greater good...

By all means, seek out marketsurfer's proven market success. Start with his journal.

Those who believe that the market is sentient will fail. Choose for yourselves.

No, we never know if treatment will be successful. But we do know that the probabilities of doing nothing favor death. Again, if the child is too immature to have a voice, it's up to us to go with the probabilities.

No, it is not.

The problem is that the child is being left out of all this. If he's mature enough to decide for himself, like that teen girl who wanted to opt out of chemo, that's one thing. But we're expected to care for children, not sacrifice them on the altar of our own beliefs.

The market's function is to facilitate trade. It is not sentient.

Doesn't make me feel anything. But then I have a Ph.D. in psychology. One learns to maintain objectivity.

There's no contradiction here as few simtraders trade sim emotionally. If they do, then imagining that one is on sim isn't going to help.

Exasperation? No. Just twenty years of working with beginning traders.

See 1789. Or 1917. Or, for that matter, 410.

Depends on the trader. If he's a daytrader, several minutes might be too long. If he's a scalper, several seconds might be too long. This is where characterizing one's market comes in. As to 40, he might want to go long once price penetrates what had been and may continue to be an important...

I knew you'd love it.

As this thread is in Psychology rather than Journals, I'm offering this post. It's cross-posted, but I don't want to drag anyone away to another thread (the "psychology" is primarily in the last three paragraphs, but doesn't make much sense without what precedes it). First, the context, from...

SALMON, Idaho (Reuters) - Members of a county Republican Party in Idaho are to take up a measure on Tuesday evening that would declare the state a Christian one to bolster what the proposal calls the "Judeo-Christian bedrock of the founding of the United States." The resolution to be voted on...

No. It's all Obama's fault.

If I may, the error comes in looking at this entry as being "close to the middle of the range". However, the range that it is in the middle of is a larger, more "cosmic" range from the previous day, and that's not particularly relevant for a trading opportunity that presents itself at the...
