    Does science make belief in God obsolete?

    Genetics proved evolution? Humans supposedly came from chimpanzees but chimps have 2 MORE chromosomes than humans? And the genome projects have shown that humans share more DNA with dogs than chimps? We did not come from dogs buddy..... or chimps... The story about humans starting in Africa...

    Ninja Trader and Multiple Monitors

    I have the same annoyance and my monitors are set up as a continuous desktop I guess, I can stretch a screen across both of them. Another annoyance is the inability to left click the Ninja icon in the task bar and left click a chart icon, sometimes it brings up the chart, sometimes not.... Alt +...

    Hate Bush and the economy is horrible

    Does the left have any other arguments? The economy has been stellar by all measures for a long time in spite of 9-11, in spite of the housing crisis, in spite of the recession that was the legacy of the Clintons, but consumer confidence is falling. The weak dollar has pumped up the exporting...

    Fannie Mae eases down payment rules

    This is the first time in my recollection that first time buyers got a break on loan terms before we went through a recession. This could help the real estate market bigtime. Move up buyers need first timers to take over their existing homes a lot of the time and in this rather poor and rural...

    The most generous people in the world

    Z is pretty representative of the cultish left, I think he revealed that he's a scientologist.. maybe he's not a liberal really, just a smart mouthed knowitall at about the 4 year old intellectual development level, they really exist, I've had to work with some people that were stuck at the 3 or...

    Does science make belief in God obsolete?

    What I have found is that there is science and there is "science" and there is Big Science nowadays that is as ruthless as Big Tobacco or Pharma really..... I love watching the videos from drdino.com... he was a high school science teacher in a Christian school and he goes and actually checks...

    Deciding on a Backtesting and Trading Platform

    I've been playing with the various, not all by any means however, softwares for about 7-8 years so I though I would chime in here just for general info provision. Openquant: if you are not a good C# programmer, forget it. They do not provide examples of code except on the forums, sometimes...

    Cans and should Obama replace Bernake

    Something just hit me today.... democracies always die by handing over all power to a dictator. Obama would be the guy that could talk the populace into that!! Democrats would not say a thing because he's their guy and he's a good enough speaker to talk Republicans into it!!

    Tails You Lose, Heads I Win

    I use a simulator that will overlay 100 equity curves. I love to input 50% wins and 1:1 win/loss size and watch it come up with a few stellar accounts and a whole lot of mediocre-to-blown-out accounts...... I run that everytime I listen to an expert :D

    guilt of all market participants from 401k investor to daytrader

    Philosophers have had to admit that after centuries of discussion they are unable to tell a person how to be happy. I've had philosophy classes, the instructors were typically unhappy or crazy, if not overbearing bastards..... I salvaged what I could get from it all, the ability to reason, to...

    guilt of all market participants from 401k investor to daytrader

    I always apologize for being born before placing every trade. It can slow things down and cost me money in a fast market but that is the price of understanding just how incredibly guilty I really am............

    Backtesting software that can handle tick data

    Openquant is not real speedy as a backtester, I like it a lot but I read that others are faster. It does have the simulated annealing that allows a system with a large number of parameters to be tested a lot faster than brute force. Multicharts will do ticks and mix ticks with other bars on a...

    Award winning economist says America has bankrupted itself with the Iraq war

    Like Villarigosa, the legislature, the Mexicans, Blacks, etc. are going to leave the Democrat reservation...... Santa Barbara, yessssss!! Life is worth living and who cares about the rest of the state, Big Sur, for sure, and lots of other places, you just have to go where being libertarian is...

    Confusion about Tick Data used in ATS

    They all do pretty much. In Openquant they divide it between trades and quotes, a trade is last + size and quotes are bid/ask/size, different software might use different terminology but essentially "data" is trades and quotes......

    Award winning economist says America has bankrupted itself with the Iraq war

    I find it hard to blame the little guy. He is blindsided by a shitty educational system designed to dumb him down and train him in socialism and the food supply has less and less nutrition every decade starting after WW2. He can pull himself up by the bootstraps by studying things on his own but...

    Who in their right mind would vote for Osama?

    I thought they actually found WMD's in Syria, right where people were saying they would be...... which points to the real problem with the political discourse: ignorance has a much longer lifespan in the public's memory than facts......... which points up the fact that people, are, in fact, not...

    Soros: U.S. stocks are in a bear-market rally

    The last Soros prediction I saw was for a recession in the last two quarters of 2007....... and all during the Soviet reign in Russia the prediction was for the collapse of the capitalist world too........
