    Tax Hike Mike

    Hee hee... Republicans came into power in 1992... they talked about family values and changed the income tax so that there were tens of millions of people that did not pay any... if the Democrats tried that they would have been strung up but nobody said a thing... and why would they? Democrats...

    Your career path that led to trading?

    My job and career went really sour when the fantastic company I was working for got bought by some real clowns... I was already interested in trading because it was 1999 and everybody was trading.... so I retired and put all my efforts into trading. A few years later they realized I was retired...

    Is this disputable??

    On the bright side there could be thousands of YM /ES points to be made on the way down without so much as breaking a sweat. How much will market liquidities and tradeable volatility dry up is a big question for a trader. Edit: this insanity is pretty interesting too...

    The stupid and irresponsible "home owners" bail out is happaning

    All this blame on the homeowners, what bullshit. I met a guy that writes sub prime loans. He's a coke head that has people scouring their neighborhoods for anybody that might qualify, then he fixes up the documents so they will pass muster and he gets $8000 -$9000... one gal is in foreclosure...

    3rd party software, Ninja Trader / Multi charts/SmartQuant

    I think that somebody downloading strategies would get bored and frustrated after awhile, so many lose $ over time, but if they could get every subscriber's account balances every day they could narrow the search to just the ones that win over time... my assumption is that a rogue programmer...

    ninja trader good or bad

    The test and debugging environments are good. You can record data and replay it and use it to debug code going forward. You can dial in the start time for the code and let it run through the bars you want to debug code on... The only odd thing I discovered is that if you write an indicator...

    ninja trader good or bad

    I'm on the learning curve with Ninja at this point. Not many bugs at all really and none are complete showstoppers. The docs are good, the help on the forums is good because the NT guys answer everything, they don't let jokers come in and screw things up for people.... backtests take almost no...

    Do most traders even have an edge?

    I don't think most traders on ET have an edge... they think they do but it's based on random stuff that works for awhile and is fraught with all the thinking errors pointed out in another recent thread in this same forum. VanTharp, a trader's coach, said as much, at least about the people that...

    CLYDE returns!

    Furry friends are wonderful. I have Charlie and Blondie, Charlie is old and limps around but he's still game if a cat shows up. Blondie and I developed a fighting game starting when she was a puppy, now she's a year and a half and will play for hours at a time... if I win too much she will up...

    Pitbulls kill their owner!!

    I lived in a small desert town. Somebody got upset about all the dogs running loose, there were lots of dog owners that let their dogs out at night... or all day... Every morning there were a dozen dead dogs strewn about on the main road leading out of town. It went on for weeks. I never knew...

    Does consumer confidence number mean much?

    I don't think this means much, the press has been portraying the economy as dismal for years now, so there was increased spending the day after Thanksgiving and now the consumer confidence numbers are below expectations... A couple of years back a large part of the public thought the US was in a...
