    Who's trading foreign markets? Who's winning?

    If you want liquidity in options you need to look at kospi instead. Close to same time zone as Nikkei.

    WinXP auto-off

    I have a winxp setup that automatically logs off after about 10secs. It came from an institutional environment and the user doesnt have screensaver control. I got the Admin password and changed the screensaver to 20mins but the darned thing still goes to Alt-ctrl-del to enter mode after...

    Any traders in Perth?

    Perth is nice but its hard to beat the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Downside: more humid in summer. Not as good a time zone for trading european markets and EUR(/USD) in european morning. Upside: nearer everything else :) great boating environment, beautiful warm winters...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    On NLP Itself --- heres an interesting review http://www.psychcentral.com/psypsych/Neuro-linguistic_programming This article on TFT (a technology I have found useful in overcoming fear of heights but have since found another explanation for why the tapping strategy might have worked) could...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    Ignoring the issue of NLP (and modeling and so on and so forth) the PPC is not bad. Even if some of it is "dodgy" I think its dodgy in a "doesnt do anything good" way rather than a does harm way. Its not a bad framework to start examining your approach from and most of what he offers (like the...

    Multiple Strategies

    No. Although I suspect you knew that. Obvious example. Both are longish term systems. Choppy market. Spike takes A long ... a day or so later spike down chops A out and takes B short. Then a few days later ... etc until the chop clears. So you get A and B both contributing to the...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    You misunderstand scientific "proof." The same methods used to test the efficacy of medicines and elements of applied psychology can be used to test NLP. Lying is too strong. Just because I think scientology is rubbish doesn't mean that you can't apply elements of it and see a positive...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    LOL. I couldn't resist the scientology/science astrology/astronomy comparisons. I think the big thing is that the folk "isms" have appeal but lack the thing that real science has, "tested truth (currently)" - the idea that everything can be challenged and should be repeatedly challenged with...

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    Sadly, he might be but he's probably right as well. NLP is to Psychology as Scientology is to Science and Astrology to Astronomy. Putting it kindly, it has more appeal but less validity. Try Steenbarger for real trading psychology.

    Van Tharp Paradox....

    Nothing wrong with what anyone on this thread has said really. The good thing about the markets are that there are lots of different ways to win or lose money. If u take your "with the volatility" strategy the key is to have enough expected win for the average loss - and a high enough win...

    If IB's Website Contains Falsehoods, Customers are SOL

    LOL. That idiot LJ kept referring to morality until he got so mad that his real nature was revealed to all (he held the true low ground). Clearly given your confusion about what morals are ... you are in the category I class as "idiots." Feel free to assume that I will continue to taunt you...

    If IB's Website Contains Falsehoods, Customers are SOL

    No compensation. I just enjoy arguing with idiots like LJ when they put up wrong/false/stupid arguments. I've never worked for any broker and now that I've learnt to trade (took a few years) I never plan to work for anyone else again. If I was IB I wouldn't actually appreciate most of my...

    If IB's Website Contains Falsehoods, Customers are SOL

    Optiontrader, In every thread that comes up where someone has a moan about IB you add your bleating to it. Bleat. Bleat. Bleat. By now everyone knows you are pissed with IB because they said you were wrong. And everyone knows I like IB because they're a good fast cheap brokerage who suit...

    If IB's Website Contains Falsehoods, Customers are SOL

    I like that perspective. Having traded the pits with full service brokers for some years I can attest that the "if it goes wrong, you're pretty much screwed" is an excellent way to view the pits. The screwing gets worse the less liquid the contract you trade. LC has burnt me a few times...

    IB execute stop way above market price

    PM Def and ask him to look at it for you ... hes very good at getting clarity. On the question: can prices occur that are not on my chart? The answer is yes, rarely but it does happen sometimes - ask IB to get you a time and sales for the period and you see every tick that happened. I...

    Mad Cow and Avian Flu

    LOL. You havent looked at the way this flu kills ... makes SARS look like cinderella. The way we used to deal with highly infectious diseases for which we had no cure was ... isolation. I'm optimistic that either it won't cross or it will cross as a weakened strain. I'm not optimistic that...
