Wow, conviction before the trial huh? Yeah I always knew liberals were full of shit when it came to civil liberties.

How do you become a successful trader without math?

And Robert, who do I have to kill to get that e-book off this thread? LOL. I've got some Chinese billionaires making me an offer and you posting it on here for free! :)

I'll put it on my to do list today. All good things to those who wait...:)

I third that. :)

Crispy, you're a class act. Great posts above. One of the few people on this board that is honest and sincere. The ES is a very efficient market and needs to be traded sparingly. Guys that brag about going in there everyday and pulling money are completely full of shit. It's just simple...

Cotton is flat for me number line wise and failed at the QTR A up several times. I'm watching it but the grains are faaaar more interesting right now.

I think all these changes are great and certainly will satisfy the naysayers but my original point still stands and I think is even more evident now. If one does not have a real edge, changing the superficial parameters won't produce a better outcome. I've said this before, you could take...

Surf, Altucher seems like a really interesting guy. I have no problems with his failures or his books or the fact that he has managed to get up every time he gets knocked down. But his idea (and it's shared my many on ET) that the markets are dead or will be dead or vol is going to zero just...

Surf, in the capital markets, you can't isolate one variable from the others. Stocks are priced off of their future discounted cash flows. Indices are priced off the future discounted yield. That yield has a relationship to market rates of interest. If all the pieces in the capital market...

Surf, you are too narrowly focused on equities which make up like 2% of the capital market structure. We have seen huge moves in oil, gas, the grains, cotton, currencies, bonds, hell everything. Futhermore, there are stock markets around the world that move 3% to 5% a day!!!!!! And some of...

Surf, you keep using the word prediction. I know ETers and retail traders like to think about markets in terms of predictions, but think about trading more in terms of providing a service. As a speculator you are serving a valuable economic function and you are being paid a fee for that...

Surf, it has nothing to do with predicting. There is a cost involved in hedging. There is a cost involved in transporting commodities, storing commodities, refining them. There is a cost to money. There is a cost to holding a certain currency. There is an opportunity cost in holding risk...

Surf, an asset by definition can be monetized and transformed. There is an economic purpose for that asset. These assets can spin off cash. They can be borrowed against, they can be delivered, etc. If they all stopped moving it would imply one, there is zero risk to holding an asset which...

Kyle Bass thinks it's going to 175+. Remember where this thing came down from, it use to trade over 250. This move hasn't even started yet. Short term, yeah it's a little stretched.

Markets can't go flat for obvious reasons based on economics and math.

No, here is the issue. It's a lot like marriage and dating. Often, the wrong people are attracted to each other. The nice guy wants the hot girl and the hot girl wants the jerk. So the hot girl and the jerk end up together, the marriage fails and we conclude marriage doesn't work. It can...

I have to agree with Baron. He does touch on some good points that people will always try to game the system. But they come and go. James makes the mistake a lot of people on ET make and that is they are looking for an answer. In order to do this for a living you have to come to terms...

No, the sad truth is very few people have any real edge. Just having access to a DOM and moving averages is not going to make you rich. I know no one wants to hear that. But the data absolutely backs that up. It has not nothing to do with TST. We've discussed this ad nausem on here. I use...

Ugh, yeah, like, there is a guy that has posted on this thread and many others who has been funded for over a year. I know this is ET guys, but we need to raise the bar here to at least "literate". I love ET! :)
