LOL :)

Ok. I get the doom analogy and could play with it but there may be a better away. I also get the just reacting as part of how one plays the game (similar to tennis, one ball at a time) but I'm trying to get at the implied prediction despite our psychological devices. Simple question. If...

Bearbelly, Even then, like any system that you also follow in the same "let the market give me what it will today" attitude is still based on a prediction. The prediction is based on the testing of Jack's system and it is "if I follow this system today, tomorrow and next week then I will...

A very simple explanation is like cashmoneys. Its simply a combination of things that results in a positive expectancy of making money. It could be a pattern you recognize with an entry you've tested and either a target for the pattern or a trailing stop to exit with a profit or loss.

Its actually not bad for ticks. The maximum tick rate is 5 per second so its not often a market is much faster than that and given that the value of tick charts is to spread out the action when alot of action is happening it still works well. Typically a 70% of esignal approach gives a similar...

IB doesn't lose the connection. Its extremely rare for IB not to be on line and available. Its very common for customers to lose internet connectivity.

The approach I take to garbage collection is simply to restore a minimized TWS and then minimize it again a few hundred milliseconds later. If its already restored then just minimizing it will do it. After doing that you can observe the drop in memory usage. When I only had 384k of ram I...

lol

Because, like Jack, I enjoy stirring it up a little. And I've seen this stupid "we don't predict" argument enough times before to know that its a religion. :) KP, you're just talking about using a mental device to detach your ego from the fact of the prediction (you predict that if u do ur...

Just accept it guys - "Predicting is ***Unavoidable***" LOL :D

"Its still predicting. Any time you put on a trade, for whatever reason, you are PREDICTING that by doing this you will make a future profit (or you are simply a moron and are randomly gambling)" More correctly predicting that by repeatedly doing this you will make a future profit. But your...

Many prices are not financial. It will be interesting to see how you and PointOne feel about all this in a couple of years if you are still trading (real money). Feel free to remind me in 2009.

1. You dont want the latest java (1.6) ... tws is tested for 1.5.xx I am running both versions so that zlt has 1.6 but have pointed the tws load at the 1.5.11 javaw.exe not the 1.6 version because issues have been reported here that went away when people went back to the supported version...

But that is a statistical prediction. He has faith that if he repeats the process "assess is if the vectors, now, show continuation or change" and trades that assessment repeatedly then over time it will reward him with profit. He is predicting that repetition of his system will generate...

Yes, its a little like any religious argument. Those who have a non-statistical definition of prediction (or are worried about the psychological consequence of being married to a position) say "no prediction." Those with a statistical view point say "we all predict." To trade a system...

LOL .... ooopss ... such a good day I lost the ability to do simple percentage calculations. Final drop was 919 points which was 4.73%. Still the biggest day I've ever experienced.

HSI peaked at 840 points down from fridays close .... 9% fall off ... fantastic

It's a day traders paradise. HSI rules :)

One of the guys on another board who's a tradestation fan installed vista on one of his machines a couple of weekends back. He is now 100% XP again. I think he kept office 2007 (reinstalled on XP) for the larger spreadsheet capability.
