    I'm absolutely NOT rooting against him, just rooting against the bravado that comes from a few good trades. Also rooting against being told what DOESN'T work in the mkts when I know what works for me.

    I doubt it, the only time I can recall this happening, when I got a signal, was May 6, 2010

    Why the S&P 500 will be much higher in 5 years?

    Why the S&P 500 will be much higher in 5 years?

    Thanks Oldtime, I'll take a look. You should check this PBS special, The Commanding Heights. Episode one is "The Battle of Ideas" and it's all about Hayek vs Keynes. It's really good IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiy61vxeZs

    Why the S&P 500 will be much higher in 5 years?

    I'm pretty sure you got it wrong. His reply "In the long run we will all be dead" was in response to Hayek's notion that markets eventually work themselves out and there is no need to intervene to take action to stimulate demand, regardless of how long that takes. Keynes response meant that...

    You'll have to remind me again what this success is you speak of? Thanks for the twitter offer but I don't see the value in it. But I do appreciate the offer. Hey, stumbled into a little steakhouse tonight that I'd never heard of called "Prime and Beyond" (10th btw 3rd and 4th). Very good...

    No, I'm just saying that an indispensable member of a 3 person team is NOT an intern. If anything he is a consultant. I understand you might be the kind of person who needs to put yourself above others so labeling someone an intern makes you feel more important somehow but this Peter guy...

    Yes...WORK at start-ups....not INTERN at startups when you are an expert in something others are not. An intern is not a vital cog in the machine, but sounds like your guy is and should be treated as such. If he's "indispensable" as you say...

    Why would an "expert" in data and programming work as an intern for a completely unestablished firm? This makes zero sense.

    An intern? For what exactly?

    True, if the traders goal is to gain a following of some sort. If that's not the traders intention, then not sure why anyone would do this. Not to mention all the backlash from the people who will just claim "photoshop".

    No but my example illustrates that we all have different holding periods, some longer than others and so this either places the trader at an advantage for posting (ie lots of time in between entry and exit) or a disadvantage (trading at a much faster pace). HFT was used as an extreme example to...

    So, HFT must be a joke and not a real type of trading methodology because it can't produce real time calls post-able here. I havent seen any HFT'ers make live calls so that strat must not work. :p

    LOL, well I guess the client realized that purchasing a system with a tiny track record might not be in their best interest. Either that or they think it won't or can't work.

    Why is this journal still active? I thought this was a PRICE DRIVER journal and that PRICE DRIVERS were no longer allowed to be spoken of.
