He said only one percent of the markets value was margin debt and that changing margin requirements wouldn't have had any real impact on the bubble. And, that only the small investor that didn't have the large institution's access to other debt streams would have been truly affected if they had...

I would say the edge, if you want to call it that, is just that it forces a set discipline. I would be surprised if the fib based entry times proved to be more than that. Although it could possibly be interesting to see if over the long haul, a certain time period of entry generated the most...

From another post in another thread, I believe he just started with Lynx Capital, having moved from WorldCo. Look at the Lynx Capital Partners thread in the Pro forum.

Of course, you need to invert just the noise and not the signal you wish to keep. Hence the need to take a picture of pure noise. Again, probably not possible in talking about the stock market, but what the heck. For example, if you wanted to get rid of tape his in a song, you would record...

In the audio world, one sometimes inverts the phase of the noise and adds it back to the original signal. Don't know if you could do this. Just something to think about (for me anyway).

The perfect moving average would not require any parameters to be manually entered (such as the usual "period").

It sounds to me like you are talking about Bollinger Bands. No? They are a moving average with bands that expand during increased volatility and collapse as volatility diminishes. Or are you thinking of something else?

I wouldn't say complicated automatically equals worse. I prefer simple in general, but some things in life are complicated. Aren't they? Of course, I don't think there is any form of moving average that will provide magic when compared to another. They are guides, not rules. Just my two cents.

Does the offer from Lynx Capital include a monthly desk charge?

AFAIK, RealTick isn't a broker/dealer. So, although they could probably contract it this way, I doubt RealTick gets any money from commissions. I would imagine they sell software licenses (and/or data feed fees) and thus would make money strictly based on how many people are using RealTick...

I've thought about the same thing from time to time. I've also thought privately setting up a trading room could be fun. Theoretically you could allow retail customers from just about any brokerage firm. For a small fee they could use the computers and T1 line, etc. Then again, maybe those...

OPTIONAL777. I'm not one for censorship, but you are often just mean with some of your posts. I think a professional forum should maintain some level of respect for its peers. Disagree with folks if you want, but the High School name calling attitude you seem to have for some of the people on...

I can't really read without finding the words. I can't find the words without my eyes looking at the screen. With my eyes open and looking at the screen, it's hard not to see the pictures. Anyway, I don't mind all pictures. What I object to are the ones you post making fun of other people.

Well, I use broadband, but I never thought your pictures were relevant to this group. So I would be happy not to be forced to look at them.

Although maybe that would seem to disuade the whole idea of a chat site?

Here is my suggestion, a bit late to the party. "Shut up and trade!"

Well, I can do it in 3 tries 50% of the time, and 4 tries the other 50%. If I think a bit harder, then maybe I can get that 4 down to 3. But here is where I am at right now. First, divide the 12 pennies into three groups of four pennies each. Pick two of the goups and put them on the scale...

Some of you guys are just plain mean. Being all you can be I suppose.

My recollection of the rules is that it works like there was never a close in the market. Thus no one can be filled on a short of the opening if the price is lower than the close. You could still sell stock on the opening if you happened to be long. The opening price must be equal to or...

Sorry. I got a bit carried away also. I can't help but be passionate about these things. :D
