That really was a long outage. Glad I was flat. Was their "Web Trader", their internet (non DMA) platform down too? If I had to get out and they weren't answering their phones that's what I'd check first.

Again you're setting up a straw man. Judith Curry does not "deny man made global warming". The argument is not over whether or not man's activity warms the planet. The argument is about how much.

This is alarmist BS. If you actually read the reports of the scientists who keep track of these things, what's going on is that ice is building up in the Antarctic, and decreasing in the Arctic. The total ice is staying relatively constant. The National Snow & Ice Data Center (NSIDC) keeps...

And we should hand out stock options to the accountants who work at the company so they'll have a motivation to goose the numbers. Oh yeah, the government is already doing that with its funding of global warming lunacy.

Is this another example of you rejecting science in favor of stock trend analysis, LOL? Try to bring a citation to a science discussion next time. Here's a recent, peer reviewed article that completely contradicts your naive unsubstantiated claim: Determining the Natural Length of the Current...

About 20,000 years ago the earth was in an ice age. During the ice age sea temperatures were lower than they are now. In the thousands of years since then, sea temperatures have risen as I stated above. You're right that over the last 1000 years sea temperatures have indeed been decreasing but...

The oceans have been gaining heat for thousands of years and will continue to do so until the next ice age starts. The process is not at all alarming. In fact, as I showed, it's stunningly slow. Whoa, this is quite a divergence from the usual cant that the climate is controlled by CO2! More...

The reason you're worried about this is that you haven't crunched the numbers. Sure the chart looks worrisome. Here's the wikipedia version (if you want the peer reviewed sources for this, click around and you'll easily get them.) So the change in heat is about 2x10^23 Joules over a period of...

First, I'm not suggesting that the many articles on the pause are correct. I'm quoting these papers to show that the consensus climate science is that the pause did happen (and therefore needs explaining). This is in contradiction to future's claim that there was no pause. Second, my point is...

You're arguing that you know more about the climate than the climate scientists who have published hundreds of papers about the pause. I think that this is a hilarious retreat from your previous opinion that climate science is settled and that we should listen to the climate scientists and...

It's clear that you don't read the science literature. You get your information from websites that cater to your beliefs. Here are some peer reviewed articles about the pause that you deny exists, LOL. I pulled these off of the Nature website which is probably the most authoritative journal in...

Hey, if temperatures had continued rising at the high rate predicted back in the 1990s, support would still be strong. Instead we have the pause. And I guess the release of all those secret emails didn't help. When it's actually put to a vote, there's close to 100% agreement that temperatures...

Of course this is trading. There are some difficulties in taking it full time. Probably the biggest one is "over trading" in its various guises. For example, when you were an "amateur" you only took trades that were really attractive. When you become "professional" it's easy to feel a sort of...

So if you came upon a method of trading which doubled your money 95% of the time and lost all of it 5% of the time, you'd reject using it because the possibility of total loss would exceed your stop loss. (LOL) Hey, the beauty of trading is that there are thousands of different ways of making...

Let me suggest another way of putting the original stop loss statement: "When you take into account the fact that I'm trading only about 1/4 of my available trading equity, my 12.5% is actually closer to 3%." (or lower, likely)

"Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country." More racist crap from republicans who want to deprive the masses of their government benefits.

Not controversial at all. Fundamentals don't matter when you're trading over a couple of hours because whatever fundamentals you buy (sell) at the start will be the same fundamentals that you sell (buy) at the end.

Ignoring the collapsing scientific support, looking at it just from a political point of view, it's a lot easier to motivate the American people to fight ISIS than to fight climate change. Global warming is so 1990s.

Recently there have been floods in Texas. The surprise for me is that the hourly CBS news on the local radio station isn't talking about how they're caused by global warming. Same with the drought in California. I think the bloom is off the global warming rose.

Fascinating discussion. I can only add that an advantage for some traders is that the topstep rules might be very useful for enforcing "self" discipline.
