    Why I think Java will take the lead over C++

    To say Java's garbage collection will do away memory leaks - is a fairy tale. I have seen other people's Java GUI code with serious memory leaks due to losing track of some object references unknowingly kept within the Java framework. The programmer thought he does not have anything...

    Trading and having kids

    There is the sensitive period ends at around 6 years old which is important to brain development. During WWII, there were the Romanian children in the opranages left in their cribs deprived of much human interactions. They did not end up well at all as adults. I am sure you are kidding.

    Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, the abbot at Karma Triyana Dharmachakra monastery (Woodstock, NY). According to Buddhism, life as we ordinarily experienced is due to impure visions - it is a mistake. But at the same time it is not something taken lightly because it lies great opportunities for...

    Pulling the trigger

    I would immediately get any piece of paper and pen => start to write a paragraph on why you are having doubts. Just keep writing and writing... What sort of feelings arise when you are in doubt? Then pursue the reasons behind the feelings however filmsy... There are always logics behind...

    Market order vs. Limit order for scalping

    Just to make sure.... When I said thick market and thin market, I don't mean high volume and low volume. I am talking about the number of limit orders in each level in the DOM. NQ and YM have smaller number of contracts as limit orders on each level and traders will game it differently than ES...

    2011: Rebuilding My Battered Account

    neke, I have a thought that I entertain during trading. it is a bad rehash of what I heard from my Buddhist teachers over the years, i.e. "Fixing the past" is flawed thinking. It is like buying the most expensive coffin for a loved one out of guilt for not attending her better when...

    Market order vs. Limit order for scalping

    I only scalp ES which is a thick market. I heard limit order might work better for thin market such as YM and NQ. My first choice would be using market order. Sometimes I will scale in another position with limit (I am confident with the signal) if there is slippage for my entry but not too...

    What is the best way to learn how to day trade?

    Hey learner, I just want to say my own opinion at this stage of scalping ES. You really need a methodology that works. In order for you to have the discipline to execute the plan, the plan has to work in the first place. Not the other way around. Fixing psychology or practicing bad...

    What is the best way to learn how to day trade?

    I just skim thru this book last night. If you get this one book "The very latest E-mini trading" by Michael J. Gutmann, it will be the cross section distillation of the best information flowing out there regarding day trading ES emini. That one book will be equivalent to thousands dollars of...

    What does x% implied volatility mean?

    From what I read up VIX yesterday, people might explain away implied volatility with the definition but to me, IV seems to be some kind of emotional "premium" for my lack of better word due to increase agressiveness in the option purchasing. When the market drops, investor scrambles to buy...

    biz, if you know it, I will take your answer into consideration too... I would not subscribe to the whole divergence theory unless I think I know what is going on behind the scene.
