Obviously this thread has turned into a free for all. I'm just going to post this one little tidbit then my work will be done here. No matter what the "truth" is the non-believers will never have the last laugh. If we really did evolove from monkeys without the help of a higher power, and...

If you were to go about proving TA how would you do it? Since there are an infinite # of possible system/market/variable combinations I don't think that the question is reasonable. At best you would test a bunch of combinations and then would have to generalize the results (which is probably...

Bronks, You're a good guy and I hope you get to the next level in your trading. I'll try to not sound too surface so let me just say this: the core issue you're facing is being obscured by all the other variables involved in trading. It may be hard to see what exactly the core issue is so let...

This is a bad place to be. I agree, reading depressing stuff by bitter traders can bring you down. But you have to allow it to happen by dwelling on it. Ok time to move forward and upward. You make your future, not anyone else. You know what the real holy grail in this business is? It is...

Agree. There are Anti NRA, Pro Life, liberal social program, conservative fiscal policy Republicans. The flipside is a Democrat like Senator Zell Miller who is basically a Republican in all but party. Agree. This is the game politicians from both parties play, the difference between running...

I'm doing some tests on P&F but I'm having a hard time understanding the basic concept. I need help. In all the charting packages I've seen, when a bar reverses you get something that looks like: X XO XO XO The X or up box is always one boxsize higher than the next O or downbox...

My favorite show of this (action/spy) genre is a relatively unknown British show that airs on A&E called MI-5. This show is very well done and is definitely worth a look.

But then he would not only drop from the top 10... but also lose his "Elite" status.

I agree with your great post, and I think any difference in interpretation is due to semantics. My view is that liquidity is a function of the relative aggressiveness of buyers and sellers. If there is no liquidity at a level, either the buyers have overcome the sellers at a particular level, or...

Exactly - but knowing when the news is coming out or that the news has come out is useful info.

Ours is not to question why, ours is just to sell then buy. :D The sooner you learn there are no myserious secrets, just buying and selling, the better. The fact that it is moving is enough, it doesn't always coincide with news events, more often than not the movement is a result of the normal...

Who created the $38.2 billion deficit? And when you're that far in the hole, what is another $0.43, particularly when the threat is so imminent?

Yes Einstein, but if it was such an imminent threat then by doing nothing the governor may have put the state government in jeopardy of both civil and criminal negligence for not doing anything to protect the citizens in four counties who were affected by the fires.

Since when is the US President responsible for running the state of California? If the California governor really thought it was such an imminent threat in his state, why didn't he call a special session of the state congress and strongarm them into passing a spending bill to deal with the...

Moving out would create a power vacuum. Syria and Iran would attempt to move in and exert control, attempting to duplicate their respective political structures in Iraq. Turkey would do the same in the Kurdish area in the North of Iraq. Iraq would at best lose its current borders. You would...

I watched it. What a waste of an hour. It's an action soap opera without action.

Forget the system and pocket the coin. :D

Yeah, Eurex should offer the Nasdaq 101, the S&P 501 and the Russell 2001. Honestly, other than the copyrighted names, I don't know why they couldn't make up their own indexes that are identical or even virtually identical to the other indexes, except in name. They could just call them the EUREX...

Slope is rise over run. So if you have two prices 1020.00 and 1020.5 right next to each other and in that order and your barspacing is 1. (1020.5-1020.0)/1 = .5 At least that's what I recall from my algebra class.

Gekko: A curious breed of animal hell-bent for the neitherworld.... in 2051. :D
