    Prop Industry Live Audio Chat

    I could not attach the mp3 file to my previous post. I believe the reason is that the file is 18.1mb, too large to attach. Does anyone know of a website where I can post the file and others can download it from there? I would rather do this than send the file individually to other ETers.

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    After reading this thread, it seems that the reason people get over-wrought about trading being considered gambling is that most people believe gambling has a negative connotation, whereas operating a business does not, even though clearly both involve risk. I think whoever used the word...

    Is trading Gambling or not .."What say You" Vote here.

    Am I wasting time learning Visual Basic?

    I am also facing the problem (as a non-programmer) of how to develop strategies and systems and then backtest them. Most of what you guys discussed earlier went over my head. While I wouldn't object to knowing how to program, I'm trying to focus all my efforts on trading, so a means to an...
