    China don't believe in patents?

    Improving a new technology and applying for a patent on it isn't an infringement on an existing patent, unless you start to use it commercially. It's a situation that happens a lot, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry - an original researcher will develop a new drug then patent it, then...

    China don't believe in patents?

    Your statements are very misleading! It is common for a patent holder to obtain numerous patents on improvements and other adaptations to the original invention. However anyone is free to do this and they will have a patent granted to them for a improvement on a currently patented invention...

    China don't believe in patents?

    You seem to not understand the difference between a natural law and a technological limitation. In the case of modems, in was in fact 33.8Kb/sec that was the though to be the technological peak based on analogue systems over a telephone connection. This barrier was broken by the digital...

    China don't believe in patents?

    Your posts are both somewhat entertaining and emotive, as conspiracy theories tend to be. However, like most other conspiracy theories, your posts don't take into account fundamental laws, in this case both patent laws and laws of nature. On the subject of internal combustion engines, which...

    Ueber technology in Wellington?

    The only possibility I can think of is that perhaps Weta Digital (who are based in Wellington) have arranged a high speed link with someone (presumably a movie or effects studio), connected to a server near you (presumably Texas) and somehow you're going along for the ride?

    I LOVE the HSI futs!

    Mini-Nikkei trades in 5 point increments, full-Nikkei trades with 10 point increment on Osaka exchange, while the Singapore version of the full Nikkei trades with 5 point increment but is worth half as much. But yeah, spread is nearly always one tick for full and mini.

    So I've "invented" an indicator

    Hi Hilojack, Contrary to what others may have told you, it is possible to patent aspects of an indicator. One of the reasons that Bollinger Bands or something like it was not patented is that in the eighties when it was created, patent law didn't allow for it. While it is still not...

    Why would anyone trade the US futures?

    I've been watching HSI for a while now to see what opportunities it presents, as it is also in my time zone. With its volatility, you must have some great setups to use only a 7 point stop!

    Nzd/us

    There is a lot of pressure on the RBNZ to increase interest rates, which they will likely do, which could see the possibility of NZD going to 0.80.

    Naif's Trading

    I agree with apex, with such a small number of backtested trades, you may have over-optimised your system. The risk is that if your system doesn't actually have a positive expectancy, with only 6-8 trades a month it may take you a while to find that out. You should test it on out of sample...

    Aud/usd

    I've gone short now that AUD/USD has hit the ceiling at just under 12 months highs. Difficult to determine an appropriate t/p given that there is a rate announcement in 12 hours. I'm currently of the opinion that the "likely" rate hike has already been priced into this pair. But...

    How many profitable Experts are there?

    Does anyone else consider the 'guarantee' concerning the use of the code not particularly persuasive? " The Organizer guarantees that it will not attempt to decompile the experts' files sent by Participants. "

    Must read article in SciAm answers a question often asked on ET: Born or Made?

    I agree with most of what you are saying, but the above quote to me is the point of difference. We can all see what a player is physically capable of, and we can all observe how much they practice and their apparent determination. However what we can't see is what a player is thinking. What is...
