Hi HTR, I always enjoy your posts about trading, they are always very inspiring. Here are a couple of ideas, take with grain of salt, I am no expert and really don't understand women, but I hope they may give you some new ideas. Instead of trying to avoid "greedy bitches", which is negative...

I saw one on this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=225313&highlight=floored+movie Floored -- they interview several people who used to work the pit floor, then goes into how things are changing, and they have to do everything on computer now. I don't remember...

This week, if you have a losing trade, could you post it as well? I saw one person on youtube with his trades, the winners all looked great, but it helped to also see the times where it did not work out and how to handle those cases. Thanks, this is an interesting thread. I think one of the...

Sorry, the last 2 have me a bit confused: - in "confirmed_support.jpg", it seems the point is that price will go back towards the previous spike - in "pinnohio.jpg", it seems the point is after the spike, with confirmed support, the price will go away from the spike Or did pinnohio.jpg...

I heard "My Way" many times in my younger days when I used to go out with friends, it was always one of the top karaoke songs, so you could see the lyrics. Not particularly my style of music, but it got me thinking about the kind of things like in this thread early on. Biggest take: "if there's...

I really like Python now. In just a few hours over the last few days I've gone from nothing to some lines of code that can get a value from a specific cell in a list of old spreadsheet files I made last year, then make a Series and get some stats on them, so they're no longer dead data. Before I...

thanks -- I have been wondering about Price Action trading, this helps fill in a big question I had. I am generally on the side of the previous comment about "high probability" without actual counting. But in considering the opposing side, I've read about halfway through Al Brooks book, and have...

For these 2 posts, I had a question: ... 01-26-12 04:02 AM We now have a double bottom and long at 1.3148 stop 20.When price retraces to previous support ,it is a confirmed support. 01-26-12 04:43 AM Dr Cornelius want to go long at 1.3160 because there are a lot of short stops above...

I did some research along these lines a while back. I had the same idea: if I found a strategy around 1/3 win rate, then reversing the trades should change it to around 2/3 win rate. So I coded an app to do it. The win rate still came out around 1/3. Looking into it more deeply, the original...

Thanks for noting pandas, I had never heard of it. I've been looking for something to do with python to learn it.

Thank you for the response, I agree, my range bar knowledge is undeveloped. But actually I had a question -- what are the alternating red - blue bars? They look interesting. But if they're some kind of secret, I'll respect that and withdraw my question. thanks

I suppose you wouldn't have an engulfing bar if they are all 3 pips. But actually I had a question -- what is the alternating red-blue bars?

same here, went to check the calendar to see if there's anything special, and noticed -- oh man!! -- the calendar says it's 2012 !!!!!!!!!!

this person's wiki-inspired site, free data to download, with stocks and other types of data: http://wikiposit.org/w but I think you might have to find out what stocks in the DJ prior to 1999, I don't know if they have that specified anywhere. I've gotten some data but don't do much...

This penalty could be the FBAR filing requirement: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=148849,00.html Hope that helps provide some more info.

If there was only one trade, could you rephrase T, X as: T = target profit for the trade X = stop loss for the trade or is that oversimplifying too much? Thanks for writing out the math step by step, it is very helpful.

"poo - ket" both syllables pronounced with a short duration, and equal stress. Not sure if that's exactly right, but should be close enough that most people will recognize where you are talking about.

A few years ago, they passed a law that if you are a foreigner, you must show a work permit to open a bank account. (Don't know about people on retirement visas.) In fact, I went to the bank for an existing bank account opened way before that law, and all I wanted was to register it so I could...

Ha hah ha -- Hopefully, that list of beliefs, the trader burns through them faster than his account, so he can get over it and still keep going. Usually it's the other way around. It's better not to go by a credo of beliefs, but of disconfidence of beliefs; and emulation of the character of a...

Just wanted to clarify my point so it doesn't sound too cynical -- if there's something you enjoy, that is good, please enjoy it; but don't be tricked into doing something you don't particularly care for, just because you think "I'm not doing anything, I have to do something fun". The key point...
