This is an example of the free market. The ranchers that predicted this are making a killing now. It's survival of the best ranchers. Only the weak perish. Seriously, most of the ranchers vote republican then ask for handouts, what the heck. Have some pride!:mad: If you're bankrupt...

China is the prime example. China has more tariffs, more protectionism than the USA, and is somehow growing their economy more than the USA. So protectionism is good? :eek:

The hardest thing to do is decide whether you want to enter a position during an event like the government shutdown .I still remember my system told me to go long at the fiscal cliff in dec of last year. I simply did not know whether to go long or not. There is no 100% hard rule that says yes or...

I love this video. Watched it in 2008. What a newb i was. I did the same thing as that guy, but unfortunately (or fortunately) didnot videotape my near blowups. I was laughing so much.:D This guy was know from the defunct blog "High probability Trading" lol whenever somebody used the...

Indeed, a massive rally is about to start... to S&P 2000.

I have tried doing calculus and statistics for free on coursera. but quit after 1 week cuz its so BORING. Making money in the market is much more exciting

Lots of people who were banking coin in 2008 were banking coin because of high volatlity using sub-par methods. I was one of them. We called ourselves trend traders. Then when volatility disappeared I realized we werent trend traders at all. Trend was up yet I was losing money. I was trading...

I lost €50k same story before I finally realized the power of consistent backtesting. Aka spend 1-2 hours at least a day just thinking about new ways to backtest, exercise the idea muscle. Read ET or investments books for ideas. etc etc. Ive probably tried over 200 different ideas and only 5...

I am always afraid my system stops working. I have a system with 100% profitable years but only 15 trades a year (swing) This was in 2011 i discovered it and backtested on all SPY data since 1993. Then i got scared in 2012 to trade it. Guess what, 2012 and 2013 (so far) both were profitable...

I couldn't believe my eyes either. But if I told YOU what I know now you would 100% believe me that the flashcrash was predictable (and thus preventable by the FED). I have 100% proof. Too bad I learned not to give away edges. The edges does have a weakness though. The FED can ocassionally stop...

I figured out a system that predicted the flashcrash of 2010, (backtested it also predicted the crash of 1987 and the recession in 2008 and many more) but so far no signals. no crashes are incoming in 2013 unfortunately. Its so annoying discovering the holy grail but not be able to make money...

uhm noo.... that doesnt sound right. calories is still calories the reason keto diets work is because they suppress hunger. So you feel full at 1500 calories instead of 2000 calories because of the lack of carbohydrates. so keto diet is basically a form of fasting without the hunger feeling...

Its false. HFT stop trading when the going gets tough.

I backtested average down and doesnt seem to work that good. its kinda like martingale. but taking a second trigger on a stronger signal can sometimes work. like if you buy at RSI3 then RSI2 and RSI1 are legit triggers and its technically not averaging down because you are trading three...

The best I could find was 120 ES a year for 100$ a month. With commission its goes down to 100 ES. Very overpriced IMO. $50 is a much better deal. I no not a room with 100 a week. Thats 5000 ES a year I can only get that buy trading 100 cars.

all relationships can break down. high unemployment like today usually means high stock market returns, but this correlation can break.

I know a chatroom where you make 100 ES point a year per contract, unfortunaly subtracting commissions its only 50-75 points or so. Commissions are really huge in most trading systems. it only costs 50 a month. I think its value for money. so its 1 ES per month for 5 ES point a month, a 400%...

Turnaround tuesday :eek: :eek: :eek:

yes, i am an introvert and rarely talk to people. trading is a way to avoid talking to people. however i have found it's not healthy if you don't talk to anybody at least every day. you can quickly lose motivation. luckily I am still in a parttime day job so I have ample opportunity to talk to...
