Incorrect. Science makes NO claims about the universe before the Big Bang. Science only has theories of the cause of the Big Bang and the effects after. There can be no claims before the Big Bang because all evidence prior to it would have been destroyed. Science requires no faith...

We do not know the reason why the universe came into existence: and we will probably never know. That's no reason to 'invent' a creator. Why do you require a creator to explain the universe but have no problem accepting that a CONSCIOUS being does not need a creator? For all we know, a Big...

Really, Reardon!!!! What an asshole that man must be to insure medical care for children. It was bad enough that those damn liberals demand that we feed, clothe, and educate those little fuckers, now this. When will those damn liberals quit tying to make life better!?!?!?

If John Boehner is against it's most likely the right thing to do. The man's a reactionary.

You should be able to average 8 pts. per day on 5 or less trades. 2 of the 5 trades will be winners; 3 of the trades will be 1 pt or less losers. That's my goal and I'm sticking to it; (until I hit it of course). Then it goes up!

Read all of those books and then find some more to read. Alexander Elder's "Trading for a Living" is a great read also.

Per jagmont's post above, the answer to my question would be 'No'. In other words, we do consider other trades (swings) once we are in a trade. This makes sense for the purpose of being able to 'put on a trade and walk away'. I might do some paper trading based on the Rule of 10 but using...

I do have one question, jagmont: This morning the swing low was 1271.25. We went short at 1281.25 but the price (after entry) went to 1282.25 (a new swing high). Shouldn't we stop & reverse at 1272.25? This will give us a profit of 9 pts. (ignoring slippage, etc.).

I get the swing low as 1271.75 which occurred around 9:36 EST? I have the entry at 1281.75 with 1284.75 as a Stop; Objective 1271.75? Jag?

At this point we have been stopped out at 1278.75 around 8:30 EST on 8/7/08. This is a drag because the price went to 1289.0 around 5:30 EST before reversing. In other words, 2.75 pts. from the 10 point objective. Jagmot, what trade is put on now?

I googled 'rule of 10' and 'rule of 10 in trading' but did not see any links to the strategy or 'rules' that you are trading. Could you explain how it works? For example, how do you identify Point 0?

There is a very simple reason why we are here: to reproduce. If evolution had not hard-wired that drive into our body we would be extinct. Be happy that you got this brief flash of existence and don't worry about the day you no longer exist: you won't even know that you're not.

If everything that occurs is "God's will" then there really isn't much point for us to be here. Examples from the Bible are pointless because the writers have the same wants, needs, and delusions as we do today. I will also point out that, if there were a heaven or life after death, then it...

jem, As an aside: string theory lies on the borderline of science and nonsense so don't rely on it too heavily to either support or refute any discussions that you might encounter. Those who even begin to understand this/these theories are NOT posting on Elite Trader. However, I do...

If God knows the future he cannot change it. For example, if God 'knows' that the S&P will close at 1300.00 but then 'changes' the future to have the S&P close at 1305.00 instead then it was never 'in the future' to close 1300.00 Prayer changes nothing. If fact, if there was a God, it...

In other words; if the CAUSE of an event, (such as the Big Bang), is not known, then you or anybody else gets to put forth their belief and it then becomes incumbent on non-believers to disprove these beliefs!?!?!??! If this is what you are saying then: - if you are a Christian then I...

I use Sierra Charts which costs $10.00 per month. I only trade the S&P Emini contract on an intraday basis. I use Sierra to make Stock and Option trades on a daily basis. The IB feed is not real-time (they send data in 5 second increments or something like that), but is adequate for my...

If there is only ONE mind then: "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." No problem.

(I'm saving this quote; just so you can't change it.) First of all, you cannot 'prove' a negative. Science does not proceed from the assumption of 'proving something is false': science looks for evidence to SUPPORT that a thesis is true. All of the superstitions that I have referenced...
