    Meditation and trading

    Depends on the actual idea. There are lots of meditation apps, both free and for money, on mobile/tablet platforms. Some adhere to some organization while others may be more generic / experimental. I wouldn't do it if not accountable for teaching a practice personally. Meditation is yoga, and...

    Attention Programmers

    Seems being "elite" means that one strives for bad behaviour and attitudes? I'm sure some are like that, especially when struggling. However, many people of means have greater responsibilities and sooner or later realize the number game is not an end in itself.

    Black or white charts? Or something in between? What do you use?

    White background tend to be too bright for me, though hard to find alternatives for documents and articles. Black background good for programming, but need soft colors like cyan. For charts I like warm peach colour, sort of between but not being gray and dull, and black/red bars. Generally, not...

    Strategy validation

    Sounds exactly like my newest system, currently in dd :p Few trades means low statistical significance and higher probability of bias. Could work for longer term, but searching too much also pose problems. All your current data is tainted by your efforts. That's what walk forward helps with...

    Why can't I get to 50% chance even?

    Trend-following consistent above 50% win-rate means you are successfully predicting the future between good future bets and bad future bets, irrespective of holding period. Maybe there are a few rare people who can do this, but it's not usually what trading's all about.

    On 10-case geometry and beyond

    Jack's RDBMS require degapping, at least if following what Jack reiterated in many many posts in several threads, also the most defining threads for RDBMS. However, very few places and only by students, are all bars degapped bar by bar. Jack's own posts all show gaps, though we suspect some...

    On 10-case geometry and beyond

    Looks correct to me. #1 is with full retro from Lat1 at Lat4, no Wait's. #2 is with retro from Lat4 onwards though cancelled by BO, so Wait only on Lat2. This is incidentally what I find hard about JH methodology. In real-time every piercing of Lat boundaries become potential BO. Same with RTL...

    Why It Is So Hard to Live in the Present

    Depressed people seek relief. When the relief is knowledge, they may become more aware of themselves. Some even break free. Happy people don't need relief.

    Identifying a reversal (trend change)

    What risk management mistakes did this top Norway trader make to blow up his account?

    For persons yes. For insolvent companies? Out of my field, but I suspect not or there are ways around it. The state is pro-persons, so make sense. For banks and institutions there may be exemptions, though the last financial disaster of 2008 may have depleted most saving graces.

    What risk management mistakes did this top Norway trader make to blow up his account?

    The quoted text is about the municipal having to pay 28% of the trader's personal losses, a debt the community probably need to contest or split up over many years, but is part of the symmetrical taxation laws.

    It Would be Good to Have a Section of the Forum with People That Earn More than 200K Per Month

    An example of "ripple effect". https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-15/lehman-s-carcass-has-handed-huge-profits-to-distressed-funds As for Grimstad, a quiet town where painted wooden houses line a horseshoe-shaped harbor, Aas’s tax payments will be sorely missed. He alone...

    What risk management mistakes did this top Norway trader make to blow up his account?

    Not my expertize at all as retail. What it looks like is that members are directly affected. They trade directly, so don't need brokers. Members are hugely institutional and "moderate" amounts for them. There may be some ripple effects and self-regulation, but overall this is chump change in the...
