I read somewhere paper can only be folded 7 times. I tried it out with a legal size sheet and around 6 folds it was more like a big ball and wouldn't fold anymore.

If you mean commission-free -- Schwab lets you trade their Schwab ETFs commission-free, with no minimum holding period. Here are some I had from notes a while back: SCHF SCHC SCHE SCHZ SCHP SCHO SCHR SCHB SCHX SCHG SCHV SCHD SCHM SCHA SCHH Etrade also offers around 30 I think from different...

I did a similar study to #3 a while back, but with 5 minute bars on EURUSD or AUDUSD, 'what's the probability of making an 8th high in a row?' It worked out to some low number like 3% or 5%, so I thought, bet against it. The next question was which bar to bet against it, the 7th, the 5th, the...

I go back to my idea of what intuition is (not saying everyone has this idea): intuition is when cortical areas outside of the conscious cortical area put pieces together to solve a problem, and send the solution to conscious awareness. The problem is those other cortical areas are outside...

Sounds similar to the technique I use, first keep the mind very quiet, try not to have any thoughts. Then when I look at the chart, if a number or price pops into my head, I follow it by consciously asking: where did that thought come from? is that a real number (by which I mean, a real...

Ha ha ha, I think I saw in this in '12 Monkeys' (1996): Brad Pitt is a crazy guy, trying to pull a prank of letting zoo animals loose. He's explaining his crazy plan to one of his gang members, and includes how the psychiatrist knows what he is planning. The guy asks how she would know? His line...

This site has a Python 'project' for doing event studies: http://wiki.quantsoftware.org/index.php?title=QuantSoftware_ToolKit I took a coursera course that taught it: https://www.coursera.org/course/compinvesting1 I really like the project, it can do a lot, it can search for an event in...

If the returns were drawn from a normal distribution, I wish I could tell in advance the order in which the returns would be drawn. For the above -- so this is why my backtesting (when I used to do it) sucked so much. I followed the usual approach of develop on some recent past data, then...

Let me rephrase that, I suppose there is research going already, perhaps better to say 'to do more research', sorry about the poor wording.

Just wanted to mention, if you can do research with less info, there are commercial EEG brain wave readers available for $100 - $300 or so. They are able to provide readings of alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and theta waves. With a bit of coding, you could write your own apps to record the readings...

Thanks, that's very interesting -- your description with 'house', 'rooms' and 'foundations'. That's something I would not have thought of, in fact reflecting on it, my 'probability distributions projections' are probably more like rational conscious analysis and not like the intuition from...

I've come to think logical reasoning (at least deductive arguments) won't work on a stochastic or fractal process with randomness involved, because these type of processes don't have one-to-one relationships between a given set of knowable inputs and the resulting outputs. It's better to use...

In your research, have you found an optimal brain-wave state for this intuition? I have an EEG brain-wave reader (retail grade not medical grade) that gives me a display of my alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta waves. Sometimes it's fun to watch, it gives good feedback to help calm and quiet...

I think it's the forum and text posts, a lot of the subtleties of communication are removed. No sarcasm intended, and sure hope nobody takes it that way. It is an honest question I have, because often in 'mind' discussions there is a range between the concrete, where they talk about brain parts...

Thank you for the first clarification: intuition is the result of our sub-conscious processes. But the second quote, along with reference to quantum activist Goswami, is where I need clarification: in the theory of this thread, where does intuition come from? So far, I've come up with 3 ideas...

Armit Goswami -- I saw him on a public channel's pledge drive last year. They said, many quantum physicists agree with his ideas. Also, they said he wrote an introductory book on quantum physics, which is still widely used today in the first course in quantum physics. I think they showed...

'without observation' -- this would imply there was no input into the brain (eg, previous observations of relationships, smells that would suggest the presence of something, changes in temperature) for the intuition. I think this becomes unscientific, because if there is no input, how can there...

What is the definition of "intuition"? Reading over the first page, I've seen 'subliminal decision making', 'hidden abilities of the brain', some other things about pattern recognition. Sorry if it was presented before, but do you have a more precise definition, and how would one recognize...

Sorry, not interested to sell mine. Aside from these public products, which are closer to hobbyist tools, they're experimenting with more advanced versions for people who can't move their body. There was a clip from 60 Minutes, with training the patient was able to visualize letters and get...

Thanks, but don't get me wrong, I'm no meditation expert or have perfect mental discipline. Sorry, but I don't know much about the spirituality or trading side, so I won't comment on that. I have a simple trial-and-error approach: I try something, if I like it, good, I don't think about how or...
