Bonrat08, you wrote some rather weird stuff in your first reply to me, then you proceeded to make some claims about me. That does not go unanswered. From your first reply - knowledge is of course correlated to wisdom - stating otherwise would be completely bullshit. While fundamentalist...

... but that was stopped at +5pips. Will look at this for new entry - but better setup. The USDJPY is still strongly confined between 98 and 99 - so it looked like it could break out downwards with the help of EURJPY, but not yet. If it goes below 98.20 it has a good chance. Supposedly a...

Short EURJPY 128.75 stop 129.30 target 127.20 .

Politicians and much of bureaucracy would be greatly reduced, so they might not be too keen on having this. However, with representative direct democracy - they have nothing they can say. It is just getting people to vote that matters. Get the signatures and form a party. There are already...

If you consistently have moves around +/- 10pips - then identify if your trading goals are these kind of fast profits - which it seems is not the case, or if you are operating with too much leverage - so that your stops are way too tight or you get too squeamish about the trade going negative...

In the months before, I have been posting a lot about direct democracy and a representative direct democracy as a transition. Open audit and transparency are possible while still maintaining voting privacy/secrecy - using technology. As long as the technological platforms are 100% transparent...

CNN is less streamlined on the Democrat/Republican alignment - so they get more of "both sides", yes... but they are just as flawed and run huge "media campaigns" which are deeply biased. Anderson Cooper keep referring to William Kristol as "a leading conservative", Wolf Blitzer just added...

The French said BoJ can go it alone, while the German finance minister said that the Yen fluctuations were worrisome - i.e helping in verbal intervention.

Wasn't it so that there were toughly 13% of VW stocks short, and after the Porsche buy-in only about 5% were available to the market - which made prices skyrocket.... ? :)

EURJPY is very well behaved now, surprisingly so - and that is probably a good indicator that some better liquidity is in place in the market. Support and resistance levels seem like they are quite easy to get right now.

Markets will be volatile all week long and possibly well into next week with more numbers, international diplomacy and the US election. However, there were many good setups involving the Yen today, and very "civilized" trading - just adjusting to the right timeframe and it was all wonders...

I actually have written hundreds of posts about that here on this forum, but as for "past examples" - the Internet is a rather "new thing" - the "information revolution" and all that stuff... "Ignorance is bliss" - the religious will just filter out anything they don't like. You should read...

What do you think of the neo-conservative ideologists who were Trotskyist, Marxist, Shachtmanist communists with totalitarian ideas - but then became anti-Soviet (and supposedly "anti-communist") while continuing just as politically radical - wanting their ideology to saturate all of society in...

Some years ago I watched that documentary about the 2000 and 2004 elections - called "Hacking Democracy". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Democracy - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4762159260759486531 . I was shocked back then about how US voting systems are open for...

VW is absolutely massive in South America.

Well, that used to be true - but now there is something called the Internet, maybe you've heard of it? Although 79% of the world population does not have direct access to the Internet, there is still a large diversity of participants - and not just the "dominating winners" who rule all after a...

As a professional software developer... that is just the most sorry piece shit software I have seen in my entire life. There is absolutely no excuse for an error like that, and it is trivial to avoid something like that when designing a user interface, and messaging protocols e.g for voting...

Gordon Brown has long experience from the UK finance ministry (over 10 years, the longest serving UK chancellor for 200 years) and from the IMF. I think Gordon Brown has a lot more clue than Henry Paulson or George W. Bush - and Brown has been hailed by many leading economists around the...
