The recent definition of plunge for headlines is less than 4-5% drop.:D

Listen carefully to this. Very wise words.

I've read it, and it is an interesting read on Machiavellian type strategies to rise to or maintain power. Unless you are in some type of political or group position to affect an outcome over others, I'm not exactly sure how you intend to apply that towards trading for yourself. I'm doubtful...

That's just it. You will never know with 100% certainty that it will go to your projected target. Therefore, does it make sense to put on a maximum position at the initial entry? One insight I had was that the average maximum incremental risk/reward per time is always right at the entry...

so long old friend. :( http://www.detnews.com/article/20110718/BIZ/107180368/Report--Liquidators-still-only-bidders-for-Borders-after-Sunday-deadline

If they were, I doubt they would divulge it. On the other hand, it is a publicly known fact that at least one HFT firm engaged in intentionally manipulative tactics that were illegal. Not that I have anything against HFT at all; just that I wouldn't immediately dismiss the nanex...

Swan Noir, You never explicitly stated if it was a laptop. It intuitively seems easier to troubleshoot if it is a desktop, IMO. As far as I know, you'd have to go through a lot of trouble to remove the physical mouse from a laptop. Have a look at some other forums; some have indeed found...

I'll also vouch for this; Peter Nordahl==lifesaver.

Any reason why you added one to the max losing streak S=12.16? If I run a very large simulation, it converges to an average of 12, as the expected max losing streak (with your parameters). Here is an R script to run a single sample for illustration. Keep in mind it will take a very large...

I used to use AVG, until they became another bloatware like Norton (everytime I see that pre-installed, it is the first to get uninstalled). Because AVG started the web scan that slowed it down a lot, I've since used and rec'd Avira and have had no problems to date. Very happy with it for a...

yes, there are a few, but not TA indicators.:cool:

Nice advice and intro spreadsheet above. If you really want to learn VBA; I'd suggest to start working on examples related to finance. A good book to learn would be 'Financial Modeling,' by Simon Benninga.

http://www.businessinsider.com/krach-trader-games-2010-8 Looks entertaining. from imdb: "The only thing better than Oliver Stone making a movie about Wall Street is having a French dude make a film about trading and casting a very unlikely character to fill the shoes of the bad guy...

Just caught that. Feel for anyone that was short nsm.:eek:

FWIW, at least from my perspective, I don't recall too much complacency just before the top. I recall there was still a heavy wall of worry as there were many sites/blogs complaining about mortgage/housing problems (I even recall mentioning some articles on toxic CDOS); financials started to...
