my posts and learning has gone up alot. It is amazing how much time is spent either posting or learning, I find my self listening to alot of university clases in many feilds. jumping around, and then i go a bit too far and come back to the first one, the details are avoided on the first look...

I had posted recently on a thread I started entitled "Gold (at support) 1. I was introduced to the idea of trading pairs. Though the idea and beneifits of this seems to make sense to me yet, I do understand that one can bet on a more isolated situation. An example of this would be...

What kind of Magician are you ?

Funny to see the above comment. Ill hope i enter att hat price it would be nice to have the trade as part of my statistics. It seems like the treads I actually take and the ones I post have different results. but Ill have to calculate it out. I tried a looser entry trade that can be found on...

Its rare some one agrees with me, curious if our reason are even close to the same lol

I'm not at the same place you are, lets first see how intuition comes in to play and they see if we can find a way to deal with that, The thread is interesting even your points.

Bumped in to this http://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/hender/Hybrid.pdf A couple of things that stand out while I skim through it "Market and marketable limit orders are now automatically executed by default, rather than requiring a special code" "In Hybrid, the NYSE also...

Exiting based on something not happening I think is a very powerful tool . I think it is 100 x better then then ones win to lose ratio.

Then a paper and pen is a good amplifier. but that is not intuition.

I cant help but feel like your article and your trading style as in contradiction with one another. But the flaw in human intuition is seen in the article. I have seen this often, the weather man is always wrong or what not.. Maybe intuition is not to blame, maybe something else is getting...

I really have no idea. but there must a couple of key things you learn on the way and alot of extra things you learnt you didnt need. If i spend twice the time you did no moving averages TL's and all that stuff, then It may take me a while more. maybe you hired a programmer at one point...

Made it past one drop with a loose stop, yesterdays took me out though. stupid ! to think the guy that would of used traditional stop is still in. Its just seems like a lot to risk on a trade. but seems is seems. I sold my fear to them.

Yeah it is just that. sad could be added. I just cant get over this number 10,000 hours ? it just doesn't add up. Especially in trading. sit next to the right guy and you can shave off 80% of that time. your no pro but you have direction. Its just a number , Im not saying its easy. Im just...

lol. Its funny to you cause you were not there at that event. Ypu dont see the guy at 1:10- 1:15 mins.

If he pisses you off, you can always pay me to mess with his data, Ill give him my trades and once in a while hand the controls to jack. Then I ll use my real name and apply to his company as a data artist. 20mm for jack a job for me its a win win !

Alot of assumptions present themselves from both sides, as we both here is assumed our worlds are similar. You see what you want to see. and you may indeed use me as an example but I hope I may use you also. I have not invented anything no yet. Maybe inventing will be needed. I type as...

Focus is one of the keys that plagues a new trader. actually looking at ones trades you can see where focus is being over used. The assumption is that focus is good. I lack to see that for a newbie. For example, If your followers were focusers they would not be here. they would still be...

This indicates that all traders using TA should break even minus fees. What could be said about a trader that looses more then the fees? This should be impossible as you say. Yet there are many that loose and few that gain. Those that say they gain tend to be very sensitive to fees which is...

I was looking at some markets and did not want to correlate one with the other. In retrospect I should of done this with USD. My data was the previous 5 months, and it is not separated by month. that is to say month 5 includes all past 5 months and month 4 has all 4. month 1 is the most...

I wonder if the math allows for QE to stop, I just don't see the benefit of stopping it. I guess a conspiracy theory of how unsecured etf's are being used to print "in god we trust" versions of gold wont have a hold here. Either way a bit off topic more of a chit chat thread. So it seems...
