Sounds like stuff from Ken MacLeod's"Fall Revolution" sci-fi series, which, among other things, describes a future struggle between human beings and "post-humans" who have uploaded themselves into virtual forms, but undergo a catastrophic event also referred to as "the Singularity" - sort of a...

Those estimates of human brain computing power are based on unproven, highly dubious theories and assumptions about the functioning of the brain. If you haven't done so already, you might consider taking a look at the "quantum consciousness" work by Penrose and Hameroff for some alternative...

The more things change...

Tradestation 6 offers a "Discretionary" order - described as follows: Discretionary You can use this option to reflect a Bid/Ask at a lower/higher price than you are willing to pay. For example, stock ABCD is 10.15 Bid and offered at 10.35. You are willing to pay 10.25. However, if you bid...

Actually, I think the bigger players are both individually and in aggregate a lot bigger than they were 20 years ago. I suppose you mean that in certain markets they no longer represent as high a percentage of the daily dollar volume? That's very probably true, I think, though the actual...

I don't think I really use "so many different methods": At any given point of the trading day, I am rarely looking for more than a couple different set-ups, usually only one. That different patterns have different names may make it look like there are more of them or a greater number of...

1) I never pretended to be a "great sage." 2) As for my own strategy, at this point I day-trade exclusively, e-minis and Nasdaq stocks. In short, I trade off price patterns and use tape-reading and market breadth. If you want more detail, I kept a journal for a while - including a basic...

Famous last words... Crossover systems can work well for months or even years, then hit periods when they produce losses just as dependably as they formerly produced wins. If the drawdown hits at the time that, with your recently improved confidence, you've increased position size, then they...

Then why has the more "fair and orderly" exchange moved in the opposite direction, ceding major trading turf to new specialists through AMEX? To this point, it strikes me as the worst "innovation" that's taken place in recent years: In my observation, the AMEX specialists are generally just...

It seems that the Nasdaq and NYSE are becoming more like each other, but that, as should be no surprise, the changes are uneven and sometimes uncomfortable, especially when they make previously effective or efficient trading tactics more difficult. It's possible that, at the same time that the...

Yeah, and, if the Romulans are cloaked, then how does he know that they're on both sides?

Your assertions are not borne out by the facts: Average daily ranges generally remain, in percentage terms, well above pre-decimalization historical levels, if currently below the periodic extreme high levels they've reached during crash phases (pre- and post-decimalization). That's true for...

The QQQs produce a spikey, often misleading and messy chart and, as others have put it elsewhere, trade in a "cloud" around the bid-ask. Though the NQ's trade at a wide spread (.5, not .1), the average range of a given NQ bar in short time frames is significantly narrower than of a given...

Or using a "Quotes" page? Or (the alternative I much prefer) having your workspaces laid-out and either loaded or ready-to-load ahead of time? Also, I agree a true scanning capacity would be handy, but there's much you can do (and much more advanced and customizable stuff, too, than on most...

Haven't been keeping this journal for the last month or so, but I'm still alive and trading and even keeping trade gifs. The reasons I stopped posting them here are 1) Though some initial discussion greeted the creation of this journal, feedback dropped down to zero - not even an...

...is blowing out your account. The "dick" comment may not have been entirely frivolous, or anyway may be on point: See Elder and others on the possible links between gambling and masturbation. You may have to accept that there may be authentic psychological and even physiological...

I'm not really clear what your difficulty using material from other sources. If the source material is an EL file, then you'd use the "Import EL" menu. If the source material is text, you'd have to cut and paste and save and verify it, either by creating a new EL file of the appropriate type...

... ... You rang?

Over the course of three years now, as a client first of Omega and then of Tradestation Securities, I've found customer support mostly excellent, including some very helpful, concerted efforts to clear up the handful of problems or difficulties that cropped up, some of which weren't really TS's...

The settings look about what I thought... My initial impression of the results suggests that there will be many instances where you get FastK > 85 some bars ahead of H > BollBand(2.2) (the Stochastic "Pop" scenario), potentially leading to repeated whipsaws in strong "waking the bands"-type...
