As the originator of "Mr Subliminal's Remote Trading Journal", I wish to publicly disassociate myself from everything said about remote trading in this thread. When I referred to myself as a remote trader, in case it wasn't obvious, I had the following Merriam-Webster definition in mind ...

You answered it in your heading : 3 well capitalized whores.

Sorry about that. I was referring to the unrealistic treatment of your limit orders. jump the queue (British) : to advance directly to or as if to the head of a line. queue-jumping : when you unfairly go to the front of a queue (line). As for Pamela Anderson, 30 years ago she was only...

30 years ago I would dream of a night with Sophia Loren - today, I'll settle for the above treatment of my limit orders. pspr hit the nail on the head. For forward testing without putting any money on the line, there are more realistic simulators out there which don't allow this sort of blatant...

Just stumbled across New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's website and I must say that it is both highly informative and extremely helpful. Some of the reports and articles are bone-chilling - I took the liberty of pulling out 26 points which, to me, summarize the raison d'etre of his...

One of the first things I ever backtested was : (1) Let B = bias, where B = 1 for long, and B = -1 for short. Initially select B randomly. (2) Enter trade with bias B. (3) If trade in (2) is a winner, bias remains unchanged. If trade in (2) is a loser, reverse bias (ie. B = -B). (4)...

Then we've met.

You remind me of myself as a youth. I desperately wanted to have a heavenly body named after me as there was no shortage of amateur astronomers who, by accident or design, had gained this distinction. I would gaze upwards into the skies nightly, looking for that heretofore unnamed object that...

Thanks for the replies, harry. Very interesting.

... or C4 for NexTrend users.

I believe it should be e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0

The density function of the arcsine distribution (as described in the link provided by OddTrader) depicts the results I obtained. This is a visual affirmation only.

Just ran a few sims because I didn't believe you, harry. For a million coin tosses, I would have expected the "time" heads is ahead of tails to be roughly equal to the "time" tails is ahead of heads. Well, the results are as you say, and I agree with you that it is counterintuitive. All I can...

Don't flatter yourself - the "door" is reserved for ingrates and I've used it before. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=363991#post363991 Now do everyone a favor and make yourself scarce. Or better still, return to your old constructive handle.

D-d-d-d-d-don't g-g-get me st-t-t-tarted.

One could say that. To be honest, if it weren't for my racing knowledge (all theoretical of course), I would have answered as pspr did.

4_P_3 or $24. And why would the number of horses in the race matter? Careful, knowledgebone, this is not a probability question. And don't confuse James' lack of preference with the definition of "trifecta".

harry, assume that we're about to sit down and play a fair coin toss game for 100 tosses. How can you utilize the arcsinus law to your advantage?

As electron says, get a good introductory book. Apart from remembering a few basic formulae and doing some exercises, there's not really much you can do to prepare for something like this. Most of the time you'll have to compute the fraction whose numerator and denominator is (number of...
