    Abercrombie and Fitch-discrimination or capitalism?

    Regrettably this policy is starting to be directed toward their customer base - I was recently denied entry to their Las Vegas store. They claimed that my very casual summer attire did not conform to their dress code, but anyone with half a brain could see that it was really because I'm very ugly.

    Why is mr. market allowed to continuously post crap in the "trading" section

    From a cursory examination of your 77 posts, it is clear that your personal contribution to the "useful content vs crap ratio" is closer to 3%. It appears therefore, and correct me if I'm wrong, that it would be of mutual benefit to all of us if you buggered off and concentrated more on...

    Arcsinus law: distinguishing trend from persistency of chance

    I don't know what you mean by "anywhere near", but I would expect the ratio to be 1.00 (to 2 decimal places) after a million tosses about 95% of the time, else I'd check the coin. Otherwise, I agree with the gist of your post.

    Why is mr. market allowed to continuously post crap in the "trading" section

    Let me explain why you shouldn't feel dumb. As I see things, there were 4 categories of people : (1) Those that knew what AFAIC meant and understood my post. (2) Those that knew what AFAIC meant and didn't understand my post. (3) Those that (initially) didn't know what AFAIC meant and...

    Not to mine. Take a closer look at the opening sentence of my post. You too, jwlabno.

    X TRADER VS THE WATCHER (lightspeed)

    Yes, you can access more than one market simultaneously with X_TRADER. As for the cheapest broker, this would depend on your volume. I'm with AF and pay $3.30 per RT for the minis, regardless of volume, in addition to the monthly $650 platform fee. This was offered to all EliteTraders in November.

    X TRADER VS THE WATCHER (lightspeed)

    I've used both. Nothing can substitute for the physical movement of price as presented in X_TRADER - it is not just figures but distance, which only reinforces the pleasure or pain. On the other hand, the clockwise or anticlockwise movement of the Level II inside bid is not exclusive to the...

    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    It's Friday evening, all the casinos are closed here, so I thought I would entertain myself, and possibly others, and follow up on my first post in this thread in which I claimed that GG would probably have to eat his shoe, stating that my reasoning could "be found in an exchange of posts in...

    Clearing Firms

    You'd probably get more response if you rephrased the question. While I can highly recommend GHCO, it is not at the expense of Man Financial with whom I have no experience.

    Why is mr. market allowed to continuously post crap in the "trading" section

    I've been scratching my head all morning and, as far as I'm concerned, the following is an exhaustive list :As fast as I can (eg. I'll get back to you AFAIC) A fool and 'is cash (eg. AFAIC are soon parted) As for another idiotic comment (eg. AFAIC, that's what I've come to expect from you)...

    True, but straight after there is a drop from 40.50 to 39.50. From the CME file gx031203.iom : ... ... NQ 0312F 1406050144050 10345900031203NQ22 03120300039E 620031200N NQ 0312F 1406050144050 10346000031203NQ22 03120300250E 620031200N NQ 0312F...

    Eurex Comes to US Markets

    I asked GHCO if, as an X_TRADER user, I qualify for the 3 month free upgrade to X_TRADER Pro. They told me TT's response was : "This is only applicable to the Eurex US platform which does not become available until February 1, 2004. Also, Eurex US has to be an actively traded product."

    What is a good percentage annual return for a day trader?

    mrmarket, I don't see how you can reach such a conclusion ($200,000 to $11,809,800,000) when acrary specifically states that his estimated returns apply only when the equity is less than $200,000. Secondly, how did you get a figure of $11,809,800,000? You have grossly undershot the target, which...

    do you believe "Scientist" has "over $100k" in his trading account?

    This is the beauty of Cyberworld where identities and account sizes are illusory. Nevertheless the odds are not in your favor and you should be prepared to eat your shoe. Because it is irrelevant whether he has $100k in his account or not, I shall omit the logic as to how I came to this...

    Hypothetical scenario - how much would you risk?

    Given everything you have said about the frequency of these trades and your comfort level, I would agree that 3%, and not much higher, is an appropriate amount to risk.

    Inandlong gone?

    "Rocco" is 100% American and having a great time. His posts are carefully interspersed with intentional spelling mistakes like "accessment" and idiotic idioms, but phrases like "dump on him" or "is a crock" leave no doubt as to his nationality. But more importantly, good luck inandlong!

    Globex down?

    Hypothetical scenario - how much would you risk?

    There are different risk of ruin formulae floating around, therefore whenever possible I prefer the use of Monte Carlo simulation - luckily the simplicity of this example lends itself to this method. As always, the usual disclaimers apply. Of course, if I found a trade setup with these...
