    What is the WORST indicator?

    Dear ortega, I simply laughed a bit - you misspelled "Phantom" - you wrote "Phatom". I could not pass up the oppurtunity to have some fun. Be good, nononsense

    Is NQ liquid enough to scalp 10 contracts ?

    Dear Nick, Sorry, I really did not want to upset you. I only saw the occasion to squeeze in a little joke. Best regards, nononsense

    Is NQ liquid enough to scalp 10 contracts ?

    My remark was simply in line with your "... something to offer on these boards ...". It looked to me that your observation "It really seems to have some wise-guys as of late...." came a bit late, given the last post in this thread dated from roughly 7 weeks before. Sorry Nick, no need to blow...

    What is the WORST indicator?

    Hi, Little nononsense has never found any indicator that was any good. However, if they would not exist, he would have to invent them. Be good, nononsense

    Choosing mechanical systems

    Dear damir00, Very nice damir00. I'm not sure that I have sufficient humility yet, but I gathered a lot over the years, whenever something went wrong, from trying to "argue" with all kind of computers about "who was right". With people, such exercise is often without merit. Be good...

    Automated/Mechanical Trading

    Dear Andre, I started up a thread on API's in the Software Forum, but not many people seem to go this way right now. I will be in the chatroom today. Be good, nononsense

    Is your trading strategy more like fishing or hunting?

    Dear TMTrader, It looks like your "." forum has even more success than this one. Keep on inventing new ones. Be good, nononsense

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Dear nyc-hotshot, Nice thread that you started, I must say. Your above statement is intriguing. I don't know what to say about it. If you could elaborate a little more, please do. Be good, nononsense

    DMI/ADX consistently works

    Guys, congratulations, this is what I would call a more orderly thread than the one mentioned in the first post or so. Little nononsense was slowly finding his way around this time and looking for those benchmarks that some people had been talking about. You got me really worrying now...

    I get a big fat "plop" from one of my faithful "pestpatrol" or other doggies when I go to this site. nononsense

    Buffett's Letter -- Sneak Peek

    Some in clandestine companies combine; Erect new stocks to trade beyond the line; With air and empty names beguile the town, And raise new credits first, then cry 'em down; Divide the empty nothing into shares, And set the crowd together by the ears. —Defoe Yours humbly, nononsense

    Buffett's Letter -- Sneak Peek

    I seem to remember the following about WB (please correct if I misquote). He once summed up his wisdom about handling money as follows: RULE #1: Never loose money; RULE #2: Never forget RULE #1. I thing this pair would be not bad for derivatives as well nononsense

    better univeristy = better trading job ?

    Dear "The Answer", You defend your thesis here with a lot of color. I'm just back from a trip to the "how do u determine if something is statistically significant" thread. This made me reflect a bit on Blaise Pascal who lived now about 350 years ago. In fact this fellow, rather sickly...

    Hard drive

    Dear Waggie, I agree with everything you say waggie, but would like to add the following: $134.00 is a lot for 36.7Gigs. In most applications your would be better off staying at 7,200rpm disks and for the same money getting something like 150Gigs or more. You should of course get a type...

    Choosing mechanical systems

    Dear Trend Fader, I found many of your posts very interesting. With this one I would be a little more careful. "Curve fitting" is a procedure that is, of course, a well defined concept between mathematicians. To my liking it is used too much by market illuminati to discard an idea that they...

    My Take On Jack

    I'm happy you found out somehow that "the market is not simple". Obviously in my post I was not talking about the market being simple but about avoiding getting into a chaotic ream of posts. I think we all should apply a little commonsense to this riddle. If not, some half wits might indeed...
