I hope you are correct, I thought that too when things were going well. You cannot underestimate the power of people who start from the right and are stuck there or who have been pulled in from the middle, the end result, negative for people on the left, is the same regardless or origin. This...

View Thread Posts: logged in and not blocked -or- not logged in View Post History: logged in and not blocked only Three possibilities on post history not two, logged in and blocked plus logged out you cannot view. The real question is, if someone has been blocked, are they alerted that they...

Let's get this correct. 1. If a user is blocked they cannot see the other persons posts without logging out 2. If a user is blocked they also cannot see the other persons post history 3. If a user logs out they can see the posts from 1. but cannot see the post history from 2. So how does...

Agreed, but transparency is something most don't like, it doesn't allow for lies and stupidity. The most vocal need 100 attempts to get it right once, volume means dilution. The forums needs posts to generate prestige and add new users. Therefore you have a conflict of interest, the source of...

Sharpe 3.44, Beta -2.34, Alpha +25, the methodology being institutional the AUM is somewhere in the stratosphere. One of the funds using it only deals with UHNWIs.

You obviously have a gift, be careful of what happens next. I started with a gift, in keeping my distance became was very successful, being nice I unknowingly listened/subjected myself to IYIs (Intellectuals Yet Idiots), it caused an implosion, and had to do it all again. Fortunately I had a...

Keep it that way, many people have an opinion especially on open forums. If it works then keep going with it. It's very easy to be distracted by the ideas of other people, often having another agenda. Finish your studies, the backup is useful in the future. If the system stops working or you...

Of course there is, the more capital you have the better chance you have of buying higher quality knowledge, tools and services. The holy grail is money makes money. Capital to invest in services, tools, knowledge: $100s - decades to learn $1,000s - years to learn $10,000s - months to learn...

It's not complicated. A normal distribution is summary(-4) detail(0) conclusion(4), a few start from the summary working forwards (the smartest), a few start from the conclusion working backwards (the most difficult), and most start from the detail trying to understand the summary and conclusion...

Do you actually understand how a normal distribution works. You can use skill to position yourself to make use of luck and generate 20%/mth. You can also use luck to put on a trade, most traders, and use skill to unwind it up to 2%/mth, most don't. The markets don't give a damn what anyone...

Impressive, your powers of the forer effect must be legendary.

Received the call via via, associate for a group of funds (HFT, Capital, Fund of Fund) and their relevant tech companies. These are the same people who called the Trump trade, Brexit trade, GBPUSD towards parity (back in 2013). Looking at the strategy paper for the trade now, first tranche is...

Global warming/cooling is a natural phenomenon that cycles every 400yrs, now the chemicals pumped in to the atmosphere, that's another matter.

Well you haven't provided much information, however, there was a story that a fund manager went to visit a company. The CEO took out a piece of very expensive letterhead paper, made some diagrams, and threw it in the bin. The fund manager went to another company where the CEO took some scrap...

IB have nice marketing and fine if within the normal distribution, but they are unreliable in extreme events, and that is where the money is made. So went with a different broker, turns out that was the smart choice, prevention is the best cure.

Because you have to try every combination of everything until something sticks, then it will only stick for a short time and you have to revise it, usually confusing yourself in the process. Do that long enough and enough times and something tangible will come out of it, most never get there...

You must be joking, quite the opposite, 95% fluff, 4% partial, 1% knowledgeable, the 95% write endless amounts of garbage to drown out anything tangible. Welcome to the world of trading and public forums. On that happy note, Elliot Wave has it's uses on medium to longer term timeframes at...

It's regarding transparency, whether the issue is tracked with that specific broker.

Thanks for that, it's what I thought so presume your company does. I am trying to gauge which brokers do this and which brokers are phone only, something interesting happened this week. Also trying to document the clearing chain as it's starting to be become more opaque. Have been informed that...

Thanks for the reply, not quite what I meant. If you have an active trade anomaly and go to your broker, is the discussion logged via tickets or do you discuss it over the phone.
