The position of the doji doesn't look right. Right at Close of yesterday. I can see up or pullback from here.

Yeah, name calling and ad hominems are very effective ways to argue. Liberals are still much better at it though. Kind of like arguing with a woman. I was just curious what tangible reasons they might come up with for why they say Bush is an imbecile.

What makes you think Bush is an imbecile?

Bush is inevitable.

Without going down that conspiracy path... this is pretty simple: The Boomer generation did everything BIG. Remember them in the 60s, then their yuppie period in the 80s. Maybe they're realizing their own frivolousness and now they want to place their mark on global history... to do what...

Interesting read. Hegelian idea of cycles in history and has been surprisingly accurate in predicting our current state of affairs. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0767900464/qid=1073147326//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i0_xgl14/103-5585298-3040665?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

It's a bad to assume a good trader would only trade and not teach. From what I understand, trading is a lonely profession that gets boring (if you're good). Filling in that time teaching and helping others may be rewarding to some.. or maybe they enjoy the recognition of their trading...

That's interesting about Dell. I'm currently working a contract for a major multinational company. Helping them shut down the IT, customer service, and admin departments of a recent acquisition. About 400 people will be out of work soon. All IT except Level 1 and 2 support is going to...

What did you have in mind harry? I think randomness doesn't exist in reality. It's a theoretical concept. But for practical purposes all things have an element of randomness. Randomness being "outcomes that we cannot predict with enough certainty to be meaningful".

The former... When we can't understand the pattern we often conclude that it's random. But that's just a cop out. Similar to chaos theory: it's just a way of predicting outcomes that are driven by forces we don't understand or can't quantify. But, many say that without randomness, the...

Something is either random or it's not. There is no such thing as partially random. If you can apply a structure that shows something to be random, it indicates it is not random. Random is a theoretical concept and cannot be expressed in the real world. A process or structure can be...

Ok.. so it's decided... If you have a PHD with tons of experience and superior quant skills, you can find a job. But everyone doesn't have 140+ IQs. The problem isn't finding jobs for the niche, highly skilled positions, the problem is providing work for middle class America. They are the...

Yes, my aim for an office would be 20% trading/80% social. It's a new country, new culture, different rules. As an army brat, other brats introduced you to the local culture. I guess I'm looking for like-minded people. Western traders with the mind to move to Thailand to trade are my...

I live in the US, but am considering moving there to trade. I figure $25K converts to 1 million baht and the cost of living estimates I've seen equates this to about $100,000 in the US. Enough to live on for a couple of years while you perfect your craft. Plus.. beaches.. asian women.. and...

One moment from my days trading the NYSE comes to mind (of many).... can't remember the symbol... but it's printing at xx.60 for 3 minutes with a bid at .58. Unsure about market direction and to see how he handles my order, I send a market order to sell my 400 shares (expecting .59 or maybe...

Over the past 50 years we have enjoyed a worldwide lock on capitalism/free market and we profited very well from that competitive advantage. But that lock has expired. The secret is out. The question is... What advantage do we provide TODAY that will allow us to continue our standard of...

Ok.. I'll probably get a lot of crap... but I'll point out the only logical conclusion to all of this: This country cannot turn on a dime. A few people on this thread are smart enough and forward thinking enough to adapt... But many of the jobs being lost are held by people in their 30s...

You're dead right maxpi, their message is "Don't exist" and it's driven by subconscious guilt. The environuts do not understand logic. They are controlled by their feelings and have no clue why they believe as they do. They do not possess a Thinking, rational side to understand the logical...

Are you profitable in simulation? If not, do that for at least a month before attempting real money. I did the same as you 2 years ago and broke even (prop trading NYSE). The pressure of making money was too great and my emotions got involved. If you can't stop, sit down and patiently and...

AutoTrader supposedly replays data for simulation. And it's free. http://www.sling.to/autotrader/
