    Don Miller's trading set-up

    Here are two links showing Don Miller's trading workstation. While I would recommend moving his computers off the floor and getting a better chair (no wonder he was complaining about back pain), it shows that you don't need a fancy set-up to make money in the market...

    WSJ: The Tax That Won't Die

    All Americans are double taxed. You pay sales tax with after tax income. Thats double taxation. If we are going to eliminate double taxation, lets start by eliminating the sales tax - something that would benefit everyone, not just a tiny segment of unearned multimillionaires in waiting.

    What happens to my paycheck if hyperinflation occurs?

    Cost of living raise. Its not a big deal, I went through it in the late 1970's. The main people who get hurt are those who own bonds.

    The Perpetuated Fraud of Candle Charting

    I use candles because they are easier to look at. Long wicks can tell you were some S/R is, but thats about it (for me). Never really tried to use the patterns.

    India to Chinese investors: No more visas, hire Indians

    China only lend us money in proportion to our annual trade deficit. If we have no trade deficit with them, they won't lend us money. The reason we need to borrow money is to take care of the displaced & unemployed workers. If these people were employed by the private sector in the US, which...

    Sir James Goldsmith was right about Free Trade and Derivatives

    Great video. It was like watching Peter Schiff predict the recent crash. Basically everything is coming true except the widespread displacement in the rural developing world due to a lowering of agriculture tariffs. This didn't happen because they were not stupid like we were and they balked...

    Don Miller is really a woman, who dresses like a man, but does not get the male look quite right. If you know what I mean.

    Successful traders keep silent because trading is so simple...

    1.) Yes, discretionary traders must use simple methods because you cannot trade if you have analysis paralysis. In trading you are like an athlete, you need to see and act. 2.) There are no secrets, everything leaks out. One method may have a great edge for three months or a year, but...

    Don Miller 2.

    I understand that his real name is not Don Miller, it is Igor Chekhov. He is a high school drop out who used to be a fisherman until the fishing quotas were cut. It is rumored that he earned his trading seed money working as a highly paid gigolo in Manhattan.

    Does anyone use IB's Charts?

    IB could add value with a good integrated charting/trading system. OEC has done a lot in this area (too bad their system uptime is not as reliable). IB should be ashamed to charge for their lousy charts (even though free if you do a certain amount of trades). If you go on vacation for a...

    By automated, I meant no trader involved. Of course there are semi-discretionary traders who take signals from a system and execute them.

    The sad truth about trading is

    And, automated trading is a different animal. Here, the intelligence (skill) required is mostly logical-mathematical. That is why the hedge funds hire physicists and mathematicians. Floor trading requires bodily-kinesthetic, logical-mathematical and interpersonal intelligence. In the pit...

    Howard Gardner wrote a book in which he listed seven kinds of intelligence in humans: 1.) Verbal-linguistic - writers, journalists 2.) Logical-mathematical - mathematicians, engineers 3.) Visual-spatial - architects, artists 4.) Musical 5.) Intrapersonal - philosophers, psychologists...
