    Value of Backtesting and Stops

    It is no suprise that 95% of the traders eventually blow up if I see the responses in this thread. There is no substitue to understanding the markets and adjusting your play as the market unfolds. I have said it before and am saying it again: backtesting is based on the wrong premises. Yes...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Does this mean that you admit that you are wrong? If not, then you have already aquired their mental illogic. In which latter case I will say that you are lacking the required objective analytical skills to be a long term succesful trader and I then thank you for contributing to my...

    hezbollah destroying idf 24 dead today

    ROFL They have not much so show for so they will blow everything out of proportion just to try to make an impression on their supporters. If we may believe the news then Southern Lebanon is being turned into a wasteland. Israel has been dropping leaflets to tell the local population to...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    I am glad that you recognise that you may not be safe afterwards, this is the same thinking that saw the Spanish population vote the existing government out of office. Which means that you are giving in to these terrorists and that they have already morally conquered you! By your own...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Perhaps more results can be obtained by (instead of just dropping bombs) first dropping pigs and then afterwards dropping the bombs. Then none of the victims would go to heaven. (PS Where is the pig futures market? Need to go long now on pigs. :) :) :) ) Holmes

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    There is the story of the turtle and the hare. Didn't you make initially a shitload and then blew it all? How long ago did you start? So where do you count you have "made it"? PS. Don't forget you are only as good as your next trade. Candletrader: If you have fear then you have no trust...

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    Q: What is discretionary trading? A: Discretionary trading is where the trader makes the buy or sell decisions. In this (s)he may be aided by whatever tools the person finds appropriate. If the "system" gives the buy/sell signals then the trader merely becomes the executioner. The...

    Trading is for dumb people

    I used to think that 100 million monkeys on 100 million keyboards could eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare but now thanks to the internet and reading the goblydegook posted by Grob I know this not to be true In particular since you make assumptions that ain't...

    Israel to vote, Lebanon accepts cease-fire; Hezbollah says it will

    You mean: flattening and putting the country back to the timeframe in which the mindset of the population is (in this case: middle ages) It is the same as a child: you can give it a gun but that does not mean it is responsible with handling it. This is why a child should not have a gun...

    Trading is for dumb people

    I used to think that 100 million monkeys on 100 million keyboards could eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare but now thanks to the internet and seeing posts of trading to be easy I know this not to be true Pushing a buy or sell button is easy, no doubt about that...

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    Yep. Have got quite a list of moonbats whose stuff I skip. Gets pretty peaceful for the old bloodpressure. Holmes. I used to think that 100 million monkeys on 100 million keyboards could eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare but now thanks to the internet and...

    crybaby israel tells un to screw off

    That was the approach with some people in the past in the Philippines: they would be executed with bullets dipped in pig's fat. In such case they would not go to heaven with the 72 virgins. Stopped it very quickly. Holmes

    Middle East Meltdown and US Foreign Policy.

    What do you expect, no suprises there. The Vatican was in cahoots with Hitler and isn't the pope a German? :eek: Holmes

    crybaby israel tells un to screw off

    Because then once Israel is gone they are going to start on the US and wipe the US off the map. Remember Sept 11?

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    There is some timelimit involved here - if you make too many hardware changes let's say inside 6 months then you'll have to reactivate. If you know you are going to do this then it may be a good idea to start off with a clock a year or so set back and only bring it up to date when you get...

    Israel kick the sh-t out of these cowards and do us all a favor! !

    Yep, it is always someone else's problem and we do not want to get involved because we may be getting some whiplash from that. (in this case - the Arab world may cut us off from the oil and we like to drive around in our big, poluting, gas guzzling SUV) (Too afraid of upsetting the Musilims...

    Trapped in a Hall of Mirrors?

    1 & 2 are just different sides of the same coin. The Aug 10 events in the UK proves that the security risks are there. How the leaders are trying to convince the public to take this serious is another matter. We need only to look at the responses of the apologists and sympathisers on this...

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    if you use Acronis from inside XP then eventually you'll get registry problems. If you on the other hand boot and then press F11 to get to acronis (hidden partition boot) then you will not have this problem. Alternatively use PQDI (Power Quest Disk Imager, now bought up by Norton) Holmes
