It's ok, I think we can still keep the main theme of the thread. Maybe you could use this image of a macaque (I think it is), they are closer to baboons: Unfortunately not as funny as the original pic though. It's just that I saw in Planet of the Apes that the great apes got all pissed...

Sorry, but I believe the picture of the smoking subject above is an orangutan, not a baboon. Reasons: - orange hair - long fingers (baboons have stubbier fingers that are a compromise of running on all fours against picking seeds and grooming other baboons) - baboons have a long snout -...

I've only just looked through it a couple seconds, very interesting this line: "... the fraction of winning trades is in fact a measure of the ratio of the holding periods of winning trades to that of losing trades: ..." In my own research, I've found a way of estimating the win ratio with...

How about black, red and brown rice? Not the "Uncle Ben's" in a box but the 10 lb bags imported from SE Asia? Do they qualify as minimally processed, or are they still "bad" since they are carbohydrates?

Do you mean Otzi the Ice Man, the Stone Age man found in the Alps? I watched this one a couple weeks ago, very interesting: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/iceman-murder-mystery.html But it was more about examining his body to figure out the murder mystery, I don't recall them...

Thank you dtrader98, that sounds like a more sensible and productive approach than my guess. Also that answers a second question I've been trying to figure out, which is how to smooth out the histogram -- I think binning would do that.

here is screenshot:

Here's a screenshot when I plot out some trades from a strategy. With no stop or limit, it looks like some kind of bell curve. When I add a stop, it has a tall count at the stop, and the rest looks like some kind of bell curve. For the probability density function, I suppose the no-stop case...

I hope every applicant gives a standard response and cites Facebook's terms: http://www.facebook.com/legal/terms?ref=pf Specifically, refer to: "3. Safety sub 5. You will not solicit login information or access an account belonging to someone else." If you are asked this in an...

Sorry about that -- I may have overextrapolated that the average boredom of everybody would suggest my own level of boredom. Thank you for the suggestions to alleviate boredom during the trading day. Thank you for the examples, but the past few show very few bars, they're kind of hard to figure...

Of all the emotions that drive humanity, I think boredom is the biggest driver, and unfortunately never gets any credit. I think I could really use your Boredometer Indicator -- it would help me figure out when I'm not entering a trade from a plan setup but out of boredom.

It would be a sad article if they added some kind of ratio like "useful stuff to complete bs", which would be 10^-veryBigNumber ... or wait, they did note some stats as facebook and blog posts .... But that sounds cynical, on the positive side, I think it's great that for anything you might...

course on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=448487A4D794A489 I haven't watched it.

Here's an open-source one, they say you can get the designs for free and build it yourself: http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap Then, the design is such that one of the machines can make all the parts for another one -- it can replicate itself, so you can make one for you friend. Here's more on...

If they buy the house, do they get the land the house is on too? Maybe what they are looking for, is instead of $5000 each for 50 houses, they are actually after the 50 lots. Remove the house (I don't know how much that would be), then one has 50 lots at a cost of (cheap house) + (house...

I wouldn't get a Mac. I used several at work (different machines and OS versions), and the mouse acceleration was not good for me. If you move the mouse fast, the cursor travels very far across the screen. If you move the mouse slowly, the cursor moves a very small amount, disproportionately...

I saw that movie -- "Idiotocracy". They get some guy of average height, weight, IQ, career, age, hair color, personality traits, pets, hobbies, etc, and choose him to be the volunteer for an experiment to send him into the future. By then, the average IQ has sunk from today's 100 to today's 50...

I repeat this to calm the nerves: "well, I've seen weirder things happen." This helps calm me down and wait to see what it actually does, not pre-emptively act based on what I think will happen.

I noticed the missing label too, so that's what happened to it ... Delivery issues is a bit of a relief for me actually, the alternative guess was my neighbor was stealing, glad to hear that is probably not the case. Maybe the print format loses money for them, I'm sure having subscribers log...

I get the print edition because I like to read it to get away from the computer. But, I haven't found it in the morning the last 2 weeks. They have a really good system to log on to the website and mark missed deliveries. Mostly I like Alan Abelson, not great info but always fun to read.
