    Anyone actually trade mechanically?

    Ok, this is very disturbing. Every strategy I've been working with thus far has been enter/exit on open next bar. Exactly how bad is this strategy? Could someone please chime in and say it's not that bad... btw, I've been testing mostly 2min bars

    Gambler's fallacy vs. Theory of Probablity

    Ok, not to split hairs, but how can we ensure that we are truly being random when flipping a coin in real life? People tend to put the same amount of force into the flip, put their arms and hands into the same position when they flip, etc. Wouldn't these factors increase the odds of...

    So you think President Bush is a warmongering imperialist bully?

    The author brings up a good point-- that if America is attacked on a wide scale with WMD's, we may engauge in previously unimagined behavior. I was thinking about this the other day, and it's not pretty. I'm not even talking so much about the government as I am American people. I would hate...

    What College courses to Take?

    I am a former psychology major and can attest that undergrad psychology classes are USELESS. Maybe it was just my school or the classes I took, but I found the classes void of any practical application. Instead of understanding myself better, I learned how to be culturally sensitive and...

    Universities financial trading centers

    I am talking about trading centers also. Most of these trading centers are used to run a student-run fund of some kind, using capital from donors. Although I'm sure they use the trading center for other purposes as well. And then there's little student investment clubs, which in some cases may...

    Using Margin for More Positions

    I've found dividing the capital into 10th's makes for a volatility and return level I'm most comfortable with. Deciding on it was very unscientific, I just experiemented, but I did make sure the risk to my total account stayed small. As far as concentrating more money into fewer 'high...
