    refinery capacity and oil price

    A lot of these studies are patently false. They fail to factor in the cost of safe disposal/waste management in leiu of recycling. As far as the ethanol debate. It's not a matter of cost efficiency, but a matter of national security. However it seems this energy bill was written my...

    Why Most Retail Active Traders Lose

    If you're familiar with commodities, your Fadebots analogy is similar to the large Commercial operators/Hedgers in the COT report. Some recent studies show that on balance Commericals actually lose $ fading the trend with their historical tendency to sell into the rallies and buy into the...

    Melt Up

    It's difficult to come to terms with the fact that the market can stay irrational longer than we can stay rational. And who says the markets are'nt manipulated?

    Do Trendlines work?

    Thats similar to what I've been doing lately. But I use the fib retracement on 5 day chart from high to low. Looks like a short on any move above 10655 at the open.

    90% traders don't make it???

    Dig through the old posts then dig through the recent posts. Not too many whining in the old posts on how tough it is to make money from trading. These days seems I see a new header detailing how someone plans on quitting trading if xxxxxxxx Could that be a function of there...

    Crime does pay

    More conspiracy BS from worldnetdaily (a rag on par with the alien stories on the National Enquirer) . The Pound was in a decline well before based on weak economic data. Those who were already net short only added to their positions speeding up the down trend.

    Lescor, would it be correct to assume your OO system does better when the indices are making higher highs.

    Trading Technologies awarded patent for DOM

    I'm sure I don't know half as much as you do, but I do notice they're winning only against small companies who can ill afford a long drawn out legal battle. They're trying to set up a legal precendent of wins, then I assume they'll file their next suits in some Louisiana swampland. I hear the...

    Bad trading habits

    Take a weekend. Write up his "system" or whatever signals he's using to enter a trade. Draw up a data collection grid. Get a free replay charting (eg Ensign is 30 days free) package. Test the system on a few days of replay. Then help him analyze the data. For him to realize his mistakes...

    Trading Technologies awarded patent for DOM

    I can understand patenting an algorithm based on a propreitary OS, but this is a bullshit patent. Just like Amazons "one click" nonesense. I was surprised Ebay never attempted to patent their "online flea market" concept after the Amazon patent was approved. It's like some idiot with deep...

    Brain Damage? good article

    Most people fail to make it big at trading because they don't have that emotional detachment where they'd sell their own mothers for a $. I think only Gordon Gekko types without a conscience and an insatiable appetite for money are the ones who make it in a big way in trading.

    YUAN Revaluation = Bullish!!

    I don't have an economics degree, but couple of points come to mind. They consume massive amounts of natural resources, a stronger yuan means cheaper imports for China. How does it help us in the USA? not a whole lot. China does'nt plan on buying much from us. As their domestic market...
