    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I believe that if 23 people are selected randomly the probability of at least 2 sharing a birthday is greater than 0.5, and for 22 people selected randomly the probability is less than 0.5. I did a course in probability as part of my education and recall that problem was set as a task to solve...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    I dislike psychometric tests as I've had to do a few when applying for jobs in the very distant past. On one occasion the HR person gave me instant feedback and stated that according to the test I was "justice orientated", and asked if I agreed. Well, I wasn't interested in playing the game so I...

    Well NY... err ... I mean TE, I thought maybe the boxes were your vision of bars on higher time frames.

    Looks like a 1 minute chart of the EUR/USD, fortunately it is in my 'misc' portfolio. I don't know why the various boxes and trend lines have been drawn though.

    Ah well, a nice 3 day weekend for those of us who, unfortunately, have to work for a living. The public holidays may be a pain for those who trade for a living though. I wonder how macattack is doing now, he seems to have stopped posting.

    Dackster, you are obviously upset about something, and throwing your toys out of the pram doesn't impress adults! Sounds to me that you are in a bad mood and in need of a hug. I was simply inviting you to say something constructive, about what information the chart tells you about the price...

    You sound a bit p***ed off. Since you seem to have a need to express your opinion, please enlighten us with what you see in BOTH charts then.

    I'll have to plead the 5th amendment to that. Also, I'd only be setting myself up to be a target for criticism.

    You've missed the point and you sound like a doom & gloom merchant. I only want to do small trades right now so therefore low commission is essential for that purpose. One UK broker I looked at would have charged $50 (buy+sell) minmum per trade, my own bank the Halifax do CFD trading accounts...

    Before I chose a broker I did read the reviews on the site you mention and so far can't say that I've had any problems. I vaguely recall one reviewer saying that the CMC software caused their PC to freeze every few minutes, but thats not happened to any of my PCs.

    CMC Markets. Account size is currently $1400 its for training purposes, cost $4 (buy+sell) and theres the spread too. So risk per trade is already abut 0.5% before considering a stop loss. When/if I use a much larger account I'll then choose whatever broker is best based on whatever...

    Well I already have a Vauxhall. :D I hope that some day GM = Good Morning, rather than at present when I get up to go to work, and think "s**t not again". I have a CFD account now, with a UK broker at a cost of $4 in total for a trade (buy+sell) and I put £1000 into the account. I've...

    Furthermore that green BOB bounced off the 200 day EMA, maybe The Generals ordered a cavalry charge!

    Thanks TE for the FreeStockCharts info. 1y line chart of DV and 3 months of daily chart. What do I see? I drew a few levels on the 1y chart which then make the daily chart clearer, in terms of daily ranges through and between various levels (or am I imagining that). Theres also a green BOB...

    It would be a good idea for the teacher to find out what the student knows already so that the teacher knows where to begin teaching from. Imagine, not just classroom teaching but a situation where there is possible danger to the teacher or the student, such as a flying instructor and a...

    Saith Afrikaan accint, maybe! I sense that something isn't well (not you Prof) with one of our contributors, I hope he is OK.

    I SEE that UK time is on the chart, thats interesting, but TE uses US spelling of color, very intriguing! If the lines are drawn as the chart unfolds, and then later the price reverses at those levels, then that suggests to me that bigger market players/smart money or whatever you want to...

    I presume that you were paid to be a teacher with some form of contract of employment. Whereas I suspect TE posts here for the fun of it and finds it all very amusing, but with some serious intention. In this life you get what you pay for.
