    Trend Following dying?

    From page 9: Limited expectancy With respect to long term trend following, short selling offers a severely limited mathematical expectancy. The price of a stock can only decline by a maximum of 100%. However, it can rise by an infinite amount. This is a significant disability to overcome...

    Online Trading Academy

    I took a "mandatory" course with them way back when it was required in order to trade in the Irvine office they shared with Momentum. This was when having T-1 lines for data actually meant something. I think the weeklong course was $3,000, but there was an introductory course also required in...

    Kiplinger Busts Hotel Seminar Trading Riches: OnlineTradingAcademy, BetterTrades, etc

    Not to be an asshole, but what's so good about those three? And what are the many other excellent sources? Looks to me they all perpetuate the betting and predicting model and speak using the same language of "setups," "stop loss," "r/r ratios," "discipline," "money management", etc., that...

    How to change mindset to let profits run?

    The wash drill - focus your mind on breaking even on every trade especially on the "winners." Give up on trying to wash a "winning" trade and just exit if you haven't washed it by end of day. Entries that don't go in your favor right away are washed immediately. There are a lot more details that...

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    There's no humor in the offer itself, but for an $80 card I thought it was an unusual offer to waste time with packing, shipping, payment, etc. - time that could be better spent posting on ET maybe. 10 computers??? To each his own, but you spoke like you picked up a couple more computers just...

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    Hey gnome, just gotta poke you in the ribs for this: You spend money for 2 more computers because you "liked [yours] so much" while wondering why people don't follow your great advice to save money on a computer purchase and then you PM me about selling me your nvs 290 cards for "less than...

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    [ I was being facetious. Maybe it was a poor attempt. Thanks for the links in any case. The T3400 with the 250GB harddrive, 2GB RAM, pro support and power backup priced out at $1356.40 before tax. At the time I was deciding, the price gap between the T3400 and T5400 with similar...

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    So why the hell didn't you speak up on this thread sooner? I could have spent the difference on booze and women.

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    Thanks to everyone, especially gnome, for the helpful comments. I decided on the T5400 when the Dell rep knocked the difference down a bit. Unfortunately I didn't ask about the CRT adapters for the video cards. Also I'm not sure if this machine is equipped with a sound card. Obviously it would...

    Dell Precision T3400 or T5400?

    I'm seeking input from the hardware buffs here regarding the T3400 versus the T5400 as a replacement for my primary trading box which has served me flawlessly for 7+ years. Recently my CPU has hit 100% usage a few times during the trading day, slowing things down noticeably. Price is no object...

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT system works just fine.

    30m is good too. I have both up at all times. Nothing special about the 15m...just wanted to draw your attention to the topography. You nailed the first move of the day, though. But that was too easy so I'm not impressed. :p All the best.

    Why the controversy? Jack Hershey SCT system works just fine.

    Execution, execution, execution. You know the drill. Put up a 15m and see if you would have concluded what you did for each of your posts. Day's final sequence: fbp-->bo (p1)-->not even a hitch-->p2 (peak volume)...You're set up for tomorrow's open already. On my preflight CL, I note...
