I didn't see much movement here... will interpret that as a good sign.

This is a strange one because of the green color that appears...

Agree with those who have mentioned that it is an edge to have developed a method with positive expectancy in backtesting. I repeatedly backtest new TA-based ideas in ways that sound something like the following: “If the current candlestick has this particular structure, and my chart...

On the first linked page, click the right arrow to see the Day 1 conference video page link (circled below). Then select this page and "Show more" and finally click on the blue time link at 6:16:00 for McMillan and that will get one directly to his talk.

Speakers on day 1:

I recently received a link to a big trading conference that took place this month. I have never watched one of these before, but noticed some famous names among the presenters and decided to take a look. It was surprisingly interesting. There are videos for Days 1 through 6 of the conference...

WTH... I had no idea that "Zero Shadow Day" was a real thing. Not an illusion... Explained here:

You may be right, though it seems like recognition of patterns and calculation of probabilities have some commonalities in poker and trading, and perhaps a bit in chess too. Even GMs calculate only so far ahead in chess middle games and have to make probabilistic decisions at several points in...

My sense of the scale of sizes of the biggest things out there was just an illusion.

Well done...

I just re-read the thread called "What would you say belongs in a solid trading plan?" and was struck by how much good information is there. Many regular ET posters contributed a lot of good advice and several useful links. Not sure what our process is for selecting threads to be in the Hall...

Very interesting... didn't know that about Hikaru. Magnus Carlsen has been seen playing poker a lot recently. I'm not surprised that extraordinary chess players like these guys would be drawn to probability-based competitions like poker and trading.

The match is on game 9 of 14 total and Nepo is ahead 5 to 4. It has had a remarkable number of decisive games (very few draws). In case anyone is interested, a few chess personalities are providing video summaries of each game. The most detailed analyses I have seen are on the C-squared...

Hmmm... the bars do appear to be black and white when I zoom in closely, but they look red and white when zoomed out.

I live in the southwest US and HE charts are available today.

The first game between Ian Nepomniachtchi and Ding Liren was today. It was a pretty good battle that ended in a draw. The games can be watched live or delayed at the Chess.com YouTube website, with Daniel Naroditsky and Anish Giri commentating, or at the FIDE World Championship site with...

Another one that didn't seem to disconcert the cats too much...

Cats are fooled by the same perceptual illusions that we are:

Update: the video of the moon in post #17 was beautiful but Snopes says not real... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/giant-moon-blocking-sun-arctic/#:~:text=A video showing a gigantic moon rolling across,at an unnaturally fast speed across the sky.
