nitro, I am wondering myself. It actually takes quite a bit of study to compare the merits of the different firewalls. Looking at the Sonicwall, I think that for its price tag of about $400 it really does not offer any significant features over a $100 Netgear or so. Am I overlooking...

This is a typical example of "scientism". Terms like waves, electric magnetic, energy abound in all kind of pseudo scientific publications to amuse or fool the credoulous and scientifically untrained. Throwing in some sex makes it even more convincing. Coming back to the above quote, open any...

Maybe, maybe not. How can you say this if you cannot stick a numerical figure, good or bad, on his expectation of profit? nononsense

If you are interested in Linux, you can download Kylix3 for free from Borland. This is a "Visual" (1) C++ and (2) Delphi development system. Very nice! You probably would never want or need C# in Linux anyway. nononsense

#1 may help; #2 could as well study astrology; #3 you should have gotten the "discipline" required in #1. nononsense

Quote from nitro: [...] The basis of this thread lies in the most basic of mathematics, and the fact that people are arguing it's validity shows a real lack of understanding of basic probability theory. nitro nitro, I like to hear you say this. Quote from nitro: If your...

Hi, Netgear seems to have a new wireless firewall router running at 108Mbps: WGT624. This unit seems to be very much like the WGR614, except for its double speed. Anyone experience with this one? nononsense

Hi, Did any of you backtesters keep a full record of the ES and/or NQ datastream as recorded from the TWS-API? I am interested in data for 2003 (near contracts). (No CME tick data, I have those). I have complete records for ESTX50 and DAX futures. If interested, please PM me. Be...

This is probably a very wise attitude. Wether you can have a positive expectation or not using random entry depends on your strategy. Damir is not telling us about his strategy. This is very understandable, not many people post much on the nitty gritty of their strategy. The term "high...

The following was put on ET by "scientist". "I've actually got some good relations to the moderators, and I get them to delete your posts all the time - You didn't notice? " I refuse to have any further dealings with such a character. nononsense As a further footnote, "scientist"...

Don't forget to turn it one when you start trading. You need it.

You big fool, learn how to read first before BS'ing around here. Go get some more lessons at bubba's. Be good, nononsense

Dear Harrytrader, It is good you state this once again. A lot of confusion results in some threads from people acting smart while not really knowing what they are talking about. Be good, nononsense P.S. You have very neat looking graphs!

Dear bdixon, You gave away the big secret. Let me restate it my way: "If you're still optimizing, you're not there yet." Be good, nononsense

Hi, In the folklore of "Wall Street" there used to be a saying like: "Something that's known to everybody ain't worth anything". Software for sale to "everybody", even when humming on 3+GigaHertz boxes, might still fall under this "Wall Street wisecrack". In some cases it even might...

TriPack, You are very right in the above statement. However, once you entered the market, you do not remain passive. It seems to me that you excluded this possibility of interaction through decision once you entered. In most cases a strategy using very short timeframes will interact much...

Illiquid, I have heard this said before. This belief is obviously held by the backtesters. What do you think about this guys? nononsense

I allow for "every indicator or analysis technique" not to work for certain persons. That is why we talk about heuristics. Others pointed this out as well in this thread. You don't have to call this BS. What are you using WDGann? You didn't tell us. A rabbit's foot? Astrology? You are...

PuffyGums, Your picture clearly explains where you are getting at. Nicely done! nononsense

Let me give my view on this question. Going back to another thread, a lot has been written and argued about "prediction" and "anticipation". In truth, we are dealing here with the same kind of problem. Nobody will probably find anything wrong with the proposition that both tape-readers and...
