Hi Since this subject has certainly been covered, maybe someone has some links to threads or whatever. I'm NOT really interested in the best time interval to use for a moving average. I'm looking for what the best moving average actually is. I guess it should be very smooth (to...

You said: Giving money away makes me happy... Without becoming too preachy, this is in the Bible. You seem to have confimed it in your own life independently. "In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord...

HolyGrail said: It is the drive to succeed that pays off. Perfection is a sickness. When one drives for perfection one loses sight of his goals. The goal becomes perfection instead of success. Perfection does not guarantee success. _____________________________________________ To travel...

Have a little time here so I'll add a little, nothing exceptionally new though. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Too Perfect: When Being in Control Gets out of Control In TOO PERFECT, Dr. Allan Mallinger draws on twenty years of research and...

When dealing with psychological matters it's always best to get to the center of what's going on within your own mind. I think some of that was covered here. This thread made me think of this video. The doctor doesn't seem to understand the importance of discussing matters fully to...

There is no way to determine what is needed to trade with 100% certainty of a profitable outcome. There is no way to to be *sure*. I see what you're saying here. -Stephen

It makes him successful, but not the best. Improvement indicates a less than perfect method/system. Perfectionism is not rational so one has to get to the core of why the trader is obsessed with being perfect. I don't even think being the very best trader would be acceptable to a...

Yes, I think I know where you're coming from in this. One should not have an attitude of "I MUST make money today." I think a lot of this perfectionism stuff goes back to school. 12 x 12 only had one answer. If you wrote down a different one you lost points (i.e. on the test). At...

__________________________________________________ I don't know who said it first, but the quote: "The only thing worse than being wrong is staying wrong." ...may be a better quote for the poster. A winning trader cares primarily about making money. Holding on to a losing trade...

What can a losing trader do to transform himself into a winning trader? A losing trader can do little to transform himself into a winning trader. A losing trader is not going to want to transform himself. That's the kind of thing winning traders do. -Ed Seykota (Markets...

Thanks. That is something to remember. What I'm thinking about is 3 month CDs. This bank has them. That way there is no reasonable possibility of any financial loss. To me, and those going to meet with the financial planners, the main thing is NOT to increase the amount in the...

Thanks. A meeting will be occuring shortly with the financial people there (2 guys apparently). No one has yet said that the money can be put wherever we want as yet however. -Stephen

A bank will soon be appointed as a trustee of a trust (in real life). (General links below. Massachusetts) http://www.legacy-banks.com/investment/planning.html http://www.legacy-banks.com/about/index.html Does anyone know if they can be forced to just put the funds of the...

"No, you are not stupid. You just have to keep at it." ======================================= From Market Wizards (Michael Marcus): DID YOU EVER THINK OF JUST GIVING UP ON TRADING? I would sometimes think that maybe I ought to stop trading because it was very painful to keep...

giles117 ( or anyone) I've checked out Ninja Trader a little and seen some of their webinars. Is it common for most future's trading software to be set up the NT way, that is setting up/placing orders directly on the DOM. This makes a lot of sense to me. Chart on the...

nugundam (We're way off topic now. Not sure about how strict the moderators are here.) Just found this: Probability theory is the branch of mathematics concerned with analysis of random phenomena...The mathematical theory of probability has its roots in attempts to analyse games...

It's prudent in my opinion to plan on a market crash in the next sesssion. (And the next and the next, etc.) I don't expect that, it's just good to have a plan for it. A market crash could have easily occured on 9-11 had the attacks occured during the middle of the day, and only at...

When the word panic comes up, the words circuit breaker, comes up. Included are some links. Like the chart I just posted, they are for entertainment purposes only. {An attack during market hours could cause a crash in the Dow (S&P, etc.). One has to be aware that the long term...
