    Great game today hitman. After three losses in a row you played it cool and conservatively and stopped the bleeding. Tomorrow should be fun. Good Luck.

    Important

    I'm sorry to waste space but I think it is important for all serious members to be aware of the "ignore function." I have just discovered it and I have a big smile on my face even though the dow broke its 200 week MA. Thank you very much for adding this function as it will enable this...

But with human behavior and countless variables and decisions involved in trading, the probability of...

    Will I be better off in the long term applying the 'messenger filter' rather than listening to every Tom, Dick and TraderRX that comes along? -- to most of us the answer to that one is obvious. LOL...that is classic.

    Gambler's fallacy vs. Theory of Probablity

    Excellent thread....I am very interested in statistics. (Funny how I hated it and paid no attention in college) Does anyone here use statistics to place trades?

    "The ticker has a habit of becoming incoherent at the most critical points. Curse it as we may, it will resume printing intelligibly when the trouble is overcome not before. As the loss of even a few inches of quotations may be important, a stop should be placed at once and left in until the...

    Hitman...it is truly a great sign that a frustrating day for you is still a positive one. August is all about survival. I was frustrated as well last week when AT went down at 9:35. It cost me my first losing day in 2 weeks as I got squeezed while the system was down. Shit happens in this game...
