Yes, I treat trading the same way I did Computer Science when I was an IT professional - A never ending study. Yes I did write short text books in computer science. And, yes my trading systems have their own detailed documentation. The answer to Q1 is simple and yet very complex. The simple...

I'm an American. I am not in Denial. I have understood for years what has been going on. But when I said anything years ago no one listened.

You are right many of these people are living in card board boxes. They are packing into tent cites as foreclosures escalate. Here are just a few of the many articles main stream Americans ignore as they flood their local malls to buy, buy, buy for Christmas...

IMHO this looked like a Slim Jim pattern or narrow-range, intraday consolidation pattern that forms at or near the high or low of the day. Generally, the longer and tighter the consolidation in prices, the more explosive the eventual breakout. This pattern was developed by Kevin Haggerty who ran...

Some of these stats came from brokers and the exchanges during the last century. Many of these stats where defined in testimony or papers used in government hearings. Twenty years ago or so, when I was trading commodities at Lind-Waldock they published an internal study about losses. They...

As an automated stock trader I agree with your assessment about noise and volatility. My time frames are 130-minutes and Daily.

Yes, that is the same way I see it.

The article said the UAE would back the “in-country” banks foreign and domestic that have branches in Dubai from all of this bad debt of Dubai World. However, there are some “out-of-country” banks with no branches in Dubai that have still not been addressed even though they do not have...

When the news comes out on some future day that companies are hiring for real again, the fear of job loss will be over. Then consumers who are now savers will open their wallets and markets will act normal. Otherwise it can be taken negatively.

Between 7 and 9 percent.

Flatron, I started programming as a professional in 1973 and have been writing my own trading strategy systems for about 12 years (retired to trade full time for the last 4 years). IMHO I find the answers to your question “how much live trading is relevant?” to be way off the mark of the...

These market gurus are all the same. I have seen hundreds in my trading years. They all do the same. They make prediction after prediction, most of which fail badly. Then when one of the many hits dead on they shove the rancid set of bad predictions away and tout the one prediction that hit dead...

You are absolutely correct about BO. Making these stupid comments while planning to approve a new health plan costing trillions. It only means one thing. Taxing our asses to death to balance his budget.

I agree. It works just as well for Oldbies.

Yes, they are both in the "bush leagues" when it comes to big money center institutions.

Better look again at the cost: "...This type of course is typically sold for $1000 to $2000 by other educators but we want this to be affordable to as many people as possible. We normally sell this at $745 but for a very limited time, we are offering this package for $497..." Mitch King...

Jif, RedNeck Trader is one of the most highly respected traders on ET. He has always given back 10 times what he received from other traders. He responded to you in a polite manor and gave you every chance to keep the conversation going on a technical basis without groveling to your lower...

In the ideal environment MS would only build the Operating System and publish a uniform security requirement to all third party developers. This way security would be unbiased and easy to administer. But, that is not how it works today. Microsoft (MS) has their heads up their asses on security...

My experience is the same as yours. I have not been able to get a single scan to work with any of my indicators. I’m guessing, but may be scanner does not work with indicators that reference functions. All my indicators use functions.

I was in IT 35 years before trading full time. I saw your case over and over. You obviously have talent. No one pays 200K a year unless they intend to pick your talent clean. You will be expected to reveal what you know and will be under a great deal of pressure to deliver. It makes no...
