    Frustrating Day

    Have the answer for you, always good to receive bulletins at the weekend. Last week showed the start of 'perfection', if you do not do everything perfectly you will have to fight like there's no tomorrow to stay neutral. Even if you do everything absolutely perfectly it may still implode, an...

    How do very high net worth accounts trade?

    Bloody hell, I hope people don't trade like that. It's always about preservation of time and capital, even if you don't have any. Once you're neutral, ie. preservation, you can expend energy on growth. It's the fundamental reason everyone fails to generate capital and promptly loses whatever...

    Should people cheer a potential collapse in US stock market valuations?

    Mathematics is all very nice but there's the contextual reality to deal with that breaks all the models. What happens if the downturn lasts decades and stays flat for a lot longer.

    Statistical Outliers

    The outliers are 3/4 sigma events on the normal distribution, these days everything is perfected close to +/-0, the issue is that are always leaks. You want to plug the leaks around the perfection to make sure that nothing seeps through causing a chain reaction. Well if the institutions can't...

    Human traders can beat algorithms by relying on gut feeling, study shows

    Interesting, so the belief is that performing continued analysis and using mental capital to time reversals is free, but see see who liked the reply so enough said.

    How do very high net worth accounts trade?

    These replies are funny, apparently am one of the few who's been around that type of net worth professionally and privately, it goes in a logarithmic curve. The higher the net worth the less percentage gains you need to live life, but it can be a hobby. The less you work the more you earn, it's...

    Trading futures on windows phone

    You don't, you need to get yourself an iPhone or Android. Next, you only use it to monitor and execute a pre-planned close or exit, and rarely a pre-planned entry but that is very risky, anything else and you are the morsel for the day.

    That depends if the NFP comes out negative.

    Frustrating Day

    What the hell was that, I have quotes showing 1.1739 and 900pips in 90seconds, I said wild but that's ridiculous ... You should have seen the Bloomberg Asia anchors, they did a double take seeing the quotes and didn't quite know what to do with themselves, and then carried on as if nothing...

    Frustrating Day

    Yep, looks like everyone is capitulating, should be a wild few days ahead.

    The EPIC sharing thread: What are you willing to share?

    Nice try, like I didn't already know, the wonders of the indirect. Here's something to share, how does someone unwind a negative double-bind, by double-binding back with a cherry on top or walk-away to neutralise.

    Human traders can beat algorithms by relying on gut feeling, study shows

    Actually it's about working out when the delusional people and their followers using marginal gains capitulate as there's no new money to feed the pyramid, and you help relieve them of their capital as they cannot blame anyone but themselves having gone through due diligence to post their...

    Except you still have to spend time going through it to ignore it otherwise you miss the small piece of information drowned out in the noise that's actually beneficial, but that's just life.

    The EPIC sharing thread: What are you willing to share?

    And as I said "someone actually asks an intelligent question" so they instead ask indirect questions to elicit the information. But there's the good old fashioned saying, you don't ask you don't get, and the reason people don't ask. Because they don't want to look stupid in case the answer is...

    The EPIC sharing thread: What are you willing to share?

    There are so many combinations of everything it really doesn't matter what people share, it's so embedded in their view of how it works it's more or less meaningless to other people. If you take those morsels over a decade or two you might some up with something tangible, but that's a big might...

    No issues, just the noise it getting louder so would be nice to find somewhere a little quieter to have discussions.

    Live futures trading room - view of order entry

    You were asking people for their opinion on lot size earlier, the idea of providing a service is just ridiculous. The delay puts it in la la land. Never agreed with this, if you're watching a trader or using eToro or Ayondo, they are advisers. Since advisers come under the regulations it comes...

    Obviously Obamacare has done some serious damage to the healthcare system.

    Human traders can beat algorithms by relying on gut feeling, study shows

    That's because the fastest computers can only process 0.0004% of contextual information compared to the human brain, although given some of the posts on the forums these days you could argue that's the wrong way around. Who the hell commissions these studies anyway, there's way to much money...
