It's really part of the old classic temperament/personality classification, and a well-known system is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. There is an online temperament sorter, a questionaire, which calculates your type of personality, and even crossover mixes between types. I remember I did one...

DDE offers no guaranteed transmission of all data. At times Excel will be busy and you will miss quotes frequently. A simple example - let Excel autoupdate a graph or do some auto-saving and you include timestamps for received DDE data (via onData event for the worksheet, I guess) and you'll...

Converting into a paysite has it's pros and cons, obviously. A paysite requires more investment to ensure quality of content. My view is that it's better to invest a little in more active administration and comments/warnings from administrators when people get out of line and totally off topic...

That doesn't make it any less significant. I think the seriousness of the situation made it the best example - and one everyone would obviously agree to - thereby showing the fallacy of your first statement. The USSR was using 1/3 of GDP on military spending in it's last years. Of course it...

If you delete your first post - you can delete the thread as well, and then reformulate your poll in a new thread. Seeming as there are no significant other posts by others yet, you still have time. BTW I consider myself very "high strung" when doing tight trades, but very relaxed to life in...

Weren't you born yet when the START-agreements were signed, and Reagan and Gorbachev met on Iceland ? And what "truth" are you talking about - a historic "truth" ? So you are stating obvious untruths, historically wrong, what can we deduct from your statements then ? You need to remember...

Armed conflict does not make for great friendships, and at best makes for an agonzingly ambivalent impression on bystanders. Nice timing on that last note - today several polls were cited in the US media. They showed that world scepticism towards the US has increased in european and arab...

Trading stocks, you can focus on sector and stock specific news quite intimately. You soon get a "feel" for the stock, and get to know those who trade it and how they trade it. Sure, stocks follow the markets too - to a degree. Some days your favourite stocks are up on good news, while the...

Are you calling the foreign legion wussies too ? Perhaps they should just jump off the Haiti shoreline and swim back to France so that the marines can do their work properly ? They have an excellent trackrecord for getting things done right there ... You sure seem to have your flame-proof...

Are the US weapon inspectors leftists ? Actually they have their own spanish-speaking CNN channel, called "CNN+" (part of CNN network). The other CNN networks conveyed reports from CNN+ where voters were saying exactly what you hoped not was the case. Was that just a piece of ignorance from...

And what was the last try on extermination of a religious group called ? And the people who had those ideas are called what ? ;-)

And how do you classify the recent developement of MOAB ? What is the prupose of the developement of such a bomb ? Deterrent - not for use ? "Nice to have" ? What about the me-too's ?

I guess you are unlucky you weren't able to be drafted for service in Vietnam, then - or perhaps Korea ? You probably would have enjoyed yourself winning or perhaps striking out over there. But what do I know; you probably have the silver star, or something, the way you are speaking. Perhaps...

I thought bonds was the largest market ? Does anyone know ? FX has great gearing though (100x); -1% maxed out and ouch. ;-)

Remember we had an even lower dip today for the year. Soon we might see an important 1100-test. Perhaps some news event even can make a 1100-breach a non-event. It's kinda scary. All the bounces I'm seeing are less than convincing, the incremental increases on the SPX are really small, and...

Well, then they're doing something right trying to learn and correct their bad fortune - talking to other traders, trying to get some tips that will help them, or some evaluation from people with the right kind of experience to actually help them. The rest is up to them, I guess. ;-) I had...

INVN, TASR as well as the obvious military-tech stocks. Like when the comanche helicopter-project was scrapped, but there still were considerable new satelitte-defense projects.

Yes, I have many times pulled my poor hairsacks sore and torn because of missed opportunities when fine-calibrating prices. But such hair-trigger respones requires self-confidence, good instincts, a proven trading system and reversals/exits prepared to be fired at a bad trade. It's wonders when...

racehorse, 50 yrs and "elderly" ? I'm no more than just above 30, and still have a awy to go, but perhaps it's the widening generation gaps as a by-product of a ingrasingly faster changing culture ... Well, I guess having ADD, or similar disorders, could have a even greater impact when...

BTW, the reason that I seldom place my order way down in the orderbook nowadays is that this way I can forget about that annoying habit of being in a rut thinking "is the market reaching my position - will it go now - oh no, it didn't take now, but soooo close" and so on. I prefer concentrating...
