Both GOP front-runners are pathological liars. Why am I not surprised?

Some greedy assholes thought they could hussle the Ohio population into giving them exclusive growing rights. The voters smartly told them to fuck off. I disagree with the argument that a monopoly is better than nothing. Do it right or don't do it at all. Fuck all autocrats!

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZT* Sorry, that is incorrect. There is no book at Amazon written by David Goodboy or Dave Goodboy. Your unpublished and unreviewed scribblings do not constitute a "book" in any meaningful sense.

Wow. The "patriarchs" as you call them had nothing to do with term limits. Not one federal political office was term-limited by them. Your ignorance of the history of this country has you believing ridiculous things. A smart man would do something about that.

My mother was a nurse and I found out through her that a lot of doctors (not all of course, but more than you might think) are arrogant shits who assume that because they made it through medical school, they can learn anything else lickity split. This is why most doctors make such good traders...

You are as always a complete dumbfuck. A) the Repubs had three debates, the Dems only one. B) the Dems were moderated by CNN. Nobody at CNN asked the Repubs about fantasy football either. Christ you are one incurably stupid mofo.

So most of the latest clown car (and that's exactly what it is) say the questions they get from network moderators are just too tough. Sob. :( What a bunch of candyass crybabies! If they can't handle tough questions from moderators, we're actually supposed to believe they can handle Putin...

I've read that guy's PDF on his p-indicator. His indicator is a joke. A grotesque joke. It depends on the trading history of N unspecified price patterns. WTF?! All that crap just to figure out whether price is headed up or down or neither? LOL!

"The TREND is your friend ... the biggest lie ever!" So much drama. Trade the trend, avoid the chop. KISS And for those who are tempted to ask how, figure it out. Lazyness and handouts won't make you successful at this game. Do the work or walk away.

His last sentence was sarcasm. Or perhaps more appropriately, scorn. Surf always tries to have it both ways, so long as he comes out ahead. Not logical, not mature and not persuasive, but that's our surf.

Besides you didn't make a comment, you asked a question. And it wasn't a stupid question.

Technical analysis is any method for generating trading signals, said method being based solely on past and present price data and/or volume data of a security. This includes both quantifiable and unquantifiable methods, including mathematical formulae (RSI and ADX), trendlines, pattern...

I've yet to see a quant who does as good a job at finding trends as any technical trader. Indeed all quant strategies are market-neutral strategies because they all so suck at directional trading. If you find a quant who can trade directionally, you can bet your ass it's because he's using...

What's the matter, surf? Did they reject your definition for price drivers? :D :p

Total bullshit. I worked two summers at a Chrysler brake plant in Michigan along with some other college kids. We put in full days' work right alongside union workers and nobody was slacking off. There were production quotas to be met; any slackers would've been fired, union or no union. The...

Great stuff for discretionary trading, worthless for mechanical trading.

If say a given strategy depends on the size of an indicator (e.g., ADX), it might make more sense to choose the parameter(s) that maximize the average ADX value over the N most recent bars rather than go through the whole backtest routine.

Running 20 separate backtests prior to updating the system is not doing it on the fly. Very diffficult to do with 5-minute data, you may be constrained to eod trading.

The markets are pseudo-fractal or fractal-like. The closest analogue would be the coastline "fractals" which, like the markets, are nonrepetitive but similar. Of course the biggest difference is that the markets have a smallest size. There is no scale smaller than tick-size. Still there may...
