I only ask because I have experience designing trendfollowing systems and I have not nor has anyone I work with been able to design a pull back system that works over time. It always works out that you get some good trades, but you miss some of the most spectacular markets (the ones that don't...

Hey cornhole, I was just wondering why you think buying a pullback within a trend is lower risk then buying a new high? 5yr

You should figure out who/what you want to be, and be very clear on it, then you should do it now, not take classes to delay the time when you actually have to do something. 5yr PS Assistant to the general manager is much different than assistant general manager.

Why would you bother getting all these certifications if you don't even know what you want to do? I think you should stick with your current bellboy job or maybe become a CMT or CFA instructor. The fact that you have taught yourself "economy and statistics" is probably worse than you not having...

Why not always put the same % of your equity at risk?

I wasn't aware that Jones trades stocks? When did he make the switch? He started out trading futures. Everyone brings up Rich Dennis, but no one every mentions his partner Bill Eckhardt, who runs a billion dollar hedge fund. The there is John Henry, Seykota, Clarke and a host of other...

Sputdr, In your first post you said, "I just need to hear how stupid I am from somebody else." I was just telling you what you wanted to hear. The point of my post was to inform you that no one that trades the S&P futures is watching the dow, so you thinking that the S&P follows the dow...

You think the dow is more important than the S&P? Are you kidding? There is like 10 people in the dow pit and hundreds in the spoos. No paper comes into the dow pit, the traders just take each others money, Not very many professionals trading the dow, if you are trading spoos no reason to pay...

Was it Brandon F?:D

yahoo finance shows goog's p/e ratio at 78. I don't trade stocks and I am primarily technical, but that seems ridiculous. I would wait for it to start to break and short the sh_t out of it. I have heard about people doing that all the way up and they are probably broke now, goog sure seems like...

Nice call, I think you bought it on the low day. Are you still long?

Yes but for a donut you use the the shape, mass, inside and outside edges to find the center of gravity. My question is what parameters do you use to find the center of a market. If you use old prices you are constantly assuming the market will be range bound, if you make up prices what...

Centroid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Jump to: navigation, search Centroid of a triangleIn geometry, the centroid or barycenter of an object X in n-dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide X into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane...

Oh and how are you calcualting fair value for the current price, and what I am really interested in is how you are calculating a future fair value? What varibles go into your calculation, where do you get reliable data from, and what is your cofindence level for your current calculation and for...

Are you long now? It looks like it has another 150 or so points to go up before it gets to your shortable levels.

I have looked for data like this a lot, but haven't found any reliable source yet. Let me know if you find it, but I don't think you will. 59' is the best I have been able to do. Once you have the data the problem becomes verifying it, devising a way to check for misprints or errors and figure...

In four years?! What do you plan to do in the meantime? If you have a dream why are you putting it off for so long?

I think you asked what is the best exchange to trade gold on. It is certainly not the CBOT, the real gold contract trades on comex which is owned by the NYMEX. I am of the opinion when something is making 17 year highs and has been exploding to the upside over the past week may not be the...
