    The VIX and its 200 MA

    Speaking of ways to use the VIX, I believe Laurence Connors thought the RSI of the Vix could be used profitably. Anyone try that?

    The other fact about fund manager's performance was that they were inconsistent. That is, this quarter's, or year's - you pick any period - best performers were typically not next period's stars. Add to that the fact that these funds grew through marketing more than portfolio growth, and that...

    Pre-pay taxes?

    The penalties are figured seperately for each installment's due date, so even if you make up the payment later, you still get hit. Take your total due and divide it by four and those are the payments. This has to be done on both your fed return and state. The rule, I believe still is: You...

    Your computer could be killing you

    I thought this would be about specific computer attributes that are death-dealing. Instead, sSounds like it's sitting that kills you. So, spending large amount of times watching TV can doom you too, no? If anything, I'm surprised no one's linked the unexplained growing numbers of brain cancer...

    Mechanical ES system

    I don't mean to put words in his mouth (not that he'd let anyone do that regardless), but I think Jack is telling you that the lookback period of the MAs does not correspond approriately with the range over which your average trade lasts. Or something like that. Let me know if I'm correct in...

    Mechanical ES system

    Can this not be solved via technology? These problems are caused by technology. Suffer through such a glitch and anything can happen. Does the BT take that into consideration? No, it does not. Bad feed happens from time to time, and if you've got stops in place, they may get hit during...

    Mechanical ES system

    Reflecting on your question, the difference between backtested results and trading realtime includes all the natty little nuances of living in an imperfect world as an imperfect person, some of which are, but not limited to: lost connectivity passing the wrong trading parameters bad feed...

    !! Joke Of The Year !!

    What do you call a musician who can't play an instrument? A drummer. If you've ever been a musician, you'll appreciate this one: A musician dies and goes to heaven. St. Peter is qualifying entrants that day. The first guy on line is asked, "What did you do worthwhile while you were on...

    One if by land, two if by sea, three if by air

    The Brits were the oppressive, taxing, governing authority. The U.S.'s relationship to Iraq is not that. Probably more accurate to say that the U.S. has taken on the role akin to what the French played in the Revolution, they came to the aid of the freedom fighters seeking independence from an...

    Hihi: New York Times "Three states have joined forces to rename U.S. 666"

    well, harrytrader, I admit you have a point there. Although it just seems sensical to me that the reason fibo works when it does is that enough people are looking at the same numbers and acting on that, and when it doesn't work, they aren't.

    Transfering from Win 98 to XP-- What's Wrong???

    Again, in the lisence agreement for winamp 9, read carefully the part about if you're using an unauthorized OS. And if you proceed, you'll see in the installation process something about the Windows Rights Managament being installed. Otherwise, running winamp 9 may shut down some of your files...

    Hihi: New York Times "Three states have joined forces to rename U.S. 666"

    dotslashfuture, I think that's the point and we all agree. Yet there's legislation covering 3 states involving governors and other politicians in that lunacy nonetheless. Why don't they see Satan in my health insurance premiums going up and get cracking on that? Many people are already paying...

    Transfering from Win 98 to XP-- What's Wrong???

    Not common knowledge, but true: XP transmits data about MS applications in your CPU to Microsoft. If you have pirated versions of anything of theirs, they transmit back and shut down your files. Maybe that's what happened?

    Hihi: New York Times "Three states have joined forces to rename U.S. 666"

    So, don't they need to rename everything that has a "666" in it, just to be consistent, or does Satan only bother them if they're on the road? Let's see, that would include probably medicinal formulas, telephone numbers, patents, security codes... Don't these bible people read the bible they...

    Isn't it incredible how these things routinely go on, nothing is done about it. Good excuses are given, and there ain't squat you can do about. Go ahead, I dare you. Call the WSJ and the Times, see if they're interested in this behind the scenes chicanery that is unscruposuly taking money from...

    If you read their page about how they intend to make money, you'll note that the last item they mention is that they get paid for order flow. Order Flow means that they have arrangements with certain market makers wherein they'll get a commission on your order, and that comes out of not giving...

    Swing Trade EXITS...

    I think Mr. Hershey's posts are hard to understand, not because his techniques are convoluted, but because he does not have the advantgae of an editor rewriting his posts for clarity and readability. I have found that using a pyschological technique, however, to induce a state of consciousness...

    Trading Business

    For all the jabs Don Bright gets, one thing he posted once that I recall and thought "why not?" had the gist of 'what the heck d'ya need the whole setup and performance fees and all that for? I've seen deals to split profits 50/50 written on a napkin. Keep it simple." Didn't Linda Rashke start...
