    boxing and trading- a classic fight..

    Yeah...:D What's the deal with hockey anyway...? It's getting ridiculously violent... As for boxing and trading... You have to plan, roll with the punches and adjust that's the only similarity. Poker is far more similar to trading than probably anything else out there... I used to...

    This is f*cking scary

    Here's a thought... Picture millions of men across America thinking the exact same thing... "Oh no... What if some stranger hurts my family?"... AND then... they're all getting more and more paranoid and suspicious of each other... You know statistically you're much more likely to get...

    boxing and trading- a classic fight..

    I'm going to have to go with Sergio Martinez as being the most exciting fighter in the world right now. Ranked number 3 in the world behind Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. ... I can see him being behind Pacquiao but not being behind Mayweather... Check out this awesome fight... Sergio vs...

    What is risk/reward knowing more than 90% of traders lose?

    I'm only going to comment on this part of your post... The problem is that newbies don't know what the winners are doing. That is why it is pointless in my opinion to start trading for yourself unless you've first done that working for a firm. Even then most traders who work at firms and...

    What is risk/reward knowing more than 90% of traders lose?

    :D Are you keeping a record of my posts or something...? I was being rhetorical... :p I know what an edge in a market is... Yeah trading is a negative sum game... to be fair, it is a lot like being a poker player. Only a few will make it. You have to be an "elite" at the game to...

    Fulltime trading weird experience

    :D :D :D Yeah... That's true... Most of the Scandinavian countries are like one big giant cult. I met an American chick who had just come back from Sweden... She was all like "I'don't know how I'm going to be able to live without Sweden."... I was like wow... Really...??? What the...

    Statistics class today : Am I correct or is my teacher?

    :D :D :D Stoner logic at work...! Drugs make you think outside of the box... the only problem being is that what's in the box happens to be reality and right and what's outside is wrong and fantasy!:p :) Yup... This is the right answer... There is bias in this example because...

    France, Germany to Propose Financial-Transaction Tax

    But I think you said all right...? "Just like any other market participant..." :) It happens to be true... You're not dealing with "machine intelligence". You're dealing with programmers who are simply using a computer to do the BID/OFFER work for them. So in other words you're still...

    France, Germany to Propose Financial-Transaction Tax

    :p :p :p Yeah OK... To raise revenue I'd like to see a higher income tax on corporations, rich people (even if it includes me) and tight regulations against speculative lenders... Lots of scrutiny on mortgages that sort of thing... That's where the problems are... There is a revenue...

    France, Germany to Propose Financial-Transaction Tax

    Oh really....? And just how exactly do you know that....? How do you know that the order queing games are done by algos and not by institutional HUMAN traders...??? I'm sure prop firms and banks with trading desks all had a role to play as well, not to mention hedge funds etc... All you...

    France, Germany to Propose Financial-Transaction Tax

    Well... I don't expect that HFTs would step in front of the downtrend. The fact of the matter is that lots of entities stopped bidding including HFTs. How do these people define liquidity anyway...? Liquidity is usually when you place an order on the BID/OFFER and wait for it to get...

    France, Germany to Propose Financial-Transaction Tax

    Exactly...! There is another point to consider here... The EUR is still close to all time highs which was around 1.6040 in 2008... It's trading around 1.4380 right now... These high prices are a killer to exporters and only make the situation worse for the Greeks due to the drop in...
