    Why favorable R:R?

    There is no such thing as the "expectancy of the probability". There is no such thing as "expectancy" formally defined either. Calling expectancy the expected gain of a trading system was not a good choice of a term made by Tharp. He obviously meant the expected gain of a trade, which is...

    Goldman, once warning of $200 oil, sees $45 in 2009...WORTHLESS ANALYSTS!!!!!!!!

    Something i notice many traders use

    Keynsian economics is dead

    You never told us what you believe should be done. Do you want the abolishment of the private banking system? Do you understand why private banking system cannot function without fractional reserves? Do you want the state to control all money creation? What do you want after all? Say it...
