If you detrend the market data, they would pass most tests for randomness (from "The Computational Beauty of Nature" by Gary William Flake). Basically if you are not trading the trend bias, you are betting on randomness. Spike500 has helped me out with some trend trading dilemmas. He is...

I saw her three years ago. She looked good in person at the time with straight clean cut hair... I thought she looked much worse in photos and video... often a bad hair day.

Oh shit. Now I can't even unload these crap! :D On a more serious note, you should be happy that you didn't get hurt. The guy probably just sell your computer and flash disk somewhere. Just be careful with your credit card numbers and stuff if it is on the computer. They were probably...

Both great men especially Buffet making such a decision. Working as a programmer, I used to think Bill Gates is an asshole. Now I think he is a hero.... Who isn't an asshole anyway? Hey most great men in history did much worse things.

If I spent more time in the gym instead of browsing web, I would be in much better shape :(

Hi kiwi I think the statisticians would normally do their thing on population distribution of stock returns i.e. P(t) - P(t-1) where P(t) is price at interval time t. But Bollinger just uses price P(t) and not change of price (P(t) - P(t-1)) ... bad math?? My brain turned to cheeze...

Usually statistics should be applied to stock returns and not the stock price like BB (wacky math) and the empirical data show the stock returns appeared not to be normally distributed. See http://www.gummy-stuff.org :confused:

Are you waiting for other offers? If not and if it is a good job, you might consider taking it for now. The worst case is that you waste a year building up your credential for your next job. I don't know about the job market out there but I am sure there are people looking for jobs. Here...

Essential Technical Analysis - by Leigh Stevens http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047115279X/002-7816903-3764809?v=glance&n=283155 Stevens studied TA under Mark which didn't make him a Market Wizard. :( It's a good introductory book (You can get it under $10 used). All I remember is...

Congrat!

I would choose the following people in ALPHABETICAL order: 1) FuturesTrader71 - genuinely helpful to fresh meat like me :( 2) Maverick74 - a holder of the tape-reading lineage 3) Spike500 - he has some kind of supernatural power and rightly so. AND of course ElectricSavant - for his...

Lorenzo, Easy man. Spike can't be the moron because I am the moron. But why is your first report has zero commission? Good trading. William P.S. Good performance either way.

I think they choose the wrong kid for the remake. I saw some preproduction pictures and I think he tried too hard.

Broken Dream, How can a dream be broken if it is not real? I believe in past lives, we must have f@uck up and won so many times that all the gods and demons can't keep count. Still journeying ahead... What's success? What's failure? If I die trying, who is to call me foolish? If I stop...

Thanks. This is a great post. Just by reading this, I really don't think you will be in any real trouble finding a job. You just have to be yourself. Moderator's idea of going back to school to get another degree is not bad too. Or maybe even travel aboard. Good luck and let us know when...

I hate to say it but one of my co-worker's wife was a doctor opening up her own practice. I remember him taking out 0% credit card to renovate her new office years ago. Today, he invests large sum of "cash" in Shanghai and got himself toy cars and speeding tickets. I don't think all that...

I think Georgey is quite happy with what he's done to his own pocket book and his family's... mission accomplished for him.

Hi Spike, I gave up systems some time ago because my beginner mistake with curve fitting. I start trading countertrend because I thought trend trading is about taking a lot of "take the pain" and try to catch a big fish. I thought I am not capable being a trend trader. Your system shows me...

Thanks Spike. This is some sophisticated stuff. Just by looking at the hourly C,H,L, (so few dimensions) even with the help of 15 min, it seems almost hopeless to get to your point but then why is the combination so elusive? Thank you for your explanation and generosity. I am gonna try hard...
