LOL! Found this site handy for calculating dietary vitamins and minerals: https://cronometer.com/

No better or worse than yourself; we'll both move on one day, and eventually be forgotten...

On a related note, where did the Kim Klaiman (sp?) thread go? OK the forum is Baron's plaything and I've no problem with that, but I don't really want to waste my time here if topics disappear like that, there must be better options but it's up to Baron to figure it out if he wants.

Yeah I'm like the japanese soldier hiding out for years on a pacific island somewhere, thinking it's still on. o_O Caught up with the latest Xela stuff last night, fascinating. :wtf: Yeah I did get some condescension for not being charitable towards 'her' beloved Al Brooks...

No point 'calling people out' if you can't offer anything better yourself, ie show trading in forward testing, not hindsight. Maybe put it in a journal topic?

Why not just show your trading in forward testing; until then, it must be zero credibility I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, the 'secrets' are extremely unattractive to wannabe traders. :(

Problem is, very few market gurus can do this in forward testing or as part of a verified track record. It's always in hindsight, like the example given above. :D

I'm highly skeptical of any market 'guru' that cannot put up some sort of verified track record or clearly demonstrate their methods in forward testing. Al did a podcast with BigMike/Futures IO back in December '16 in which he was fairly and squarely asked about a track record, and gave some...

Got to remember that the Douglas material originally came out many years ago, I'd say he's the father of trading psychology. This interview with Steve Goldstein is well worth a watch in my opinion:

Being devils advocate for a minute... For people who ultimately cannot trade, would it be 'smarter' to quickly flame out at high leverage then use their time better elsewhere, than slowly grind down to zero over a number of years? o_O

FCA Goes After BAML Trader for Baiting Algorithms into Trading https://www.financemagnates.com/institutional-forex/regulation/fca-goes-baml-trader-baiting-algorithms-trading/ Those poor defenceless innocent algos! o_O

Maybe this'll help, one of Roberts talks (worth googling for any others too...)

Bit late but there's some more alternatives listed on a Hacker News topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15616880

Usually when I read this I think 'do you have some kind of approach worked out, and probably more importantly, how did you arrive at it?' Part of the problem might be that there's a desire for a purely intellectual solution to the challenge of discretionary trading, whereas in reality it's...

OTT regulation biased towards a futures/exchange monopoly? Retail spot forex should be a huge market like it is overseas, so why only literally a handful of providers? o_O

Go for a short walk, or do you have to stay on the computer non stop?

To use curl to download the export file it needs three things: 1. A copy of the cookies that Yahoo uses. Best way is to install a fresh copy of Firefox Portable and add the Export Cookies add-on, then log into Yahoo. Then right click on the title bar, select Menu Bar then select Tools/Export...

No problem, it can even be automated if you really want, but that involves working with the command line and a download utility called 'curl', it's a bit fiddly. With freebie data, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have two different sources worked out, then if one changes or disappears it doesn't...

Why not put the quotes into a portfolio and download using the export link?
