Optional, Aren't you suspicious of someone when you have, at the very least, a reasonable idea they are only telling you half of a story? Do you think every move the SEC makes is really an altruistic manuever to guard the interests of the "little guy?" What about all the companies who...

Suspicious in what way?

I'd be curious to know how many here have lived in Iraq under Saddam's regime. Quite a few comments have been made about the degree of freedom Iraqi's enjoy, Saddam's evil nature, etc. Where do you all get your information? I am not arguing your point nor do I feel I know any better. I am...

with one born every minute, this guy's equity curve should look pretty good

Curious to know where people stand. Somewhat related, do people generally agree or disagree that good trading systems can be applied regardless of timeframe?

I figure the market has a good chance of mimicking the 30's and 70's fallouts over the next ten years. As a result, I would like to get familiar with these chart patterns. Recent stocks going to zero, although somewhat useful, would probably have some differences because of general market...

How did you decide that these stocks were related? Are there fundamental reasons, or are they just similar moving? I have a vague idea of how one might filter and test stocks for similar price movement. Like getting a Beta of 1.0, but one stock against another instead of an index. rlb

Looks pretty solid, thanks. Not too big on monthly fees though. I'll probably try the demo out. How's Wealth-Lab's backtesting? Saw some very positive reviews on this site but no specifics. I've already run the trial (too early on to know what to do with it) but didn't get to the...

Does anyone know where to get historical charts of stocks that went under?

i don't see any numbers... don' suppose you started in negative territory

I got hawked today via "personal messaging" from someone at ETF. I asked what was being offered and there wasn't much reply. Of course, when I told him I have yet to trade SSF, commodities, just stocks... hello? I think he got a bad lead. Thanks for the heads up "What am I supposed to do...

As a new member I must take some of the blame for this. I suppose us newbie's don't know the rules yet. Someone should start a thread of just acronyms and their meanings. Viva la ET

EliteThink, I just started reading your book and am enjoying it already. Thankyou. -rlb

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - Old but far from dated.

I started with Scottrade much as you did. I now have both IB and Scottrate accounts, primarily because of a lack of shorting capability. I had checked to see if IB had shares avail. for short several times when Scottrade did not and IB never failed. However, now that I have the account I have...

Hii a_ooiioo_a: Alright, I miscued. I have not read every thread at Elite yet, so if you wish to reveal your incites I would be glad to know. Obviously if you are a trader by...umm...trade, then the system must have some validity. So let's have it... LD

Hii a_ooiioo_a: Alright man Hii a_ooiioo_a, let's see what you got. Submit a system of utter simplicity. In fact, I challenge you to find in your archives a system so simple a monkey could run it, but that only breaks even. Then this will be our benchmark. If as a group we can make it...

I think it best if you start the thread and keep me updated. I am spending a good deal of my effort working on this first idea. Thanks, RLB
