I think the whole idea is a mistake. It just points out who the stronger personalities are here at ET. No one is going to be successful in an effort to keep these members in line. Banning them removes much of the inspirational fire that keeps the more studious from analyzing the market to...

I wouldn't get all heated up about nitro's posting: ******** is a Charter Member User Name: ******** - A Registered Fool Since May **, 1999 Real Name: Interview: Read a Foolish Interview with ******** City, State, Country: ******** Total Posts: 53269 Total...

The more systems you build, the fewer optimization steps it takes to find a winner.

Hi. I once used a program that would curve fit past performance and then forecast future price series. Very sophisticated and unreliable. Katz and McCormick know there stuff on statistics. Optimization trys to eliminate the noise while still capturing the underlying signal. The problem you...

Yeah, now I do, but I hadn't thought that he might be a multiple.

I doubt that, as anyone suffering as she did would just be trying to recover their self respect. I wonder that you make a joke of it.

Thanks for clueing me in. I didn't fear Jack. I was angry when he came to the Mental Ceilings thread and tried to turn it to his own use. His last three posts there were as cryptic and convoluted as ever. To be honest, I am overwhelmed by the amount of posting he does, to what purpose? I've...

my point is, i don't care how many people want people banned, want "bad words" deleted, or want threads closed. not everyone operates on the same beliefs. therefore, i think each individual should decide for themself what they want to read, instead of some moderater's beliefs affecting everyone...

Yes, I think you understand what I said. I have no control over what you think. If you think a lot about it, I'd suggest you may want to try some simple diversion like reading jokes or taking a walk. As for your question, when I lose I accept responsibility for the loss. By the way your last...

nkhoi, I don't think I'm making a smart aleck comment about Jack's posts. I said when I stopped posting on the stochastics thread that if you don't expect to much from Jack, things will be fine. Or, words to that effect. As for my question, Jack never answered it. His market pep talk was...

Quote from bundlemaker: Baron, you truly are an idiot. Read above what you wrote. You state specifically that you ban those you receive complaints about. Think about that for a moment. It makes NO sense. You're assuming that if you receive complaints, the complainers must be right. YOu've...

Thanks for the compliment. On the contrary, I found one thing Jack said to be of value. For that reason I waited quite awhile before I got fed up with his antics and complained. It is amazing to me the power struggles which arise in message board communities over who is 'in' and who is 'out'...

Trolls live under bridges and come out at night to frighten and attack people, and possibly to eat them. I believe they originate in Norse folklore (maybe Gerrie can enlighten us here), and am not certain how this term came to be adopted on the Internet. On message boards and news groups a troll...

"To Serve Man"

That's a fine point of view if you are standing aside for awhile. Taking up a position is like fooling around with firearms...if you are unfamiliar with either, you can get hurt.

When trading equities I was sometimes curious how I could trade a low volatility stock but obtain the return of a high volatility stock. I had a system for trading stocks at that time that was a combination of stochastics and moving average crossover. In order to use this position sizing...

I've used this article (parts of it) to help focus my mind on trading, when I was trading equities. Maybe, some of you will find it useful. Article: Metaphors for Trading by Ruth Barrons Roosevelt "Creation of empowering metaphors is one more tool you can use to enhance your trading...

It is a good way of thinking, but it isn't original...I just re-read the paragraph in the post that ES responded to. It said much the same thing in different words. Oh, well, a confluence of thought! Now, I wonder what's next?

ES, I read that people organize their lives by 'scripts'. For example, going to the restaurant is a whole script of expectations of what will happen and when these things will happen. There are variations to the script at times but it remains pretty much a standard routine. Another example...
