It seems they have hired some cheap background actors for the floor to appear more populated and lifelike... :D

Physical cliff? :D

Your numbers are spot on. According to my statistics over the last 8 years, my average gross profit per trade and contract was 47 USD (rounded). Those statistics are based on my trades in ES and YM. The interesting thing here is that my average holding period is about 2-3 hours, so I am...

Yes.

Not even close. James Simons' Medaillon Fund had better annual returns and far greater consistency. Apart from that, Simons isn't running around wanting to raise other people's taxes like Soros does.... :D (people which earn significantly less than he does...)

Hilarious.

Now that's what I call rocket science. :D

The FTT in France was introduced just a few months ago and the problems, which the opponents of this tax are constantly pointing to, can already be seen: 1) Small private investors bear the main burden of the tax 2) Revenue will fall short of expections, by a large amount Still, the...

Famous last words. :cool:

If one were to interview Stephen Hawking, I suppose.

Most likely, almost none of them has a working method. :D

Actually, it is one of the defining traits of a 'true believer' that he thinks he is in posession of 'the truth'... :D By the way, it's pretty pointless to argue about what works in the market and what doesn't because there is no benefit to persuade other people into using working methods...

My favorite posters on ET are... #1 The incredible master of higher education, rocket science and quant trading... the not-so-small trader (because THEY LOSE! THE JUST LOSE!) 'emg' #2 The unbelievable 'Jack Hershey' who manages to capture at least 3 times the daily range every day...

Not quite. When trading rule-based, it's a question of on/off - you either follow the rules exactly, or you don't. But you always KNOW if you are following the rules or not. While there are also rules when trading discretionary, it's all about judgment, about interpreting the "internal"...

I think IB is one of the safest brokers out there. Keep in mind that Peterffy is not only the CEO, but also the founder of the company. So it's his life's work. Because of that, he seems quite paranoid about the safety of his company and funds. Just think about how IB uses not only one or...

...and the ultra-rich play electric ukes in their pyjamas... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7ovjjwyLPg

How comes that you are constantly bitching around about people lacking 'higher education' while your spelling abilities are reminiscent of a first grader's?

I'm from Europe but trading the US markets. I would like to sign the petition, but does it make sense? Or would it be viewed as "interference by a foreigner with US politics"?

But he is the master of SCT! (...Shameless Con Trading :D)
