    The Senescent Trader

    As regards your comment on the VWAP, I realize the error of my ways. Please forget everything I have said about VWAP. ACTUALLY it is better known as VCRAP and is of absolutely no use for any kind of trading...DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT BOTHER WITH VWOP.....Forgive me I was temporarily out of my...

    The Senescent Trader

    To set the record straight, I do not trade from a hospital bed because of illness or injury. I bought a hospital bed because I liked the idea of being able to raise and lower the head and legs independently (a couple of other things appealed to me but they are unimportant to this note). Thanks...

    The Senescent Trader

    You know it seems to me that to accomodate the fact that an increasing percentage of the population is aging and changing physically....one might want to change the physical location of their trading space.. For instance, one might move their trading platform and associated equipment into the...

    CRUCIAL Knowledge about TA.

    Harold What works for me, is learning to "characterize" a market..For example, one way of characterizing a market is taking intraday data and exporting it to a spreadsheet, detrending it, and then looking at how price jumps from one price point to another. If you do this for a couple of...

    "Why Technical Analysis is Nonsense"; Views?

    Yes, clearly there are many personalities here and some are "looking for easy answers", in fact often these "TA" threads are nothing more than newbies trying to shortcut the learning process. The bottom line for "TA" is well known. TA is a set of tools, no different really from a set of...

    So I set up my 401k at age 18

    Well, chances are good that in the next few years, we all die in a flaming nuclear holcaust brought about by some towel head terrorist with a suitcase and a bus pass (or from Anthrax or something worse), but hey at least you guys have your 401K and Roth accounts.:)

    16 and want to be a trader!

    Ah, I think you are directing your post to the wrong person. I am a retired professional and unfortunately I am far from 16 years old. while I appreciate your generous advice, it is probably not appropriate for me. For those unfamiliar with Ion Tiriac, he was a Romanian tennis pro who upon...

    Winning Edge -- Dr Ned Gandevani

    Interesting. Pirate has only 2 posts, and wants to know if anyone has experience with a vendor Coincidentally "MasonC" with 25 posts DOES have that experience, but apparently he elects not to post that record, asking people to contact him directly....:D Personally I enjoy spam when it...

    Ramifications of walking away from your house

    Assuming that your "friend" is less than 40 years old, it is likely that the effects of abandoning a home "in lieu" will last to his mid 50's or longer. His ability to take on standard financing with any bank or lender is shot to shit, so if an emergency happens during this time, he is out of luck.

    16 and want to be a trader!

    Hello Diana If your English is good (and it seems to be), then take Computer and Math courses. If possible, continue taking more advanced courses in each subject. Always try for the best grades. If and when you can take courses in Economics and Finance, do that as well. Try to find out...

    The Trading Zone- Every superlative and more

    To me this is interesting because here in the US, there is an old tradition that is still alive and well, mostly in rural parts of the country. It is called the "County Fair", sometimes called the "State Fair", and sometimes it has other names to be sure. There are rides and games and...

    World Without US Dominance

    I would like to see hillary's voting record before declaring that she has "done" anything. You know it seems to me that Hillary was in a very powerful position as the wife of the leader of the free world for (8) eight years! and now, years later, Hillary is talking smack about her...

    First time futures trader, assistance needed

    Based on the content of these first few posts, there seems to be quite a likeness to Marketsurfer, no? :) I particularly enjoyed the last minute request for entry "instructions" and the creative exit strategy...Clearly this person has a lot to offer (entertainment value if nothing else) here...

    quant skills ( VAR, greek analysis?)

    There are a couple of things you may want to consider before going to your interview. First, you might consider that it is going to be very difficult for you to learn complex subject matter like GARCH well enough to have a conversation with someone who does have that background. A skilled...

    Random Market PROOF

    Well you know how to use some of the tools. Amazing that you come to this conclusion. Fortunately for those of us who "have eyes". There are earnings reports, FOMC announcements, economic reports, news events, bond auctions and so much that isn't random, to trade off of.... While your...
