    Using Elliott wave analysis in a practical way

I think that EW coupled with Fibonnaci numbers can be a help...

    What algorithmic trading firms use Scala?

    I'm sure there are as I've seen job postings with asking for scala experience. Since I can't think of any off the top of my head here's some similar-ish languages.

    Would You Leverage This Strategy?

    A lot of ifs. Find a period of time that it didn't perform as tested. Then, when found, decide whether you want to leverage or trade the strategy at all. If you can't find a period of time that doesn't perform as tested, you do not know how to rigorously test data. In this case, get it over...

    Bernie Sanders’ biggest weakness is that he doesn’t understand economics

    Sanders said “the business model of Wall Street is fraud This is the sort of comment that convinces me that Bernie Sanders doesn’t understand the financial system all that well. After all, this is no different than saying that all Muslims are evil because jihadists attacked Paris over the...

    Who's into penny stocks?

    I know as a whole this website hates penny stocks, but has anyone on here actually had success with them? i had just once. Years ago, when Northwest Airlines was failing. Made ~800% profit on excessive optimism and pure dumb luck. One data point does not a trend make. Any of your cases?

    Volatility & Correlation.

    I've found that a modestly leveraged stock and bond portfolio has higher expected return with lower risk than an unlevered 100% stock portfolio due to the diversification benefits from the correlations of stock and bond returns but this is an advanced concept.

    For US investors: International v US index funds?

    For US investors with int'l index funds (stocks or bonds) in their investment portfolios, have they generally done better than US index funds? I'm here wondering whether to add international index stock or bond funds when the US appears to outdo them. Also even if US markets do crash, the...

    Don't like capitalism and free market economics? You're really not as cool as you think you are

    There is a law that forms one of the most basic concepts in economics. It’s called “the law of diminishing marginal utility”. What it means is that the more you have of something, the less you enjoy getting more of it. Among other things, it explains why even in booming markets, many sellers...

    Marijuana legalization just failed in Ohio

    Ohio voters rejected a ballot proposal on Tuesday that would have legalized marijuana for recreational and medical use. The measure was defeated by nearly 2 to 1, according to current projections. I know TONS of people who voted against it simply because of monopolies. If we get the...

    Do millennials back socialism?

    What Bernie promotes isn't really socialism though, and I think people are confused about it. Its more social democracy mixed with populism. True socialism wouldn't have nearly as much of a following since people would find out that they have to give up a lot for it. Still I'm not a big fan of...

    What is the best automated trading software using interactive brokers?

    I have a lot of cash doing very little and want to trade without the head ache. Is there a plug and play tool which will automate the trading for me whilst I have become busy with other things? My question is for Equities or commodity ETFs only. I don't trade forex/futures/options.

    Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

    Deep down inside, you already know this: There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, financially or otherwise. Yes, of course, you understand that. You have heard it over and over your whole life. If you want anything – especially something lots of other people want, too, like money – there is...
