They won't dynamite it because they don't know how that would affect the entire well's structural integrity. It is NOT one of the largest ever. BP's CEO put the figure around 50 million barrels. Other people have put the estimate to 1 billion barrels but I have a feeling that is from...

frostengine, how are you implementing your neural networks into ninjatrader for testing?

No worries.. its just that there is so much misinformation going on with this oil spill. I like to keep the facts accurate.

393636 kg = 393.636 metric tons, NOT ~1 metric ton. The metric system makes conversions like this easy. Either way, they will not be stopping the flow at the well head for any reason due to the integrity concerns.

The pressure gradient of fresh water is 0.433 psi/ft. Salt water contains more minerals and ions and can be 5-10% heavier than freshwater. Therefore, 0.433 psi/ft * 1.1 * 5000 ft = 2381 psi. It will remain constant, and does not depend one bit on how much oil is left in the ground...

The current estimate is actually 35000-60000 bbl/d.. 100000000/35000 (best case scenario) = 2857 days = 7.82 years.

They were saying around 100-150 million barrels.

Just some quick numbers for your plug idea- The diameter of the riser pipe is 21 inches. This yields an area of pi/4*21^2 = 346 square inches. The pressure is roughly 2500 psi where the oil is escaping the BOP. 346 square inches * 2500 pounds per square inch = 866000 pounds. Your...

with the new NT7, you can simply download the replay data from the server from the file -> utilities menu

It is definitely possible to get historical data from Zen-Fire. I'm not sure the specifics, but they have tick, minute, and daily bars. There has always been enough data for pretty much anything except for long-term backtesting. They also now have a continuous contract which is pretty handy...

NO ONE CARES

Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

Dude really? Matlab != SAS.

Temperature is a function of energy. Just because something is four trillion degrees celsius doesn't mean it will melt everything in sight. The upper atmosphere is a great example of the energy vs heat vs temperature discussion. I'll just quote the thermosphere wikipedia entry here: The...

While this is indeed impressive, lets not forget the United States already has almost 3 times that amount in oil shales in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Its called the Green River Formation and current estimates range from 1T barrels to 1.4T barrels of "technically recoverable" oil...

It almost describes my trading career perfectly save one point: I do plan on trading again at some point. I was young and dumb (18) when I started trading and of course I knew I could make it. Now I am going to take the time and go back and learn how to trade properly.

You need another option: Never blew up an account and quit trading. I started with $3000 and after 18 months of having an account open it stands at $2200ish. I knew I was gonna lose all my money so I stopped. After watching the markets a bunch more I'm almost ready to give it another go.

There is absolutely no basis in reality for electromagnetic allergies. What the fuck is this world coming to?
