The finger pointing at the moon, is not the moon itself God (Creator) was created from 'nothing' or does he always existed?

Hahahaha stu isn't this the greatest paradox of all: singularity 'the infinite energy in an infinitely-small point. daniel_m here's something for you: Rene Descartes wanted to base his philosophy on something 100% certain and the brightest thing that came to his mind was "I think...

:D He who thinks he knows, doesn't know. He who thinks he doesn't know, knows. so am I I'm not religion nor science fan. Live your life to the fullest and... go with the flow!

We'll not discover or understand anything in this subject. It's just a word game. Singularity = point with infinite energy > point = object with no dimensions > define 'object' define 'dimension' and so on... This type of discussion can only lead to tautology or paradox.

Here: http://zebu.uoregon.edu/~js/ast123/lectures/lec17.html "singularity" is explained as a "point of infinite mass or density or energy". Hmmm the term "point" in math means an object that has no dimensions ( that's very interesting, paradox again: object without dimensions! ). Looks like...

Daniel, how about the concept that universe always had existed? Sure, it's hard to imagine. But creation "from nothing to something" is also hard to imagine. The meaning of words 'something' and 'nothing' itself, is interested. The only thing I feel is that these two cannot be separated. If...

European economies are over-regulated, over-taxed: that's the reason why eur. equities underperform U.S. EUR rally vs USD is a result of large differences in interests rates between both sides of the Atlantic.

Look at DAX last 2 weeks... down ~ 17% Aaron, since your fund trades DAX futures, I think you're doing very well in January 2003!

For the month January 2003 after 1 day, I'm #76 (of 7,283). :) :) Hahahaha

Yesterday I've entered this game. Today, looks like they made the first mistake. My SEPR stocks are up 100% ! :D Take a look at my portfolio.

Excellent and funny point, Babak.

If there's no purpose, it doesn't mean that all is just a "random bullshit". Let's assume, there's a purpose. At some point, it is reached. What's next? There's no one, general purpose. Why it should be? Quote from "The Creation Myth" by Alan Watts: ((...

I agree. You must look for strategies that are profitable including slippage & commissions costs. So you can throw out of the window most of the day trading systems... Diversification over different trading styles is a good thing. Trend following, arbitrage, discretionary; all of these can...

What kind of trading expenses are you referring to? Here're more CTAs with great return/max DD ratios: http://iasg.pertrac2000.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=94 http://iasg.pertrac2000.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=64 http://iasg.pertrac2000.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=231...

Crabel Diversified 1x leverage has better return/risk figure. 12.05% annual return and only 4.24% worst drawdown. Ratio of 2.84. I don't know however, if these figures are net of fees. http://www.crabel.com/comparisons.htm

acrary: you're right. It wasn't a good example. I just wanted to say, that if two strategies have the same return/risk ratios and one has higher risk than the other (but also higher return) - choice depends on your risk tolerance.

I personally would like to talk about how strategy deals with market's non-linearity, instead of the question "is strategy over-fitted to history?" In day- or swing trading U.S. and European stocks or futures, b/c the session lengths are different (6.5 hours vs 11 hours) you have to use...

LOL Phantom. It means E*Trade will have another chairman. Obladi oblada life goes on.
