Mostly confirmation - ensuring a move isn't isolated to one pair. All the pairs are correlated to varying degrees. Watching multiple pairs might motivate you to do some research in the following areas: determining which pairs are highly correlated in the time-frame you're interested in...

All the majors seemed to have spiked in the last 2 hours against the dollar. BOJ or some other central bank sell dollars or something?

Looks like on the daily chart it should be able to get to .8425-.8450 without much trouble. It's going to hit serious resistance above that. Probably will take some time (days/weeks/months) to clear it, if at all. In the last 25 years (based on the Barchart.com chart), it's only cleared...

CME/Globex futures contracts. Short = short EUR / long USD. The M6E contract (micro-EUR/USD). The 6E contract is the full-size. Contract size for the M6E is 1/10th the size of the 6E. The 6E is 125K euros, so the M6E is 12.5K euros. So my position size right now is $75K euros...

The pseudo-code is just an example. It will have to be tweaked to fit into his overall logic. It won't work otherwise. In the previous example, the sample code runs in a loop. In the martingale, it exits the loop when result == win. In the anti-martingale, when result == loss. Both...

Martingale is just doubling the bet whenever one loses, correct? Below is pseudo-code (not C++/C#/Ninjascript): bet_size = 1; while (bet_size) { result = make_trade(bet_size); (result == loss) ? bet_size *= 2 : bet_size = 0; } Anti-martingale is doubling the bet after...

yep, added 2 more at 1.3500 yesterday - now short 6 total at an average price of 1.3680... Waiting for the resolution of the ECB meeting (tomorrow ?) and the US unemployment numbers on Friday. I'm guessing the move down is only 1/2 way done. But I could be wrong, as always.

Good job! It's always nice when a trade works out and puts $$$ in your account!

How long did it take you to realize that your expected performance level is 100% (i.e. everything working and no fires anywhere). Anything less, and you weren't doing your job? IT is a field where you get blamed both if everything is working and if anything is going wrong...

I'd bet it rolls over instead.... and breaks out to the upside later when you're not looking/expecting it...

daydreams of being the hero that goes long at the next bear market low, eh?

Cantenna's are pretty picky... He says the nearest cell tower is 10K (6.25 miles) away. Since his will be most likely need to be mounted on a tower outside, exposed to wind, the cantenna will need to be pretty stable to stay in the optimal position. Omni-directional or dishes are probably...

You're not describing an American trait, you're describing a common psychological phenomenon... Confidence is highest at the peak... Depair is deepest at the nadir...

The real secret is understanding your own personal psychology, finding a time-frame and trading framework that fits you, and thinking for yourself (by ignoring everybody else). Most indicators are just attempts to use technical tools to manage/hide psychological issues and/or get out of...

The worst-case scenario would be for the gangs to get some business sense and go to where the customers are - out in the suburbs. They would need a lot of pushers in order overwhelm local LEO and gain a foothold..

On the contrary, the people who can afford to put their names on buildings do so for the following reasons: 1. ego 2. ego 3. ego 4. guilt over how they made their money and the harm incurred 5. desire to be the winner that rewrites a favorable version of their own history for...

Sounds like you're trying to cherry-pick the start date... It might be more interesting to run the systems through a Monte Carlo simulator to see if that average DD is truly average or merely path dependent... I'd toss the systems showing wide variance in the results unless you like a lot...

I agree unions have outgrown their usefulness, especially since we now have a service-based economy (not accurately calculated in any gov't statistics, btw). The irony is that we wouldn't get to enjoy all the wonderful tech toys and other advances we've experienced since WWII without pension...

I agree with this one... I disagree with this one because it contradicts your first one. A small group of teacher-parent/child trying to set a good example isn't going to overcome the school-wide problem. Which originates with the parents, like you stated previously..
