    Fooled by Randomness

    Hehe... your assumptions about me are as uniformed as your reasoning is. Hopefully your reasoning skills in other areas of life are better developed. Suffice to say your (anti?) algo bias keeps you from questioning your base assumptions. That and your post is a series of opinions that I...

    Fooled by Randomness

    You're simplfying things a bit here. What exactly do you refer to as "sophisticated math"? For example, a basic understanding of neural networks + stochastic calc. + cauchy distributions will get one very far in adequetely modeling the magnitude component of many time series events - such as...

    Anyone daytrade the large S&P?

    I'm curious too... the tick size is $25, correct? Seems somewhat non-liquid as well. It seems the SPY would be a lot cheaper to trade.

    BWolinsky Trading

    I think it does.... Your "pairs" system should be killing right now due to the *higher* variances, i.e. more deviation from value. Reasons why it is not are because either a) you haven't incorporated enough data in your analysis, or b) the model isn't able to deal with non-stationarity...

    Are Evolutionists Delusional (or just in denial)?

    Do you have a physics background beyond basic college level intro physics? Have you studied special relativity? First, time is *not constant*. Time is relative. Second, zero, like infinity, are both abstractions. Their philosophical merits are inconsequential and the mathematical merits...

    Not a complete waste as the masturbating monkeys gave me a pretty good laugh.

    Yeah... its not looking too probable here without the daily report. The fills are paramount.

    Let's Trade III, by Sicktrader

    Even if we assume he pays the spread on both sides for entrys and stops (which might be taken down to $12.5/RT if he's patient), how many of the strict(?) TP limits do you think he'll get traded through on, as in a tick over? I'd say about 66% of the time before the trade moves away from the TP...

    Hedge Fund/Trader Documentaries

    PBS special/documentary called "Open Outcry" is pretty good.

    Let's Trade III, by Sicktrader

    No problem. You've had a day of results now its time to document them. Its very easy to do so as nearly all clearing firms send out a daily P/L report. In order to remain interested, I do need to see some sort of commitment towards proper documentation. After getting through the pages of...

    Just open your daily PDF statement (who's the clearing firm again?) and push CTRL+ALT+PrintScreen. Open the Paint program and then click "Paste". You'll have a copy of the PDF in paint so you can edit out account details.

    Seriously... traderzones is one of the better known trolls on ET as well as at collective2.com (he has multiple *failed* systems there as well). This guy has had about 3 different aliases in the last few years where he's been repeatedly humiliated. Why even give him the time of day? Trust me...

    Gates & Crowley due soon at White House to have a beer with Obama...

    You may be reading too much into Obama's actions, then again, you may be right. I think it shows honesty on Obama's part. He's trying to do something to address this faux-racism issue by stepping in to "talk about feelings"... The way I see it is that the cop has a tough job and the...

    improve a country without spending money

    This is the kind of stuff that makes a marked difference. A lot of times its the little things that make all the difference in the world. What I'd like to see is all current inmates escorted back to their neighborhoods and (under proper supervision of course) paint all graffiti, clean all the...

    Americans Against Ron Paul...

    I read through most of the wikipedia link, specifically the financial/IRS and social aspects. My own views are fiscally conservative/libertarian and socially very liberal. It seems like a lot of Paul's views mirror my own. I am in a position to work/live anywhere I'd like, hence I'm curious...

    Americans Against Ron Paul...

    Which country/government (if any) currently implements all of, or a significant portion of, Paul's methodology?

    looking to join a prop firm

    Hi Don, You offer Redi, correct? Out of curiosity, what support, if any, do you offer in setting up an ATS? Do you provide a framework or would one have to build a framework from the ground up? What are the fixed costs (monthly)? Regards, Mike
