The two directional extremes makes money to a significant degree (what we're after), ie. beyond short-term volatility. So is this a kind of simplified model of both price volatility and movement? Two bars enough for assuming a channel/trend. Breakout is from previous bar extremes, except for...

Could be anything, but assuming an open, a close and each bar being of either three: wide, narrow or nil (compared to a mean volatility or desired threshold), you've got 10 permutations of meaningful variations. Statistically profitable bars would be 2 wide body bars in opposite direction. Areas...

Try running task monitor to see if anything is eating too much CPU or memory. Try different browser to see if that helps. Check free diskspace and free up enough space. Tried running anti-virus / anti-spyware utilities to see if something's up? Maybe it's time to reinstall OS? (backup important...

Maybe the free market could bear much higher costs, have you thought about that? It obviously means nothing to society / other people. Being grateful, what does it really help? Only money and lots of it, to fund personal hospitals and police departments will do! BE #1, or perish. Amen!

Not at all. Like billionaires can afford their own hospitals, every individual should aspire to that, or perish like the lazy bums they are. Let's face it, if you can't afford your personal hospitals, doctors, firedepartments and everything else you require, you're trash and get what you deserve...

Pay for your own hospital. Anything less is just lazy bums crying for handouts!

Averaging volume by 65 days is one way to more clearly read volume, mind you'll get a 32.5 day information-lag so not necessarily for very short-term trading. What you're generally interested in is learning from unusual volume, very high or very low, and how price action develops after that...

There's infinite amount of money available, but the world and its resources are finite. So capitalism is just wrong on a global scale.

For what it may we worth: According to hours and hours of backtesting automatic systems I found a fixed position size limit 20% (1/5th) of total account size to be ideal regarding win-loss. With max 50% stop-loss, this translates to a "max" loss 10% of total account size in normal adverse...

If your backtesting is realistic and statistically significant enough, you can expect more or less the same average performance over longer time, but must prepare for live to fail in all kinds of manner anyway. The worst situation is if you're clueless as to why it's failing. The best situation...

Lost money is forever lost, and have to be accounted for and then more in your winners, which is unnerving for long-term holdings as they're not yet cashed in! Where the money went? To the sharks of course!

It's the free market! You can always make your own exchange!

This makes dual monitors look stupid. Not just for hardcore gamers, but for programmer/designer-types as well, or anybody doing real work with real computers (usually not a laptop).

Thumbs up for One Note. Where it works, it tends to work really well and can even scale up to many collaborators. Only minus is how portable it is, but that may be improving.

Reporting and monitoring should never be done via mail. Anywhere that is used, better to present reports in the best accessible way (eg. web/webservice) as an improvement activity. Most auto-generated mail become spam. Usually lots of process-improvements are needed to optimize the processes and...

50% down on a position is my line in the sand. More than that, and losses may be accellerating rendering the position meaningless, though some stocks recover from that as well with good margin. It is good to use tricks to reduce drawdowns further of course, so this is just one of many factors to...

The same type of list can be done on your mobile using a "Sticky Notes" type app (text editing really). In fact, I maintain a list on mobile which I then manually export to PC. It'd be a pain to manage something like this manually on mobile, but maybe a task-app may be found, though I'm wary...

What've worked for me personally is just a text-file managed through a simple text editor (ie. gedit/geany). It could also be a spreadsheet, even a shared or cloud one. For my next-gen projects I'm just sorting a list at the bottom of the main source-file though, so even simpler setup, closer to...

For anything community-based you need incentive structures. So what inventives can you provide that people will not troll, harass or stay too misinformed in such a collaborative system?
