That's where I get my beer from most of the time. So he trades beer...

Why? Does it say 'for traders' on the bottle?:D

Yes, I would second that. From what I have seen on this board many people set them too tight, at least for me and regardless of what the market suggests, that is in a somewhat arbitrary way. Now, that also means that you should set your targets at least to be 2 times your intended stop-losses.

I was right that you were close-minded...

Now, that can be helpful too...:cool:

Well, I do have a Ph.D. in theoretical physics, which means that I have the best credentials you can ask for in this case, and yet I do not subscribe to your view that this subject should be discussed only among those with so-called credentials. These are fascinating things, that is as long as...

Well, at least you are open-minded enough to take interests in these things... Another good book, more up-to-date and a little bit more advanced than Herbert's is 'The Infamous Boundary' by David Wick. An open-minded layman can certainly learn a lot from it, even if at times it gets a bit...

OK, I got you better now. Yes, Einstein believed that, as he put it, 'God does not play dice', meaning that Nature is more deterministic than we think and it's only that we still need to understand it. Well, Nature is not the way Einstein thought it to be. The Einstein-Bohr debates of 20's...

I don't think Einstein would agree with you. Einstein was one of the harshest critics of quantum mechanics. He never liked it and considered it incomplete. The so called Einstein-Podolski-Rosen thought experiment was a milestone in the understanding of real nature of quantum world but only after...

relatively cheap from http://www.anfutures.com/ That's how I get my data.

I do not believe that anyone really thinks that Saddam is a good guy and I have not seen any post on this board stating this directly. Of course, I do not read the chit chat threads that often, so I might be wrong. The fact that people are against this war does not automatically mean they...

Being hangover works for me better than drinking. When I am hangover, I just don't care what's going on... When I am drunk I am still trying to compete with the market and, of course, what's the best way to do it if not overriding your system? :D

More stats is not a bad idea, also try some filters, and perhaps some other setups. It's good to master one very well, but it should also be highly reliable.

The world population is not growing as fast as it used to when such alarmist opinions were first voiced by scientists. According to the recent forecasts, the population growth will stabilize at some pretty manageable level and may even start decreasing later on. That's why you do not hear about...

Now I finally know who makes wipsaws in SP500. It must be S&B....:D

It depends on your system, and in most cases you would get wipsawed in a situation like that. At least I did today with ES, but my system is mechanical, so it does not care whether it's a coild or not, just keeps trying until it breaks out. Sounds stupid, but in fact, it's all about statistics...

In fact, very good for YM, 610 pts for 2 contracts, all days positive, good for ES, with 4 days positive. There are better and worse weeks, just because you got one of those bad ones does not mean anything. I am sure you would not be so concerned if you got a super-duper good week (which...

In 1991 during the Gulf War there were uprisings against Saddam in Iraq, one in the North and another one in the South. That was the best time to help Iraqis to liberate themselves from Saddam. But at that time Saddam was not considered such a danger to American interests and so the former US...

I think he was being honest and he even said so. So were you. He was not politically correct, but not all people are and that's good because that's what diversity is all about. In fact, I believe that PC kills originality of expression, so I am glad he was not PC.

Well, that's precisely the reason why exits are so important, because as you say, they are harder. Indeed, they are and so many if not most people prefer to concentrate on entries because if they could not do even this part of the trade well, they would never make it in this business. But I...
