    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    What random walk, there ain't such a thing as random walk in trading. Cannot belief this thread is still going on, as my late father used to say: "wanking off in a dark suit may feel nice but I doubt anyone notices" Have a nice day

    Is Trading Just Guessing?

    There is sufficient information at times which makes it a no-guess.

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Yep, another one gone. :( What many forget is that real traders often do not engage in polite discussions, they have no time to be polite instead they call it as they see it. In the end dreamers and wannabees will be all that are left on this website . :mad: IMHO Those who believe in the...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    [/i] +1 No need for candlesticks, there are other ways (even with bar charts that are not using open / close) that are more (just as?) accurate and less stressfull (imho).

    Spyware attacks

    Same here. On the odd occasion that I had to browse some unknown website I did a restore afterwards (previous days data held in an encrypted container - TrueCrypt and the hard disk image in Acronis). On the odd occasion that I felt that I had to check my system I ran some anti* software and...

    Overleveraged Forex traders now join the ranks

    Yes, but how many of the noobs have taken the time to learn how to read a chart proper? ( and how long does it take to learn if no genuine mentor is available?) Sometimes all they can think about is a carry trade after reading a book (or two) about trading and have never studied risk management.

    Look at dat JPY!!!

    yep - the bombing of my late father's favourite hangout in Bali just missed him (he had just left). I kept on using his account to remind people that there are those who are bend on creating misschief out of jealousy as well as that one may feel oh so mighty yet one never knows what is around...

    Look at dat JPY!!!

    I do rate it as a stop run. I had been expecting it since about 2 pm and being after the market has closed makes it overshoot in a nice way. Almost all markets are being arb'd and that makes that it affects other stuff as well - one would expect a big sell off in holdings that the Japanese...

    JPY at end of trend?

    Not strange if you take 5 second to think about it. Money has to be brought back to Japan to pay for the rebuilding, this means that there is demand for the Japanese Yen and hence drives the price up.

    Karzai asks US/NATO to cease operations?

    I think it was president Washington who mentioned that the military were to repel invading forces to the country but that it was morally wrong to try to lay upon another sovereign nation US's will. (and manner of life). Unfortunately both Germany and now the US have fallen victim to the will...

    Why the strength in the Yen

    Its highly likely that in the short term the Yen will fall but 6 - 12 months out it will strenghten. Not buying yet. People will require replacement housing and to a lesser extend transport and will need to spend which will invigorate the economy. Due to factories having been shut down...

    Standard Mouse or Roller Ball???

    Used to have a 3M ergonomic "stick" and after getting used to it loved it for trading (thumb on the button). Unfortunately due to rsi I had to move away from it and am now using a Kensington trackball after trying out Logitech and some praised older Microsoft ones. I love the "dial ring" (for...

    Best Broker/Platform for Mac User?

    Why would anyone want to utilise a web based charting program which one has to pay a monthly fee for? What about some customised indicator and you want to keep that private? NOTHING using the web is private.

    Acronis clone question

    +1 Same here. Saved my skin a few times and found Acronis the most reliable disk imaging product. Most people wait until their HDD craps out before replacing yet you can check the number of errors on your disk to determine its end of life. I standard replace them every 18 months and after...

    I ran Microsfot Security Essentials scan

    +1 and the other 1% is solved by having a good backup and restore regime. Have not had any anti-crap running for 10 years after getting caught with something that neither McAfee or Norton could find (and not even today). It took dad a MONTH to get rid of it.

    Biggest day ever

    Market changes and most came across a system by accident that stopped working and the system did not auto adapt. Result is that they are out of the game. Others have a system that continious to work and are sick and tired of the same old questions by the new crowd who are too lazy to do their...

    advice sought for delayed data forex feed

    Not free - you get what you pay for and free is more often than not full of errors. With IQfeed I can download with about 10 minutes delay which is fine. But I am looking at altrnatives since I was not impressed with the forex offerings from IQfeed. Thanks, Maria

    IB TWS Win7 no installation possible

    Just installed it yesterday on Win7 Professional and had no problems at all. I have however UAC turned off because of TradeStation 2000i (which is why I am slowly switching to Amibroker so I can dump TS2000i) TWS has been very stable under Windows 7, we've run it right from the release date...
