    Trading the first two hours

    There is a system called camarilla which used special pivots of their own. Totally mechanical with published performance. You can subscribe for 150$/month at the daytraderclub.

    How does anyone do this?

    luck is a believer term, hasard is more technical term. I point on mathematical point on view not on belief point of view.

    How does anyone do this?

    Exhortation is not enough. An statistically there are always people who succeed by pure hasard (I have already talk of the Levy law about persistency of chance and attribution of success to talent whereas it is only due to chance) and if the only reason they see is that, well, I will ask myself...

    As an editor software you have to cope with generic programming. Generic programming is much longer. It is not the case when you program specifically for your own need. I am a software architect in fact so I know the problem of generic programming (I only do that for clients if they have money...

    Short-selling faces clampdown by SEC

    I always love when they present things like a progress for the public health :D It is a long time that in Europe short sellers have to borrow the stocks ... and it doesn't change everything in stocks behavior. One of the reason is that lenders perceive interests. In France Banks lended...

    And if you don't like Ideal Gas Law PV=nRT you can have (P1 * V1) / (Z1 * T1) = (P2 * V2) / (Z2 * T2) :) You know what I mean: my formula was just as simple as for the goal purpose :p Now when you say that Expectancy=...

    Trailing stop/Initial stop on futures

    The Expectancy formula is: Expectancy = Probability * Gain Nature law is often quite frustrating that when you want improve one term, the other degrades and vice versa and that the person who don't realise this and try to get both is a Holy Grail researcher. I pretend that this Holy Grail...

    Trailing stop/Initial stop on futures

    As I said you can't use fixed stop if you don't have an inner knowledge of the market (model but in the large sens it must not always be a formal model like mine but can be recurrent "intuition" acquired by experience) so yes it is better not to use fixed stop (implicitly tight) for newbies...

    The Delta Phenomenon. (any Opinions About It?)

    "The influence of celestial bodies on our planet is indisputable." indisputable ? If you mean that when the Sun shines I feel happy yes. But I would be very surprised if the Sun or the Moon can make the market bottom at an exact price and exact time. You cite the woman menstruation: tell me...

    I agree that WL is an easy language but programming an interactive user interface with WL is impossible: there is no events associated with objects as far as I know so coding an entire integrated trading system with a traditional programming environment is still a good choice. This is rather...

    market success = life success ???

    I said in one of my first post that people approach the market with stereotypes. The most used stereotypes are wars but you are not obliged to use this one and chose a more pacific one as suggested here: http://www.ruthroosevelt.com/article_metaphor.html As for me I use a rational model...

    Trailing stop/Initial stop on futures

    It depends on the type of framework you use and in some framework (like discretionary trading) it will sometimes depend on the judgement of the market. If your framework allows to chose a knowledgeable entry point with extreme precision the best is to use a fixed stop - in fact that is one of...

    The Delta Phenomenon. (any Opinions About It?)

    hypothesis 2 is just based on human interests and HUMAN INTERESTS HAS ALWAYS BEEN CONSIDERED AS RATIONAL don't you ever heard of Game theories huh ?
