LOLOLOL!!! :D :D :D Finally, got DT-waw with his pants down! Was only a matter of time, wasn't it? And you want to criticize ME??? Check out this lame post: Full stop. If your system only returns 1.7 pts/day, throw it away. If your system performs so bad on historical data, what's it gonna...

First, Thanks for starting this thread, Natalie! This was one of the issues burning the most under my nails, and I'm glad it's being discussed by so many excellent, but contrarian minds on the subject. I thought I would wait a few days and shup up in the process to see how it develops...

Yep. Accurate. I disagree with the notion on this board that playing the piano or chess are just "leisure disciplines". In fact my best childhood friend, who I spent the largest part of my youth with, was a violin prodigy. Besides going to school, doing homework and hanging around with...

But: The older you get, the harder you have to hold onto your money... Right?

THIS is possibly the silliest REPLY yet on ET! Yeah LOL I really believe that! You obviously haven't got the slightest idea what you're talking about. "Pessimistic outlook" - What a bunch of crap. "Intelligence" has got nothing to with with how smart you are, buddy. Anybody halfway smart...

LOL TM! You never fail to make me laugh my head off another time... :) :p :D Now I'm just keenly awaiting your first "bubba" photomontage... Who's he gonna look like? Louis Armstrong? John Rhys-Davies? The old Einstein? The old Elvis??? Well, I even dedicated you a line on the...

You are right here in a few points, however I think the reference to Sokal's hoax is a little far-fetched and nothing but a potential witness of your own inability to discern and filter valuable knowledge from hoax / bogus information. And yes - I, too have criticized bubba and told him not...

Very unfortunate, but true.

Very well said! :) While I have long realized that ET members aren't exactly appreciative of people they cannot understand or cannot explain how they can write such big posts - I have learned to get over it and see the ET board for what it really is : A treasure full of great information - In...

LOL! Nice one! :D Further sequels written by me; "How to type at 7,000 rpm while doing 150WPM in your sports car" "The complete idiot's guide to amphibious sports car modding" "Palmistry for the advanced emini trader" "How to win at everything for dummies" "Marital Arts and the Art of...

Dear Brother Cable, Only 6 posts and already one of the most well-thought-out and intelligent on the board! I am impressed! 'Atlas Shrugged'! I LOVE this book!!! Actually, as you may derive from my first post on this thread, my convictions are modelled quite a lot around the concepts of...

:) www.philhendrieshow.com :D

I think you're referring to Sir Winston Churchill... :) I wish I could do with 5 half-hour catnaps per day... I think the only thing that annoys me in life is that the day only has 24 hours. Personally, I cannot do with less than 5h sleep per day for extended periods of time... But I'm...

Please elaborate! Only in case there's actually any substance to your argument, of course... ~Scientist

The thing is that whoever you're being interviewed by isn't going to be impressed with somebody having "trading experience" on his CV, unless he hasn't lost his capital, been successful, successful with a good amount of money and can on top prove all this. Otherwise "trading experience" may be...

That is an entirely relative assumption, to say the least. With increasing price comes declining price leverage. ~The Scientist

Whatever you say, pal... :D ~Scientist

3rd! That's funny! So for a whole day we were both 21! :p But honestly - I haven't skied for ages, and I'm no good at it, either. I'm a terrible skier. But yeah. Practice practice ... :cool: My trading is going quite well, actually. There'd be a lot of interesting things we could discuss...

Dear Brother PuffyGums, These are two excellent articles about dynamic hedging! The concept of "exploit the dynamic hedgers" is both the most underestimated and the most important secret to success in the markets, particularly trading two-sided markets such as futures. Saying that "a...

Sigh... First post on ET, and already destructive? :D This might be for you, brother Adolf: http://www.heathenworld.com/swastika/ Compliments, ~Scientist :cool:
