A golfer was involved in a terrible car crash and was rushed to hospital. Just before he was put under, the surgeon popped in to see him. "I have some good news and some bad news," says the surgeon. "The bad news is that I have to remove your right arm !" "Oh God no!" cries the man. "My...

George Constanza's words of wisdom: :) :) :)

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay...

These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services: 1. Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa. 2. Announcement in a church bulletin for a national...

Three ministers - a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and a Southern Baptist and their wives were all on a cruise together. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship, and they all drowned. The next thing you know, they're standing before St. Peter. As fate would have it, the first in line was the...

TG, TS, Bsulli, Thanks. We are all working hard to make this thread the best one on ET and keep it there. So, and this goes for everybody, go find nice, fat, juicy jokes and bring them here, pronto!!! :) :) :)

A guy walks into a bar late at night. He sees a gorgeous babe nursing a drink. Walking up behind her he says, "Hi there, good looking! How's it going?" Having already downed a few power drinks she turns around, faces him, looks him straight in the eye and bellows, "Listen! I'll screw...

A man stopped at a local gas station to fill his tank and buy a soda. Leaning against his car, drinking the soda, he noticed a couple of men working along the roadside. The first man would dig a hole two or three feet deep and then move on to dig another. The second man came along behind him...

tnt, That's cool. Thanks for the discussion :)

tnt, I have to look back and find my notes to make sure, but I remember those discussions and say that even what you describe is possible. Let me clarify: 1. System enters at random moments in time and in random direction (long or short); 2. System does not enter again until position is...

db, 1. Agree. 2. Agree. 3. Agree. :)

db, For the sake of this example, I did define the entries to be random - just a regular coin flip, I said, meaning that you go long or short randomly. You can also do this by adding random times to enter, same thing. All I was trying to say is that random entries and carefully managed exits...

tntneo, Actually, yours is a good example to prove my point: that one can be profitable with random entries and carefully managed exits. You are talking about strong trends - no problemo, imagine the following, very approximate, system: 1. ADX >30 or 35 etc DMI+/- whatever parameters you...

damir/db, Need to define what each means by the term money management. I think that most think mm is just the technique/method/science of growing/cutting back the number of contracts or number of shares for the next trade, given what happened before. Some would add parts of risk...

Mike, The only other thing I know that comes close to what you are talking about is OmniTrader's new module "Visual Trader." Not cheap and not perfect but they (www.omnitrader.com ) claim it is the best there is. I have never used VT, although I do have OT and it is good. It may be worth a...

It depends on what you call money mamanegement and edge - many traders use edge to mean entries but for me, mm is part of my edge. On the other hand, the word skill is very important here - in many ways trading is a skill sport, like golf or racquetball. Now, I wish someone had told me...

TM, That's funny. I wonder what "Predjudism" means - sounds like "prejudice" but no, not quite... can't be... can it??? Where are you from, again? :) (just kidding)

Mike, I have seen standalone programs that approximate this function, but what came to mind was esignal's market center. If you haven't already, it might be worth your taking a look. Good luck!

A blonde was shopping, and came across a shiny silver thermos. She was quite fascinated by it, so she picked it up and brought it over to the clerk to ask what it was. The clerk said, "It's a thermos - it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold." "Wow," said the...

dillman, This is funny. :) I think the second half has the 1 and 2 reversed - right?
