    They say fear and greed drive markets but I have to imagine hope plays a big factor too.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson advise for Powell...

    With all due respect, gotta disagree here... the economic situation always has something to do with politics.

    Manual trading and profitable?

    I guess it could potentially work but I figure there just absolutely have to be scalability problems. How can a human keep up with an augmented human in this day and age? Unless I take a ton of time to think about my trading and then codify it I: don't feel comfortable because I'm afraid of my...

    Inexperienced router consumer in the market for a new home router, suggestions?

    Probably not that much at all, but I figure if it's not going to break the bank you may as well have it. Bit like a protective put, yeah?

    Inexperienced router consumer in the market for a new home router, suggestions?

    Yeah, tuning wifi to be "near" wired quality (not necessarily speed, but reliability) is a *crazy* challenge. Drop distance expectations dramatically (e.g. to <15 feet), make sure the equipment is *highly* compatible (about a 5% chance different radios "like" each other), and make sure there...

    Flip of a coin..but

    True, it seems we agree then... because the order of the cards is random; just like the graphs. And, the person/people you trade/play against may not have comparable skillz ;)

    @rb7 never mentioned a "price series", just Which makes me think you've never played poker against people for money; random series but lots of money to be made nonetheless.

    It may sound like that to you, but you're certainly overgeneralizing. No one said this exactly. Testing is very useful... it's just not a panacea. There can always be unknown mishaps mid-flight.

    World is your oyster. Just fyi, there are many times I've cursed at myself and wished I just became a plumber instead. I think I probably have some kind of OCD condition that pairs nicely with software, computers, and algo trading though, lol. Blessing and a curse sort of thing. I had pretty...

    Well, this is a good point... you've mentioned SIM vs. real so many times in this thread it's become unclear when you're referring to SIM and when you're referring to real. As such, I'd suggest you keep accurate records for yourself. Else I think @Overnight might be proven right... you could...

    I don't think testing is useless. It's better than no testing. But, it can not provide absolute certainty. You know? Lol Another great quote: “In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” –General Dwight D. Eisenhower

    LOL, try and buy something with your profits from a sim account. Or better yet... report your sim account profits to the IRS at the end of the year and see what they say! AHAHAHHAHAH

    ES Journal - 2023/2024

    Love you Overnight but got to disagree here. They care about inflation exactly because they want their free-ride to continue. If it gets out of control, our currency, the only weapon better than the nuclear bomb... will collapse. If they can keep their rates just a smidge below the real rates...

    Fair hypothesis. Prove it by trying this... code up your strategy precisely and run it simultaneously in each; a SIM account and a real money account. Then come back and post your results. Here's my last suggestion to you. Since you trade momentum, try reading this. If you can't read and...
