Also a lot of it is knowing how to follow a system and finding one that works. Too many traders trade purely based on speculation and emotion. There are a lot of possibilities in the market if you can follow a system.

I like the quote about losing your opinion and listening to the market. Many people forget to do that and they try to trade the market based on their own feelings instead of what the market is actually doing.

Agreed. Learning from mistakes is key as well. If you keep making the same mistakes over and over, you’re going to lose eventually.

That’s weird… When I clicked on the link it came up as a 404? Anyone else experiencing that?

To me, keeping with the automated system is key. Emotions are what destroys trading because everyone loves to pick a winner or call the bottom on the market. We like to make a prediction and have it come true. That’s why gambling is so popular. But the market is structured to take advantage of...

It's an interesting social experiment. College is basically what you make of it - some people I look at clearly should never have gone to college whereas others benefit immensely from it. Some people get scholarships and subsidies that provide a stable, safe place for them to experiment and test...

Agreed, I love the OP poster's point about buying stocks and going to the beach. Message boards are way too negative. Yes the market may go through a bear cycle soon, but that's normal, as will be the bull cycle after. That's why they call it a cycle… Markets go up and markets go down.

Thank you for having posted a link to the opencourseware site – I had no idea such a thing existed. This will be great for me to learn more about programming!

That’s BS. They won’t let Bank of America go down no matter what it does, for example. It would erode too much confidence – it’s just feel good talk for taxpayers.

All bull markets will have to come to an end, the question is just when and how. At some point the DOW will probably be 10k again, and at some point it might even be 20k. We don’t know – with the Fed pumping in a lot of liquidity, it would not surprise me if we kept going higher though.

I’m now inspired to follow chess more. It’s an incredible game and you can learn more in it than anywhere else about logical thinking and solving problems.

Right, exactly. I like the concept of both the school and the student having something to gain by giving students a good education. That way the value of education is only as great as the job market.

Hmmm… I guess that is true. There are already a ton of financial “educational” opportunities out there that are nothing but scams. Still I like the idea of an education where the employer gains something by giving you skills that get you hired.

I wonder if they’d ever have anything like that for trading? Send your kid to a trading bootcamp and take 15% of the profits. Hey doesn’t sound like a bad idea for them – if the school doesn’t put up any capital they’re never out anything.

"I wanna see the show, but I can't. Where do I get the proxy server?" Once that's up, I'll respond with some details on how to get set up. After which, whichever id you choose, can thank me for providing the details and maybe ask a follow-up question like, "if you don't mind me asking...

A good point, Ed Breen. :)

Interesting and good thread. Maybe as they say "One needs to spend to get something" holds true.

Yes, please we would like to see examples. Thanks :)

The latest release of TradersStudio is good and has lot of features. Could you please tell us of any new better methods (functions etc.) to check out the markets relationships?

How true, it seems some trading rules remain valid over the years. :) Besides, it also reconfirms the importance of backtesting in trading world.
