    trend following delusion shattered

    This is some new age fluff from the movie "What the bleep do we know". It is a new age urban legend that the natives could not see Columbus' ships. Simply not true unless they were blind. If this represents your best thinking hershey you better step up your meds.

    Is Trading like Gambling?

    I believe my example explains all small losing retail trading along with low wager Vegas gambling. Although strictly speaking ( without adjustment for value to the individual) it is a negative expectation foray, after value adjustment for the worth of the possible outcomes versus worth of the...

    Is Trading like Gambling?

    Actually, I consider the expectation of a lottery bet to be positive. Here is why: I consider $1.00 as meaningless or zero (0). I consider $10,000,000 as meaningful and at face value. If the odds of winning are 1 in 10,000,000 then the expectation for that lottery is as follows : 10,000,000...

    Equities lead futures? Or futures lead equities?

    Index data as broadcast is calculated on last trades. There is no minimum tick value for the index as there are for the futures contracts. Therefore, in a mathmatical point of view, if for example the ES trades higher by a tick it will be at a minimum .25 greater than the last trade in the ES...

    GOLD has topped !

    To bet FOR gold is to bet AGAINST the monetary system. The system is rigged. If you win the bet FOR gold, the system will not allow you to realize your win. Emergency Executive orders and so on. OTOH the dollar will lose 2-3% annually, but hand to mouth sheeples w/o wealth will earn 3-4% a year...
