The money could have been spent better on something with a much bigger payoff. Like what? What is more important to the future of the human race than the ability of the planet to absorb the consequences of industrial production? If you sacrifice the environment for the sake of maintaining...

The whole global warming issue is too controversial and too uncertain to destroy our economy for what may well be no benefit at all. Worth remembering this in about twenty years when environmental problems are too prevalent to ignore or rationalize away. Of course, remembering won't do...

Interesting discussion here. I've learned some things from both Maverick and RogueTrader. I think one of the important things to recognize is the kids in school today are being acquainted with the problems of industrialization and economic growth. They are being educated to the realities of...

I know. "To dream takes no effort, To think is easy, To act is more difficult. But, for a man to act after he has taken thought, This! is the most difficult thing of all." --Charles Olson Thanks for posting the article.

Today was sort of another double trend day........... Response to second para.: It might be possible to find the True Range for successive market days over a long span of time, then find the average of all those measurements. Any day where the True Range is greater than average is a Trend...

Major Dallas, you have been selected for a mission of the utmost importance. What mission? Save the world. --from The Fifth Element:D

Belay that, lol. Jolly Joker.

DB, I followed your advice...two successful trades today and a positive week last week, I still felt like crap this morning, as I do just about every morning. I resolved today that from now on I will start the day by going to the gym before starting to trade. My system makes me good but I...

Listening to music, weightlifting, and conversation.

answer this directly because I don't have TS. However, to measure the relative efficiency when comparing stocks to other stocks I did this: Each day divide your gain or loss for the day by the stock's closing price. Divide the gain or loss for the day by the number of trades your system...

Hey, thanks a lot! I gotta keep movin' tonight. Here is a little something that has been around and 'round... http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3y3t2/whmte.htm

I use a coin flip classification as part of a larger overall view of the market. Say you can classify the market into one of four states. Then the coin flip will give you additional information about the likelihood of the current market state remaining the same or changing to another state...

we are all trying to learn here. My first impression on reading the article posted by Omcate was to think of Poisson Processes. I'd rather not describe these. However, just look at the way the professor describes his data in paragraph 4 and then think about how a Poisson Process works and...

this before using a different method but it works the same way every time. The key is to add the numbers you write down. All of the answers of the subtaction are divisible by 9. So when you type in your answer minus the one you circle, their is a lookup table containing all of the answers...

Where do you begin to follow the losses?

AFAIK you are right. Experience has shown me the best way for a non-qualified non-professional to deal with these troubles is not to exert so much pressure on the person they have no way out from beneath it.

That's all right. I'll not post such controversial stuff on this board, again. When I have something more to say I'll post it in my journal. Sorry to you who are offended.

That's hard but there are a lot more than 64. Count them in groups of four, then in overlapping groups of nine, etc.

"A change in thinking about what underpins the world we live in needs to occur on a large scale." As a first cut, meaning, limiting the focus of what I have said, here is a link for you guys to skim and think about. I'd like you to carry this in your mind as a microcosm of a much larger...
