agree with nononsense by buying first and later selling higher or by selling first and later buying lower. From the song: "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers: you have to know when to hold them you have to know when to fold them you have to know when to walk away you have to know when to...

mummy's daughter asks: if daddy's boy thinks that trading stocks look like kindergarten then why is daddy's boy trading options? does daddy's boy want to be macho or does daddy's boy want to make money? (in kindergarten it should be easier....) what is mummy's daughter missing? thank...

LOL, when dad was working he had flashy sports cars (Toyota Supra, had three of them) and when he traded he drove around in an old Toyota Cavelier (rebadged Chevrolet Cavelier, same car). Maria

garbage in = garbage out if you know what to feed the NN then you do not need the NN, you can more accurate "visualise" it yourself how does a NN know when to include a spike due to news or not to include it? When does the NN take care of a holiday or luchtime? etc etc Waste of time

My late father was an expert in artificial intelligence - Neural Nets, Genetic Programming, Rough sets. He started out witha NN system and eventually that broke down. Then he made a 100% mechanical system and eventually that stopped working. He then devised a discretionary system and that is...

Plenty of other brokers, why waste your valuable time arguing with them. Just open an account elsewhere and transfer your money.

ROFL If you are as observant in trading as in studying then I am afraid you won't get very far. Deeman posted a grand total of 52 posts and the last one was in 2002..... You may be waiting a very long time for Deeman to give a reply.... :cool:

And in the end of times the air, the water and the soil will be polluted.....We need only to take one look at China and the polution of the water there, the airpolution worldwide, the global warming and the melting of the polecaps... Then there is the frankenstein company who is selling seeds...

Some people are not using mechanical systems but are using "discretionary" systems with a different ruleset from mechnical. (ps the "discretionary" system can have been just as much tested as a mechanical and depends also on a firm rule set. Except that often these are implemented in such a way...

I do agree. If I look at systems presented here on ET I see ( in almost all cases ) that at least one, often more, essential ingredient is missing to make an informed decision. Often these systems are a combination of the same indicators packaged in a different format but still depicting the...

I may be mistaken but I think that it was also mentioned in Jesse Livermore's book. (when he was right on the direction of the market but had the timing wrong and when the move came about he was broke) Maria

If we see how few are able to agree on the notion "do trends exits?" then we can start to contemplate on how few are able to determine objectively what kind of directional move they are presently in. Lets not even talk about if they are able to do this in a timely fashion while the directional...

I work on a computer project for myself. They normally stop asking any questions after that. (Yes, I need to access the internet a lot, I do a lot of research on how to do certain things, lol) Maria

still no answer - why change from the futures (where you were reportedly profitable) to stocks? Jesse Livermore: "It was my sitting that made me the money, you hear that: my sitting tight!" Maria

Why do people want others to believe they are winners? Ego. They want others to tell them how smart they are. The real clever ones don't do this, only those who have the blinkers on. Maria

Bonds => down Dollar => down Imports => up Exports => down Foreign money subsidizing the economy / war-mongering through buying bonds => leaves the country for better shores How does this put the economy in a better shape? How is the government now going to fund this big hole...

Let us know if you ever succeed in using functions in TS2000i that were introduced after TS2000i. Like to know how it can be done. (As far as I know the GlobalVariable.dll does not work with TS2000i) Maria

Good remark. Even Richard Wyckoff mentioned to trade NOT more than 10 shares when starting out. You have to figure out where the weaknesses in papertrading are: eg do not use limit orders as in real life limitorders are visible and the market reacts to those. Also limit orders do not get...

Then it sounds that something else is happening on your machine - some conflict with a driver or software. Are you using antivirus / antitrojan / third party software firewall / anti spy software? Or are you using your machine for surfing the internet? (This is why I do not surf on my trading...
