http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/a-new-kelly-formula.291307/ This formula is unique throughout all of public trading material and it works. If that's not HoF material, I don't know what is.

According to the theory behind the Hurst exponent, a time series can be trending (HE values close to 1), anti-trending (HE values close to 0) or random (HE values close to 0.5). A trader can profit from trending or from anti-trending but nobody profits from random except through pure dumb luck...

When I first studied trading many years ago, one of the first things I learned was The 4 Cardinal Principles of Trading : 1 Trade with the Trend (aka Follow the Trend). 2 Cut losses short. 3 Let winnings run. 4 Manage Risk (aka money management). Somewhere along the way VN violated one...

What about just finding threads started by a certain member in select forums rather than all forums? For some members, this can make a substantial difference in the search output.

Da noive o' dat guy! :mad:

You've replied to a post that's almost 12 years old. I know my own strategy has changed more than once over that time period.

Sounds like chickenshit racism to me. Cowards like TGregg want to express their racism while pretending they're really not by using a derivative of the original insult that they stupidly believe only like-minded people are intelligent enough to figure out. It's part of the mindset where the...

Conservatives continually get this wrong. Freedom of speech means someone can't be locked up for being a bigoted foul-mouthed ignoramus. It does NOT mean his ass can't be fired for violating workplace rules of conduct, or removed from situations like cussing up a storm in a playground full of...

You really should develop a trading plan before trading, even in a demo account. Otherwise you're just practicing bad trading habits even as you struggle to develop a plan with an edge (positive expectation).

Want to be a doctor? Get out there and start experimenting on the indigent. No need to read any medical books. Want to be a writer. Just start writing, no need to study grammar, spelling, vocabulary, plot devices, character studies, etc. See how silly this can get? Trading is far more...

That's not what a troll is. Baron already gave a perfect example earlier in this thread, you should look it up. I have no problem entering a thread that's moderated. If my input isn't welcome, so be it. The people squealing the loudest about this change are the very ones who've been trolling...

Looking back in this thread, it is simply amazing, not to mention amusing, how the idea of letting OPs moderate their own threads causes so many trolls to just lose their minds. "It's da end o' da woild, I tells ya!" LOL

Nonsense. Censorship would be preventing you from starting your own thread expressing disapproval of the subject matter. That's not going to happen. Now you'll just have to work a little harder to express your opposition. No more crapping all over somebody else's thread just because he likes...

Thanks for starting this thread. Progress has been made as a result. :)

All will be revealed when you subscribe to his pricey newsletter. :D :D ;)

See? No need for a dislike button. Man up, speak your piece or STFU. Now go back to whining for your backstab button like the lazy turd-goobling little bitch we all know you are.

Bad idea. Back when we had the rating system there was at least one psycho who spent most of his time and multiple sockpuppets down-rating the threads of people he didn't like. Thread quality didn't matter. Thread topic didn't matter! All that mattered to that wackjob was how he felt about the...

Good advice overall. You have to be willing and ready to give something if you expect to get something, especially from a stranger. I still think the best advice is to be your own mentor. I've gotten guidance from some great posts here and elsewhere but the best ideas I've had are still the...

Agreed on both points. It matters. MM is not edge. This is most glaringly obvious with casino games. If you play casino craps, no MM scheme in the world will save your betting account in the long run simply because you don't have the edge. Your opponent (the house) has the edge. If you play...
