The complete ass isyou, asshole. Innocent rich defendants whose reputations are on the line don't settle. How is news of Cosby settling out of court in a sexual assault suit going to avoid bad PR? If he's innocent, that is. If he's guilty, then a settlement is the way to go to minimize the...

Boo hoo, cry me a river, dipshit. Cosby's sexual history is topical right now so yeah, I made an on-topic post. Get over it.

I didn't accuse him, fuckwit, I said he is accused. If I talk about defeated Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, that doesn't mean I'm saying I'm the one who defeated him. If you were any more IQ-deficient, somebody would have to water you and prune you. LOL

Wow, you are a complete fucktard. Look up the word 'accused', imbecile, and realize just how much you've embarrassed yourself ... if you're one of the few conservatives who haven't become completely shameless wallowing in your little fantasy world. By the way, one of his 13 (!!) accusers sued...

I said accused, you heard convicted. Conservatives are full of shit when it comes to civil liberties and you are Exhibit A.

Yeah the Black community really should start taking moral advice from an accused sexual predator. Oy vey.

You clearly failed logic. And arithmetic. 96% != 100% And even if you acknowledge the existence of Black Republicans, clearly what you and some others are saying is that the only people who matter are White Republicans. Try not to trip on your sheet on the way out. Clubber Lang: "WTF is...

Democrat? Htf would you *know* that? Are you psychic?

The ET klanboys always come out whenever something like this happens.

"New traders go broke by taking big losses. Experienced traders go broke by taking small profits." -- Jack Schwager

The two sequences I posted have identical starts, identical finishes, identical highs, identical lows and identical durations. That's a lot to overlook. My point was that what keeps them from being exactly identical can be summed up succinctly with one word: trendiness. Sure, we can bring in...

If most traders can't determine trend direction, it's because they're as lazy and sheep-like as the genpop. Just look at the endpoints (trends are defined over specific windows of data). If the last point is higher than the first point, the trend is an uptrend, obviously. Now consider the...

Ultimately, as is often the case, the point of pinning down the definition of trend specifically is to be able to measure it. Only this will determine if the trend is tradeable. As pointed out in my thread on measuring trend, determining trend direction is easy. The hard part is determining...

If you can accurately estimate (no direct calculation is possible) the Hurst exponent (H) of a (necessarily lengthy) time series, then H > 0.5 indicates the series is more trending than not. H = 1 indicates a perfect trend (up or down doesn't matter). H < 0.5 means the series is more...

An uptrend is a series of higher highs and higher lows. A downtrend is a series of lower highs and lower lows. The word 'series' is used very loosely because imo a single instance of a HH followed by a HL describes an uptrend. YMMV.

"Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing." -- Warren Buffett

What if I WANT to rely on an indicator? Because it allows me to automate my trading strategy and free up time for other things? Because it allows me to look at dozens or even hundreds of different instruments rather than just a handful? I get it: you tried indicators and they didn't work for...

Mechanically it's always easier to buy stocks (aka go long). Short-selling involves borrowing stocks and sometimes there are no available stocks to be borrowed. But as Yogi pointed out, you have to trade in the direction of the extant trend and if that direction is down, you have to go short...
