    Well I appreciate the respect part. I don't mean you any disrespect. There is a point to my post. Although you may consider it frivolous, the fact is I could be right in my assertions (about imbalances in the universe). You have no way of knowing. You have rejected my comments out of hand...

    tampa's journal

    Hello: As I was going to go out to dinner this evening, I realized that you are on to something important. After all it is the natural order of things as expressed by the position of the planets and their movement that really controls everything around us. In route, I realized that the...

    Actually I was not mocking. "Less than successful"? Since we do not know each other, you would have no data on which to base your assumptions. I took you seriously (for the moment). Even the part about orbital velocity :D Have you accounted for atmospheric shear during launch, I...

    Developing Trading Systems on a basket

    Equalizer: I am sorry to be sloppy in the way I form my comment. I agree with your points. The issues of stationarity and dependence are (in my opinion) the central concepts that developers must be aware of. As you may know, there are several kinds of dependence that can be found in a...

    Developing Trading Systems on a basket

    Yes I understand your point. There are (relatively) uncorellated markets. However they are (in my opinon) disappearing rapidly. Also there is the issue of stationarity. I like to test for stationarity each weekend. I find that on an intraday basis, markets cycle through periods, exhibiting...

    Smacking the ER2

    Hello: I have been looking at your chart, and I have read your first post. You say the right things. Unfortunately, at this point in your career, you lack discipline, patience and good judgement. You can obtain these things, but to do so you may need to take a step backward. In my...

    What kind of statistic tool is helpful?

    Continue to work on your sense of humor. What I am offering is the concept that you need more than a class of statistical tools to make a living. You need skills and an understanding of how to use these methods. I dont think I can say it in many more ways. You can talk abou precision all...

    What kind of statistic tool is helpful?

    Well lets be clear about this. First I DON'T have a Phd in statistics. I do have a very strong background in math. Its just my opinion, but I don't think you have to know everything about statistics to make money. You just have to know how to use the tools that work in this business. The...

    What kind of statistic tool is helpful?

    Quote "statistics is invaluable in analyzing strategy performance; what else is there? But in actual strategy itself? " Actually there is quite a lot. Statistics are used to characterize the underlying data not only for stationarity, but for independence, randomness, serial and...

    What kind of statistic tool is helpful?

    You know: I was just thinking for a second of what it is that you want. I realize that I used some technical terms that may obscure the message I want to give you. Basic statistics can help you to look at how the market works in a general way. Parametric statistics can help you to...

    What kind of statistic tool is helpful?

    How amazing: When the ignorance gets to be just too amusing, I figure I will step in and say something. Statistical tools come in all varieties. The best thing you can do for your career, is to obtain a good education in statistics. There are two broad classes of statistical tools that...

    Trading educators who are profitable and can prove it?

    Hi guys: I want to mention a couple of things. First Pete Stiedlmeyer has a new article out in the September issue of Active Trader Mag. In it he mentions that in his opinion many of the concepts underlying Market Profile are no longer workable. He believes that the way the markets deal with...

    Equivalent Futures books of the McMillan and the Natenberg Options books?

    Hello: Once you have gained an understanding of the work of McMillan and Natenberg. I would read books by Charles Cottle. Unfortunately, they are hard to come by (usually out of print). One of the best books I have ever read is "The Business of Options" by Marty O'Connell, published by...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Incredible isn't it. Now take a moment and go read the guy's posts. If you have the time read some of mine. Notice that I post charts and offer to help people. Instead of asking for money, I have asked traders to make a donation to their favorite charity (on two occasions). Since that...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Hello I received several PM's from traders who all said the same thing. Samson approached them, befriended them and then tried to market public domain trading information for a price of $6,000. Is that clear enough? Basically this pisses me off. Why? Because the information is...
