I would like to do a game theory experiment that is parallel to the "prisoner problem." I will need volunteers to assist in this experiment (this is going to be a lot of fun for those who sign up). Everyone who signs up for this experiment will be paired with another EliteTrader...

Mathematical logic problems like these are usually very difficult to solve. When I first heard the Monty Hall problem, it took me some time to grasp what was taking place. Sooner or later you get used to being amazed.

Hopefully someone different from the one you are currently seeing.

Are you in love with me? You're a freak.

I thought you said in a previous message that STOPS were now held native on Globex and not IB? Now Globex doesn't support them? Globex will cancel a GTC? That's good to know!

The new Harry Potter movie is out. I'm thinking about seeing it tonight!

Another great example of pure game theory.

You aren't kidding. It has potential huge implications for hamming codes, information compression, etc. For those who don't know the puzzle, here it is: (Try to really think it over before searching the net for a solution). THE THREE HAT PROBLEM: Three men enter a room and are each...

This is incorrect.

Yeah, thanks for the advice. I'll take it into consideration.

More fun polls for ET.

BobCathy, Part of the ET experience is getting pushed to the brink of leaving, then coming, then leaving, then coming -- until your skin grows so thick you could give two shits what the next guy thinks/says/posts about you.

To be gold is to be good; To be stone is to be nothing; To be glass is to be fragile; To be cold is to be cruel. Unmetaphored, what am I?

Good point. I'm not really frustrated, though. However, I do want to run my own studies on ES. Basically, except for a very small percentage of people on ET, I am starting to get the feeling that ET is swarming with liars who claim profitability through ET. Why do I make such a huge...

"To make a small fortune it is best to start with a larger one."

Here is a poll that is directed towards truth. If you have lied on ET about your profitability, think of this poll as a way to redeem your sins. If you have lied on ET about your profitability and then lie on this poll, then you are scum and deserve whatever happens to you later in life...

It is kind of like standing at a coke machine after you've been outside all day in the hot scorching sun. You put in your 50-75 cents and push the button and nothing happens. Sweat is now pouring off your forehead and stinging your eyes while you start pounding the button. "Gimme my...

I understand that if ES is trading and I put a limit order in, it is FIFO. However, if it is trading at 900 and I want to buy at 905 and want to be first in line to do so, will a stop-limit work correctly? I'm assuming Globex handles stops sitting at a certain price to turn into market...

That GAP is going to fill at the hard right edge

Here are my own observations that I have made that are helping me to improve: Tendency to grab a profit while letting losing trades grow large At the beginning, I consistently allowed losses to get somewhat large relative to my winning trades (3 to 1 in size). I would cut my losses at a...
