Many many many systems are profitable in the short-run and losers in the long run. I think Oldtrader's methods are central to the market itself and therefore naturally adapts to market changes.

Discipline, Self-programming is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do in my life. Once you get into a bad habit, it is really hard to get out of it. However, entire personality changes are downright brutally hard to enact. I think it is human nature to think that we are all...

I work at a golf center. Seems like golf is a magnet for rich people, too.

BSAM, I can assure you that I post enough as it is -- I wouldn't have the extra time to be Gordon.

That would be the "O'jays" (Back Stabbers)

Gordon, I don't think Secco was being negative. I think he was, in his own unique way, telling you that you are afraid and need to just go in and find a system for yourself. We are in the same situation. I am starting ES and a journal in two weeks -- when I should have my check by then...

Well, I should have gone short but instead I went long on the hours, so I'd say I'm down right now. However, I'm going to fade next week and play the gap when I get back the week after.

You are assuming that I'm going to keep up this frequency of posts. August / Early Sept. has been an especially slow period in my life. However, starting next week you'll see a very decent drop in the number of my posts -- perhaps down to a few a week. I'm sure you will be looking forward...

OPTIONAL777, Whatever date you come up with I will purposely prove you wrong -- just like the market.

What kind of research?

whowah, Thanks. I love poker (my profile).

I don't know about the rest of the world, but if I go to a casino, it is not to make money -- it is to have a good time at tables where I bleed the slowest so I can keep the weekend long and fun.

Secco might not make a good guidance counselor but he'd sure as hell make one fine basketball coach.

plumlazy , That it is nice outside and I'd rather not be working on a Saturday -- I thought that point would be obvious?? :confused:

metooxx, I am trading hours of my precious life for a tiny paycheck from my boss.

Htrader, Kind of like the Monty Hall Puzzle. ;-)

You are half-right. The odds of spinning that wheel at any one moment says that any number should be selected randomly. However, the law of large numbers says that, as the number of trials increases, the number of probable outcomes should get closer and closer to their respective...

Am I the only one in the civilized world that is required to be at work on a Saturday?

rs7, You're right. Gambling at a casino is a losing proposition. The whole point about tripling the bet was to offset the loss of the first bet while assuming the odds would be in your favor of winning the second since it would be more unlikely to lose two 66% success probabilities in a...

What are you talking about? I just took another statistics class two semesters ago and a lot of this is still fresh in my mind. If you don't agree with something I said, then please tell me where I am wrong? A lot of people don't understand probabilities and statistics. They think they do...
