Odds are odds. The odds that any three digit number (that is picked twice in NY) is selected is 1 in 1000. Since two lotterys are held daily in NY (afternoon and evening), the odds are 1 in 500. Now, the S&P odds are a lot more complicated. Suffice to say, you would need to really...

Gordon has been asking questions for a long time and now apparently is researching Chaos theory. I am telling you Gordon, you do not want to go down *THAT* road.

Torn, Like someone said in another ground, if you are making a market with 5 contracts, you're probably trading the wrong month.

Well, all I need to do is get that auditory program to make music out of price movement and then hook up one of those vibrating back massager chairs to the volume levels (so more volume makes the chair vibrate harder) and I'm home free. Screw graphs!

Platypus, Exactly! How many times do you hear a song in your head and then flip on the radio and it is playing? How many times do we turn the TV set on and just "know" what the next word is going to be? How come, when the phone rings, sometimes we know it is going to ring right before...

The New York Lottery is drawn TWICE a day -- so the real odds are actually 2 in 1000, or 1 in 500. Still, it is rather errie. I don't think it suggests that there is anything more going on, but it is just more foder for the next "Amazing Facts" book.

Gordon, Is that what you will look like before you decide to start trading again?

RunningBear, So true. You are the man -- but I'm curious about something. With a name like "RunningBear," do you have a natural bias for being short or from chasing bears and being LONG?

Platypus, Pretty soon, you'll have a guy in a nice black suit convincing you that he's with the Secret Service and that he needs you to break some codes for the Government. Then you'll probably start seeing some old friends from college that were actually never at your old college. Keep...

I'm sure there are more directives coming straight out of their directive churning machine. The next thing you know, they'll be telling you when you can trade and what days you can be short and long. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays will be LONG days Tuesdays and Thursdays will be SHORT...

These fucking SEC rules are getting way out of hand. They need to stop regulating so much and start focusing on other things like corporate fraud, accounting errors, etc.

Jesus people. Don't bust my balls. If you have an honest question, just ask -- but I'm not going to get into a knowledge pissing contest with people twice my age. My little weener doesn't pee that far.

Gordon, Stop searching for the holy grail. How many times does it need to be said? The only way you're going to learn is by doing -- there are no short-cuts. If there was a sure-fire step by step procedure to making mucho money in the markets, don't you think everyone would be all over...

topmo, Damn, I lost some on WCOM. You wouldn't happen to know which Circuit City this kid works at? The least he could do is thank me for giving him some money.

Gordon, I think one of the biggest points you are missing on this board is the fact that systems are personalized towards everyone. You may emulate everything oldtrader does but not get the same results. I am a beginner but I need to start somewhere. My system does well on paper, but...

ddefina, LOL. 2.5+ average points per day on a 100 lot and you call that a small living. Your modesty is admirable. Keep up the great work and if you need any tips on your golf game, PM me.

OldTrader, You and I are on the same wavelength. I've ditched all the TA indicators except moving averages. I'm not experienced enough to work just off price and volume -- I need some type of crutch to get a feel for market direction until I can get to the level where I don't need MA's...

nitro, Sounds simple enough. Alright, I'm going to go watch the rest of LOTR. I am pooped and my head is spinning from reading too many posts. Sleep well everyone and no hard feelings. Hope everyone kicks ass tomorrow.

Nitro et. al. Seriously, if I start with one contract, how do we compare performance? Return on investment? For the day?

metooxx, That was mean. :mad:
