    The wolves keep testing

    I say blow the castles and don't take credit for it, tell the world it must have been somebody else.. Obama could just give his Alfred E. Neuman look when they ask him if he blew up any castles lately...

    Volume--- how to use it and WHY

    I dunno.. I've been doing some work on the relationship between accum dist, volume and price. I'll check but I'm fairly certain that volume bars will not show this relationship at all... edit: I really don't think that volume bars close the loop around anything, they might be useful in some...

    Money Won't Buy Happyness

    One famous singer said it's lonely at the top but it's crowded at the bottom... A Chinese proverb says it takes two weeks to get used to wealth but a lifetime to get used to poverty of one loses the wealth.. I'll settle for profitability anytime and it better be soon. It might not make me...

    Volume--- how to use it and WHY

    I've been all down that fricking road. Change the start time of your first bar and a winning system can be turned into a losing one. You cannot completely escape the time factor. This is an unbelievable thread, there are three guys here with 12,000 posts between them telling us volume is not...

    You either have it or you don't, consider this supported argument

    Most Nobel Prize winners have IQs that are not all that far above average. What they do have is persistence. Maybe that comes from believing in what they are doing or whatever but they typically work for fifteen years on something before they publish. Traders don't publish because they succeed...

    Jobless Claims

    I have a friend that went from successful contractor to homeless in the last couple of years... I think he might be on crack too, drugs and alcohol is a large part of most failed people that I've ever seen...

    Forensic Economics

    Nobody should get a performance bonus based on individual merits. An overall bonus shared equally is probably ok. Doctors in HMO's will let people die to enhance their bonuses, that is how nuts some people are about bonuses.. it just should not be done...

    Staffer at SEC Had Warned of Madoff in 2004

    I recall an FDA spokesperson that announced that it was impossible for nuclear material to be stolen in the USA. A few days later they found him dead of a gunshot stuffed in the trunk of his car along with some stolen nuclear material. When financial activists reach the fervor that environmental...

    Neale whining about bloggers now?

    All these shows are more like sitcoms, they should have laugh tracks... I like it when somebody posts video of when somebody like Peter Schiff was right about the housing bubble and the shows had other guests that were laughing at him.... Such experts we have, few of them ever get ANYTHING right...

    How do you trade low-volume markets?

    The thing is that by the time you screen for volume, price, and exchange on the lower volume issues there are surprisingly few tradeable candidates. The only upside is that their big moves are really big in comparison to higher grade issues. If you want to limit your exposure to risk they can't...

    You can tell how free a country is by how treasonous this statement sounds.

    I did rebel against the establishment, I voted for Obama.. oh wait... never mind..

    GS Stoned

    Yeah, Rolling Stone articles.. I've seen some real doozies there, usually they are like conspiracy theories, really gripping but you can't really prove or disprove them or the spin is magnificent in it's sweeping indictment of behavior that may not really have been that bad... interviews with...

    IB developers suck, I can't trade FX with IB

    IB's software development doesn't seem to have any designers. Is it a bunch of coders just winging their little part of the project? Is management weak and allows bullying guys to take over other guys parts of the projects? Is management so weak that they protect the losers and talentless at the...

    What happened? Trading was supposed to give me freedom, Now I am working like a dog

    I used to do that in the nineties, buy the dips on my lunch hour [PST] and sell in the morning. I never got it down to five minutes but they didn't have a lot of the software then either... it's funny, people were against holding overnight, then more recent research shows that the overnight gaps...

    The Pope is now an Economist.

    Proverbs says "let an evil man borrow so a good man can have a job".. if you think about that you realize that in God's view the purpose of an enterprise is for the people that work there... I've worked for a couple of organizations that seemed to get that and a dozen or two that did not, the...

    How do you trade low-volume markets?

    In order for a bar, say a time based bar which is what most traders look at afaik, to have meaning it has to have a certain amount of input, a certain amount of trades in it... if you have a thinly traded instrument you will have to back off your time frame in order to have enough input per bar...
