I just try things, studies can be found to support any view you want. One advise I found was that caffeine reduces serotonin. I quit caffeine and many of the low serotonin symptoms went away after a few weeks. I had to go back on the coffee to keep up an interest in work however. I tried...

In spite of all that the economy is growing and the wage earner is starting to participate in the growth in the form of higher wages. We don't have those annoying sales calls in the evenings either. The relations with allies were only good as long as Democrats let them make billions from the...

Today is actually the first day of the rest of the mess but I never tell my clients that.

Yes, I installed the Beta of the API, which heretofore I was not aware of, and it fixed a problem I had with Hyperorder. Thanks for the heads up. I am keeping all versions of TWS and the API from now on, sometimes things are fixed by using an older version, sometimes the Beta... They force you...

Yes, it is a beautiful day at the beach. You are just enjoying everything and know that the universe will bring you knowledge about trading in due course. You hear the sea gulls and know that they find food and all they need every day, every year and you grin.... because you know the same thing...

Chapelle is renowned for sure, what an insightful guy. My mom is an Amerind, I really think us Indians are first in line for repatriations and the bill is going to be a lot bigger than the difference between a slave's income and a sharecropper's. I wish Jews had been the first here in the...

Right on!! I say if you are idiot enough to do that much work then you should go on and be a savant while you are at it :) Just kidding, please don't be offended, well mild offense is probably warranted, sorry. I went through a period like that years ago. Eventually I leaned to obsess far...

Yeah but they got vacations packaged with the deal.

What?? Those linked posts seem to say that when you upgrade your TWS you also have to upgrade the API separately. I never dreamed you would not get the whole-up-and-running-thing with one download.

Oh yeah, talking to the general public about trading is a stomach churner. I think that is why I am at this site all the time, 1) not interested in job 2)want to talk about trading 3)general public total duds in that regard. I have never been profitable because I am taking my time to develope...

You hang around with some Asperger syndrome crank for awhile and see how you like it. Eventually you have two choices, shoot them or make fun of them. We have one at work actually, we have had his going away party every Friday for years, if he ever quits [and they never do] we will let him come...

Actually I am not real sure about the part about the tighter specs. I read an article recently about how Japanese manuf. actually use looser specs and are good at making things work when things go wrong. Americans just want tighter and tighter specs to solve everything, which raises the price...

I am thinking that simply trading long and short on a lot of instruments, systematically, will keep you quasi hedged but on the right side of the markets in the case of a disaster. This might relate to this work somehow: http://noosphere.princeton.edu/terror.html I was testing systems...

Wow, a handful of guys are raping and murdering. The statistics regarding getting shot if you are 18 to 34 years old male American and a resident of Washington D.C. are worse than for the same age group in Iraq. Probably the statistics in Iraq are better regarding rape and murder as well. It's a...

Some radio commentators were upset yesterday. They felt cheated that Lay did not go to jail. Does anybody share that sentiment? The shock jocks wanted to see him with his face in the toilet and somebody pulling off his pants to administer some "tough love" :) Like that happens in club Fed...

Channels are living things, you have to kind of coach them along as they go. It helps if you are hugely leveraged, your coaching can then reach it's proper intensity.

O yeah, congress is doing such a great job with everything else, let's have them run the money supply. I can see the debate now, the Liberals are saying "screw inflation, we have a lot of poor people to take care of" and the conservatives are saying "how did we get into such a mess?" with a...

Jim, if you get an explanation from them as to what they are doing, perhaps you will remember to post it here? I heard of similar things from Ameritrade from a friend that used them. They treated him like a kindergartener once, had his funds tied up and would not let him trade for 2 weeks...

No no.... it was Ken Lay [and whoever else was deciding policy at Enron obviously] that would not let the 401k owners sell the stock when executives were dumping theirs. I saw a tv documentary on Enron last year. Ken's theology is [was actually] messed up. It is about children of God deserving...

I think the cell phone system was invented by an Iranian working for Motorola in the US actually.
