I inherited some money years back, it was all gone in a few years. I got some stolen, but for the most part I just happily blew through it, I was working on my trading skills anyhow and felt that eventually that would be profitable. I don't feel bad for people that can't hang on to money...

Same here, [i'm retail BTW though] both times the data returned I had a gap in my favor. Thanks for the heads up on the correlation, it provides a very simple answer for the data loss situation.

I always wanted a Chopper but I am risk aversive in that regard. It will be a great day for me if I find I am terminal. I can get my custom bike(s). I'll put US, Mexican and Ukranian flags on it, declare myself drug war neutral and ride until I can't anymore. It should be an especially good...

Nobody can fix South American economic problems, least of all Marxists. Why worry about it? OTOH why try to drag them into the modern world either, it's a lot of work. If they want a charity state and huge poverty who are we to question their values as long as they are not declaring war on us.

To get clues one could check pictures from Cuba for clues of starvation. Starving people generate growth hormone and over time their noses/ears enlarge. I do not know how long the undernourishment has to go on or the severity of it though. I'm going to start looking at some pictures from Cuba...

Well, yes, I think he did start writing the thing more to help himself work through things and then he decided it needed to be published. Usually books don't make it to the Non-Fiction-Best-Seller-List without some merit. That is all I have to go on regarding veracity of the author, that and the...

Everybody should read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" for sure. The US corporations/govt. is unbelievably agressive towards Latin America and the Middle East. During the Cold War they had an excuse in Latin America but nowadays?

There are plenty of causes driving the health indicators outside of the health care system. If you can't afford to drink 10 colas a day and eat junk food you won't make yourself sick. And wow, Cuba has best health care in South America, is that saying much? There is nothing extraordinary...

I just got a pop up from tradestation telling me the ECBOT is down

The Cuban embargo does not include a long list of countries, Canada is one. All commie economies, everywhere, in all of history, have been awful. In case you can't see the obvious, that means that the track record is 100% failure for commie economies. You are living proof that idealogues...

This may be a retreaded topic but how about expanding the ignore function so that if somebody is on ignore their thread will not appear? I have a lot of ignores (so many buggered threads and whack jobs- ad infinitum -ad nauseaum folks, so little time :) ) Lots of those same people initiate...

I knew a guy that worked in an old folks home, he talked about giving a guy an enema and having the guy do a projectile diarrhea stream across the room. You do that job without a protective diving suit so maybe it's up there with the sewer diving?

You get Radarscreen from Tradestation, it's been around since 1999.

Basically the OP has a good idea regarding the random trades. I never quite saw the value of that in all the time I've been system testing but to use those results to calibrate a system... kudos. Why anybody wants to develope their own trading bot however is beyond me. I can have a random...

Bye bye Madrid, thanks for the money.

The train station pic is unusual. It has many dominating straight lines but your eye is led in a circle as you view it. The colors are great [on my monitor] as well. It does not tell a classic story really, but it makes me feel like I was wavering between being lost in a train station and...

Money management may be more useful for preserving your mental capital than enhancing a system with an edge. It is necessary to have some sort of money management of course to keep losses small enough so you can stay in the game, in that regard it will enhance a system.

It most likely will be real bad for Venezuelans in the longer run but if Chavez has to sell his oil cheap to keep his regime going, and that is all that matters to communists once they are in power, then the oil buying world benefits. I kind of personally like communists, they are fun to...

It has gotten incredibley stronger over the years. I used to get large quantities of Mexican weed in the early 60's and 3 of us smoked it by the ounce. Nowadays you can get stuff that you could never smoke an ounce in a day. If it was never made illegal it never would have gotten so strong...

Bullshit, I smoked pot for years and my IQ is testing 10 points higher than it did before. The high comes from the marijuana shutting down different portions of the brain, not destroying them. I don't think that shutting down the best parts of your brain with a drug so that consciousness has to...
