ProgrammerGuy hasn't gotten back to the thread so I'll put in my two cents. You can verify results of backtesting by doing out of sample tests, there is nothing prohibiting you from doing that. 3D views of results are valuable as well. Multicharts has that feature, there are addons for...

Like that is going to happen while they are watching television and surfing the internet and their diet does not nutritionally support their brain.

Work is nonprofit. That is what WIN stands for. I was taking anthropology at the local community college. The prof. mentioned that hunter gatherers work two hour days and have the rest of the time to "articulate their culture". I knew from my other reading that they also have better diets [well...

From Oscar's youtube video today [I sure don't know anything about commodities or what people with lots of money do but it's worth a mention here]: When people get margin calls they don't unload their stocks, they unload commodities. Maybe they got margin calls and decided to toss the silver out...

Oscar's freebie thing on youtube is actually informative. I watched one before and forgot about it. It's good to hear from a floor trader guy and get a real perspective on how people like that trade. I don't like the yelling but hey, the guy did yelling for a living...

Some ignore statistics would be good, maybe not all that prominently displayed but in a statistics section, a list of user names over some threshold of ignores, maybe 20, would be ok with me. It would be a reminder for people to try to keep it civil and informed, if that is possible on an...

Thank you, and thanks some more... Every thread on edges, auto trading, trading, losing, winning, SCT, ad infinitum used to get buggered by the money management/ statistics gurus who, I am sure, know all there is to know and make loads of money.... just like all the economics gurus in the econ...

Are you planning a takeover of some kind :D

It's true, I live in a small town that went to zero real estate value when peace broke out in the 90's or whenever it was. Mexicans bought houses during the recent real estate run up and upped our total value by one Billion dollars!! That makes me think that if things don't unwind in a good way...

I see others have diversified away from windows. I'm still debating what is most secure. I can have income from manual trading while I'm working all this stuff out, no pressure on me at all. Security questions are making me crazy however. I wonder if a linux box set up as a firewall is better...

In 1993 it was "Newt", then "Bush" for recent years, today's subcategorial version of Bush is "Ben".. fricking idiots all over the place krapping up the forums and the public discourse in general, all they accomplish is a little twinge of the stomach and the use of the ignore button..

The sellers of the CDO's are not entirely out of the picture from what I hear, correct me if I'm wrong. They sell the portfolio but they keep the risk from defaults. Nobody mentions this.

The Fed can save face by holding the rates where they are for a while to save the consumers when the credit crunch spreads to that sector later on.

Politics is lies and dirty tricks, that's about it. Occasionally somebody is in a position to do some good but they are limited in what they can do..... Ann Coulter is great, I want to give her 5 children, at least, yess...

If i have that urge to not waste food I ask "is this really food?". If it's white flour,sugar, soft drink, fried, etc. the answer is no and I consider it s possibly more entertainment than food and I just do a little of it. A little coca cola in polite company, to be sociable, for the...

even fruit sugar burns up a little too fast. Cinnamon with fruit is a good thing, tasty too. About 1/8 teaspoon helps you regulate sugar metabolism. It's free at most restaurants [you might have to ask for some on the side, they all have it in the kitchen somewhere] and coffee places too.. back...

Not random data, you take all the real signals but you do a random ordering of them and repeat it. Each repetition will represent a different account with the difference being sort of which is a lucky trader and did not get a big drawdown and which is unlucky. Or just take all the worst signals...

There is plenty to what Jack says. We could all rate ourselves with that document he provided for download. Currently I don't do the "in all the time" thing because every exit I have is pretty much a prelude to an entry and I am willing to pay some money in the form of lost revenue to lock in...

Sitting and waiting while in a trade is harder than sitting and waiting for a trade. The risk is different, waiting for a trade the risk is that you miss something, in a trade your money is on the line. That is the human element. In reality your money is on the line no matter what due to...

No, no, no, no..... you're too old to get another job, the jerk you work for hates your religion and he has the perfect little tattler working right next to you, and they are a team... I had that situ, I stuck around until they fired me while I was learning the trade biz.. and currently 50k...
