Yes, like work for a living for example. The one guy they can nail consistently is the guy that gets a check and has taxes deducted from it by an employer.

Of all of those, addictive disorders are the most fun, although a little of the megalomania can liven up the day too.

I set targets by average range, a simplifiction of average true range wherein I just measure bar ranges, [high -low], and average those figures for anywhere from 7 to 14 bars back, whatever backtests the best. I update the target as Average range changes while I'm in a trade. I set stops on...

theonion.com rocks, best news source on the planet.

I can run an indicator in tradestation with dll calls to trade with IB, the same script does not run from Multicharts so far. I'm changing to trying to trade with one of MC's strategies but it won't do an intrabarorder or a limit order either, so I have to run it on a tick chart and generate the...

Trading isn't sports. There have been traders that were so succesful in the past that they spent fortunes keeping their names completely unknown to the public!! I know of one, a web search does not pull up his name!! Forget sports analogies.

actually, we need a third party that has things more well thought out than the DemPub thingy... I want : 1) consumption tax to replace the invasive, inefficient, income tax, and forget "progressive" taxation, it's a weapon aimed at prosperous Jews and Protestants that destroys the middle...

Mormonism is pretty funny. It's sort of a mix of amateur bible reader 1.0 and Masonic stuff. Their temples have Masonic symbols all over them. BTW, curiosity is considered to be a sin by Mormons!! I study and learn things continually, I had a Mormon in the next cubie at one point. I would...

this same situation exists with tradestation for many years. You have to put the expression "if lastbaronchart" in your code, then it will only act on the last bar of the chart. Whether it will act exactly the same as it would in realtime with tick by tick updating can be in question but your...

BearBelly is right, let the market tell you what it is doing first. It is like buying insurance, it costs you a little up front but later it is worth it.

Algorithms can post actually, maybe we can include headers in the NinjaTrader C# script wizard and the Multicharts scripts so bots can post... I can see it now: Bot A:You hit my offer! sucker!! Bot B: Bullshit, you've got a memory leak.... Bot C: Both of you need a money management rewrite...

What I don't understand is how the income tax reporting requirement invades our personal info area so much. We have to give up info about who we are, where we work, what we spend money on, our medical expenses, car licenses, sources of other income.. It's bullshit. I want a consumption tax, that...

This protection of denial thing is interesting... we see it a lot here on ET, probably in our daily lives as well. There are two crowds here that are in neverending conflict, the Hershey guys, who I think of as the "Hippies" of ET. They are saying, "hey, no need to backtest, no need to...

ATR is the best way I've found to set a target.

Russo demonstrated that the courts that upheld the income tax were lower courts and the court that did not uphold it was the Supreme Court. That was the message in the video of his that I saw. Maybe one of these cases is going to get to the supreme court and the law will be tossed out?

I said "pretty good" and that is what it is. Keep your little thread.

That is the conventional wisdom I guess. I have found that arguments against conventional wisdom are really, really, really futile. I'm testing on the IB sim account and getting market orders filled in the same second that are 21 points apart on the YM. Clearly testing by that method is...

Housing, if it follows the cycles of the past, should continue to decline for years to come. The reasons are obvious, lenders have tightened requirements, first time buyers are out of the game, move up buyers have nobody to sell to... forgetaboutit. It happens exactly the same way every time.

The technology available to the little guy is pretty good nowadays. I am playing with Multicharts, a dll from NinjaTrader and the TWS API. It is working fine actually... I could get let down I suppose in a black swan fast moving market if my stop market orders, which are resident with IB, did...

I have done that configuration and am running it with NinjaTrader's dll, it works fine. What header files are you referring to? Configuring the TWS API doesn't involve any files in and of itself.
