    Wormhole

    The LORD spread out the heavens at the beginning, and they will be folded up like a garment and changed at the end..... How much energy would be required to fold space forward so we could see next year's tape? Right Here: http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/tot_operation_schedule.html :D

    How to start learning about trading?

    Buy low sell high. It works best in the direction of the longer timeframe wave. Don't overthink it; even the humble MACD indicator is useful, though I use an ma cross :eek:

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    I agree, if we're talking stops that are too tight..... One of the best mean reverting algos I've tried had a profit target 1/10 the size of the stop and just faded the BB.... Even better if the tiny target becomes a tight trailing stop after a very small positive excursion. Flipping...

    is now the best time to go short?

    I've seen the light, and it is the MACD indicator, especially when you have higher highs & lows and fast moving averages above slow moving averages. Then you can throw down some trend lines for decoration. All these TA tactics are saying one thing: The Trend is up.

    is now the best time to go short?

    So guys, The Market exploded to the upside today. I'm a little surprised at how it refuses to go down, but my Macd indicator gave a good hint, though hard to believe :eek: CB's all over the world are beginning to mimic The Bernanke. Free money for dip buyerz? :confused:

    How did you grow your account into a big one?

    I can't relate to taking a $50k to $.5mil but aside from just piling into some pharma company that invents the next Big Thing and riding it for a 10 bagger, here is another way, if you are a system trader: Step 1: reduce your drawdowns while keeping return the same Step 2: slowly add...

    Fed will start tapering QE in September

    This might be significant. FED hinting at the end of QEn's has usually started the topping process, over the past four years. The real wild card now is how all the other competing CB's are devaluing this time, no longer trying austerity. FED could just be sensing their moment to unload...

    Any good structure for a simple self-made backtesting platform?

    I'm not a programmer by profession, so what little I know is from programming backtests on commercial platforms. But an array sounds like the way this would be done (trying to remember back from highschool electives & pascal programming classes). I think excel based backtests run as...

    Any good structure for a simple self-made backtesting platform?

    Most back testing structure I've seen is based on bars as units of calculation. For example, each bar is a data point that is used to calculate when to buy or sell. So if you are using the close of the bar as your price data, once each bar closes your program does the calculation again...

    is now the best time to go short?

    You can read anything between the lines, and it is usually your subconscious fears that tilt the interpretation one way or another. I don't think you are an idiot. I think you are over-thinking the situation to justify your feelings. [b] Some make money, most do not......

    is now the best time to go short?

    Syntax error. "Seems" does not exist in the database of Trading Vocabulary..... Strike 1 Evidently you do not trade based on tested rules, setups, exits or risk management parameterz. Strike 2 Long small caps, Ben Bernanke is taking the other side. You are a very valuable...
