    Secret Formula: Sqr(3) * Kelly Ratio?

    There is something I did understand. SQRT(3) is greater than 1, and we know that one should use less than kelly (not more than Kelly).

    Trouble buying dollars.

    The crooks in some countries need the dollar/other currencies to move their kickbacks to Switzerland/etc, since their money is not a currency. The currency issue is one of the reasons some countries like to see their people immigrate to other currency countries, so that they bring in currencies...

    Weekly Poll: August Doldrums?

    Thank you guys for the kind support--- yes I did the stupid thing which is to over leverage on this trade. Leverage has to be right only once to hurt. EUR/USD flashed for me some quick gains (from 1.3215 to 1.3195 in few seconds, and I thought I nailed it). One minute later, it turned around ...

    Bright Trading's new payout model

    You nailed it with your scenario. I doubt they will answer . Maybe the 5K account would not be allowed until your other account has generated profits that might cover the total of $5K. I would also bet that if they see something not going as they judge, they step in and cancel/freeze the...

    HPQ Halted, Why?

    It seems to me that some guys on ET may have shorted the QQQQs, and went long HPQ. Let us wish them well.

    2040 China, a 123 trillion dollar economy?!?!?!

    China, because the wealth of a nation is not about one guy, but about the sum of all guys and the environment in which they interact. I would take the Obamas anytime, and hire the Hu Jintaos for $5 an hour. If Jintao applies to work in the USA, I bet that he will not get hired, because there...

    2040 China, a 123 trillion dollar economy?!?!?!

    A free society is measured not by what you can say, but by what you cannot say (which should be none). The fact that the free thinkers in china are outside and looking in, when the less innovative guys are in control, is a symptom of the malaise. Look at their attitude. The guys who are doing...

    2040 China, a 123 trillion dollar economy?!?!?!

    I think they will fail, because they did not grasp the reason why USA has been successful. If one want to be in innovation, one needs free thinking and rule of law, wealth (which they have), capital markets (which they have). Singapore is missing the free thinking and rule of law (genuine one)...

    2040 China, a 123 trillion dollar economy?!?!?!

    1. Heech: "Why is the average American today 10x more economically productive (indisputable) than the average Chinese?" Because the American is involved in high margin businesses, while the Chinese is involved in low margin businesses. Example: the American designs a better chip (high...

    Weekly Poll: August Doldrums?

    My problem is the leverage. Sold eur/usd at around 1.3215. My thinking was that stock market would rise after open (which it did), and that EUR/USD will go down, and then I will place my stops to secure a free trade. Instead, it went to the worse level I imagined which was 1.3333. If it goes...

    Fastest Growing Religions

    Think of religion like a stock, and its adherents like a company's customers/sales. Which religions have the fastest growing rates? Name the top three. Are religions like markets in the sense that when a bull/bear markets takes hold in a religion it continues until it runs its course? Which...

    2040 China, a 123 trillion dollar economy?!?!?!

    China would get old, before it gets rich, because of the one child policy of the past. The stock market in that country would fall rapidly when the time comes, particularly given the psychology of the Chinese investing crowds.

    Weekly Poll: August Doldrums?

    Expiration is not this week, but there is the weeklies :confused: About the dollar: I went long the dollar and over-leveraged. I am already in trouble, and if EUR/USD does not come down, I will be forced to cover and with that a permanent hole will be made in the equity. I lacked discipline.

    Weekly Poll: August Doldrums?

    I did not see Shortie's thread earlier today, and I thought he gave up publishing it. The title of his last thread suggested that he may have been tired, but apparently he has more energy this time around as his thread title is inspiring and awakening... even when it suggests sleep. Keep up...
