    "Jim Simons is Correct About Trend-Following"

    Cmon, in a non pegged currency. :) Don't over leverage yourself in bullshit is a given. Inescapable means gaps. Meaning something you cannot avoid.

    Collection of the most stupid trading advice ever

    Not really true. It's a prudent form of risk management. You don't know the future - and while something could keep going past your stop it could equally reverse at some point beyond your stop. Just automatically reversing rather than taking yourself out doesn't guarantee anything. There's...

    SpreadProfessor Clients - Thanks !

    With IB you create a combo by adding the instruments in the 3rd tab after you choose combo - directed for a particular instrument you're adding. It'll say "no guaranteed, do you still want to add this?" and you say yes. You'll then get synthetic prices and you enter as normal. There are various...

    Collection of the most stupid trading advice ever

    The whole point of adding to winners is simply to let your positive equity from the original position buffer the risk of the new one. It requires that one believes in continuation - otherwise one wouldn't add in the first place. Been discussed a million times already and I don't exactly see how...

    Obama Claims Xi Promised Not To Devalue RMB

    Hah they'll find another way to devalue it or just ignore what they said and do it any way. These guys change their decisions by the day and pretend like nothing in the past was ever said or actually occurred.

    I have bought Al Brooks' Trading Course

    Having to hunt or play trivia for your definition of an acronym when I might already know the concept via a different name isn't an effective use of my time, honestly. Just because x trader used it at some point in time somewhere doesn't mean its some magical hidden grail we have to keep dancing...

    Markets are all about gathering and analysing information - and that is not efficient

    Nitro, fuel efficiency and performance mainly. There's incongruity in testing for emissions vs testing for mileage. A change in testing to measure emissions on the road (highway vs city) and then use some kind of averaging rule to determine aggregate emissions would allow both milage and...

    No Email Alerts To Subscribed Threads

    I think the problem here is an intuitive expectation from most users on how the alerts should work vs how they actually work. AFAIK, the forum roughly knows where you last read within a thread, probably down to the page level. If one gets an alert and they don't follow up on that alert...

    This is what it takes to be successful at trading (mindset)

    NQ actually hit limit down twice. There were also 2 subsequent periods of time after cash open where it displayed pseudo-limit behavior when fighting against some large supply.

    Adventures in Algorithms

    Gara, the place is what we make of it. There's tons of gold buried back in ET and while people bicker, it's easily tuned out by not enabling it via contributing to it. Myself, I hope to continue to add to the value that ET contains while attempting to filter out the noise.

    BOB? I dunno man... T-Bond vs. Ultra T-Bond spread? Kill the mystery.

    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    Somehow I'm having trouble reconciling an INTJ type with a name like BONECRUSHER but I know it's not the first time you've been messed with for that name :D

    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    Thinking vs feeling basically. That being said, I myself probably vary between INFJ and INTJ depending on context and need, and I'm sure many others do as well. Not everything is rigid and requiring of an ultra-detailed over-thought approach. I was just giving you shit anyway :-) One...

    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    INTJ, not surprised and usually score this over the years. @loyek590 would probably also be an INTJ if not for all that weed he smokes.

    Question on ES Weekly Options Margins

    I can't see any reason they'd work differently than monthlies.

    This is what it takes to be successful at trading (mindset)

    Back during the SGX A50 party days in June/July I was actually able to exploit this as a gimmicky edge. China markets were so volatile that there was a week the A50 contract would hit both limit downs (and even limit up at one point). I'd precalculate the circuit breaker levels and mark them on...
