    Optimization of a trading system with avoidance of curve fitting.

    Well, gosh, the chart makes perfect sense to me. Outdoor work is always more comfortable when the temperature is cooler. Pirating isn't nearly as fun in the heat. :cool:

    Broken System

    Be careful what you ask for. I've lived in a country with a military dictatorship, and you don't want any part of it. If you're ready to give up your personal freedoms so that you can answer to some "authority figure" who you think can cure our ills, then I invite you to spend some time in...

    Who rides motorcycles here? Lets see them!

    An accident that in a car is a minor fender-bender can kill you on a bike. The fun is not worth the risk with all the crazies on the road. I owned 4 bikes, almost lost my life on the last one, and walked away forever, feeling lucky that I beat the odds.

    Richard Dawkins on Rick Perry = slam dunk.

    The fact that you can even think about E-MCsquared is a result of your evolution from slime. So which is the more powerful?

    Another veteran has passed

    I share your memories, as I buried my father a couple years ago at a national cemetery. WWII, Korea, Vietnam pilot. The ceremony was overwhelming and one of the most vivid experiences of my life.

    Have You Been Here? Need Your Wisdom

    I was in a very similar situation, having sold a small company that yielded a nice payoff, but not enough to 'retire' on. So I began trading 10 years ago. Here's what you need to understand. The odds are very small that you will ever succeed in consistently profiting from trading. And...

    What are some good educational resources for a beginner?

    LOL. "Adjust your strategies accordingly?" Did your options broker give you a crystal ball telling you what the VIX is going to do next week? All these strategies are a nice intellectual challenge and look good on paper. But in the real world, you'll have the fun of trying to unwind a...

    The Trader in Prison

    Illiquid is correct. Nothing, including autotrading, will remove anxiety from trading. It comes with the job. The objective is not to run away from it, but to face it and deal with it. "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself." - FDR

    Do we need another dumb ass Texan for president?

    Is that all?

    Do we need another dumb ass Texan for president?

    Be careful what you ask for. Obama would not be at the top of anybody's Best-Pres list, but he walked into a shitstorm from Bush that is still raging. What would you do differently, realizing that as President you don't have unlimited power?

    The mystery has finally been revealed

    I also see no advantage in belonging to the site. For what reason would I want to display my actual account records for the world to see? The security risk alone gives me the shakes. But good luck with it. (And why don't you just go ahead and reveal yourself as being associated with...

    What are some good educational resources for a beginner?

    I got started by losing 1/2 of my net worth in options strategies. For all the time it would take you to even begin to master how to make money consistently with options, you would be MUCH better off developing strategies for the underlying. Trading options is not at all unlike walking...

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Hello. I am happy to be of help. 19% of the current federal debt is owned to the Social Security Trust fund. $2.67 trillion dollars has been spent from this fund to provide for operation of the federal government. In place are non-negotiable "special bonds". Stand by while I calculate...

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    I will help you engage in the test. Put a question to me that is typical of one on this site. Something like, "What should I trade to make me rich? I have $4,000. to invest." You will receive a response. And you judge whether or not the response is human or computer.
