Sit with your mentor when you trade. Trade each other's accounts in parallel.

The "Why predict?" thread has had some interesting twists and turns. Let step it up another notch. Presenting the market as a system is a good first step. Any system could be used; there are lots of choices. Common among most systems would be their characteristics with respect to...

You are correct about your situation. I hope you have collected all your posts form 2003 on and put them in a binder. Read them from the present to the first ones. Highlight the breakpoints in orientation by adding a colored sheet as a divider. For example this OP is a good one. the...

You may want to deal with the market a little bit. From my point of view, trades happen rarely during the day (20 to 40 times, for example). The time between actions is what happens most of the day. Therefore, you may wish to be helpful about the next trade coming up and explain the...

My general opinion on college students as it related to the financial industry is to learn to make money. That is why I reviewed the courses at Baruch and made the recommendations that I did. Travel is not part of going to college. Once you have read the popular literature on quants...

One of your offers was a polite decline, made to you with the understanding that you would not take it.

z32000, As background you may want to check two parts of the daily Activity. One part is the comparison of the open period of markets and the closed period of markets. The open period is much less time than the closed period. If you make a long term graph of prices for each, you will see...

Read some of the SFI papers; they hit all these topics.

continuation.... What fuels the capacity of your output? Past challenges presented to me whether desired or not. In the end, thinking critically most of the time is what enlarges capacity. Losing count of deaths, whether necessary or uncecessary, allows a person to grow to be able to...

your 's are OT for this thread but I will answer (See colored parsings) It's a funny thread anyway; as you know nitro put me on ignore the second post I made long ago. LOL.

lol try reading the thread.

Here is a reference to a current idiot level comment along the lines of the random belief system: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=100474

Right. So Nitro is designing a graphing machine. He takes that and uses it to do trades. Oh. did you notice that you can never tell when the graph is going to go back to neutral.... ??? LOL... Can you imagine how slow it is relatively speaking? Sure that is a simple calc too...

Anyone can take a look at the trading world. It is a complex of pools, instruments, markets and players. All are surrounded by the businesses of the financial industry which is driven by sales people who garner money for deals. The delightful thing is that there is no competition for...

Hi lj, Market solutions are not singularities. There are many and many presumed solutions are not solutions. The non-solutions are simply ATS "hope" machines as you have pointed out. A corrollary to this is anyone's ability to exercise the right to invent market instruments. These can...

You are incorrect. Feel free to follow your beliefs. They are unfortunate. Your example of the car, the driver, the intersection, the rules of the road and, most of all, the time involved is easy to rebut step by step from a trader's viewpoint who is making money by not predicting...

As cocaine says "you don't get it." You first paragraph has absolutely zero content that applies to many trading systems whether manual or ATS. Specifically. I am in the market all of the time. I continually perform a series of tests that give me a set of binary answers. One of the...

Your thinking is badly screwed up. For many reasons, to make money, prediction is simply not a necessity. You, so far, are unfamiliar with the reasons and reasoning, in general. Making money, as a goal, takes some thought. Early in this thought process, for those who are going to...

Google Consort or US122 or King's Cruiser or Gothemburg, Sweden. Also see Yatching Magazine back issues. Look for photos there.

Cool thanks for posting the chart. If you feel like it post something that shows something. The annotations on the chart are there to help you and they are not trades. I am just guessing but your chart doesn't look like it made any trades at this point. Did it? Put up a 5, 13, 6...
