This is a reminiscence The above post from Don which mentioned Jim Fowler, both of whom worked for years to refine and advance stocks and commodities trading and to whom I am thankful. The post caused me to look yet one more time at how I got to be the way I am and secondly how any trader...

Someone ought to post these two trades in the jokes 2 thread and the 2008 P&L thread. Deleting the post after 1:56 was so cool. The SPM whipsaw kid strikes again. Everyone, please be careful tomorrow.

Cascading shows the biggest impact.

Moving these threads to chit chat was unfortunate. The market context for trading these days is very significant and fast changing as well.

I do not think he (or Trader666) understands what high Beta means. He does not see the inverse relationship of baskets and high beta. Why he cannot get in his head how eliminating predicting, risk and restrictive money management is a pragmatic practice is beyond the pale. He is now...

Here is a new idea for you. F = I ( 1 + i)^n where F = Final Capital I = Initial Capital i = profit per turn n = number of turns per year. The following set of citations are where you are changing the relative importance of things for your own reasons. These changes in...

A 400,000 run produced a result that there was no statisitcal significant difference in the third significant figure of the upper end of the cycle duration recommended. Is 400,000 a good enough sample size??? BUT just as Trader666 made the same mistake you did, an ETF is not eligible since...

I regard that post as temporary humor. When vikana gets his initial tasks done, he, you and everyone else will be able to see the humor in his mistaken assessment. In the meantime, I have been asked, by PM from vikana to NOT add substantive content to the system of PVT. We are not...

As may be seen from the two illustrations (Universe and work sheet), PVT trading is a relatively slowly changing process with respect to a trader's portfolio. This shows how easily a person can use the ingredients of PVT on a computer to display all that is of interest. Here in this...
