I salute you for your prescience. Several time it has been claimed that "the whole european scenario is old news" and people got burned. Can I ask what fraction of your correctness in gauging that (for now) "the whole european scenario is old news", you consider to be down to luck? Thx D

I believe it does. But in America the term has been warped, for political reasons, to mean things that it is not. Socialism is both a political and economic framework and to be discussed in its proper context should be looked at on a national scale. Communism is arguably the extreme expression...

It would be helpful if you would take the time to read what I say rather than seeing what you want to see. You will see that I said, paraphrasing, that socialism does not "require" faith. In that sense it is faithless. I don't think I'll need to say any more though I suspect I may have to.

It is, if that's how you choose to interpret it. If you consider the text of the original post then it should be clear that the context of the phrase "Socialism is indeed faithless" refers to its not "requiring faith". Since I'm not throwing around wildy inaccurate assertions regarding...

Please explain how a "well run car insurance operation" is socialist? I want to see how far off beam your (mis)understanding of socialism actually is. I don't expect a reply but will respect any attempt at contriving an answer. I do find it remarkably consistent how posters on these boards...

Disagree. It requires that people do what human nature dictates. No faith required. Socialism is indeed faithless, as is every other non-theological politico-economic framework that comes to mind. I must say that i find your hypothesis that a ghetto is an example of socialism laughably...

Hi, I've set this up and the logic works well. But there is a flaw with the implementation. At the end of each contract all positions are exited. These would need to be reinstated against the next contract. That is, the positions will need to be rolled over. And, it would need to be exit at...

BTW, are the "From Dates" and "Too Dates" taken from Pinnacle or elsewhere? How did you derive those numbers? Thx D

Hi, Am I right in thinking that this code needs to be run from a tradeplan? And a session will need to be set up for earch contract instance? If so, shouldn't the "ok to trade" logic sit at the tradeplan level? Thx D

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I've had this product for a while now and it's still surprising me... Also, what I think you're referring to here is the ability to define your own rolling criteria? And also, to be able to calculate entries based on first contract, which may not have...

Hi, I have a need to do some testing against a series of individual contracts (not the usual back-adjusted stuff). Can you tell me if Tradersstudio, or the Pro version I should say, can do that? If so, how? I'm not aware that this is something that is possible for a lone gunman like me...

Hi, I'm doing some work on patten recognition and have been cross referencing those algorithms against previously published candlestick patterns as a kind of blind test. One of the books I've been using for this is "Japanese Candlestick Charting techniques" by Steve Nison. In particular I've...

And so if the Icelandic people won't pay it'll be the British people that pay, right, given that the Govt and the people are the same when it comes down to counting out the money. My point is that Iceland will pay a price, and a not insignificant one too, should it renege on what it agreed to...

You don't seem to be considering the issue rationally. Let's leave it at that.

Are you saying that iceland has the power to "threaten" the EU with a fish embargo? Oh I get it. You're joking right? Do you not see the political-economic implications? If this were simply about what rate of interest Iceland can lend money then this would be a no-brainer. And, Britain and...

The British and Dutch Govts didn't unilaterally advance funds to those savers. It was done as part of an agreement with the Icelandic Govt. But yes, Iceland may decide to say, "So long suckers!" But doing so will not be cost free like so many here seem to be saying. Putting aside any other...

They won't. If the Icelandic people are naive enough to vote it down Iceland will be punished. The EU has significant leverage against Iceland. People in this thread speak as though this is a decision to be made in a vacuum. It most definitely is not.

Well, as it's been established that virtually noone anywhere had adequate collateral where does that leave your point?

The demand for graduates of the type I refer to has been steady or rising consisently. It's the supply that's been falling for many, many years. It has nothing to do with india or China. Rather it has a lot to do with comfortable lives in the west and a belief that there is an easier option...

I think you're missing the point; or maybe I should say, the more important point. Liberal arts degrees are part of a wider issue of students taking the "soft option" when choosing which subjects to study. This is why Engineering, maths and science graduations have been falling for a long time...
