I hope this isn't too far off topic for this thread, but it has to do with exercise, so here goes. Does anyone experience a general state of anxiety / insomnia when working out regularly? It seems that when I am exercising frequently, I have these symptoms. Exercise definitely does reduce...

This was one of things I was curious about when starting this. I did a lot of reading and I read in a few places that natural HGH levels increase beginning at 12 hours of fasting, and even more so at 20, so that's where the benefit is. In my personal experience, I'm sure I regularly consume...

I try to go 3 - 4 'fasting' days in a row, then take a day off. So, ideally 4 on, 1 off, then start over. I don't always make it the 4 days though. If I have a chance to go to lunch with the wife and kids, I don't pass it up, or sometimes, I just get HUNGRY, like truly, mouth watering hungry...

I recently dropped from close to 200 to 170, shooting for 165 as my ultimate goal. Here are a few of things I've done with varying success: Intermittent fasting- This is a controversial subject. I try to eat only one meal a day (dinner) at least 3 - 4 times a week. I don't believe in...

1) Find a broker with an API which will allow your automated program to directly communicate with their price feed and to send orders 2) Decide which programming language you'll be using, this will largely be dictated by the language your broker's API supports 3) Learn the language...

Umm, interesting. Thanks for all of the responses, it makes more sense now. It looks like I'll have her ask if Forex is OK, if not, I'll just have to divorce her and hang out more with the girlfriend, hehe

Good answer, thanks. But what if I were 'trading manager' for XYZ Corporation or a private hedge fund. Then would we have to disclose?

So, in other words, keep it on the 'down low'. I got you, but, although my wife has never hassled me about my trading, I think she's going to be paranoid about this.

Hi all, I am hoping some of you have experienced this or have knowledge that may help me. I currently trade Forex as well as a self directed ESA for my daughters' college fund. My wife is going to work for a large fund company in September. One of the things they told her is that no...

Monte Carlo is nothing but mental masturbation for those who don't know how to trade.

The OP asks legit newbie questions. Why don't some of you guys try being helpful instead of being dickheads??

Completely agree. I never got into learning MT4 or NT or any of that stuff. I wanted to play like the big boys, so I took the time (two months) to learn C# from scratch and code my own automated system. Now I just need some entry logic that works.

I agree, I would go straight to C#. I am currently coding in C# after spending the first four years of my career in Excel/VBA. Excel is a good research and development platform, ie you can make changes easily on the fly and you can 'see' all of the data, but you'll find that it is lacking...

Sorry you lost all of your money, but it is not a scam!

Forgot to say, the main weakness of this approach is that if your feed goes down, you lose that data forever, this is something I'm still trying to work around.

...or process the data yourself in Excel / VBA from the DDE feed. Once you know how to do this, you can process the data any way you want and you don't have to rely on an outside service (other than the DDE feed) You can have '1 minute and 37 second' time frames if you want.:p

I am developing a trading system that will eventually be automated. I have thought more and more about using fuzzy logic in my system. Last night, I missed an entry order because the price reached 5 pips or so away from my entry, before it rocketed downward. I was thinking, if I had some...

Cramer is a wanna-be trader who made a few dollars in the dotcom boom, is clueless about the market, works for a wall street shill network and got his ass handed to him by a comedian (Jon Stewart) 'nuff said.

I work with Excel / VBA. It has the best of both worlds for a trading system developer, the ability to code in VB and the ability to easily store data without learning all of the database SQL type stuff. Although VB and VBA are slightly different. Also, getting real time data is very simple...

I'm going to answer each of your 7 points: 1 A good trader using a good system will trade that same move, just one day at a time. This is actually more profitable, because if you're doing it right, you're compounding profits and scaling up on each trade. 2 Addicting? Compulsive? Are...
