    Debunk Targets

    Cool stuff. I once did a simulated 100,000 coin flips. The longest streak I had in that entire test was 21 straight tails...

    Volatility is Back..

    Hmm... Interesting. My DEC shows the higher number. The Sept is showing the 400ish on mine as well. I've forgotten to roll in the past and thought that might be the reason. :)

    Volatility is Back..

    I'm guessing it's because you didn't roll the contract yet..

    What happend, the markets are dead ?!!

    True indeed. The best info I could gather is that it has finally been realized the North Korean model is the way to go. The people are so happy and fulfilled that they don't even need no stinkin' lights for night time. They don't need much food either. It's utopia! Also... from what I...

    What happend, the markets are dead ?!!

    You haven't heard? Today it becomes official no-one is allowed to (or even attempt to) make a profit anymore. We now must put forth our mental and physical labor for the the "good of all humanity." Aren't you excited!!!

    CBOE Skew Index

    Yes... was surprised by Friday's low reading... then suddenly today up to new highs. Couldn't find the reason for Fridays drop when looking through the chains. Was surprised that there was suddenly very little tail risk through the weekend.

    How Did You Get Started?

    Exactly the same way and year here! What a journey it's been. Looking back, Wade Cook and his cohorts didn't know jack S**T... other than how to sell to market trading ignoramuses... like I was then. Saw he got sent to the clink for 8 years for fraud of some sort... Oh well... gotta start...

    The best ES systems are still secret ?

    Gotta admit.... sounds exactly like me... I'm still obsessed (probably unhealthily so) with research, but don't seem to find anything like what I do.... at all! I suppose that's the way it needs to be in the end... no depending on "gurus." But damn it was a massive, agonizing pain in...

    So, no taper!

    It amazes me how all the talking heads on tv right now are saying "and when the fed "eventually tapers"..... "eventually".... yyyyeah.... sure...... now politics has direct control over making the market climb when they want it to....

    Why these signal providers go wrong horribly

    I've never subscribed to a "signal provider," but it seems they appear... advertise their "service"... operate for 6-24 months .... then suddenly disappear. So I'm curious... who was this particular signal provider?

    Is there a tool for drawing a 45 degree angle on a chart

    Just beware that the actual degrees of an angle drawn on a chart will change anytime you crunch down, stretch out, or alter the X Y dimensions of your chart.

    I hate when people say most traders fail because they are undercapitalized

    Yes... I think it boils down to semantics about the word "bet." My original premise that trading and gambling are very similar concepts, but different in my mind primarily rests on the notion that one has a skill correlating to a studied and acquired statistical advantage, and the other...

    I hate when people say most traders fail because they are undercapitalized

    Simplified maybe, but generally agree. More specifically, I hate the comment "absolutely don't trade with money you cannot afford to loose!"... Bullcrap! Absolutely don't GAMBLE with money you cannot afford to loose! To me, gambling and trading may seem like similar concepts, but are very...

    Gotta love this market!

    Yup... Been portfolio long since last November. Done well, but the market has clearly become a total degenerate stimulus junkie.
