    Do people get same results with real trading as backtesting?

    You're seriously suggesting market makers are going to move the market for your 100 shares? That is the most embarrassing analysis and conclusion I've seen in some time.

    Call to Arms - We Must Fight the 0.25% Stock Transaction Tax

    This is probably going to pass... Herbert is a cunt. If it passes, I'm leaving this country to sink. Yay for duel citizenship.

    Part Time Jobs for Traders

    LOL, what an ass you are... When I graduated college I was working for less than $5.15 (after union dues). The highest paying job I've ever had was $18.04/hr. I "retired" at 27 and I guarantee I have more zeros in my account than you. Dedication and determination are more likely to come from...

    Let's build a better trade journal / log / plan / review!

    Do to poor performance, I am out for a while... A shame, because I should be making a killing! Anyway, I use this time to go over my trades and formulate what the f went wrong, adjust my plan if necessary. I thought a thread about journals, trade logs, trade plans, reviews (and so on) would...

    Negative time value?

    Thanks, Mark. I found that I was looking at some non-standard; exotic options. Take for example: QID - 63.00 DMRVFX - Oct 2008 110.0000 put b42.30 - a45.00 Several dollars negative intrinsic. So I'm wondering where I could find the terms of the exotic option? I'm wondering if it has to...

    Negative time value?

    Options newb here... Was looking for a way to reduce exposure to craziness and started pricing options. Intrinsic value cannot go negative. So what does negative time value mean? I've seen it pop up a few times. Example: XYZ - 100.00 XYZ Oct08 Nov 50 Call - b: 48.00 a: 49.00 I know...

    sogo elite

    Opened a SogoElite, last week... It's activated (according to CS) although I didn't get the promised comfirmation. However, CS got back to me the next day. I haven't been able to log in using the SogoElite platform yet. The CS rep is looking into why that is. Will post back and do a review...

    The Ultimate 'Rorschach' Test: Conspiracy Theorists vs Non-Conspiracy Theorists

    I think slowly, the tides are turning... People are waking up to the BS and the systems of control. Mainstream TV is public enemy number #1. If you watch it habitually, you likely will become a dangerous, lobotomized serf. Thanks for the vid, Carlin loves his country and calls it like he...

    how to protect your account from huge catastrophic events.

    I think this is a pretty relevant question with 73% approval rating of Bushco's fraudulent "war on terror". A lot of power is invested in selling fear to the US... The only way to keep the preemptive war drums pounding, is another "terror" attack, like Gingrich and Rumsfeld have been calling...

    Former US State Governor Questions 9/11 Official Story

    Ha, I can't belive what I'm reading in here, you conspiracy theorists are nuts! Popular Mechanics cannot be questioned, everything in it is 100% accurate because it is widely published. Magazines that are in grocery stores = credible, that's basically the rule. Few facts for consideration...

    new computer

    Success and $ spent aren't exactly correlated. I'd never be where I am today if I hadn't started out as a tightwad... and old habits, like cost-benefit, are hard to break. Still, I'm glad people are there to buy this stuff when it's hot. If you shutdown your machine nightly you could set a...

    new computer

    Holy badass, it is awesome... But God, was cost not a factor?!!:eek: Hope you got a good write off. Multitudes of nerds on newegg (myself included) could have built more machine for half the cost. Also, you need more hard drives, at least 3, preferably 5. Still, post a picture of the beast...

    Moving info from old to new machine

    Hm... it's unfortunately not that easy. Programs have to be registered, registries altered and so on. 2 easier ways: -Acronis True Image: make a backup image of your hard drive and attempt to port it into your new PC. -Are you moving to a PC with the same OS? If you are and the hard...

    I need encrypted Internet access

    Anyone who has researched it at all knows the US govt has ZERO actual interest in capturing said person. All the way from declining gift wrapped offerings of foreign govts to actively ordering US forces to stand down in Afghanistan. If said person is actually what popular media says, and not...

    Worm found in new MP3 player

    Yikes, chastity belt for thine USB needed! You could plug it into a spare computer (with nothing sensitive) and run Eraser of it's memory... But even that isn't 100%, it could even be in some flash RAM like a BIOS. I would ask for a refund, and leave negative feedback saying the kind of BS...
