what was "the reason" why the bird did not fly away when I approached it, and why was my other little seasonal visitor so upset?

Quote from wcmckee87:
So i'm a college student doing my thesis on a comprehensive day trading plan and strategy and found this forum looking for research. I stumbled upon this thread last night and originally thought it was a foolish game of philosophical cat and mouse stated by either a homeless nut case or a way too old matrix fan who lives in his moms basement ( no offense NYSE). But for some unexplainable reason i kept reading, so much in fact that i stayed up all night and stoped my research to read through the entire thing. As I began to wrap my head around it I slowly gained respect for what was being done here and now after pondering this all night long and thinking about it today during the holiday festivities (ha)I feel this is the most "valuable"collection of trading ideas I have ever seen.
I certainly see the skepticism of NYSE's statements and purpose, but at a most basically level even if this is a wild goose chase, which for the record I personally do not, I feel the value of this as mental exercise alone is great and I am very grateful for the intellectual transaction spawned from NYSE and members. Although statistically speaking however, if most traders fail, and most traders follow techniques denounced by NYSE, then he is "right" however one chooses to quantify that.
Ok now that I'm done with the ass kissing I'm going to try and win the golden ticket..
- You were more serious than you came off when alluding to the notion of automating an opposite trade order when a order is placed
- Since most traders fail then the "idea" of trading is a failed idea, granted there are infinite variations of strategies in which some trend towards the anomaly of success, the general parameters of trading (historical price movements) is a failed system.
- Here's the kicker, maybe, you said most of the time buy low sell high, which could be interpreted as if prices are low people are selling and if prices are high people are buying, meaning buy when people sell and sell when people buy. Would you dare insinuate that the holiest of holies is to always do the opposite of the market? Now that's just to obvious!
Ah, a future SQ3R trader
Good on you W87, at least you have the balls to say what you think
As for a thesis on daytrading, etc, just remember that it is gambling and you will sail thru it.
Most traders fail for a very simple reason - and that is, they are too damn lazy to do what is required, instead they look for the "easy" path, which is usually the most trodden:eek:
To reach the temple of the Oracle, you must be prepared to take the "difficult" path, no matter what pain it may bring - as real joy can only be known by comparing it to real pain!
You have all you need for a Master Thesis - when you outline your document, draw it in flowchart format, that way you will see things that otherwise may elude you:eek:
Happy thinking
BTW W87 - imagine if you produced a thesis that actually had real value for trading, now that would be a first, and you would get offered more jobs trading than you would ever dream of

RN, you cease to amaze me
One person about to kill a fish, one fish about to be killed
The girl is eating the ice cream, and the cold sensation pierces her delicate mouth, and, the cold steel of the spear is pierced into the helpless body of the fish, while, a blinding yellow light appears and shines in the fishes' eye as it is just about to die!
Joy and misery are always close at hand!
I am no art collector - but I do like to keep my eyes and ears open
RN, you are starting to worry me, I hope you are not becoming "strange"

Like the wind
But we better watch out for the Red Baron, as he is an ACE
I will look up page 126 and reply - jeeez, I am starting to forget what I was doing, but that can be a good trait to have

Nope!
You can drop the _ _ if you like, as the words will say the same thing!
Think of the bird video for a very good clue
BTW RN, the answer to this is also the answer to the 1 out of 6!
YOU will see why when the words are revealed!
OK, I am going to look at ANF options, as we must not forget that in order to lose some money we must "actually" trade

I didnât notice any reference to âthe reasonâ
But does "the reason" matter?
The bird does not reason any more than the market does. What the bird perceives may vary from day to day. Tomorrow you may not be able to get as close as you did or the bird may fly down and land on your hand. Either way you wonât know the reason, only what you perceive the reason to be.

"the reason" followed in subsequent posts.
the point is, what was the "reason" why it did what it did then, it bugged me, so i had to find out, and i did!
Quote from nysestocks:
Did you come up with this yourself TH, or did you plagiarize
I never plagiarize. - You don't know that?
But it seems at least the 'master' agrees with ol' Tommy:
"The 'refined,' the 'rich,' the professional 'do-nothing,' the distiller of quintessence desire only the peculiar and sensational, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art.
And I, myself, since the advent of cubism have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my head.
The less they understood, the more they admired me!
Today, as you know, I am celebrated, I am rich. But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist
at all, not in the grand meaning of the word.
I am only a public clown, a mountebank. I have understood my time and exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my
contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But, at least, and at last, it does have the merit of being honest."
