kalitka, I don't think there's any data available to answer your question because it would be impossible to gather and analyze I wish I could have replied in such a constructive manner myself. :oops: You're hitting the nail on its head there. Well done. To put it even more clearly, I think there is...

I asked a question. You don't have an answer. Why post ? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that you didn't understand the answer? So, after a bit of a blunt, no so subtle translation: Your insistance at finding numbers to get convinced of whatever it is that is your current fear is not such an is...

At this point, I would like to encourage an exchange of classes and functions. That's an excellent attitude! Unfortunately, regarding myself, I don't grok either of VB or .net. I'm sure they are very fine and powerful languages and environments, but I don't have the time to invest in Windows only t...

So i think how we deal with life's uncertainties and all of the emotions that come with it, seperates the winners from the losers I wonder if this has to be a permanent state of life, or whether you reach a point where the problem is over. Some traders in MW said that they didn't know any other fun...

If all it took to be good in trading, were the ability to read a book and memorize it then we would have a problem. That sounds true ... but what are we doing on this forum, except trying to help each other become better traders? Does this mean that we're all guilty of some kind of elitism in that ...

Well, my best friend is in Yale's business school - he tried trading for about 6 months and blew up. A somewhat caustic remark: you don't need to come out of Yale to blow up; look at me :oops: Just to point out that if arrogance is not a virtue, humility may help but is definitely not the end of th...

Thanks, Karakoram, for giving us a bit more context. Why SQL server: I have a couple of friends that are programmers full time There's something that is obvious to you but that is not necessarily obvious to them, which is that your CSI acquired data can be considered read-only, because, once you hav...

Sorry if it looks like I'm hammering the same point, but ... you show us _what_ you use, without telling us _why_. I ask again the same question: Why do you need a database in the first place? Is this because the other tools you use _need_ a database/SQL and all that, or do _you_ have the need for a...

Another related issue ...
Someting I learnt the hard way: You can't hope paying your bills by trading, unless you are _already_ paying your bills by trading. Switching career in the midlle of your life might look good on your CV once you have succeeded, but until then, keeping whatever day job one has is probably the most sa...

A little remark on the TT rules and the Turtles
I'm not exactly buying the argument that Mr Faith had an edge by being a computer geek that some others didn't. The way I view all this is that the mind set I would have had (and currently have with the rules) is that I would be following them EXACTLY WHATEVER the outcome. The reason is that, if I f...

Too much reading ...
I've just read the entire thread at http://www.tradingblox.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=564 which deals with portfolio selection ... and I came out scared! "God! I hadn't seen Portfolio selection as such a black-art not amenable to pure logic" did I think, close to despair. But then, the very...
