Just a few thoughts: 1. I don't think Tradestation is favorably disposed to serious GA development due to it's (relative to computational developments) both primitive and ancient language construction. 2. I think that GA's are particularly well ...

codification of the market / Genetic Algorithms

The way you put it here (driving a hard bargain) suggests a bit of ruthlessness which I don't think I was referring to whe I mentioned people making their living from the misfortune of others. It is a fact of life. There are undertakers, grave ...

PIP movement during disaster

[QUOTE=ivenger] This can be true but it is not a rule. Think like a large trader for a minute. Two problems large traders have that most, if not all, small traders have is that they are faced with the prospect of giving money back on their entries ...

Ok I don't get it please help

Hehe. No I didn't forget I just wanted to see if you'd mention it. I'd never have thought less of you for keeping the profits either. You were not in any way in favor of or instigating the terrorism nor were you rejoicing in the suffering of ...

PIP movement during disaster

Psychology for trading Equities are so much different than currencies that I'd be suprised to find the psychology even remotely similar. Merlin has probably already done the research on this since he has already determined that there is no notable ...

How do you define risk?

Merlin was shorting the US dollar during 911. He may have some useful comments. I clearly remember not paying any attention to the market because I had visitors that morning. FT

PIP movement during disaster

You can drive yourself crazy trying to predict market direction based on technical analysis. You can almost guarantee that you'll be wrong with so much analysis. Read Jims thread on price action and lurk in the shadows for those entry signals. I ...

Re: EurUsd short term

On the subject of leadership.... Maybe you could do this. You are level headed, respectful of people, frank and outspoken, devoid of ego problems, clear communicator, diverse thinker, not contentious, honest, well studied, and thorough. Also you've ...

Working together as a team

Well lets see. Jim already has a great forum so no point in fragmenting that unless you join the system development idea to his thread. However I think what he is doing seems to be working great so why try to wedge something in there. I have always ...

The olympic games! Sorry but the answer does fit the question. Unfortunately I don't have an answer right now but it seemed like a good idea to at least pose the question. I find that answers come more easily when the right question is asked and ...

Working together as a team

If you believe this you must have some research or data to back it up? Personally I've never noticed a tendency for the EURO or any other currency to break harder, farther or faster in one direction than the other at least as a generalization. Of ...

How do you define risk?

[QUOTE=merlin] Since it was a forum we were talking about it didn't seem important to go into that. Aren't I long winded enough? I could not agree more. Posting this will perhaps help those who have followed, or are following this approach, and ...

Ok now I understand your question better. I'm not sure you'll like the answer because there is no specific answer about which MA is best but rather guidelines. All of the charts can be useful but for different reasons and for different types of ...

Ok I don't get it please help

First, what you said makes sense in that it is clear you seem to think you are losing pips. But, other than your question "does this make sense?"... what is the question you are trying to ask -- if any? FT

Ok so then, if not the government, then who is it that would never allow these currency conversions? FT

Forex For Converting Funds?

I had one of those chart services that supposedly combined the feed from 400 banks. It jumped around constantly. It even presented a few scalping opportunities because the pricing that FXCM was feeding me was clearly smoothed. Mostly the charts ...

moving the market 5 pips (split)

I don't think that is likely to apply. If all the regulatory requirements were adhered to the government would have no basis to shut it down or refuse to allow it. It would attract scrutiny but I see no legal basis for any regulatory agency to ...

Forex For Converting Funds?

He didn't say he'd open a position. Just that he'd move the market. We assume he is talking about opening a position. He says he will not reveal how he does it. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending him because until his last post I had no basis to ...
