A wee point about algorithms...

na, it'll be wasted on you lot. Actually it wouldn't, it very easy, but it's such a novel thought (well not really but in this way) I need to keep it to myself. But as I started typing this thread I may as well post this, just to be a nuisance.

Actually, on second thoughts, may as well give a hint.

Think on this... Is David Beckham a master of newtonian mechanics?

robster970 · Sep 28, 2010

Yes and what's more he doesn't even know it.

What's your point fly boy - don't be shy....

He certainly is but not consciously, this is why it doesn't take him 45 minutes to take a free kick.

Use the force you will, defeat the algos you must.

Two things I learned yesterday about mechanics:

(i) Newtonian dynamics may break down at extremely low accelerations
(ii) Special relativity may break down at extremely small lengths (Planck scale) - a possible fix is "Doubly special relativity" in which, in addition to the speed of light, the planck length is the same for all observers

I'm still none the wiser as to the purpose of this thread. To be honest, if someone isn't explaining how to double my money every week I am not interested.

Federer > Beckham

meanreversion · Sep 29, 2010

In terms of sporting greats, Don Bradman is miles ahead by any yardstick.

Federer is surely the greatest tennis player ever, but he is not significantly better than Sampras was.

Pele and Maradona both obviously very good but maybe Messi is of a similar standard.

But for extreme success in their chosen endeavour, how about Phil "The Power" Taylor, without question the greatest darts player of all time.

scose-no-doubt · Sep 29, 2010

By my post I mean that imo federer > beckham as an example of mechanics

I'm not really a sports person so I'm not going to attempt to defend my masculinity by pretending to know much about any of those people you just mentioned. Better to remain silent and be thought a fool...

I know more about hippies like this

What's that? It's hard to quantify the hundreds of things we as traders calculate from glancing at a chart, who'da thunked it!
