Re: Random or Competition?

This is why I wanted a definition of random. Otherwise it goes around in circles.

That something is random is a perception. We typically say random when we can't predict in advance with...

Re: A new (lulz) high

Well I don't know. Maybe temp, maybe permanent. I did ask, but don't think that was ever answered.

Jon, it is actually quite interesting. It's a sort of trick on your own mind. So because you know that human nature doesn't like losers, you convert the trade into flat, but you've tricked your mind...

Re: Can you be long and short at same time?

Yeah why not Trader A, B and C. Where Trader B does what you say, and Trader C exactly replicates his net position. Can you keep a record of that Barjon, and then let us know how it gets on?

Sorry tar, I didn't really understand the response.

I'm confused about why a broker would take on risk while asking for 0 margin.

Re: Can you be long and short at same time?

So to do this, you either have to have no stops or have to put up margin for being flat? Lets add another one to the Con column for long and short at the same time. Still no Pros for this yet.
