You might also want to have a look at www.chartnet.nl. It is Dutch but it also runs an English version. It has all the features you can think of, a.o.: - real time forex (and lots of other) prices, - charts with timescales from days up to to 1 minute per candle or even tick by tick, - dozens of...

Jumpoff: Everything you always wanted to know about statistics (but were afraid to ask...): http://mathworld.wolfram.com I was fired a little over a year ago. I suddenly had all the time in the world to investigate some further in my hobby: trading. After 3 months of full time studying trading...

Have a look over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem The solution is simple: 1. You start with an even prob. distribution for the car: Door1: 1/3 Door2: 1/3 Door3: 1/3 2. You choose eg Door1. You have a 1/3 prob that it contains the car. Door2+Door3 have 2/3 prob. to...
