so you are basically saying that god represents this backbone that we must hang our minute lives on to keep the cumulative impact of our species...
so true. i've used similar argument against people who advocate solipsism: you can't stop a stone flying at you by thinking "hey, everything is...
yes, very good point. it is also our experience that once you try to design a system that could handle really big money (FX, futures, even the...
oh, ok, then i misunderstood you indeed. i would like to make your statement above more precise, and say that in real life setups with...
yup, no argument there :) - jaan
i can see the discussion taking the "discretionary vs. system" path again, that has been done numerous times here on ET, so let me give you a...
hehe, i bet the real sabena will be pissed once he returns from his vacation, only to find out what his kid has done with his ET account... :)...

hehe, i know it's always difficult to argue with you :) in general i would agree with you (well, not entirely, but i don't want to argue over...
well, i don't think you need the exact 50%-50% distribution to justify the comparison of trade outcomes to coin flipping. if we forget...
yes, you are. you only tried a few systems, and arrived at the conclusion that all possible systems don't work. from logical point of view this...
not that i would necessarily subscribe to it, there are some really thought provoking theories re this:...
