    So if you grew up in the RGV I assume you speak fluent Spanish? LOL

    I would hope that they'd not honor that request and I doubt they would. Didn't I see somewhere that it is now a Hall of Fame thread?

    I know you can ask them to close it to further replies as many of the hall of fame threads are closed. I would hope you don't even ask for that.

    I don't use your methods but that doesn't mean I've not picked up an idea or two from your journal that has benefited my own developement.

    People have to be responsible for themselves. It isn't up to you to feel responsible for the irresponsibility of others.

    Keep your journal open, @volpri

    I am that one poster. :D

    But like my reply to @poopy (who said @volpri's sim wasn't credible) that it didn't matter to me. I am after novel, good ideas. I do my own verification and validation regardless.

    I analyzed scalping, based on @volpri's approach, it worked well under the right boundary conditions. I have 6 months' sim and now 3 weeks of live trades to support it. Am I been fooled? Maybe, maybe not, because 6 months is not a long enough time to validate.

  4. The trick about buying sports cars is don't get the ones that go 200 mph....get the ones that feel like they are going 200 mph. :)

    Well, it's still heck of a lot better than initially losing 3K (because one doesn't believe in using stops) only to see it come back to breakeven, if even that.

  6. Really? I thought that it was always in cheaper cars that it seems like you’re going faster than you really are.
