I Quit Trading...

For now :þ
Well I just want to thank everyone here. I first joined this site in spring 07 after I blew out my brother in laws day trader account shorting AMZN..
I've learned so much and evolved to the point though that I've come to my own personal rubican as far as analysis goes..I like bsing about trading too much that it holds me back from getting down to grunt work so I'm killing all my message board accounts this weekend.
There has always been context to my username...the next time I post here will be the "release" of 4.0:



"The circle is now complete, when I left you I was but a learner..now I am the master".

Dedicated to Blowfish..."Your powers are weak old man.."

Hope it won't be too long before the phoenix rises. Its good to have someone to rant at now and then (see the Delphi stuff). I'll be the first to exalt the new master;-)

Is the following, which is your post on another thread, wisdom of the master or just BS about trading ?

"Most traders are just "over smart" when it comes to this area...too "smart" for their own good and miss the obviousness of the context of the data they are trying to analize..."Context" to me is exactly what holds current AI research back, but that is a tangent.
A Boltzmann Machine is much more obvious than any kind of Back-Propagation
training BS...Even more obvious though is ant colony optimization in reverse of a tick database to weight probabilistic paths..hint, hint."


BTW, you have to good in math to be a quant, I went to MIT. What school did you go to ?

I dropped out of CS at Pitt..of course you would respond to this...your exactly what I was talking about as far as beeing "too smart".
I smoke cigerettes with guys everyday from the FX desk at my night job...They are all the same guy as you. Someone coddled since birth to only think about being "correct"...your time is clearly up as reflected macro economic wise here.
