Obviously this person will have trouble trading. He is too worried about
someone else's God.
BTW, pantheism doesnot work. There can be only one God.

Slippage! What about storage costs!

Pierre, you say you believe in nothing and yet go on to describe you belief
system.

Here is a rational proof.
If God doesnot exist
then God doesnot exist.
Then if God doesn't exist
then it is God who doesnot exist.
Therefore, God exists.
So much for rationalism.
The proof or evidence of religion is when you have faith. If you do not
have faith why do expect evidence? For a trader to have a successful
system and not follow it is a perfect example who doesnot have faith in the
system to trade it and therefor, not the evidence in the form of an equity
curve.

I can't wait to hear what you think a miracle is; you admitting that Omega

Yet the scientific community struggles with this very problem. How did the
universe start and where is it going. If you want to talk about fairy
tales let's talk science. Theories change faster than people selling
trading systems.

The Clinton News Network has never been authoritative in US. I merely
takes polls and reports on those polls and presents it as investigative
reporting.

There has to be someone to take the other side of the trade?

I couldn't agree with you more. That is why people get so mad at you on
this list. You always think you are right.

Yes, and Tradestation is a finely tuned trading platform... Another
scientifically held position.

It is obvious your religious education has been stinted by your French
upbringing.

Pierre, you should stop trying to be God. Does obedience really scare that
much?

Then, if you don't believe the system will work, why do you trade it?
Let me guess....your not a trader!

Psalm 19
1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the
work of his hands.
2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they
display knowledge.
3There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard....
