[RT] Gen: A thought about Astrology

Hi,

The discussion on the forum seems headed for the inevitable Astro fight.
Perhaps a few thoughts of mine could redirect this bashing.

I have stated on the forum in the past that I don't believe in Astrology.
However, a fellow group member that virtually never posts anything helped me
to think about Astrology and trading in a different way.

Say that I made a computer that would only boot up between a full moon and a
new moon, and it would only print 3 days before a new moon, and it would
only dial out if Venus was in conjunction with something like Mars. Say that
I didn't tell anyone that this was the way that this computer worked. Now
say that someone got it and tried to figure out how and why this computer
worked. Would they say that Astrology made this computer do these things?

Was it the intention of the founders of the markets to have them respond to
Astrology? If the markets were designed that way then it doesn't necessarily
matter if I believe in Astrology. The question is does it work and can you
make money with it.
