so, is surf still long CL? i just read he's considering going long gold. OMG, this is another amazing mistake, everybody is unloading gold right now due to cyprus central bank decision of selling its gold reserves, which might signal the beginning of prolonged decline in prices going forward...

IMO, surf PD's are based on intuition, instinct, impulse, which is the exact opposite of analytical trading that is based on multiple sets of data and applied mathematics. the beauty of intuition trading is that the thought process is hard coded in our brain and it is sort of random, while...

sounds like jack hershey.

hilarious thread, please carry on.

i hope you have $1M+ in your account, otherwise this was an amateur mistake. (imho)

man, you're short the index again? i really don't get where you derive your sell signals. here at my desk all the research we get point in the other direction. it looks like you're trying to time the reversal and, as you know, that's kind of dangerous. are you going to add to your short, while...

who the fuck wants to life forever, anyway? enough is enough. much better finding way to end suffering, including deceases, physical and cognitive decline through aging and other burdens of being human.

the math is very simple. if the profit target is 100 and the stop loss 50, then the chances of the PT being hit are about half of the SL being hit. hence, the expectancy of such trading system would be as follows: 33,33%p * 100 PT - 66,66%p * 50p SL == 0 - commissions and slippage...

risk adjusted return metrics, i.e. sharpe, sortino, sterling, etc. ratios. a measure of efficiency is how much did one make when compared with the risk or drawdown sustained over that period of time.
