So it works, fascinating. 1. Discredit the original post "lack of knowledge" taking the first swipe 2. Copy the context and reword slightly, the plagarist 3. That's normally it, most posters then give up, rinse and repeat until the plagiarist, who has nothing original to say, has thousands if...

So you're illiterate and have no contextual analysis skills, no wonder you have so much time to make 1,000s of posts, explains your drivel, my apologies, lack of educated responses.

You really are not very smart, "What is best is whatever will make profits and least losses for you" which is exactly what I said in the conclusion. See to the illiterate crowd are coming out of the woodwork again after a few month hiatus. Very good.

There is no best or worst indicator, all indicators will provide a signal, some a little more frequently than others, however the time lag between signals will be too long individually. Traders then, via testing, create synthetic indicators, sometimes technically, sometimes fundamentally...

Incorrect, it was abundantly clear from your first reply that you are hardwired to a logarithmic curve. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/posts/4443744/ Now, some people can make money from a logarithmic curve, however they are unable to understand that the input is always greater than the...

Breakeven isn't a win, but anyway. There are four return categories: 1-2%; 3-5%; 7-10%; 15-20%. The latter is how people become billionaires compounding $1,000 monthly over 15-20years. The standard*, based on an exponential curve, is 1-2% return, you then have all the combinations, timeframe...

Pre-emptively reset before the markets force you to, don't have big winners, don't have big losers, just have. Incrementally win, and if by chance you have a large loss you only lose your profits not your capital. You then just start again small, and repeat, otherwise known as compounding, the...

Sure. A 1% profitability success for traders, where you have 60mn trading once per day for low probability setups, giving a ~80% failure rate for 1-2% return per month. That means your 20% profits need to offset the 80% failures, so we take 3-5trades per day which on low probability would be 1mn...

Absolutely correct, which averages out to 1% per month. What people with no experience are clueless about is that the mathematics of it is incredibly simple, the problem is that due to their own personal problems, lack of capital/time/knowledge/discipline/tools, they think the universe owes them...

Of course I do given your quote "But I could not make money day trading: Market refused to follow my system". So we come to the "not smart enough to calculate the figures". It's very simple, if you know how to search for the statistics and actually understand them, you would already be in the...

Given that MACD is one of the most commonly used indicators, unless you add various other indicators to create a unique synthetic pattern you will be whipsawed like there's no tomorrow. It's not about the one indicator, it's about you finding a combination which provides a high probability of...

Actually you have three cores to any situation, management & strategy (c-suite), business (methodology design), and technology. Then you have architects in the middle to communicate between the three, so 20% to 35% would be balanced depending on the architecture involvement. Then of course you...

Right, so you are outside of the top 1%, it's all on the internet, you just have to search for it.

We've been having the same problem with our sever side algos, CQG has so far proven to be the best option, the main issue being they are institional grade so if you're retail or similar you are more on your own. We built our own platform for HFT trading, but are in talks to move the longer...

On mid timeframe charts, like 60mn, 1-2% per month assuming you are in the top 1% who are the only ones making any profits, with account sizes in the high 5figures and low 6figures. Unless you have something seriously special, remembering the top 1% have the same knowledge close to or above a...
