    Percentage of trades filtered

    I saw the ATR's earlier in the year drop to 2, the herding instincts on the futures, etc. I'm primarily a swing trader but was looking for other markets and wound up with a big ass filter, kinda hit me over the head. If you got a swing trading system with a 70% win rate, it made sense to...

    The bitter truth about Patak Trading

    gmst, I'm smart enough to know how stupid I am. I sincerely meant nice read. As you can see, I don't post much, things never are without an agenda. Honestly, I'm overwhelmed outta all these years to come back to HFT and the hostilities and the scams to scam others. I'm not surprised...

    Rocko Bonaparte and the Quest for the Holy Fail

    I was just joking, your sounds like it might be a personal experience. Hate to hear that oldtime. Just kidding. Thought you might be that old professor that I pissed off many years ago. He said "Son, I've forgotten more than you will ever know". At 4K post,your gift for gab is...

    Rocko Bonaparte and the Quest for the Holy Fail

    What? Zero is not the bottom? Messing with my universe, sounds like I got another system failure. Speaking of failures, what happens when the ATR is stuck at 1. It reminds me, gotta go check the veggies.

    Rocko Bonaparte and the Quest for the Holy Fail

    I am the trading God. If you need help, just ask. Been running a serious number of tested programs. But, my main GoTo program is called Doomsday. You are gonna be amazed at the number of Buy orders when prices go to $0. I won't be here but the program is on auto. Just browsing...

    without hft

    We are both entitled to our opinions. At this point we have to adapt. As an older guy I'm tired of hearing how we screwed stuff up for this generation. You now got ownership.

    Math involved in calculating range to frequency ratio of trade ?

    RangeTrader, I'm assuming this was addressed to me. Things gotta make sense for me to risk money. As an example, 4 things are guaranteed Day1) Insiders sell, Day2) Wallstreet sells, Day3) mom and pop sell, Day4) jstox buys the bounce. Well, WTF does that mean. Just an old guy...

    Math involved in calculating range to frequency ratio of trade ?

    Do the iterations. Start with the least range we as retail traders have to deal with. It's usually in the order of 2 ticks. One is profit the other tick for transaction cost. Then, you will say the data doesn't make sense. That's when the head scratching starts, and hopefully you...

    without hft

    I saw a thread a few days ago concerning HFT and how to adapt. It was a spammer but I participated with very rudimentary examples. No comments. Now either people don't understand it or they refuse to believe but the end result is ...... HFT needs regulated. You will be bled to death...

    Predicting the Close

    lol, u got the right idea, just wrong day. Review friday's, nothing happens after lunchtime. Minor program tweaks, that's all. As for logic_man, reminds me of Kelly's Heroes. "Moriarity, please stop with the negative waves". Still haven't figured Paddlers agenda and don't care...
