Thank you WrbTrader! It's about time someone found the humor in my post instead of getting angry. I have a policy of responding to everyone who replies to one of my post out of courtesy when reasonable and sometimes it's hard to keep a straight face. I sure hope I don't end up on the...

Correction: Integral(volume*abs(price-SMA))dt, sorry, hadn't had my coffee.

At least I'm not a hypocrite.

Thanks for your suggestion on increasing the time span, I have tried both longer and shorter time spans than the one I am currently using. I doubt there are any similarities between our trading systems if you are back testing on 30 years of data though. I'd have to build a big cluster to get...

My model told me to short NQ on July 3rd open, but when the stock gapped down around 20% I chickened out fearing it would fill the gap and stop me out. Rookie mistake I suppose but given my level of knowledge I wouldn't take another trade just like it because I can't tell whether a stock is...

Thank you MoreLeverage, I'll start checking that box.

Sure your not from La-La land? People from India often have an advantage in getting a job because if they were educated in India they went to school either for free or almost free so they aren't burdened down with student loans. Many companies use their VISA requirements to manipulate them into...

I can't really say, my system has a significant difference in performance for t>0 than for t<0. For t<0 performance is close to perfect, for t>0 accuracy is about 60% with an average gain/loss of about 4. As far as maximum potential drawdown, it would take weeks of simulation to find out. Sample...

As a newbie I've not given allot of thought to extended hours trading until last Thursday when my short position took out my profit target about a half hour before open. I had taken a short position in SFUN on Tuesday at $10.49 and on Thursday it dropped below my buy limit of $9.25. By open it...

Nothing against people in India, some of the nicest people I've ever met were from India. They just happen to have an unfair competitive advantage against Americans.

In the early days of the internet it was considered rude to not give an introduction within the first couple months of joining a forum. Etiquette has changed more so than I have.

Thanks for the idea, I wish luck and happiness to other individual traders, but profits have to come from somewhere. Personally, I hope my profits come from the investment bankers who were handing out sub-prime loans. I may start a blog once my system has a longer history and a better...

Thanks for the welcome. 1.) Yes, I was a boring math nerd. 2.) To profit as a trader someone has to lose, I am realistic about it and try to be objective and recognize exactly what it means for me to be successful. It's not like I am contributing to society in a meaningful way as I was...

Advanced control system theory. Specifically adaptive artificial intelligence. Stock selection I run a Long/Short equity strategy on stocks in the IBD 200 top composite rated stocks which comes out in the Thursday paper. I just started experimenting with the 50 most volatile stocks on the NYSE...
