    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    There is no difference between a computer generated trend and trends we know from markets. In fact, they look identical.

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    There are pure TA traders and Pure fundies. From experience, I can't see how them two can mix. You can use fundamentals to avoid certain days, where there is too much fear going on, but thats it. And with TA, you have your entry point and you just enter those no matter what. With fundamental...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    I think you are having a hindsight bias. Yeah, asking builders. You do know there are traders out there who ask this and they fail? I know also someone who made money off health stocks. But those are 1% of people, the rest failed somewhere else. You just pick a winner and show him into my...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    The element of non randomness is about 1%. It has been proven that the markets experience a so called random walk. It is about 99% random walk and about 1% non randomness. If you generate a chart with 50% RM and 50% non random, it will NOT look like charts we know (it would look too perfect)...

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    It is a very good thread. Trends themselves are random. How do you know which music will be popular in five years from now? It is the same question which company to buy and the question is there, because prediction about future are not possible.

    Do you think there's direct manipulation in the stock market?

    No, there is no manipulation. Big Boys don't even have to manipulate anything. Average Hedge Fund loses money. Customer's money, but each time they are in plus for the year they would chop off profits. Plus the management fee. The way big institutions are structured, they don't even have...

    What's your profit factor?

    I like it how people think if they make money it is not luck, it's skill, and when they lose money it's bad luck. 4.5. How can a pf swing? Keep on dreaming. The moment you accept that you lose money probably something good will happen. You are just showing off your ego here, trying to hide...

    Velocity, Eurex, Xtrader connectivity issues

    Yes, I have the same problem, it's more than couple of seconds. When price is a little more volatile, it sometimes is 15 seconds. But it often lags behind more than 5 seconds. One can still get filled and take profits just like as if everything was ok. but it is very confusing to look the...

    What's your profit factor?

    I am usually never on this website, but I was registered here for some time. The real poll should be something like this considering trading over large number of instruments over a long period of time: less than one: 80% 1.0-1.1: 15% 1.0-1.3: 3% 1.3-1.5: 2% 1.5+: 1% 2.0+: 0.1%...
