The analogy between trading and sports has been made many times, but this is the best version I've seen. Excellent.

Baron's comment earlier in the thread suggests that the old block function may not be compatible with the new software that is coming (not sure if that is just temporary). If blocking is not available anymore, then I would like to suggest that an alternative be implemented that would still...

. Hey cB, Swing trader here... when the short term trend is down, I'm short, and when the trend changes the other way I change too.

. Hey, don't count out those squiggly lines... they've indicated to short copper for the last couple of days...:cool:

Hi Hayseed, It's good to see you posting here. I believe you've talked previously about using your coded systems to trade with some of the Topstep-style prop companies. Would be interested to know how your experience with Darwinex compares to the others...

. Hi mute, My suggestion is analogous to what Expiated showed in his chart earlier, and I can add a few specifics. Pullbacks to a well-tested medium-period MA in an uptrend or downtrend, followed by a strong bull or bear bar, increases the likelihood of a pullback happening. Medium-period...

. Thought I remembered this quote a bit differently so I checked. “There are a million ways to make money in the markets. The irony is that they are all very difficult to find.” – Jack D. Schwager Source...

. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for since the word edge is defined differently by different people... I've been testing systems for a long time and have seen what kind of performance achieved in backtests will usually be successful when a strategy is subsequently traded with...

Hey, they're $2.50 per bottle in the vending machines at the school I work at. Seems absurdly high to me, but I guess it is all that the students know and they've gotten used to it.

Hi Padu, I believe you mentioned in the other thread that you were concerned about the low volume in U.S. overnight markets. Take a look at the MNQ Micro E-mini Nasdaq... it's had surprisingly strong volume late at night and early in the morning... so good that I could trade 3 minute candles...

I did a search to try to understand/distinguish AI from other rules-based software systems. The capabilities most relevant to trading would appear to be "Learn from large datasets" and "Use neural networks", but I wonder if software really has to be considered AI to do those things well (not my...

The chart that was posted has Heikin-Ashi candles; not sure how that affects interpretation of price action. The highs and lows are normal but open and close are calculated differently: "The OPEN of a Heikin Ashi candlestick equals the MIDPOINT of the previous candle. Every new candlestick...

Hi mute, The chart you attached appears to be a Heikin Ashi candle chart, which has characteristics of having added a trend indicator to the chart since it colors the candles to emphasize short term trends. I can see that is has value, but my concern with this approach is that the candles don't...

M.W., this last comment really made me pause and think. I occasionally view presentations at Traders Conferences and usually find the ones employing technical analysis to be interesting to watch. As I understand it, each presenter is selling a service of some kind such as direct...

Fabiano and Gukesh won in today's penultimate round... Standings going into the final day:
