Mean reversion works maybe this year not so profitable due to inflation trade.

If not happy, then maybe losing everything due to overtrading.

Hmm...moving averages are momentum signal, not mean reversion. Check out this website, this website and this website for ideas.

Charts have a lot of noise. Conceivably an expert could filter it out and find the signal to profit. But if charting was effective there would be no need for huge investments in quant trading. There are many experts in this area but one I greatly respect is the guy interviewed in Forbes and he...

HFT not the problem. Unreliable methods is the problem.

It depends on market and leverage. For stocks with no leverage 7% - 12%. For forex 10% - 30% with 5x leverage.

Trading decision or educational? Because the former sounds a bit illegal depending on how law is interpreted.

A good article here with the math that should answer most of your questions. The most important take away is that frequency of trading and stop-loss are dependent. If you are going to trade infrequently, then you will need wider stops. If you trade in higher frequency, then you can lower the...

If someone could take the software developed by PAL and make it multi-threaded could be a hit. It's now integral part of my trading but running different instances on different cores/PCs is not ideal way of doing things from me. The developer is probably satisfied and not planning any changes...

Good point. Both sides of the story are useful.

Taleb would have been right if central banks had not taken over. He simply extrapolated another correction after two large correction in a period of 8 years, in 2000 and 2008. Many authors first extrapolate and then they try to justify wishful thinking with convoluted arguments. Correct me if...

Actually I thought the article was very good and painted a realistic picture of TA. I also highly recommend the author's book Fooled By Technical Analysis. There is a lot of value there especially for trading system developers.

1. Formulate your system 2. Backtest it in a suitable platform (NinaTrader, MetaTrader, Quantopian, etc.) 3. Can you live with the risk parameters and return? Does it worth the time? 4. If you think it does, trade the system with reduced risk for about 6 months. 5. Do actual results match...

NT 7 is good trading platform. I do not know about 8. Has anyone tried it?

Their recent analysis with the R code is interesting. Both binary logistic and SVM should produce close results for a small number of features. The difference starts getting large with a large number of features where SVM is supposed (?) to work better. But I have not seen that in practice. If...

Do you know more jokes? :)

No meaning. You say that to idiots so they do not bother you.

Get back to work :)

Edge is what works today. Edit: I looked for this article about the simplest edge. Interesting...

Most traders in ES are robots from same sources. Human traders are down to maybe a few thousands or even hundreds.
