    Automated Strategy Builders

    Number of New York traders at all time low

    It's neither the HFT nor the lack of money. These are misconceptions. It's the long-term trend. People just let their profits run. No1 rule of trading. When this happens, number of traders go down. When the market will correct, then number of traders will start increasing. In addition, many...

    Best Back Testing Results

    I have a system with 1 trade in the backtest and it's working well: Buy if close > 0 Backtested in SPY from 01/2010 to 12/2012 and has made good money since. Does this say anything whether the backtest is good or not?

    The fallacy of "continuous Kelly"

    It's a pity really. My only ignorance was that I didn't know I would be attacked. Also the moderators of this group should realize that when members are willing to help and are attacked they will not be willing to repeat it unless they get rid off the abrasive characters. Mr, you need help and...

    The fallacy of "continuous Kelly"

    The fallacy of "continuous Kelly"

    I was also confused in the past but these Kellys mean different things (I never used them btw) . The fraction means % to risk on a trade and the other one means % to leverage your purchasing power. To give you an example when you are fully invested like in b&h with no stops like good pop and...

    Is it possible earn 20% a year swing trading stocks.

    It is extremely hard to know who is a scam and who is the real thing out there if you do not try and that may cost you money. I too initially thought a few years ago that a certain guru was a scam just because I disliked his method. Then I followed his articles and I realized that I may be...

    Triangle, flags, wedges etc.

    http://www.finviz.com/ is free. I would not expect to make any money with triangles, wedges and the like. Flags are terrible too. Nothing of this sort works well because if it were brokerages would not offer it as a tool because they mostly trade against the customers.

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    I know the person on behalf of whom the emails are send and I cannot unsubscribe because the unsubscribe link forces you to register to unsubscribe. This is horrible spam. You have not gotten any spam because you are a member. They are trying to make non member to subscribe this way.

    Trading System Building Learning Curve?

    I don't want to discourage you but think of how many thousands of traders have used these indicators to try to make money trend-following and where they have ended up. As someone point out in another thread, backtesting and analysis with these indicators gives you a false sense of reliability...

    Do you believe in a holy grail?

    Insider trading and front-running are HGs that are illegal. If you discover a HG, you will be monitored and you will have trouble. This is what happened to a couple of Swedish guys a couple of years ago. They ended up on jail for running a profitable bot against institutional bots.
