I don't think it's the coding, but that most realtime charting software update price & indicators every tick, so many people take signals before the bar is complete. This is not exclusive to MA xo's but can create "false signals" with other methods as well. The key is to wait for the bar to...

In a previous office I was in, we put the computers in a closet and ran keyboard and monitor cables below the floor to a KVM switch in a large conference room where lots of demos were done. It was pretty slick but you're limited to a practical distance. We used 65 ft cables. For a home...

Unrealized. It's the maximum intraday peak-to-trough equity drawdown.

Don't enter a trade based on MA xo until bar is complete.

There is a whole new era of auctionable goods awaiting eBay.... in the B2B space. Most B2B marketplaces have failed but eBay is going to take its shot in a different format that what the marketplace players tried to do, and if they are even mildly successful the revenues will leave everything...

Where did you get the notion that I do not believe that simplicity works? I use both complex and simple methodologies. Perhaps you misunderdood my suggestion. I wasn't challenging your claims, only suggesting how you can make a more convincing argument of your claims. BTW, I am well...

Wally, If you seek to "prove" that simplicity works, or more specifically that your simple method(s) work, you could simply post an account statement or otherwise log your trades via journal format. I realize you probably feel you don't have to prove anything to anybody, but I make the...

Try looking at something as simple as confirmation filter? ES has a breakout, but TICK/TRIN/etc. does not. TICK/TRIN/etc shows a breakout but price is hanging below/above support/resistance... what behavior do you see? Your indicator shows divergence, so does TICK/TRIN/etc., but price does...

The same reason that they know if someone pulls a fire alarm in a building some people run out right away, some wait to see what others do, some wait for the smoke, some get fried.... individual vs. crowd psychology and the law of averages.

But with the jeep you can take the corners with better precision (individual candles vs. MA) and get to the destination faster (higher net profits). With the Cadillac you have to take the corners slowly (MA) and get there much later (leave profits on the table), not to mention piss off the...

Halo alone is worth it for Xbox. Unreal Championshp with Xbox Live is also great fun. Great for blowing off steam during lunch period between trading sessions!

Rollover is the 12th. The general rule is traders switch over to next contract on the 2nd Thursday before the 3rd Friday of month of expiration. In other words, switch over 8 calendar days before expiration. Expiration for Dec SP contract is the 20th. Also, here is an expiration calendar...

inandlong, Who was the one that made "conjectures" about someone else's post? If you were truly interested in "being helpful" then you wouldn't have started in with the personal conjectures. I don't sweat the small stuff. I'll let ET readers come to their own conclusions. You can have...

Let's not forget that you were the one that started with the "maybe" conjectures. I was simply being helpful by summarizing the contents of the ebook in question. I'm sure most found my one sentence summary more helpful than you did. My other replies were simply following up your own...

Don't sweat the small stuff. It won't help your trading, nor help you make friends. Why not focus on more substantive posts? The vast majority of mine are, except sometimes when responding to others.

I remind you that I was the one who originally posted about this ebook's contents with a one sentence summary. Your definition of "sharing" and "being helpful" is also a bit off. It's like if I told you that the key to winning in the stock market is to take every entry when the 5/15 MA...

Interesting that you took my reply personally though. It was obvious you were replying to my post. And 'maybe' is hardly a symbol of conclusive language. More like conjecture I'd say. So "jump to conclusions" doesn't cut it. I was being facetious with your use of "maybe" three times in...

Maybe it's because the concepts are already well known, published in a few different texts and TASC articles which are available online. Maybe you shouldn't jump to conclusions and judge other people's "attitudes"? How many of my posts have been helpful to others vs. the common drivel you...

There's plenty of trading literature on the topic out there. Pretty common stuff so I'll let the newbies do their own research. :-)

Not if you know what you are doing. Following the proper model building discipline to achieve generalization, you will find it is hard to curve fit data. Most people who first try out NN's don't understand key model building concepts. They simply throw data and indicators at some software...
