In general, yes, you're wrong. You say "80-90% of psychology is common sense and the rest is useless". This obviously presupposes you know 100% of it. Is this the case? Well, we can't deny you the benefit of the doubt even if it's hard to believe. That said, having a mother with a degree...

Hi Hey, yours is quite a sweeping statement! Have you got any other kind of degree or doctorate?

Is your question directed to me?

I'm a young psychologist and also a trader. I got my degree 2 years ago and am now practising with a known and respected professional in my area. I've being moderately successful in the last 3 years or so, averaging 30% per year trading equities in my own account, still learning. As it's...

It means sparring because karate was originally developed to kill opponents, not as a sport. So every fight that had not to end with the opponent's death was, by definition, sparring. GS

Hey, why not? Some might even consider it to post on here :D

That's true. Most trading systems require what may be defined as a mild form of realtime processing. That said, choosing a language for development is mostly a matter of personal taste. GS

tireq & steve46, Knowing that I have a system with statistical edge or not, made no difference to me. I hope you are not both speaking theoretically, but formerly I used to think like you that "if you have a statistical edge you know why you're starting to lose money" but, sadly, after...

Excuse me, but even if you have a proven statistical edge, your properly tested system can start losing money anytime. Also I think to compare casinos' edge to a trader's edge is misleading because casino games are based on a very restricted rule set. Market are changing continuously. So...

A more correct definition actually would be: men are egotistical (selfish), women are egocentric. Women use emotions to get attention because they are egocentric. Regards, SG

Ok. Then he can come back and post more, if he wants to.

Well said. GS

Well, if he thinks he can get people interested in trading by praising allah, he must really come from a different culture. GS :D

Chances are 99.99% you are an impostor. But in the remote possibility you were not: You should seriously consider that as the number of you mujahidden is increasing, your heaven might already have ran out of virgins. You are hopeless. Your whole culture is flawed. There is no greater value...

Another undesirable feature of NN is that they truly are "black boxes": it's difficult for the programmer to understand just why a buy/sell decision has been generated. Exactly as it may be difficult for a truly discretionary trader to explain precisely why he acted in that particular way. GS

Hi QT I'm a "family" trader too. I like your journal, please keep it alive! All the best GS

Those who know do, those who don't know teach, those who can't teach teach to teachers. :D

Hi Would you care to elaborate a bit more on this thought? GS

Of course it depends on such things. The models I used in these experiments I had already applied, quite successfully, to other domains such as pattern recognition in electrodiagnostic systems. But there are less complicated ways to become profitable. GS
