I really like the basic idea of a pattern matching algorithm coupled with back test of results. Not sure yet which question I'd then need answered though. In addition to Larry Williams using something similar, I'm also reminded of Bulkowski ( http://thepatternsite.com/ ). Although he tries to...

Intriguing, however, not sure which chart you are referring to? Your PNL chart, the excel spreadsheet or something else? When you say 100% accuracy, do you mean that the indicator should predict every direction of next bar's close, or can you skip bars? How long depends on what method used and...

Still learning. For me it's too expensive to try get a fill and then stop the loss very close below current bar (daily TF). Kind of looking at that kind of practice the same way as leverage: When overleveraged, you also tend to narrow your SL. This seemingly allow you to bet larger, which...

I know famous investor Larry Williams has people maintaining such systems. Never actually got around thinking much about it. I guess my poor brain just doesn't see too many similarities in price action accurately enough, though I suspect a fuzzy searching algorithm with backtest could find...

Yes, but I guess the system uses all historical price data in order to "tune in" to price action. That means if those historical prices become obsolete because of some sort of change in the instrument / time series / market, the system could become "falsely tuned" or lagging to some degree? What...

Heresy! Thou shallt neva curve fit! :finger::banghead::rolleyes::D:cool::p Joking aside, curve fitting can be a good tool if you know the function of your fitted curve :sneaky: Would you call your implementation adaptive or optimizing, and on what type of "period" (number of bars, 1/2...

Do you have access to IT support that can assist you? Have you tried changing ports / cables? Have you tried switching main screen in Display Properties in Windows Control Panel (where it is now is anyone's guess)? Had the same issue with two HDMI monitors that supported other connections...

Sounds very much like agile development. However, when implemented in methodologies such as scrum, organizations tend to try to follow scrum to the letter (mandating daily stand-ups and kanban-boards), rather than organizing the people and work to be more practical and smart. Fortunately for us...

@userque : Using ML, NN, AI or whatnot is very far from my current investigative approaches. Do you mind some questions about your system, as to get some rudementary understanding? Regarding practical DIY approaches, this is a very long and solitary road, but often necessary for...

You might want to check out the info in this article. Especially easy is to try a live CD/distro, but you need to be able to return the product if you consider purchasing.

Graphic drivers is one of the few drivers you should expect you want to install. Usually, popular Linux distros supports everything out of the box. But for special needs and latest drivers, you would want the latest and greatest. Nvidia supports Linux with proprietary drivers, unless this has...

This is really like discussing wether the goose lays gold eggs or not. 1. Trading is risky, can cost you more than you planned for and generally require much effort and mental energy. Selling products can leverage people skills, plus reducing costs and risks by dumping your trading risks unto...

Why laptop? Laptops are warm, noisy, limited and slow. Forget the theoretical specs, everything on a laptop is underdimensioned compared to a proper stationary. Am very happy with gaming stationary with 2 monitors. 64 GB RAM has very rarely been filled, but very handy when you need to explore...

I don't need to provide any user experience. Just commenting on your assertions, which seems to me to be more a need for justifying your own choice, and then a need to bash other people's choices when they're different than your own. Maybe you feel a need for that or are compelled to conclude...

That would be more believable and effective if you actually had any rational arguments based on facts, rather than moronic and baseless accusations based on your opinion, current bias and limited experience.

Nice strawman there from out of nowhere. You obviously have an agenda. Good luck with your choice!

I'm pretty sure that if I had a mentor, I would've progressed much more quickly, maybe enough to start making some stable money. However, getting such a mentor that really hits you, in any activity be it spiritual or financial, is very very rare. Even if you find such a mentor, the time might be...

I think I understand what you mean, and this is a nuance often lost in discussion. In my mind, curve fitting is typically adjusting parameters on some kind of indicator, until they all line up historically. Thinking you've revolutionized trading, a newbie fails to see that this historical...

Very simply: If all we can hope for is some index return, just buy a derivative of that index. This is disregarding true bear markets..

Curve fitting to current environment is not optimization, it's adaptive, and can be effective to be more in tune with current environment / what to expect, until market breaks out. If algo blows up, better filter in advance, bur prefer to be more adaptive instead and see if worst case can be...
