Hello ph1l, What happens when you are done with testing (curve fitting) in-sample and you test the algo in out of sample, and the results are not how you like it? Do you go back to in-sample and try to curve fit some more and try again?

Hello Millionaire, Thanks for answering my question.

Hello Millionaire, Thanks for your input. Question please: 1. From your experience trading and reading other retail traders journey, do you believe a Manual Trading Trader can trade your system by hand day-to-day for the next 5 years with a 40% win rate if you never gave them or showed them...

Hello Millionaire, This is the best statement I seen ET in a long time. I haven't seen zero proof yet.

Hello oraclewizard77, You are soo right. OMG, I feel so bad for anyone who is new to trading trying to trade for living. Get a job and trade part time. so muchhh easier. My biggest ah ha ha moment I have realized is, it takes time. It takes time to shine.

Hello KCalhoun, Exactly my point sir. Exactly my point. Yet so many traders out there think they going to Pimp this market day to day for big winners and runners. I rather win +85% of the time then lose 70% of the time when it comes to this trading manually day to day.

Hello KCalhoun, From your experience with manual traders, do you think the average manual day trader can have a 28% win rate strategy for the next 30 years of their life? This means that out of next 30,000 trades (assuming 1000 trades per year) the manual trader will win 8400 times lose...

Hello Blitzjoker, Before I state my comments please read this as a disclaimer: *I am not a consistent profitable manual day trader of +1 years only about 3 months so far. I have never made money trading manual day trader for more than 3 months. Please take what I say as my own personal...

Hello mercury-croc, Unfortunately, I have a lot trading friends and people I have met lost tons of money trading. I can go on and on. One young lady I know, lost about $85K in about 8 months from her folks life insurance policy. This trading business is a cold game if your mind not right.

Hello SunTrader, Fibs "work" just fine to me because everyone think they work fine. I just want to eat where ever everyone else is eating at so at the age of 64 I am not eating dog food with my dog. I seriously give up on trying to knowing it all. I just want a little piece of the pie for a...

Hello mercury-croc, I met people like this too and here is why. Because they have alot of money. My friend "had" about $250,000 about 3 years ago and when I said I was trading SIM he said I was stupid and wasting time. He went straight live about 3 years ago with no experience just like me...

Agree 1000%

Hello tomkat22, Yes I guess that is a good point. We can not forget about those darn emotions.

Hello wrbtrader, I am surprised. I just left demo after about 2 years. Too risky to lose real money with no confidence.

Hello mikeriley, I do not discriminate long or short. I am Slave to the direction of price. If price shows up, I trade up. If prices shows down, I trade down. Master = Price Slave = SimpleMeLike

Hello mercury-croc, From a business perspective, why in the world would anyone every trade real money LIVE without confirming they can make money in DEMO first? That just sounds weird.

Hello easymon1, I currently do not have any live algos running. I am in development stage. But position sizing I will have in the code for certain. I would not be doing trading if I can not scale up. Would be a complete waste of time, right?

LMFAO HHAHAHAHAH that is funnyyy as fuck man I honestly I have never experienced drawdown for algo so I have not been raped yet by the market. But when I view my back test curves, I see the drawdowns like this curve now I am working with. Lol, hopefully the algo do not start in drawdown, and...

Hello Millionaire, Lol, well excuse me on that. I was wrong. They are not bullshit. Both make money. I like both. I lean more towards algo personally for a long term solution.

Hello easymon1, Well buddy, let me keep it simple for you: It is stupid to watch the charts all day, and have trading ideas pouring in my head, and I have no software to test and validate these ideas. This is my opinion. The NQ has moved alot since 2018, and in 2020, if I had my algo running I...
