Entertainment between trades during a fairly slow August. I'm getting roughly 2-4 trades per day right now, lots of time to chat :D Today has been great though.

I think they will be busy identifying mediocre trades that day. :D

What numbers do you look at?

Surf said he is a marketer for several funds. He's looking for trading ideas/systems that he can learn so as to pitch to clients. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=247779&perpage=6&pagenumber=19 Makes sense now why he is baiting people to share the details of their...

I'm sure that's what you meant. Obviously you'd need to discuss his work with your "quants in tow" if all you were interested in was "witnessing". LOL Surf, you've been busted buddy. Just fess up. :D

Oh really? Because just a few days ago you wanted to meet Hoodooman with your quant and discuss his method in detail. His system is TA based. He trades using his proprietary TA. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3599295&highlight=hoodooman#post3599295 "Hey Hoodoo...

I already make money. Why do I need you? I have all the capital I need to trade my intra-day system. Maybe I could have used your services back in 1999/2000 when I was still more or less a rook but not anymore. The irony is back then my system was fall less tested and I'm sure you would have...

Ok, so you have a vested interest in learning someone's system. I see, now this all makes a bit more sense.

You said you "make my living finding edge that work in the current market". But you "don't trade for a living". Is it safe to say that you look for OTHER people's edge's that work? So you currently work for a hedge fund?

Low standards I presume?

I thought you were a writer who is also a hobby trader?

Surf, instead of being bitter than you don't have a workable system, why not try and create one?

Thanks Kut2k2, you nailed it exactly. A small mistake in wording has caused such a commotion :D

Come on guy, you know what I meant and it's the same point I've made to you time and again. There are an infinite combination of inputs and sequences which one COULD use to find trading opportunities and, if found, could be tested. My point to you, who always claim that testing has been done and...

That's exactly the point I was trying to get across on the last page :)

I've tried to make this point many times...it always gets ignored by the negative nellies. Of COURSE all TA cannot be tested or evaluated. There are an infinite combination of inputs that can create a working system. To suggest that someone has tested them all is ludicrous. And to suggest that...

Acknowledgement that you've played this "show me" game in the past and when someone or a few did, you still declared their results luck. Or.....proving that WRB is mistaken and that this DID NOT happen.

Surf played dumb when this was brought up a couple times. Said he didn't remember.

Surf missed this post...

WRB doesn't strike me as someone who would just make a story up like that. Plus, it DOES sound like your MO. :D
