Yes it would be wrong because you are crippled from comprehending the multiple comparisons problem. Here you go again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_comparisons_problem This will cost you at the end. What you avoid to deal with will cost you a lot. I just hope you do not avoid the issue...

They look like geeks to me.

Machine learning is multiple comparisons <=> data-mining <=> useless: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_comparisons_problem There is no way in the world that any such procedure will generate a profitable system. But I cannot see the reason for all these buzzwords: SVM radial basis...

From the abstract: "We identify head-and-shoulders patterns using an objective, computer-implemented algorithm based on criteria in published technical analysis manuals" I stopped right there. It is clear they have no idead of what is going on. Lots of people fight whether this or that pattern...

I said that because you said "even though im just learning". It took me 10 days to answer you because I was busy trading. It seems you have no trading experience. Yet you get emotional when someone tries to warn you about possible mistakes. Good luck, you will need it.

When you start trading a real account you will find out that sim and real trading differ a lot. Once I turned $10,000 to $50,000 in a sim account and when I used the exact same system in real trading I lost have of the money. I have not yet figured out all the factors that caused this. If I...

The limitation are mostly in the ability to use software. Even with excel you can make money if you know what you are doing.

Cool results turn into cold results quite often...

Nobody cares if you do have a d*ck and what you do with it. You may go to a porn forum to talk about that. But some care if you have actually used what you suggest. You can only prove that if you provide the Python code for the two lines of EL code I posted. There are no industry standards in...

True, the most dangerous and for this reason the most lucrative too if used properly but only 1 in 1000 users know how.

Sorry dom993, something went wrong for sure as those were cjbuckley4' quotes. BTW I like your website. Very informative.

I do not agree with the suggestions. The OP said he knows no programming. I am surprised that anyone would suggest Python to a non-programmer. His way to go is with something like easylanguage, powerlanguage or Amibroker AFL. Since when is prototyping with Python fast? Let us provide an example...

An example of a "legitimate economic phenomenon"? Trading system performance usually depends on serial correlation and doing k-folds may destroy that resulting in unrealistic results. See trend-following systems for example. It may work for medium frequency but still it is a dubious concept...

The simplest trading strategy is to remain flat and make interest on your money.

Changing market conditions will invalidate your approach. Data snooping bias cannot be mitigated if you repeat in the future a backtest and your old oos becomes part of the is.

It should not surprise you. Quick reversion to the mean is the norm with fitted systems. I have Price Action Lab, which works only with parameter-less price patterns, but I prefer to use it in scanner mode because I like to evaluate everything in context rather than blindly following an...

They do not want to pay.

Selection bias.
