Linkedin is big in India, used as a platform to get new IT-jobs and to have some sort of trust by social networking in a country where trust is hard to come by. Aquisitions are not bad in and of themselves. Depends what one makes of it.

"Because they can". Not my words, but somebody's. My words would be much harsher on "Capitalism".

IT professional :cool: I started as developer but am now in IT Operations as liason with the business side. Tend to focus on logic in the markets that can be exploited by autotrading (daily tf). Started with the newbie way of curve fitting. Have gotten better at curve fitting after 6 glorious...

To be fair, the company has always been playing "catch up", and have succeeded doing so by being "good enough", consolidation of many technologies, marketing, aquisitions and shady deals. Just more of the same in that respect.

People associate them with Windows, but actually, their greatest achievements have been Office. Nobody has yet managed to deliver something equally performant and userfriendly. Kudos to the Office team! As an OS vendor, the writing is on the wall. Only option left is to sell users to...

Personally, I think it pointless to discuss such details until full disclosure of trading plan, and we won't get that. Generally, I'm impressed by people reading other people's points, percentages, ES, whatever, without clearing assumptions first :sneaky::rolleyes: Anything's possible, and it's...

Witch hunters are only good for witch hunting it seems. :banghead::p No point trying to explain anything to someone who are out to "get you". Myself I simply read it as possible simple mechanics in your system, ie. to take smaller/quicker losses when a big one occurs. Pretty common trading...

In the older times, people blamed God, demons, faeries, spirits along with a bunch of other superstition why things happen the way they do, and eachother. Today we blame the society, education system, the markets and eachother. Generally, people are very bad at reading probabilities and...

Totally agree. Only price is the true master and cannot be predicted 100%, except in hindsight by "curve fitting". However, prediction and finding possible high-probability trade setups are two different beasts altogether. You only need a couple of setups during a typical chart. Shouldn't need...

If price touches the bands, I'd naively, if disregarding main trend, anticipate some sort of continuation of PA, not reversal. Though I can understand that newbies would hope to expect reversal at ie. 3-4 SD, and go long directly there with infinite position sizing. What do you mean "properly...

To explore mean reversion you could check out bollinger bands. They make it easy to generate "signals", ie. track movement from outside band to the inside. That alone is hardly enough, but a good place to start as any.

Not questioning your motives, but your insight: Care to share your thesis on this? Of course, such a blatant statement such as those above must cover all possible permutations of edges that are to be found in all markets.. If this is your conclusion, why try to trade at all? Not saying HFTs...

Are you chasing lower and lower timeframes still? If so, that can be a serious impediment to making progress. You're not going to find any edge in lower timeframes (TF) that you can't more easily find and exploit in higher timeframes. If you believe you're going to compete successfully against...

Sir, You are too kind!

I have a trade idea that could work. Requirements: 1 nagging wife On days you feel wife nags you, sell the next day. On days you feel wife supports you, buy the next day. On bland days, hold. This could work if you don't have too supportive wife!

Depends. Do you need to become consistently profitable?

There's no "single thing", no holy grail. There's no button to push and out comes success guaranteed. I will mention 3 things, not just 1 thing. Studies have shown that statistically 2/3 improvement initiatives have either neutral or negative influences on outcomes. Generally, only 1/3 of...

For me, performance is not a deciding factor regarding a system. How and why it works should be understandable, reproducible and logical. If truly met, I don't even need a backtest or proof. Visual graphing do help though, both in deciding what to throw away, categorize subsystems and what to...

Btw if you are interested in different types of seasonal patterns, Larry has made quite many webinars / lessons on that. Its one of the main stuff he teaches.

Regarding Larry, hes mentioned he has people creating pattern matching algos for him, but I suspect hes not selling those and its entirely private. Yes, Im thinking about visual patterns, not permutations of hidden ones, which is probably why your algo is so cpu intensive. Yes, being a systems...
