The bad smell of curve-fitting is all over this topic. Are you people so naive or what?

pf < 1.5 means random trading and possibly a lot of luck but an accident to happen. Mine swings between 2.5 and 4.5.

Retired?

I am also looking for someone to do the work for me and I get the credit. :)

It is not the same spectrum of problems. Data mining bias can be a good bias. It can work for you rather than against you. Do you actually think that data mining bias is always bad?

This is a good question. Actually very good an one I have tried to find an answer to. IMO it depends how good and robust the strategy is. If it is a good startegy, it will take much longer for it to fade. Most of what you find in books doesn't work from the start. It is stuff for losers because...

In trading, generalizations, are meaningless. Trading system performance is path dependent as DontMissTheBuss (where is this guy by the way?) has plainly and nicely put it once. As a result, if you are following a strong trend, exit may be more important than entry but if you are doing...

A few good tehnical posts from priceaction lab about SPX/SPY: http://bit.ly/xRgfts http://bit.ly/zoQqAn Here is a very interesting post on the SPY/FXE correlation: http://bit.ly/ybKo8p

LTCM had an edge but was overleveraged and was liquidated before making a huge profit. If you do not overtrade you run no risks like that. or get a system with a very high edge and watch it RTM. See this thread for detail...

Too bad to see them go like that....But with yahoo!, Google and others providing free data it was only a matter of time...Plus trader population is shrinking fast...Can anyone guess why? Look for example at the diminishing activity on these boards and elsewhere...Too bad...

Why do you think the inverted H&S is more important than the potential double top? If you trade like this you will soon be out of the game IMO.

Irrelevant... If I can find a trading system that will perform well for the next 10 years I can become rich. When I lose 30% of past profits I trash it. I still keep 70%. Some people get lost in details and they miss the forest.

Nothing you said made any sense. They are probably pulling your leg or taking the other side. Waow...Hedge funds beware.... No undercapitalized trader makes money consistently. Commissions will kill your account. IB won't sign you for this amount. You will have to pay at least $7 each...

I tend to agree. USD is also rallying and gold cannot hold high for too long. Fibo levels: http://bit.ly/zNcllE

I'm sorry but you don't know what you're taking about. If you think American banks have high leverage you are totally ignorant of the situation. European banks have average leverage of 30 or above according to other measures. American banks have average leverage of about 12. Are you suggesting...

The FED and the ECB and all central banks including all free market systems are faced with an audience with complete ignorance of how the system works, an audience that includes you and those who talk about destructive sides and worthless dollar without suggesting any alternatives at the same...

What is wrong with some of you people? It is the job of the FED to do what they think it's good for the economy and for banks. It is not your job to crititicize that because you have no idea why and how these things are done. http://www.frbdiscountwindow.org/dwfaqs.cfm?hdrID=14&dtlID=75
