    "Price Action Only" traders - More likely to be successful?

    Trading is not rigorous science and people can claim their own definitions and standards as long as they define them properly and are consistent with their use. I like the definition Michael Harris has offered for price action trading: "Price action trading is a methodology that bases trading...

    If the optimal f is less than zero or, shoud I throw away the system?

    If you purchased a copy of this book you should return it and ask for a refund. The authors don't know what they are talking about. They are totally confused in this subject. Their formula is totally wrong. I wonder how many traders they have misguided. The correct formula gives 68.15% for...

    If the optimal f is less than zero or, shoud I throw away the system?

    Where did you get that? Do you have a reference. It is certainly wrong. Optimal and secure f are based on max loss and max drawdown resp. and are complicated to calculate. What you wrote looks similar to %Kelly but the formula is wrong. Aha, I just figured out your error. You basically...

    Backtesting with $100,000

    Curious about traders "edge."

    Very vague term indeed. You can have an edge and still get wiped out. A proper trading edge must include a profitable trading method plus risk and money management. It is also depended on skill and psychology. Too complex to define IMO. Below is a link to one of the best references on the...

    Early retirement or work till you die?

    You need to do something otherwise with current inflation rate your money will worth almost nothing in 10 years and you will be flat broke, old and unable to start anything new. Unless you have something like 10M in the bank. Remember 72/i with a real inflation rate of 10%, your money...

    Trading vs Playing poker, will it help with my trading?

    +1 Only gamblers think otherwise. Trading is not gambling in principle although some ex-poker players can turn it into one. Oh man, they make such ridiculus statements, like that in both poker and trading position size is important, just forgetting that in poker as soon as you size your...

    Statistical Arbitrage Stat Arb - cointegration vector - out of sample backtests

    You did not provide enough information to back your conclusions. Did you say the model trades at each close? Why do you do that? What is the exit? What do you trade specifically? Your post is way too vague.
