    So you are ready to hand your money over to a "hedge fund"...

    Price Action based Analysis

    I have used APS, the older program from Michael Harris and I recently upgraded to his new one he calls Price Action Labs. The good thing about it is that you can bulk-test the price patterns forward or in out of sample. I still think that his price action p-indicator is much more interesting. A...

    Astro finance

    I have not been able to find any evidence that the lunar cycle can be used to trade profitably. On the contrary there is plenty of evidence the lunar cycle is useless in trading. This is a rebuttal I found interesting with specific exambles...

    The evolution of my trading - Dumping the indicators & loving small losses

    Where is that shown? You throw in a table which shows losing trades and then when someone notices that you claim that the first trade was # 22 and you blame the poster for attacking you unreasonably. Nobody cares to analyze your sims. If you have a method or system to discuss a lot of people...

Regardless, why do you think people are interested to see your sim trading results? Imagine what would happen in here if every compulsive scalper posted...

    Successful strategies, holy grail and backtesting

    Right. Backtesting not good enough for anything. You can backtest a system and put some extra variables and get anything you want. 10%/day if you like. Backtesting can be illusion.
