No patterns means no trading. Most patterns are random, this is true. Some patterns are not random. Good systems separate non random patterns from random. Make order out of chaos it is called. There is program to find many patterns in data with your preference of parameters. Example of a very...

0.5% is liquid stocks is a very small change and not good enough for stop size.

My grandma is using Amibroker...

Kelly is for loonies. You are not serious to be asking whether you should use it. Regardless, win percent and avgwin/avgloss ratio are not stationary random variables. Which value to you? My answer is a loud NO. Even if your instruments are not correlated. If there is correlation you will be...

What happened to USD? When everyone was talking about a rally to even down to parity with EUR it stalled. Media effect?

I agree. Then they will come up with another law that you have to keep your wife for at least 10 years.

Nothing has changed for swing traders like me in the last 10 years.

Another one who thinks he has got infinite time to win in the markets.

While you, I and others are waisting our time with silly toys like Amibroker and Metastock, this guy I know makes fortunes trading commodities and stocks by reading quotes off newspapers. His computer has so much dust, he is afraid it will burn if he switches it on. Moral of the story: in...

Good for backtesting? Are you kidding me? This program has probably screwed many technical traders with its defective backtester. Read this paper, although the authors refuses to name the two products involved, one of them is Metastock for sure. I don't know about the other one...

I think one of the programs is Metastock. I am not sure about the other one. These companies should be sued for millions or even billions of damages because I am sure they new the flaws were there. I tried to contact the author of the paper to find out the names but he did not reply.

How do we know that your program won't install a backdoor and steal passwords, cc numbers, or other important info. Oh yes, you will come back and say that you are a nice guy and you would never do something like that to fellow traders. I don't believe you unless you post a copy of your drivers...

I just finished reading Profitability and Systematic Trading by M. Harris and although I do not like all that code at the end because I will not use it, the book has one of the best chapters in risk and money management I have ever seen, for practical traders, not for academic research.

Which contracts? Oil trades every month. Continuous? Adjusted? If a adjusted how? Hard to get an answer if the question is so vague. http://www.pitrading.com/free_market_data.htm

Speak for yourself. You are known to chicken out too: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2695031#post2695031

I was as random as yours. You have no basis for making such claims. The trades were generated by the data according to specs, not by my own rules. The only rule was a time delay in opening a position after another was closed for the purpose of varying the sample size. It disproves your...

Contunued Now, if N = 3. you get 54 trades, 28 winners and 26 losers, Success rate is 52%. If N = 4, you get 46 trades, 26 winners and 20 losers, SR = 56% N = 5, SR = 57% N = 6, SR= 56% N = 7, trades = 40, SR = 57% you get the idea idiot. At the same time, the Harris system...

As you can see liar and conman, this system generated a sample of 56 trades during the same testing period and 50% were winners. Now, you really wasted my time with this nonsense, I hate proving to someone he is an idiot, but you deserved it. Here is the list of trades., if you still have...

You are the liar as it will be proven below. For starters, I have explicitely descibed to you why you are wrong. First, I explained to you that your system just follows a trend on hindsight. You fail to understand it. Then, I tried to help you understand that you made a wrong application of EL...
