I know from here, that market X can only tank/soar!!!

i agree, the stats make this look like a dip buying system. * I agree with previous poster what is your tie breaker in case of multiple signals * Are you including in your analysis stocks that trade 100 shares a day (always make systems look great) * If your market entry exit slippage...

Maybe thats why they say it! :cool:

hmm...

wtf, $500 BILLION?? and thats in EUROS

do you mean mexicans?

Doesn't that make a joke of the whole concept? Ie I believe the reason for that rule is to not have foreign spin on our media (propoganda). What if Osama Bin Laden or some chinese nationalist because US citizens, used their $$ to buy our media and spin stories in their favor?

can we merge all the threads that are: 1) Someone makes a comment about CNBC 2) Someone posts why are you watching CNBC 3) someone comments how bloomberg is better and CNBC is for noobs 4) someone comments that because #1 is watching CNBC he is a loser. 5) someone comments how...

so which do you think the herd is watching? Who goes to the casino that doesn't have the flashing lights and dancing ladies? Whats fascinating about CNBC is that they act like they are giving u useful information or your "ahead" fo the crowd.. information you NEED to know. I only found CNBC...

I would be surprised if we don't get 50 bps cut. And getting 50 bpt cut confirms that the banks PWN the Fed. Lets see!! (and potentially renew my faith in America if they don't go 50)

Now lets attach a name to this system. We will refer to Lunar Waves, or Q Cycles, or some Astrology, or whatever. Now its a real system! Unbelievably, following our "Q Cycles" system, the average retail trader would actually DO BETTER than on his/her own. He (or she) would justify the...

I have done many tests on the S&P going back to 1996 with random entry and exit (long only). Here were the rules: A) On a given day, randomize a number 1 through 10, if its 5 buy. If not a buy, go to next day. We invest 100% of equity in each trade. B) If in a position (from A), randomize...

One of the things hardest to accept is that the future is uncertain. In Fortune's Formula, one percept that was included that as # of sample increase, the results should APPROACH what the long-term odds should be. For example, flip a coin 10 times, 100 times, 1m times, 10 trillion times. While...

I strongly disagree with virtually everything you've written here. A) "Statistically Signficant" -- how do you quantify that. Do you have a sample size of N? I do considerable backtesting, Monte Carlo, and probably the hardest question to answer is -- IS IT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT. To say...

Whether you refer to chart patterns, etc. Lets take Head & Shoulders, Double-Bottom, whatever. People attribute their success to these patterns or whatever edge they believe they have. When in reality, buying and selling randomly should produce positive expectancy (since the market has a...
