I thought this would be fun. Of course BoWo I had that issue of Active Trader. I'm a pack rat and never throw anything out... it just never occurred to me to find a trading idea in a magazine... nor would any real trader but I know you really have no other resources. Anyway... in 45 minutes...

Hi Wutang, Wutang PM'd me this question and I asked him to post it to the forum because I thought it was relevant. People find me... I do not advertise in any way (quite the opposite). Early on I hired someone I met in an airport reading a trading book... you just never know. I have many...

oh BoWo... thank you for taking the time to write this. It was entertaining. Where do you come up with the claim that I take other people's ideas as my own? I certainly credited my trainees system as being her work... and well I keep coming back to the fact that a little over a year ago...

Umm... yeah... it is too much. You exude arrogance. That's different than confidence. I am not a vendor. I don't need money. I won't accept requests for mentoring etc (anyone who has PM'd me with a request can verify this here if they would like to). I don't expect you to accept me as...

LOL I did post a lot of constructive information in this thread. I did more than you have done -- posted well conceived, properly tested systems that have performed well with actual trading... and showed a system developed by a trainee that has also done well. Each of these systems has...

Again... I'm just worn out after long days at the office... and the markets are more and more difficult going into the end of the year as volatility dries up. Funny thing is, the P&L is fine, but it just feels like we're working very hard and EVERYTHING is a fight and struggle these past few...

You know differential equations? OMG!!!! Wow. You should brush up on stats and probability theory too... that's kinda useful for those of us who trade... but I guess you don't need that in your job as an RIA?

BoWo, I realize this post was designed to be inflammatory, but I want you to know I'm not upset at you. You're obviously doing the best you can with what limited resources you have... you're living proof that you don't have to be smart or literate to post on the internet. Congrats. I...

Yeah I get it... but the moderator just ripped through this thread and pulled out several posts, including at least one that didn't reference BoWo in any way or respond to him at all. WTF? Unacceptable.

You know, the moderating for these threads, specifically wrt BoWo, leaves a lot to be desired. There is a clear pattern here: 1. BoWo behaves for a while. 2. He freaks out and makes a ton of posts... some really inappropriate. 3. People respond. 4. The moderator deletes only BoWo's...

Just ignore him here and don't respond to any of his posts. He's confused and a little dim so don't let him derail this thread again. The risk management topic is a good one. Will get to it soon... kinda slammed by end of year stuff... as I said I'm encouraged by the response to this thread...

Oops... no need to get your feelings hurt. I'm sure you can get a nice back office in the mutual fund industry. I thought you wanted to be a trader. My mistake clearly.

just in case people don't see what you post in my thread... look at this: This is pure bullshit, spoken by someone who has bought all of their models with money they already had, and by one that does not appear to have spoken constructively about any system or process they have designed...

I misjudged you. You're a kid with no real experience... you don't even have basic math skills... so there's really no point in further attempts at discussion with you. It's a clear waste of my time, and is far off-topic for this thread, which is clearly supposed to be about how great you are...

Lol.. no it's not really that fun. It should have been clear with 60 seconds work that you sent him a uniform distribution... nevermind where it came from, etc... and he talks about kurtosis and skew. If I was him I would stop bragging about the quality of my Centre College education and...

System 1 is the S&P Adds Deletes that started this thread off. >Bowo says:The kurtosis and skew doesn't matter to me in this case, because there is such a wide disparity in the maximum and minimum values that it would suggest that there is inherently a lot more risk with this system. Yes...

After BoWo posted some (fumbling attempts at) analysis, I posted the following explanations: Ok thanks for your work Beau. Let me share a few thoughts and give you some background information on the systems. I have to tell you up front that I am a little limited in what I can say about a few...

And then I posted real distributions from several of my systems: The attached Excel file has 4 worksheets: Pairs is a daily pairs model that holds from 2 - 20 days. These are returns for the whole system which trades several different stock and ETF pairs. System1 is a non-discretionary...

I believe there are more intelligent, interested people in this thread than the BoWo trading thread... in fact I find the environment here to be significantly different than it was several years ago. There do seem to be more people here who realize that trading is very difficult and a long...

Yes! I promise. I spent most of the weekend in the office so posting here is kinda down the list of things to do. Looks like the BoWo thread may have been a bust... I thought the guy was smarter than he seems to be and I thought we were making progress, but alas... it appears I was...
