    Probability of success due to chance alone?

    You have demonstrated no edges, you are lying. All you have done is to claim such edges exist with vague references to absurd setups. You are welcome to post the links to those examples of edges because I have seen none worth mentioning. If an edge exists, one could exploit it to...

    Probability of success due to chance alone?

    This is not a game but a strategy that involves alternating between two games with the payoff of one game depended on its capital. I wonder, where you saw a connectiom between this paradox and what we are talking here. Actually, it is not even a paradox. It is a game setup. It does not apply...

    Probability of success due to chance alone?

    OK, I read a few posts by Bill and I now understnad what he claims. He claims the following: let us assume that a trading system involves some random number generator for taking positions in ES with X ticks profit/stop. He then assumes that his system has a long streak of winning trades, 100...

    Probability of success due to chance alone?

    I'm not an expert in statistics. No such claim to make here. It is a tough subject. I've just taken a couple of courses during my college years. In statistics, std. dev/mean is defined as the coefficient of variation. Now, you invert that as in: mean/std. dev This tell you how many...

    Fed's Hoenig: QE2 is "VERY RISKY", we have no idea what end result will be.

    More QE, $ goes down, food and energy prices go up, Arabs become rich, Americans become poor. Maybe this is what they want

    Probability of success due to chance alone?

    Logic_man, are you Van Tharp? Only then it would make sense you defending so hard such a stupid formula that measures the dispersion of trades around the mean but tells nothing about drawdown, which is in my view one of the most important system parameters. It is the wrong number to use in...

    Trading Lessons/Insights From Coin Flipping

    I see you won't give up with your idiotic statements. If you want to make sure that we know by now you are a idiot you are doing a good job. I though intrabill likes patterns and I do not believe, at least not any more, in edges. So how can we be in the same camp?

    Basic hedging question

    Yes only if you exchange any profits back to base currency (I forget about the spread in the conversions which you cannot escape.) Since the probability of that event is only 5%, that is you making any money in CME, why wasting time to explain to you hedging? FYI only trend followers care...

    How much shold one risk in a single trade?

    0% or 100% are two optimal solutions from probability theory. Any other suggestion is a waste of time to read and think about.

    Adaptive Trading Strategies

    What makes you think this is any better than a continuously re-optimized MA crossover? Actually, this has 4 parameters, two of which are guessed. This is just curve-fitting, on the fly.

    Consistently Profitable Traders - Going Red to Black

    Mike, I am sorry pal, I did not know you have serious problems. This is what your post demonstrates. No serious fund manager has the time to write all that crap you did. You now attacked me based - on referencing a 1993 paper (like truth has expiration) - on a conversation with someone else...

    Consistently Profitable Traders - Going Red to Black

    Mike, I sense you are a bit hostile towards me. I asked you an honest question and you are replying with words such as "bother", "your belief system", etc. That does not sound good to me. It may be an indication of hidden high level frustration levels but I may be wrong it may be just regular...
