Don't suppose you'd like to post the code for this one? :D

One thing that stands out is this system is profitable with a win rate below 50%. I agree that this system is not worth the risk but it appears as though there is certainly something to work on here. Improve the weaknesses of this system and we'll probably have something pretty good.

Yes he did. It looked as though he swatted at the second one. I bet he got a good laugh out of it.

EricP, absolutely exceptional thread.

Ok, I stand corrected. H-U-M-B-L-E. Probably the six most important letters a trader needs to read. When you come across a humble trader you know he has made it. He has been beaten enough by the market that he has come to realize there is little value in predicting and no value in being...

A trader's job is to put yourself in a position to win, regardless of what the market does and I'd say the most important characteristic of a successful trader is competitiveness. Tiger Woods would probably make an extremely successful trader. I believe emotion is a very powerful force...

A few years ago a pharmacist watered down chemo therapy drugs and people died as a result. Ban all Pharmacists. A few years ago a baby food manufacturer watered down apple sauce. Ban all baby food makers.

This looks pretty good but to call it the most profitable ever I think you need a win rate above 90%.

I can show you a method of trading that is based on statistics and money management that goes on streaks of a 100% win rate but if you force me to rely solely on technical analysis I'd probably lose on balance. Now don't get me wrong, I draw support and resistance lines all day long but I...

This entire collapse does feel very orchestrated. Why would the government allow these firms to take on such leverage and then stand by the side when they collapse? I believe this is all a carefully crafted plan.

Airlines and Health (and/or Life) Insurance companies will be next. The US is quickly converting to a socialist, communist country where the government will own and operate every major industry. England went through this a number of years ago and the system collapsed. The same will happen to...

Excellent post but there is one detail that is missing besides "wanting" too much. That minor detail is inflation. Prices of goods and services have crept up to the point where one wage earner (full-time) cannot cover the monthly expenses, requiring mom to go and get a job. Mom gets a job and...

Exactly!

I believe you meant to say the Clinton "era" and the reason the economy expanded so rapidly during the 90's was because that was the beginning of an easy credit era. Now you are seeing the end of it and the beginning of a very tight credit era. If Obama is the Savior you suggest he is then you...

Mods/Baron: Your policy reads: "Registration is limited to one username per member. Elite Trader may, without prior notice, immediately terminate any or all of your accounts after discovering you have registered, and/or posted under, multiple usernames." I realize this policy says "may"...

How interesting, the thread was started by Port1385 and a follow-up posted by PortI385 -- note the difference between the "1" and the "I." Same person? Now where is TraderZones?

LOL. Why do so many people think Obama is the coming savior? Obama's hands are going to be tied like no other president before him because the US government is broke.

Out of thin air. All the Fed has to do is "pledge" money. It doesn't even have to run the printing press to back it with a piece of paper. The Fed's pledges are backed by the public's faith in the pledge. That will only go on for so long. The Fed will eventually collapse but it will just...

You actually believe this? The Federal Reserve is a "private" bank. Why would a private bank reveal its financial position? The only thing that has stopped the Fed from collapsing is it has the ability to print money and it doesn't pay taxes. It can print and spend money until people refuse...
