    Price Action Lab Question

    I sent you a pm. I'm using the program and I would also like to exchange ideas. It would be better if we talk via Skype. Let me know.

    Backtesting Software

    Which software do you use? What do you mean by "fake signals"?

    Sites similar to Collective2?

    Funny. They offer free trials. Naive developers list their signals and someone with multiple email addresses can get them for free. Isn't that a stupid business model for developers?

    Is Trading a Perfect or Imperfect Information Game?

    GS is not acting like the typical trader here. They are market makers amongst other things. They differ from you and me because they have scores of highly trained people to process information fast and efficiently. You and I don't have that. They have the same information most of the time, just...

    Is Trading a Perfect or Imperfect Information Game?

    This is philosophy. There is no such thing as "perfect". Just forget about it and concentrate on developing a system with a good bias for profit.

    Top Performing ETFs

    I find the information in this thread useful. Also, I like the etfreplay.com website. The analysis by Michael Harris in his blog is also very good and related directly to ETF tickers.

    Systematic traders! Hear ye! Hear ye!

    If you are allowed by a crazy broker I suppose to run a negative equity curve, crossing the zero equity line, or even an upward slope in the curve, amounts to making a profit, not having a positive drawdown. I think you should display that part of the drawdown as equity, maybe with a...

    Trade Management for 2 trading schools (Continuation Vs Mean-Reverting:)

    I don't like that fancy term "expectancy". Why don't you simply say that what matters is making a net profit. It is equivalent mathematically to having positive expectancy as it is shown in this blog: http://www.priceactionlab.com/Blog/2010/12/what-is-a-trading-edge-part-ii/

    Why isn't the Dollar Flying?

    The US government wants the USD low to boost exports. All currencies are worthless. The dollar will go down last.

    What was the random entry/chandelier exit study?

    I have no problem with your English. How could I? My grammar and syntax is terrible. I make tons of mistakes. I'm not calling you a fool unless you are one of those who think they proved entry is not important. I tried to explain to you why they thought so: they don't understand probability...

    Systematic traders! Hear ye! Hear ye!

    IMO the asnwer to this lies in the "many systems" concept. I think the analysis here http://www.priceactionlab.com/Blog/2011/03/time-to-hire-a-monkey-not-really/ also applies to MCS simulations. If you randomize trade order, you essentially have different systems with uknown logic...

    What was the random entry/chandelier exit study?

    No wonder why in my school probability & statistics was the hardest course. When math professors wanted to get laid they made it a requirement for marketing. Some old names have never understood probability & statistics. It if funny that a lot of people actually paid and still pay people who do...

    Random buying and selling, and day trading

    You have missed his whole point. Dynamics is a deterministic world. The George Melas design made it difficult to predict the final position of the ball. The Wikipedia entry is wrong. By using "low profile" pockets, the ball would jump out of a pocket frequently and then land on a different one...

    What are the Best Stocks to RTM Trade?

    This is the way to develop trading systems that go against the herd. Good work Bill. I'm glad you liked my approach.

    OptionsXpress order placing problems?

    This morning bid/ask updating was not proper. I tried to place an order to close a position and I got a time out and notice to contact administrator. I checked internet connection and everything worked fine. I contacted them and they offered to place the order manually. They avoided answering...

    If a Sizable Correction Were To Take Place, What Would be the Reason?

    I thought selling = buying by definition. Maybe you meant lower buying prices then selling prices. This makes a hell of a difference.

    What are the Best Stocks to RTM Trade?

    I already do this. Break search sample in two parts: Past and current. For example past is 1997 - 2001 and current 2002 - present. Set in Price Action Lab the win rate > 95% and trades > 1 and run the search in current sample Select patterns with win rate > 97% and trades < 18 Test...

    What will break this uptrend?

    There is no trend. If you consider the future hyperinflated target of 100K basis Dow, current movement if almost flat.
