    Fun With Statistics

    At first glance and without looking too deeply (it is New Year's Eve after all), I would dispute your figures purely on the grounds of symmetry. 40% winners should be a mirror image of 60% winners (winners transposed with losers) and it's not even close. Another indication there's a bug in your...

    And you're at home by your computer? Both Shewart and Deming were known to party wildly on New Year's Eve.

    Buddy List

    There's definitely something weird going on with my Buddy List. Sometimes I'm limited to 1 buddy only, adding on 2 new buddies results in the deletion of an existing one etc. etc. This is a new phenomenom - not critical, just letting you know.

    These posts about Shill Trading, taken from the Pro Firms forum, remind me of the old Bill Brasky skits on Saturday Night Live. The skits featured a group of salesmen sitting around drinking and recalling past encounters with Bill Brasky, a fictional character. First Friend of Brasky: Bill...

    ET Swing Trade Competition Journal

    David, the points that you and OldTrader bring up are legitimate in normal, day-to-day trading. This, however, is a competition and, as such, merits completely different tactics. The aim is to have the highest equity at the end of X days. Blind adherence to the tenets of prudent money management...

    Odds are that gamblers misunderstand system

    The probability is about 0.0000000000174 (10 zeros after the decimal point). I find this "statistically stunning" - the author of the article says otherwise. Clearly he meant to say "If you flip it 100 times...", then 47 heads would not be statistically stunning, as opposed to 470,000 heads...

    Odds are that gamblers misunderstand system

    I read till here : For example, a coin has a 50-50 chance of being heads on every flip, no matter how often you flip it. If you flip it 50 times, it would not be statistically stunning if it came up heads 47 times. Flip it a million times, however, and it would likely come up heads about...
