To a profitable trader, an edge is very personal, like a girl he loves. In trying to express what an edge means to him, this simply would take up too much of his time in order to bother with it. Edges in the sense used in this thread are mainly loser's dream phantasies about magic wands to...

To late to do anything about this. Cry about it and re-read: "The Road to Serfdom" and "Suicide of the West". In truth, things can move quite fast. Go to a serious public library and open a "reputable" newspaper volume of 10 years ago. Compare with the news of 2006. In fact, Western Europe...

If you meant to do something looking like mathematics, you should use the right terminology: not "series" but "sequence".

Electric, Why don't you start with giving us YOUR figures?

OddTrader, I like that. Of course, in my viewpoint, backtesting goes TOGETHER with system development. Point already often taken up at ET's: No competent profitable trader will ever reveal anything about either.

cause it sounds great to a lot of losers. :D

Oddi, What are you doing in Jack's threads? You never answered my question. I never discovered anything in your posts explaining or adding to Jack's ramblings. In fact, to make a LOOOOONG story short, why not you, Oddi, being Jack's stand-in for the proposed Trader666 trading contest. I'm...

Yeah, don' hold back on them tips. :D

I gave up on Qcharts about 6-7 years ago. Going by what I read since, things haven't improved at all.

Took a bit long before trying to arrive at something sensible in this thread. Simply restate the above without the fuzzy gobbledygook. Read further:

Sorrowful "factstater": Why would atheist's IQ being lower make less sense than atheist's IQ being higher? How come you didn't protest the latter statement in the first place? "I guess I have to call" ya a multiple moron. :p PS: no apologies required of multiple morons. I simply love to...

Is a trade deficit good or bad? It's excellent as long as you keep on finding the necessary fools to accept your IOU's.

This being said: where does that wretched guru make that money? For sure, not in the market.

My computer can.

Looks down to me (!3:35 EST)

yes: Yawn

Absolutely. You better make sure though that you have an adequate fire alarm system to keep watch. Computer fires happen.

For me quite a bit below 20% - better below 10%. Getting lower commissions is always a good idea. You need to have volume to get anywhere, which is usually too risky for a start. When starting from a profitable system, holding your positions longer is very good but VERY DIFFICULT. Most of...

Glad you added 'perhaps' in the above. If you would make it 3 years, I would say that's too short. Better think about 10 years. This is my honest opinion. Many will protest, but don't forget, 95% of those who loiter around at forums are losers.
