    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=225462 is for me a tricky case. Based on one post I don't think the thread starter is very knowledgeable about trading. Will he dig himself a deeper hole?

    You need an American joke: "Jesus saves, but Moses invests."

    Imaginary "Don't risk your money on myths"

    An explanation is in order. I picked retrace to the open for the hypothesis test because it illustrates a weakness in hypothesis formation. We tend to over-focus on dramatic events: "Oh fuck! Look at that! I knew I should have bought the open and now I have another chance!" The dramatic blinds...

    Weep mine eyes! Don't get me started! One of the deepest regrets of my life is that I was born too late to be in the Hitler Youth.

    Hey! We stole America fair and square! If you are blond haired and blue eyed your Norse forbears stole Russia from the slope faced Slavs.

    That is because American mothers suck their little boys off while they sleep at night. Makes us grow taller from the high testosterone. That and better nutrition. We breastfeed until ten.

    Imaginary "Don't risk your money on myths"

    Yes, the basic code has been working for years. I just plugged in tests for retrace to the open. You are correct, it doesn't work. I'm not stupid enough to post a working system. "Statistically significant?" I assert that there is absolutely no way to make any such determination in...

    You're Americanized! We have a saying here: "Call me when the Comanches cross the Red River."

    I took two years of it in high school. Not long after Sputnik when we thought you Russkies were ten feet tall.

    9/11 wasn't Pearl Harbor. We didn't need to go to war. We only needed assassination teams.

    Could you trade this profitably?

    The accuracies are irrelevant. What counts is the statistical expectation after optimizing the stop loss for the cases that go against you. That's assuming that you exit at the close of the fifth bar and don't need to optimize for a profit stop.

    Don't risk your money on myths

    You will see over here that I have given Murray a jump start. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=225457 I had so looked forward to critiquing his philosopy of backtesting. Now he can critique mine.

    We already have a system like that in place. Women decide. BTW, your English is great. Congratulations. A bitch of a language to learn. And I'm a native speaker.

    Imaginary "Don't risk your money on myths"

    To give you an idea where we are going, the code to implement the simple hypothesis test "does price move tradably after retracing to the open?" requires 130 lines of fairly compact code in EasySignal's Formula Script (efs). How long does it take to learn to knock out code like that quickly...

    In our defense, you're not from here. There are more than enough of us who love to kill that we don't need a draft right now. Understand that America was initially populated by criminals whores misfits debtors and dissidents deported from England under the Crown Transportation Acts. And England...

    Our Selective Service System is alive and well and just itchin' to institute a new draft. Great way to keep young male dissent in check, or run it off to other countries.

    How times change. When I was a kid, looooooong ago, recalcitrant children were taken from their families and placed with famer "legal guardians" who needed cheap captive help. White child slavery was alive and well and institutionalized.
