    Option for OP to ban posters from a thread

    A couple of thoughts: If Baron ever chooses to test the idea of allowing an OP to block trolls from posting in his thread, it might be a good idea to initiate it in the journals section… imo, it is particularly inappropriate for others to hijack/ruin/interfere with someone’s personal journal...

    What kind of information do you use for creation trading strategy?

    . Been testing strategies for many years now and my experience has indicated that one can still use different combinations of indicators to create profitable strategies. There appear to be lots of moderately profitable strategies that have around 50% wins and profit factors of about 1.5...

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    "Scataphagos said: When you go for a walkabout, ever run into Crocodile Dundee? What's he like?" - Heck with Crocodile Dundee... ever met the SketchSHE chicks? :cool:

    since about 90% of the traders lose money, what's the percentages of winning trader in the forum. Ar

    I wonder how many individuals who are among the 20-25% winners in any given year are able to repeat that performance and still be among the 20-25% winners the following year. It seems likely that only a small fraction of the previous year's profitable traders are in this group the next year, or...

    Transition from Knowledge to Acceptance

    . Among the responses he made to reader questions, Verma says that having occasional 50% drawdowns is simply part of his system. :wtf: I think very few of us could trade this way... From his responses: "With my system, big drawdowns are inevitable. I use very wide stops and a small percentage...

    Add the losers

    - Trader1974, As I believe Overnight was suggesting earlier, be sure to check out Volpri's journal. He uses an approach involving price action and scaling in/averaging down once he is into trades that is very interesting.

    Anyone else like Kpop music?

    - I just looked and Google says that TWICE is the most successful KPOP girl group of all time. I like their Knock Knock song, but their songs and videos appear to be targeted mostly toward pretty young audiences. Blackpink has been extremely successful too, and their videos seem a bit more...

    What are the best MACD and RSI settings for a one minute chart?

    . Good1, thanks for the links. I hadn't seen the TradingRush videos on YouTube or on their website before, and even though the approaches they show are a bit simplistic, they have the virtue of being highly objective. IMHO the mechanical entries & exits & tests that they present is good...

    Gurus of Backtest ... How to construct backtest parameters to include context?

    Easymon, Just another perspective... I trade short term price swings and see that as a pretty nice trade. Entering at the candle directly above "db" and staying in the trade until price got to the line marked 100% would be a solid trade in my systems.

    Daytraders, When was the last time you stripped down to a naked chart and traded without indicators?

    I'm on the other side of the fence on this one... I started with chart patterns and naked charts but only became successful after I started using indicators. Incorporating indicators into entry and exit decisions using thoroughly backtested rules added the objectivity that I needed. Every...

    Let's Talk About Moving Averages

    - Hi Growley, My experience has been a bit different than others here. I trade nondiscretionary rules-based systems that I backtest as carefully as I can. In my testing I almost always find that the type of MA matters and the period matters very much and MAs can be used in multiple ways to...
