What part of "objective, mechanical, profitable" did you not get? Everyone using the exact same system will have almost the same results. It has nothing to do with guessing or gambling. Since you mentioned the turtle guy - do you think the "turtle system" was based on a fatally flawed premise...

I have neither. Maybe I could share yours? :D

I'm just saying you've chosen to view the markets through one pair of glasses. There are others. One view does not necessarily invalidate another. You have proof there is no statistical edge in "trends", still there are profitable systems that thrive on exactly that which you say does not exist...

Wasn't that the guy who wrote a book about trend following, which you just claimed is something that doesn't exist?

I don't really understand why you keep posting stuff and pretend it's "facts". It seems to serve only one purpose, to draw innocent bystanders into endless discussions without meaning. It's like your trolling your own threads. :confused: Did you ever do any serious testing on your own or are...

Of course there are ways to objectively define trends, and you can use the definitions to perform tests. The reason I wondered how you would define trend is you said tests had shown the "trend isn't your friend". So what you meant was that the definition of trend used for the tests in question...

True, but you can't use that as a "proof" that TA isn't what makes guys/gals like Cornix and NoD profitable; it doesn't even qualify as an argument for any side. Which is what you tried to do, I think. Saying that "entries don't matter" is just another way of saying you're discussing a group of...

To further comment on Van Tharp and the "random entries profitable through money management" system - I actually had to go look it up again, I haven't opened TYWTFF for a decade. Unfortunately I can't find the newsletters, there might be more info in them. If memory serves, Tharp had access...

No he did not. He demonstrated that a carefully selected string of random entries was profitable when applying "good money management". Apply the same logic to a string of not so carefully selected random entries and see what you get. Don't believe everything you read. When in doubt, test it...

Here's an article on "tick data" and "quality". Worth reading, even though it's from a vendor: http://www.tickdata.com/pdf/Tick_Data_Filtering_White_Paper.pdf One reason I use tickdata.com :) .

Interesting. How do you define "trend"?

Never give up spread your wings and fly. Modern version :p .

OMG, now that supressed memory will come back and haunt me again. We had kale everywhere, and I really mean that, everywhere :eek: :p .

I don't know what NoD's research says, but you can always look at the nutrient density (nutrients per calorie). There are tables for ANDI (aggregate nutrient density index) online, like this one...

The research was done by Douglas N. Adams as everyone (well, almost everyone) knows and published in several books.

A day ago you were all about how others couldn't see things "in context" and now you ignore context because it suits you? I am with the other poster; you have a deal with Baron right? Stir things up and increase the number of page views?

LMAO :p

:p Please help me and explain what it is I can't understand in context.

Why do you keep referring to a book you obviously haven't read? You think it proves that TA doesn't work when in fact all it did was describe a way of testing simple trading rules. In Aronsons own words (p 450): "Perhaps the biggest deficiency of the case study was the failure to consider...

The dih-teer-ee-uh-rey-shuhn rate of ET is going parabolic. Sad. Surf is just trolling in the hopes of someone eventually revealing their working TA method to him. He does a good job of writing stupid things, I give him that. Is Oily and Surf the same person? Hm... :p
