The best and most practical comment :D

I duno if he is the coolest but sure I like his thinking the most.

kids are picture of society. get ready for civil unrest.

+34%, 5% worst DD. mediocre compared to '11. fx & indices. AUD responsible for nearly all profits. 11 trades.

cute :)

if you take out best trade in every 50 trades batch, your return will look miserical at best. It just happens that illegal behaviour described earlier intensifies before larger move. I got dose of this while ago and realised that shortterm is not sustainable option because of manipulation so I...

totally agree. but if one plays perfect only setups (few) then bet size can be increased, providing it is not play with noise as markets may react on your size - so longerterm.

short term traders are in big sh*t as algos destroyed edges permanently. And there is nowhere to hide. Trading longer term is answer but 2012 felt like dead horse kicking. Also you need stellar win rate as length of trends will be mediocre and cant count that good 1 winner will clear all...

consider this: lots of people use volume for decision making as it is popularised quite a bit and seem to provide some edge. As technology now here, algos can be programmed to take money from these players. :D

issues are deeper in my opinion. all the corruption and payouts and bonuses eroded confidence in stocks. Company A buys company B, paout for managemeet large. These guys change position to company C and then company C buys company A and returns favour..... if this is allowed, then one gets...

trend following is crowded trade. easy to learn and execute - provide one has balls. it will be good again at some point but not yet.

It is clear you are really good. No substitute for experience. I cannot imagine 80 hours week working. But if I decide to do have trading as a sole income, will probably have to do the same. Your point about lean years for longer term trading is soooo valid.

15 trades a year, cant remember when lost last. getting a bit suspitious, waiting for string of losses.... Spend probably 10 hrs a week doing it. check markets 2x a day

123, soory did not read all thread but you claim to post entries/exit in advance. Do you have equity curve based on your signal posts so far?

been there done couple of times. Technical systems are notorious for suddenly reversing the edge. moved to another level and see market as multidimensional. price action is one dimension only. I include now news, sentiment and fundamentals, one dimension each. PA is last one to wory about...

thanks for contribution.

practically useless. if you unlucky after 20 years, still down. HUH. I am afraid, trend followers have to learn how to switch to opposite mode.
