    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    Thanks Runningbear. I admit I do a lot of testing, close to 6 -8 hours a day, and during the weekends too. Now, this is what I have done. I took the QQQQ patterns and I applied them to SPY data just to see whether they were particular to that series. The following is the Amibroker bactesting...

    My take on the SPY

    Yery complicated and subjective analysis IMO. All I need is 2 numbers to place my trades. Just numbers, no pictures, lines, drawings, or anything else: 1. The probability of success in a given direction for given R:R 2. The significance of the probability The p-Indicator as of the close...

    Anonymous surfing service recommended?

    Most of those services disable DEP and other protection of IE and are more dangerous than the good they do. Use a "reliable" proxy server. That is all they are anyway.

    More on APS and out_of_sample testing

    Interesting question. I have done extensive testing with APS and I have found out that it is more capable of finding robust patterns with a high win rate and target/stop < 1. This may have to do with the markets, not with the program I suspect.

    An open honest discussion on the state of Ninjatrader 7

    You see I'm trying to protect you but you are an abrasive personality who responds with ad hominen attacks, I clear sign of mental and too often financial weakness, a sign of a loser. You obviously have limited trading experience. I do not believe that you have a vested interest in such...

    An open honest discussion on the state of Ninjatrader 7

    Do you know what a false analogy is? I guess you don't. Your neighbor can steal your wife. So what? We are talking about NT, MT, TS and similar programs. Can you focus on the subject? I have developed an algorithm which I believe has a certain edge. If you are so sure nobody will snoop at it...

    I like to keep up with the work I do and I continued forward testing the APS patterns since the time I posted the first results here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2834308#post2834308 From beginning of this year and up to 07/30/2010, the QQQQ APS patterns with 1%...

    An open honest discussion on the state of Ninjatrader 7

    There are certain serious issues about using third party software to implement some type of an edge. If you are a chartist NT is fine. But if you are backtesting or implementing algorithmic trading things are a lot different. Programs like NT, TS, MT and other ones can easily transfer...

    Safe route or roll the dice?

    Probability of an outcome is NOT the same as value of an outcome, in general. That is what you (and I forgive you for that) and many overpaid useless professors think (who I do not forgive for that). If you think that by rejecting a few offers, save that fact that you do not know their...

    Edge in trading the Hang Seng Index

    So let me try to get this right. You calculate the real (cash) index and you try to arbitrage the difference between the futures index, with futures of course. Are you collocated to the exchange?

    How to analyze and evaluate momentum strategies?

    Momentum based systems do not fair well during volatile periods especially if using tight stops. You can either relax the stops if you believe momentum will resume to the upside (I presume you were long) or stop the system and use another indicator for when to re-start it. I charge 2% of...

    This is the last study I will post using APS again for SPY daily data pattern search with profit objective = 2% and stop-loss = 3%. After a number of studies I have done including those I posted here, I have concluded that APS has high potential in discovering systems that involve some sort of...

    Does your strat give a "strength of signal"?

    This is interesting topic. The p-Indicator developed by Michael Harris calculates both the rate of success but also the strenght of the signal. I have not looked into this in detail since I only recently got the software. I worked out some examples for another thread in this section using this...

    Bundesbank, Bank of Italy, Bank of France confirm buying government bonds today

    Regardless and besides the fact that this sounds like panic, it is money creation as debt, even temporarily. I wonder, who is making the profit from letting central banks buy bonds and then lend the money to the EU countries through commercial banks. It sounds to me like an attempt to just...

    Bundesbank, Bank of Italy, Bank of France confirm buying government bonds today

    It is my understanding that regional central banks in EU are not allowed to purchase bonds by the relevant EU Treaty. What has happened? Is the Union rules and the ECB circumvented by regional central banks?
