Blown away by this post. Particularly after having spent the weekend working through "Trading in the Zone" - Thankyou NoDoji. This is printed out and put in my regular reading folder.

*cough* @lajax and Myself are under 50 :)

Hi there @melmak This is great advice. This is where I am at presently. Trust me - the difference between having a hypothesis and having stats is immense. I'm nowhere near ready to be trading this live at present btw Maybe I'm more cautious than other people.....

Taking responsibility is the cornerstone of a winning attitude - M. Douglas

;) I knew someone would have the balls to say that! I wussed out!

cheers. This first setup is based more on balancing markets and AMT. Trending markets and SLA style entries will be tested and integrated later :) I focussed more on range based entries as reversals jumped out at me the most when I did the 100 ranges exercise. I thought it best to focus on...

Close but no cigar ;) Calculations are skewed as comms are taken out of gross, not each trade. This means that BE trades are included as wins. I haven't munged the data to take comms out of each trade yet as this run was proof of concept. That means the averages will be a bit off. As...

100 posts - yay for me ;) How’s this for synchronicity? My 100th post documents my first 100 Trades. Small things, small minds I guess. At any rate. Here goes….. I’ll post the results first and then talk a bit about the process, and how I'm interpreting the results….. Boring stuff I know, but...

That is without doubt the best trading system name I have ever come across.

great post Gringo. :)

damn - here I was thinking I was clever working it out ;)

You mean in a polite educated civilised manner?! We can but hope.... ;)

Agreed. Just to clarify I was referring to Mindfulness rather than Dayton's book. As a tool. There is a fair amount of science backing it up.

True, but each person carries their own baggage into trading as with any other pursuit / career etc. Would you agree? The need to detach ones ego is not limited to the trading arena, but just look at these forums - each struggle to profitability or ruin is different. I remember @fortydraws...

:) Ahh Matrix quote time... I can only show you the door Gringo - you are the one that has to walk through it - Morpheus

;) More for the psychology stuff. Don't like him much?

Just wondering if anyone here has read through Gary Dayton's new book : Trade Mindfully. Apologies if it's already been mentioned... I'm reading through it at present. Though I've been into all that pinko - hippy - greeny - mindfulness stuff for years... So its preaching to the choir with...

That's really encouraging - thanks for posting that.

I know personally I've held off trading Hinges until I've thoroughly tested them. It's on the list, but I've really focussed on getting my first 'setup' tested, implemented and executed as accurately as I can. The Trade Plan I go live with will have other entries integrated in time, but theres...

I'd classify myself as a frustrated data geek. The problem for me is I should have paid more attention to STATS101 in University than when the next Pub crawl was! Maybe If I had I'd be better at stats... The other benefit would be a greater number of brain cells to analysis the data with as...
