So you're going on record to say that Renaissance is doing everything by the books, including no spoofing in their code, no insider info, and all trading is done with the utmost respect for every rule? I don't want to jump on any conspiracy theories either, but "facts" when it comes to trading...

On Saturday, you wrote that "current drawdown is -15279 GBP (-12000 USD)". Today you lost -3063 GBP, so without any wins, the drawdown would be 18,342 GBP. But since your current drawdown is 18443, a difference of a dollar, this means that you made no money in the past 4 trading days. I...

You must have trouble interacting with people in the real world. Good answer though.

My guess is that they fully believed in their technical analysis without enough regard for human nature and the random nature of the market when you have so many participants. Its like a retail trader convinced that something has to happen because of how perfectly set up the move is, but then...

But are they worried about what might be found... or just that someone else might steal their trading secrets? Given that there is so much spoofing in the markets, I don't see how they could be getting by without it. I mean do they really look at data in such a much better way than anyone...

That's why most "experts" here who go around saying how much they know won't even go out on a limb to put some numbers on their hypotheses. Look at how much everyone is beating up Volente in his S&P top threads, but nobody ever says where they are buying, even though they are convinced its...

At the same time, how can we be sure that there isn't something fishy going on? Spoofing is just so common, and I see so much of it in the futures that its a joke to say its illegal, but still, if code is found that shows they purposefully do it, it could be a game changer.

Well at least you didn't say this in color with a big font! LOL... So you must think there is a good chance I'm right. :)

Here is what I can tell you with about 95% certainty. Nobody has ever turned profitable by coming to ET. Trading is such an individual pursuit that the more you listen to others, the worse off you are. This is why I know you are full of it. You start countless threads asking people for their...

And this guy continues to troll. Seriously... are you working for Baron in order to drum up business and traffic? If you were making 6 points per day, you wouldn't be constantly tweaking your strategy. You wouldn't need to vent about one or two crappy days as all traders will have a losing...

Oh... the red and green lines. At first they simply looked like horizontal level lines since they travel across the entire length of the chart, but now I see the little squares which seem to appear at the same time of the entry. I understand that this trade will still net over 2x the risk, but...

https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/naked-chart-based-trading-prm-style-less-is-more.304916/page-22#post-4473843 It looks like you entered your long at 5705 for NQ, and rode it all the way down to 5635 before it came back up. If you have stops, then your stop was over 70 points. Not sure...

Its the year 2000. Nobody has any stop losses in place.

That is exactly my point. Extremely unhealthy economy, and yet market keeps going higher. So either the government is directly meddling (ie. buying), or enough people realize that the government will do anything to prevent it going down, so they buy knowing there is no moral hazard. And this...

Perhaps things went lower than they anticipated, but they still nevertheless cleaned up the problems quite nicely. 10 years later and interest rates are still at almost emergency levels and the FED still has a huge balance sheet. They probably learned that they need to act sooner and stronger...

So you're telling me that the government has no involvement in the markets? Lets see, interest rates being such an important factor, they have no control over? The statistics they publish cannot be changed in any way? The way they calculate and change the way they compile inflation data is...

This is the ultimate mind fuck. No matter how fundamentally messed up this entire ponzi scheme of fiscal policy is, you simply cannot bet on rationality hitting the markets. The government has the power to do whatever it wishes to keep things flowing smoothly. I just cannot imagine even the...

Exactly right. When you get caught up in the idea that it always turns around after you are stopped out, then either you entry/timing isn't ideal to begin with, or your stop is just too tight, or you don't know how to re-enter. Furthermore, people who say they are stopped out all the time...

Don't feed this troll guys. He is purposefully making his English sound bad when it in fact isn't. The above two sentences are actually very well put together, and any person who actually knows the word apropos, even if spelled incorrectly, isn't a foreigner struggling with English. This is...
