    "Why Technical Analysis is Nonsense"; Views?

    16 and want to be a trader!

    honestly i would split my studies between math and arts and or especially music. it is amazing to me the number of "well all" very successful traders who either play instruments or are artist. once they all get money they become art collectors and thrive on music in isolation as they think and...

    E-mini SP Counter Trend Challenge

    well think of it this way - we can train a monkey to perform a task to get a banana right. but take that monkey out of his lab and try and get him to do a new trick he has never done before to get a banana and guess what he will fail. so he like the system wasn't too smart in the first place...

    E-mini SP Counter Trend Challenge

    look at the last few pictures and you will see i added 100 slip and 40 commish. i also could have chosen a dozen of so per trade profits from 400 to 1000 and the system also doesn't really care within a day when you place the trade. i think that demonstrates the robustness of counter trend...
