I never do this, but it is too tempting .... All of my Intuition Amplifiers screaming CRASH!!!! Just wanted to let you know.

I propose the following experiment. Pick a bar chart. Any time frame, any security. Squint your eyes until you see a blurred image. Take a pencil and draw a line that is roughly following the mid points of the bars. Test a system where you “BUY” if the close of the bar is above this line and...

I have been using Bayesian decision making algorithms for years. I am a huge proponent of them. Specifically, when applied to the binary decision making environment they could be a great help. Lately, however, I have focused my efforts on some natural abilities of our brain to perceive the...

Yeah, I know. Sorry for that. I am not having a good day here. :)

Sure, and the next thing you would tell me is that you draw your indicators on a paper printed chart using French curves and rulers? :D How is that working out for you?

Today market participants find themself faced with a range of what we can call systemic problems, i.e. vastly complex challenges like market-moving events that affect every one of us and are affected by every one of our actions. Such problems call for us to be able to engage in effective...

On each of 100 trials, you are asked to guess whether a light that goes on 70 percent of the time will go on. You get a dollar each time your guess ("yes" or "no") is correct. Visualize the first ten trials. People typically guess "yes" about 70 percent of the time, their intuitions leave them...

Well, the world has changed! Today’s markets are drastically different from years past. Your grandfather's technical and fundamental analyses are no longer up for the challenge. A new breed of computerized black boxes, quantitative algorithms and HFT systems are leaving you less and less to...

I once got to 500K account by starting with 3M :D

Well, the chance of winning a lottery is a lot slimmer than becoming a good trader. However, the Atlantic Lottery Corporation has published that just 1.4 million adults who live in Eastern Canada create over 1 billion dollars revenue a year buying lottery tickets. Go figure! :) At least using...

The correction will happen when the absolute majority of market participants totally accepts the capitulation to the upside. That is how it works. Until then any top pickers will be buried. Cheers, MAESTRO

No, unfortunately I am not that good. I do OK and can trade fairly reliably, but I am far worse than some of my IA traders! (For one thing I am too old to be an active trader). One of them (he is from East Texas) does 2 - 4 % return a day for more than 3 years now. His longest no loses day...

That is a very good start! IA is a very rewarding approach, take my word for it! The more you use it the more insightful it becomes! You will LOVE IT!

I think there is a confusion between the spline based price regression analysis tools and the spline based order flow visualization tools used to teach, trigger and develop stable associations towards the behavioral patterns observed in the order book. The former has its benefits compared to FIR...

The automation question was hunting me for years. On one hand, there are IA based formal strategies that could be written as logic statements, however, their abilities to adapt are limited to requisite variety (complexity, or sheer number of predicates) of the model that they represent. On other...

That is definitely the right approach. There are lots of good money managers that can get you 20% ++ a year with pretty smooth equity curve. If you can do better than them and also pay yourself for the time you spend trading then you should continue to trade. If, on another hand, you can use...

According to our 5 year statistics trading with IB and using their standard commission rates our average profit/commission ratio is %88.2 for Futures, %73.4 for Stocks, %69.1 for ETFs and %77.3 for FOREX (that is b/a spread costs for pure FOREX or commissions through Ideal Pro) Overall, we have...

This is an excellent question! Any market analysis system can only process the information that is currently available and rely on what is considered more or less stable patterns established in the past to anticipate what might happen in the future. The IA systems are not different. We process...

Lots of pros using it. Citi, Cantor Fitzgerald, Arrow-Capital, Optima, W.D. Latimer and many others. I trade with it every single day for my personal account and our company money. MAESTRO
