Heres how my system draws trendlines (objective): Plots Keltner channels at X ATR above and below the price action Runs linear regression on keltner points. The resulting linear regression is my trendline, and its followed religiously. Its not a "valid" trendline in the sense of...

i would kill to have that sharpe. best system i ever made had better PF and win rate, but that sharpe is amazing.

never. sharpes wayyyyy too small for my likeing. Most of my systems must be tested and be profitable on at least 4 markets before i trade them. This was only profitable on SPI and Gold.

compared to the first P/L chart the 2nd optimization looks awfully curve-fit. i think ud better try it on another closely correlated market with the optimized version. If it comes out with approximately similar results then you can start trading it.

its been very choppy recently and when choppyness starts i dont look at anything but s/r breaks. Indicators give too many whipsaws break above the $65-$67 may signal a significant uptrend but atm i doubt thatll happen. The only reason its stabilized at $60 is that OPEC's been cutting...

i traded hang seng for a little while and got my ass handed to me in more ways than one. I stick with nikkei now, hang seng too volatile for my style

haha. thats cool. cant believe u used to find 20mm cannon shells on da beach. i wanna go get a shovel and go down to the beach and see whether theres any cannon shells leftover :P. oh yeah and methinks itll be schoolies in a few weeks soon, exams finish november :P

lol i made this profitable strategy(i highly suggest NO1 trades it). its actually really funny, hasnt had a losing year in the SPI in backtesting for 10 years. but it only wins (net of commission) less than 25% of all its trades. lovely

every now and then i wonder how bitstream actually handles teh stresses of trading when he so obviously has such a small fuse. Just curious bitstream whether you have ever found yourself going out to a bar to pick a fight after uve had a 20% drawdown. I used to

yup esp wine. I think from memory that kiwitrader lives on the gold coast so he probably hates the annual influx of melbourne schoolies and their VB cans :P

take risks. work hard. IN that order

Freelunch i heard that the joke u just told was cursed and anyone telling it would die a horrible death in financial misery. Good luck There is one strategy which yields 100% win rate. Its called buy and hold an index for 10years. If thats your edge well good luck.

defenders such a damn stupid typical microsoft play. Buy the industry leader, take its propreitary software, get your programmers onto it, and then promptly fuck everything up.

Thats what i usually do in futures. Position trading system + swing system. What constitutes whipsaw to a 2month position trading system can actually turn into a nice trend for a 1week swing system.

i think its the anti-spyware industry. WIndows defender aint bad for free software, has real time protection. If you want good anti then use lavasoft

ill second that, development of uncorrelated trading strats is extremely difficult. One of the things ive found was to analyse the type of market which fucks up your current system and then make one which expliots the market during those time periods. For example if your trading an...

its so sad that there are no more pits left. Theres a certain beauty to them, after all that clicking on mouse and looking at ticks on a screen the trading pit reminds you of what your really doing, the age old practise of speculation. Theres an energy in the pits that u never experience when...
