Hey check out this code dating back to 1983. To run the code, get the interpreter from this link below. Just change the file extension on the attached text to .BAS and watch it go. http://www.oocities.org/KindlyRat/GWBASIC.html

flyingdutchmen, Thanks for looking at my code and commenting. I'll be completely reevaluating it soon and will keep these tips in mind. Sorry the late reply. I took a long break from all of this and just focused on basic programming skills for a while. I had some fun studying GWBasic that...

Thanks, i've included (above) the MT4 code i used to test. This is the code that produced the chart i posted previously. I'll see if i can port your version to MT4.

Ok, here's an ultrastripped down version. Grab Row 26 and drag the formulas down as needed.

Hi steve, This is generally how i think of it. As far as i can tell, we're on the same page here. Whether this works or not is up to the bits and bytes to decide whenever i get around to running some more tests. It was feeling like work so i took a break to so something more fun, like...

Ok. I have it set up to take one trade per bar whether its an hour, four, or a day. I can also change the MDRR by changing the number of outliers i want to dismiss. Nuke dismisses typically 4 bars out of the 21 or so ( 2 long and 2 short outliers). Anyway, no matter how many bars i keep or...

The following pic represents another way that i've heard/read NukeTheWhales31 explain the concept: I've not tested this yet, but i will.

Well whatever the problem is, i hope to get to the bottom of it in a few weeks. This pic represents the basic concept as i have understood it. This is what i've tested with tick data. There is another concept however that seems also to have been floated in this thread, which may represent what...

I just checked. For the Philippines, the average annual inflation rate for the last 9 years is 4.88%. Assuming they are fudging the numbers downward (like the U.S.), a dollar-peso exchange might be a wash comparing inflation rates...except for the general extra buying power (100% ?) the dollar...

I like Asia. In the mid-90's i liked the way every dollar i brought to the Philippines seemed to double in buying power. Hmm...Let's say i have an account in the US that trades dollars (trading from Manila) while i periodically peel off a few (less than $10K) and convert them to (P.I.) pesos...

I'm ok with getting out. If i'm elsewhere, i'm fairly certain my income must come from trading because i do not consider myself otherwise employable. Nor am i interested in employment, at least not in the traditional sense. Since i am not of means, it seems i must learn to trade better than...

So maybe this isn't such a bad idea. Is the idea to convert declining dollars into a stable(r) currency? Once converted, would you stay in that currency and trade the local stock market? Trade interest rate differences between global currencies? I guess this is presuming <20% annual is...

Wow! :( That's pretty sobering. So then, if you had to choose between relying on wage increases to keep up, or trading (performance) improvements, which would you choose? Probably a no-brainer eh?

You're right about the 5.59% annual rate of compounding increase. So, if you're also right about the 6-8% (inflation/destruction) then we are spinning our wheels (pun intended), and/or going backwards (on a basket buy and hold strategy). Does this mean that the only way to possible beat the...

Thank you!

If this is hell, then you've already got one! :eek:

I see! Would you consider a 40 year period to be relatively short, thus indicating hyperinflation and currency destruction? Hmm...how did you come up with 5.59%?

I'm not sure how to interpret this. If a crystal ball said the Dow would be 9x it's current value in 40 years, you would take all your money out of stocks (immediately?) and move to Asia? Or, you think this could happen in the next 5 years?

If you had a crystal ball that told you the Dow would be at 100,000 in 2050, how would you trade the overall market for max gains?
