    Trading and Statistics

    I have thousands of profit that would disagree with you on that point. However, I do a agree that a synergy of fundies and TA can often be very profitable. More profitable? I don't know, i rarely use fundies to compare.

    Trading and Statistics

    I would say that I am a statistical trader – I don’t use patterns or charts per se. I use code to find “statistically relevant environments and events” and go from there. Simply put, it is relatively straight forward to define a medium term trend and exploit it for a profit – no...

    tecnical trading, why it works, and why not

    I am willing to take the time to understand all aspects of trading and assimilate what I find is profitable into my tool box of strategies. I will never claim to know everything about trading, or discredit the knowledge of others without first learning and trying and seeing for myself. They...

    How Have Properly Backtested Systems Failed In Actual Trading?

    Don't put too much faith in backtesting. You should view it as a possible performance not actual historical performance. It is like looking through clouded glass - you get an idea of what you are looking at, but until you actually trade the system in real time, in different conditions you will...

    Psychological Journal

    Have you actually backtested your "chaotic strategy" and historically verified that it has some potential of making a profit? Flipping a coin and adding some form of money management IS NOT A STRATEGY. No wonder you can't concentrate at work, you don't have anything solid to put your faith...

    Great Traders Have no Morals

    I am struggling to believe that we have principles and stock market in the same sentence. There are no principles, rights or wrongs in the stock market - it just is. The market doesn't give a fk about you or anyone else. Great traders are impartial, they don't care if the market goes up or...
