The highest price of the prior 10 days is the 10 day resistance level. The lowest price of the prior 20 days is the 20 day support level. Notice there is no absolute inherent single resistance or support level. Everything changes as the number of data points change. Some traders write of moving...

I just chose 400 days for no particular reason. Other values might show "better" performance. I trade to make money. I do not trade to make myself feel productive, or useful, or to feel that I am a productive member of society. Sometimes long term trading methods are the best choice for me...

I win about 45 percent of the time. About year 2001 I lost 19 out of 20 trades. I seek to make infinity when I enter a position (trend follower).

I use stochastics for entertainment purposes mostly on rainy days or if I can not sleep at night.

OK let's see what happens when I apply a moving average crossover method to Coca Cola stock, symbol KO, start 20 March 1967, end 18 July 2006, and follow these rules: 1) When the value of the 100 day exponential moving average value becomes greater than the value of the 200 day exponential...

I don't have health insurance. I save and invest the money. If I get hurt I reach into my pocket and pull out a big wad of cash. I guess I am my own insurance company. I question this insurance business. The medical people want me to pay. The patient wants healing. In between is an insurance...

This random walk stuff is nonsense. OK lets see what happens if I begin trading General Electric stock 2 January 1962 and stop trading 18 July 2006. This mechanical system has these three rules: 1) Buy when price first increases above the highest price of the prior 400 sessions. 2) Sell...

I watched the Miami TV news. I judge hurricane Ernesto as just another storm. Maximum sustained 22 MPH winds.

If you are making more than 25 % per year then please teach us how to trade. How do you do it?

I do not think that is a moving average. It looks like a line connecting the closing prices of the bars marked by blue dots and red dots.

Is this a day trade?

I wonder if you have trouble following ANY plan. Do you follow plans that have nothing to do with trading?

The ability of people that I know to squander their money amazes me. I'm just not like that. I love saving and investing.

Handsome, You might want to practice trading on paper first. If I can't make money paper trading then I doubt I can make money by real trading. You might want to consider your feelings concerning activity, productivity and value. I remember about 20 years ago feeling unemployed and lonely...

You did not post a chart. Is this what you are writing about?

What does "efficiency of the signal" mean? I think about developing a stochastics system sometimes and contemplate using growth of capital / drawdown as a selection criterion.

Why are you comparing a BS call with a binomial european call? What are you looking to show? Option pricing is new to me and I'm not completely following the logic of it.

Even though you are a short term trader I am not sure that it makes sense to optimize over a time period of about six months. Even with 50,000 bars it might not make sense. I worry that a bull market can continue for a year then change to a bear market. Optimization conducted during the bull...
