...in what trading timeframes have you found market timing systems to be inadequate?

...backtesting

...just my lame assed attempt at humor that didn't go over well. Actually I died laughing at your new candlestick pattern discoveries and was trying to add to your satirical jab at the whole genre. I have the utmost sympathy for non-native speakers of English, but the simple expedient of...

...thank you for your kind and most generous offer. Would you please post anything you feel comfortable sharing, especially TA based? Thanks and best regards. - Mike

...thanks for that suggestion. Never thought of it that way, was thinking interms of the longest winning and losing streaks, and how long the stresks following them typically were.

...somewhere else there is speculation there is no moderation this week. If I were you, I would err on the side of caution. You don't want to say anything that's tortable. Be subtle, if that's in your repertoire. You don't have to use loaded words and be negative in a poll to get the point...

...it's a joke, man. Look at my initial post where I defined the rules It's MY poll.

...them was the rules. It's like golf. She couldn't win unless she overcame her 50 point handicap. I mean, she cheats! She's attractive, articulate, comprehensible, everybody loves her. Ain't fair to the mostly ugly old guys on the list.

...I recommend that you Douglas' first book first. It is a suitable introduction to the second, which IMO did not stand alone. Then buy Tharp's Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom (the only one to buy IMO). Be aware that Tharp does not trade, but he was for a long time a highly reputable...

...I think I get the essential disagreement here. You think trades are independent because it's a complex free market. I think they aren't because it's MANIPULATED. How does manipulation fit into your world view, espece de con? Best regards. - Mike

...I walk away if the number of of winning days exceeds that of the historical backtest. See my BS poll today in Strategy: Are you Superstitious. Also I have a backtested profit target for every trade and take it if it's achieved. Best regards. - Mike

...and get a real job.

...sorry, didn't mean to be pushy. Statistical many body problem, huh? Sounds very planetary and orbital. If one of the market planets looks like it might become an asteroid belt, please advise. No one would believe you anyway. The air conditoning bill alone for your Cray must itself be...

...thanks and have a great day. My guess is that you are far better than 50/50, because money management generally won't save a random entry system. - Mike

...if you must insult, at least do it cleverly in a foreign language. Trou de cul, for example, would sound so much more erudite than bunghole. Enculeur des mouches would be even more graphic and amusing. Anyway, I deeply regret that I agree with you, but it IS about the edge. I for one would...

..and please pardon my innumeracy. I am (most of the time) putting absolute faith in my system. However, the equity curve is an output of the testing, and should have just as much statistical predictive value as the entries, stops, reverses, and takes of the system. Therefore I assert with...

...interesting points you raise. With respect to Fourier series (the correct spelling, French is not your native language I presume), I deeply regret wasting a substantial part of my youth attempting to apply Fourier transforms to the markets. The universal result was that about three to five...

...please take care not to post anything grammatical, intelligible, logical, or comprehensible here. Your posts will be better received if they sound like they were created using a random buzzword generator. If Harry really wanted to convert the heathen, he would JUST ONCE make a fearless...

...thanks for the lesson. The way you describe the secondary influences, it sounds very intuitive. Do you make a checklist and vote on weight, or just go by "feel"? - Mike

...thanks for your reply. Without getting proprietary, what do you use to reliably predict support and resistance? Prior highs/lows, prior opens/closes, round numbers, floor pivots, Fibonnaccis, option strike prices, today's open? My problem is that the S/R landscape can get so cluttered that...
