My two cents, 95% of technical analysis is crap, and for that matter fundamentals don't mean too much either (especially over shorter time frames). The stock market and price action is merely a representation of sentiment: that is, the perception of value attributed to an instrument based...

I have a trend filter in every system i have - trend following and swing. pneuma

So many don't get this bit, but it is the most important. pneuma

You have miss read, 9 systems over 3 strategies and there aren't that many styles of strategies as you have just mentioned. Thus systems within a style are semi-correlated - ie vary in time frame and general approach (but long trend following is still long trend following), and strategies are...

This is what I do. I trade 9 systems concurrently, of three distinct types that are stastically non correlated. This provides a consistent risk adjusted return and lower drawdown. Since the systems are non correlated, all can be traded from the same float as each utilises captial at different...

In the current environment, how is that different to "capitalism" in the US? :D :D :D

Hate to say this mate, but if trading means that much to you then QUIT. The market doesn't care if you lose everything. Other traders don't care if you lose everything. If trading is everything to you, and you do top yourself, nobody will give a shit. The market is the great equaliser - it...

Stop caring about your performance, and start caring about doing your job properly.

Thanks for the reasonable reply. Sorry that you have had to put up with Bush. Our's are, what's your point? Why do you put up with extortion from your institutions? We have regulators that promote competition over here, if the bank want your business then they will give reasonable rates...

You probably know that the Reserve Bank in Australia just cut interest rates by 1% to 6%. The result of this is most mortgage holders will have their interest rates cut by about 1% to around 7.5-8%. Essentially the difference between the Reserve cash rate and the mortgage rate is the bank's...

I heard that hemp was taking on cotton as a major fibre, they demonised the THC and social use and made hemp illegal to protect the cotton industry. pneuma

Don't get me wrong trader, i agree that everyone is responsible for their own actions, however: The arsonist would blame his poor upbringing, parents and mental health for getting off burning things. Personal responsibility was absolved when religion was invented - now anyone can fk up, say...

At the risk of being slaughtered by you lot (I'm an Aussie so I have a pretty tough skin), let me ask this question: If you chaps hadn't kept fking it up (87, dot com and now the credit crunch), you wouldn't need to be constantly bailed out. Can Americans really handle a laissez fair...

what you say is true, however i doubt that they will realize why buy a $20 when you can get a 7 $3 ones. I have the same argument with my misses - i buy $100 demin jeans coz they will go the distance, she buys 5 $20 pairs because she can change with the fashion ... what is destroying...

too many think wealth is a good income, nice car, lush house and good school (and plenty of debt). keeping up with the jones' is what is destroying the western world. the younger you are the more you will think that you can have the assets of your parents without the 40 years of hard work...

Buy what ever you want, it's all crap anyway. They key to success is uniqueness - if everyone did what you did then it wouldn't work effectively. So try everything you read about and keep the good stuff and toss the rest, from that develop your own approach. pneuma

Go to school and learn to write code; C++ or something like that. Probably 6-12 months. In your spare time code a mechanical system to trade highly liquid pairs, and include date and times for economic releases. Base your system on what you have learned in books DVD's and your...
