Are you a shill?

Don't agree. A member's cog size is proportional to quantity of quality content (c), trading ability (a) and years served (t). cog size ∝ c * a * t

Hi nxt7, Not a complete analysis, but perhaps something at least... There's a lot going on within this range, the 2000 level for starters. Price has interacted with it 8 or so times, depending on how you count it. This level is significant, and although I don't know if price will continue up...

Depends on your perspective. When I, with absolutely zero equestrian skills attempt to sit on a horse the outcome is random, or least that's my interpretation. A jockey has a different opinion. WTF is statistical success? Do you mean being successful as a statistician or do you mean success...

IMO, stop backtesting. Carrying on as you are will only result in frustration. Your approach is naive trial and error, whereas a sound hypothesis based on a sound understanding of your market should be your starting point. The best use of backtesting is to test a theory, but you don't have a...

I just read: His father pleaded guilty to fraud in 2001 and spent five years in prison for scamming $10 million out of family and friends in a Ponzi scheme. Business as usual.

Although probably best forgotten, it's documented here: http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/convexx-about-to-overtake-lucrum-as-most-liked-member.287154/ Genuinely sorry.

Hi Gooby, Understand what the different exchanges offer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stock_exchanges https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_futures_exchanges http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/031815/what-types-futures-contracts-are-typically-sold-exchange.asp Not true. If...

I'm not necessarily voting to stay in, but did like your post nonetheless.

Think we have a hall of fame candidate here... Not to be at all tenuous, but the following is the truth. (Please do not take it too seriously!) Have been doing quite a bit of back testing this year, but not including GBPUSD. Except, about an hour ago for no known reason I applied some tests to...

For all: “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.” ― Abraham Lincoln “If you are going through hell, keep going.” ― Winston S. Churchill “Never, never, never give in!” ― Winston S. Churchill “Let me not pray to be sheltered from...

There's a difference between outright lying / delusion and a few mistaken contradictions. Assuming my BS radar not out of whack - I had londonkid down as genuine. Just saying.

Baron will need to block the IPs of all burger restaurants in a 50 mile radius of the Surf Shack.

A branch off this thread, started by @tradingbiscuit : http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/technical-analysis-vs-fundamental.297382/ This is a bit cheeky, but in the best intended spirit going to do it anyway. Let's summon the big boys (and girl), in no particular order...

How long's a while? Many have said it took 2, 3, 5 or even 10 years to become profitable. TA seems useless to you now, because by the sound of it you're a long way off mastering it. IMO, if you want to trade short term--that is holding positions for minutes, hours or a few days--then technical...

In nitro's defence (if not joking), he was doing this:

Markets, wherever they are will likely cater for their customers. If the majority are in US/Europe then no reason why an exchange at GMT+10 couldn't operate according to NY/London hours or simply remain open 24 hours. But for fun, here are some ideas for candidates in an EU compatible time...

Corbyn = the biggest threat to the UK since Hitler. Not joking. As the public get to "know" him, he'll most likely gain in popularity, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins in 2020. Although, as it stands I'd bet against this happening. On the plus side (as I rationalize it in a non-expert...
