Good post and graphic.

You ought to be very careful as swings can be predicted in advance (ex. overbought/oversold, s&r, etc.) but trends only exist in hindsight. So you are comparing dissimilar things. IMO the only reason that trend following exists is because large size funds cannot swing effectively due to...

For me it wasn't a good experience and I have to admit I lost some and I returned to swing and position trading. My bad performance was primarily due to overtrading with confidence. But more important than that is the fact that robot algo population has increased a lot in past years and smooth...

I think he is charging a lot for support and you will need it with software that was written for DOS.

Is this bear call no 1527? :)

Many charts like this in this blog. Another example. and here one for monthly statistics.

I see no differences from past to present. Volatility is lower, trends last, many patterns are formed. Maybe it depends on the analysis method.

This is a price pattern scanner that generates AFL code, May not do what you are looking for and it doesn't come cheap.

Good it be easier if Amibroker had an option to attach systems to each symbol like it is done in Tradestaion and run a portfolio backtest with them? I am talking about a portfolio on systems on a single symbol. What about the same with all the symbols in a watch list?

Follow the trend. This is also a trade. Bernanke's job is too print dollars when needed and when he did they were needed since they were concentrated at the hands of few. Those who attack Bernanke are the ones who like wealth concentration. Bernanke's action hit most the wealthy.

There are infinite ways to mix indicators so trading will not die but many trading systems will and many have already.

You can get a lot of backtests here Choose the good ones and proceed:) From this blog post. A must read.

One man's top is another man's bottom.

This is know as: "My system worked for a few weeks, made some money and then lost it all and more". I saw this interesting article a few days ago. I think it is a good read. You may want to think about White's Reality test. Here is an article.

This is nothing more than a scanner. The claims are hilarious. Worden Brothers should be laughing. They are talking about finding which stock went up when a certain event happened. This is data mining, no value. Some stock will go up some stock will go down. Even if this happens 20 times or so...

LOL! Geeks think the solution tot he problem is the cloud!

(1) You can try to imagine them (2) You can try to read academic literature if you can make any sense of it (3) Make a list of indicators and throw darts on them (often works) (4) Write code to have the computer do it for you (hedge funds/quants) (1) works for people with charisma. (2)...

20% on the average is possible but not consistently otherwise you have to look for some junk bond that pays 20%. You may make 60% in a year and then -20% the next year and end up with some mean return. According to the cumulative distribution in this blog for SPY it would be an extreme tail...

I think markets have changed a lot. After 2000 there were wild swings and many were ruined out. No simple recipes work. If you are stricken with a 55% draw-down like in 2008 if you do not average down you never recover.

Trade futures only after you have read and understood articles like this one. I think it is better to stick with stocks. If you trade longs only in names like SPY you may do well. This may explain why. Good luck to you.
