What's the vol ? It's useless to just say it made 14%.... for what vol ? What's the sharpe...

@peilthetraveler are you trying to create an empirical correlation based on 4 data points ? I would advise you statistics 101 and spurious correlations: https://www.youtube.com/user/BCFoltz and http://tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations

Where are you based?

So.... you want to buy $HACK and just wait ?

Wouldn't that make the second winner a loser ? If you're a winner and you hang out with a winner that's more of a winner than you are, then you are a loser, to the perspective of the winner you're hanging out with.... hence the winner is hanging out with a loser ?

Yes that's trend following. A multi-billion dollar segment of systematic funds that has done very well performance-wise over the past 40 years. It's much more "alpha-driven" than a mutual fund or an index ETF. an index ETF is a tracker, and a mutual fund is a long only portfolio of highly...

Is there 10 major differences between a winner and a loser?

Seriously ?

First person saying anything useful on this forum.

That's my point. Nothing goes up without buyers. So "there's been pretty aggressive buyers" with a screenshot of a TT web platform is just noise marketing bs that a broker tells its clients

What you're saying is obvious, for the market to move up you need people to lift offers, this is how an order book work, do you have an example of a day that moved up without having "aggressive buyers" ?

Market went up so we had buyers ? .......... Or are you trying to say anything useful ?

jk90029, have a look at some professional providers, that'll cost you 200-400 a months but at least you'll have clean, unfiltered data, with a relatively stable API.

It's not because something is low that it's cheap. Here's your chart zoomed out over a few years, would you still be a buyer ?

Buy high and sell higher.
