I guess you like fallacies then. According to your argument If price movement is not dependent, then TA is debunked. This argument cannot be used to support the conclusion that if price movement is dependent TA holds. Concluding that from your argument is a notorious fallacy. Try to...

You diverting the discussion to things like grammar and this is real trolling. I read and write in 5 different languages and was not born in the US. The syntax I made is perfect in many other languages where the verb takes an ending to indicate the subject. By the way, stick to the subject. You...

and then you call others trolls. Let this post remain in the top 10 of ET. Holes don't dig men? I am glad you know that much. You must be the byproduct of public education in some third world country.

That is not what you said before. You should be very careful with logic. Before you said that since there is price movement dependence, that confirms TA because the theory is based on movement dependence. That is a fallacious argument. Now, if your 3. If price movement is independent...

Since you are here I have a question for you 5 men dig 5 holes in 5 days how many holes dig 10 men in 10 days?

Did you reach this conclusion in the 6 days you have registered here?

No. You conclusion is based on a notorious fallacy called "denying the antecedent". TA may be not effective for many other reasons and still there may be series autocorrelation. Let me help you to see your fallacy: Your argument is TA => partial dependent of next move on previous moves...

The problem with TA is that you will maybe get a good signal and make $X but then lose 2 x $X in the next 5 signals. In books people will include the pattern that made $X and "forget" the other 5 that lost $2X. It is a behavior borrowed from everyday life. We remember only the good times, good...

So why you do not have any data for 2009?

Is this simulation or actual trades?

It looks like that your system makes no trades for all of 2009. Something is not right. What timeframe are you working with? By the way, the low profit factor is not acceptable in professional environments.

I agree with jcl on this one. It looks to me like this program draws vectors to future high points corresponding to entries and then fits patterns than make the entry profitable. Similarly to what someone would do in hindsight looking at a chart. One way to check these exit conditions for...

Risk/reward of 1 to 3 for a short term position system may be hard to get. At least I always had time getting to that excellence:) Check out the system they have on their website under Screenshots for EC. Overall an excellent tool if you know what you are doing with it. This is of course true...

Please do not post zip files. Post jpg files only. Only risk takers will download your zip file and click in its contents. Anyway, what type of timeframe are you talking about, how many trades did you get and what was the expectancy and win rate?

Nobody stops you from doing a few trades and investments even when you are 80 years old or older.

Could you explain what 0.15 for average trade stands, in the case of the second strategy you posted for example? The product of the average trade times the number of trades should be equal to the net profit. In your backtest this is not true.

Of course he won't. Not because futures trading is not scalable but because you sound like someone who has never traded real money.

You mean you trade futures and you make 1% a day on the average? Soros will soon give you a call to buy you dinner. (The other possibility is that you are just day dreaming, DD you know).

On the average? Not even a wild dream. However tells you this is realistic or even remotely possible is an idiot of grand proportions. You are talking about a 250% gain per year, consistently. Nobody has done this for more than a year AFAIK.

Attention all Marxists and confused Socialists: Nobody is spending your money when purchasing a luxury item, like a mansion, a sports car, whatever. Actually, the purchases help to feed workers who produce those items. It is clear to any logical human being that Socialism is based on envy for...
