    Introduction to SOC (Self-Organised Criticality)

    Harry I don't see the significance of knowing the cause. If I can adequately describe how the market works using a probabilistic model, why should it be more important to know the prime mover? If, as you suggest, market turning points are coincident with the 'sandpile' cascading until it...

    For the quantitatively inclined

    To me it says that price changes are due to a change in time from some point. Let's say price has just changed to some level. There follows a period of consolidation and then a move to a new level. What is being said is that the markets are moving as a result of the random influence of...

    Zero Sum Game???

    For some insight here...corn yields in my part of the country on non-irrigated land run from 110 to around 200 bushels per acre depending on size of the field. Different parts of a field produce more or less. There are very few small farmers left. I think I read a few years ago that less than...

    The auction for the trading books is over for a day or a few, now. Just want to say thanks to the names I recognized from here who were bidding. If you were bidding from here and I didn't recognize your name thanks for bidding, too. I don't know who the winners were.

    Soros

    "Talk of spreading democracy looms large in the National Security Strategy," writes George Soros in Atlantic Monthly. "But when President Bush says, as he does frequently, that freedom will prevail, he means that America will prevail. "In a free and open society, people are supposed...

    Compounding To A Big Winner

    Re-reading the above post I realize the term 'martingale process' may be somewhat confusing. Here is a quote from the link to give you a general understanding of what I was saying in my note to myself: A martingale, as the learned readers of this journal will recall, is a stochastic process...

    Compounding To A Big Winner

    Thanks for the info. Especially number 2. Edit: I just read a post or two on the IN2WIN/OTEN thread. I accepted your word on this. I don't know your system. But, since I have posted it I think I will add a little of my own observation for those who are willing to believe anything, as...

    Mach 3.8 Supercomputer

    Yeah, a huge market, lol. How many oil companies, how many car makers, how many P&G's? Market share is the whole story. SGI computers are not commodity devices like Pringle's potato chips or even Texas Instruments' ASICs. How many cellular phones have you owned? That's one reason TXN is...

    Frequency of Optimization?

    Good. What you want to achieve is to find the plateau of performance which is most stable. If 5 gives you your best profit, do 6 and 4 also work? You need to find the time frame or number of time frames giving you the most reliable return, not necessarily the highest return. Then test it...

    Frequency of Optimization?

    Does 5 work for a walk-forward of two days? Does any other number work as well as 5 for a one day walk-forward?
