This: " But this make me to question the validity of different technical analysis patterns that many 'traders' are using it. My conclusion is that from this type of TA, you can't extract an edge if you rely only on TA" Ninna

Good! You've got it. :) (fundamental is not the only way however) Ninna

You guys are too funny. Makes me wonder why I need to go through the hassle of managing 9 figures for a miserable 1,5%/15% when I can just take my $1000 and double it every six months... :p Damn, all these years lost. I would have been richer than Buffet by now. Ninna

Why are you surprised? In a RW you should expect the price to deviate from origin by sqrt(2*N/pi) where N is the number of steps in your walk.

I think that crowd-sourcing doesn't do well with the power-law distribution of successes. You are on the wrong side of the fence. The business model that works (retail brokers) is betting agaisnt the crowd, not with it. However I do think that crowd-sourcing can be applied to finance...

Hijacks, bombings and crashings are part of the risk when travelling with airplanes. Current statistics are so ridiculously low that no changes are needed in the security policies. I think we can deal with the risk. You're safer on a plane than in a car, like it or not. If you travel by...

How would they have been different from the nazis, then? (Cultural) genocide didn't fit in the allies' core values at the time (fortunately). Ninna

This is generally the case for any rich country. Depression is a rich people's illness. Poorer people are more concerned with how they're going to feed the family tonight. Ninna

Risk = constant * Reward. -> Short answer: reduce your position size. Ninna

ACM. Swiss quality :) Ninna

India has two major problems: 1. The infrastructure is inexistant. 2. The illiteracy rate is very high (it's one of the main reasons that can explain the slower economic development compared to China). However India made the choice early on to focus on IT and their schools and engineers...

Entering zeros as missing values is probably the worst option. You can try entering arithmetic means of columns/rows instead as a first solution. I'm not sure about your exact problem, but it is probable that filling missing values with an SVD transformation would be an optimal method. Ninna

Don't reinvest the profit. Problem solved :D Ninna

What a waste of great knowledge. Beside, I'd bet you'll be more successful as anesthesiologist than as trader. One guarantees a happy life with very high living standards the other is a lottery ticket, a chance out of a thousand to make it big. And I'm a bit surprised that you choose the latter...

Good advice. First get a solid degree, preferably Math, Physics or Computer Science. And then trade for a living.
