Hi Student, long time between reading your posts. Did you think about using any other measure of efficiency, such as number of trades, trade cost, price of the trading vehicle, etc.? I was wondering because this is the direction my experiments with different markets led me.

Maybe someone else has an idea that should be incorporated that I haven't thought of (such as the revelation by bdixon619 that this is old news...I'm waiting to see what direction I should have investigated as bdixon619 has said he'll post). Hey Acrary, I was talking about this the other day...

Thanks for answering my questions. As far as reading this stuff in a book, I don't read that many books....Tushar Chande wrote a book several years ago, I think called Beyond Technical Analysis, which alluded to developing a portfolio of systems to trade in different markets. Similarly, he...

Well crap, acrary. Maybe too much, too fast. Sorry if my questions opened the floodgates. I'm sure time will allow you to get this stream of consciousness back on course. So far, so good, all in all. Don't worry about the trivial mistakes. I think I always expect more from your posts...

How does one go about finding markets for these systems? Is each system you develop market specific? Or, was a system design inspired by experience with one market or another? What individual market tendencies do you look for before selecting a system for trade in that market? How do you...

Well, I'll just let that rest, it is better off settled by you and Jack, I reckon. I sometimes watch the $TICK on a 2-tick chart...though I don't usually, prefering 1 minute charts of it instead. I have watched $ND: PREM and have discovered...not much. I'm certain you can do better than...

Hypostomus I can only say I've looked through enough charts and read enough books to know I'd rather set the bull**** to one side. Sheldon Knight's methods are public information, if you need to find a dependable base for further work. DB has spent some long hours bringing his knowledge...

I will also ... backtest the stupid idea of your choice. It cannot be "Sell Wednesday", however, as I have already patented that. "Buy Monday" is covered, too. It's quite possible you overlooked this in all my many postings, seeing as how you are looking where you ain't s'posed to...

...are you trying to out-Hypostomus Hypostomus? Is that in fact in Edwards and Magee? http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0814403735/ref=sib_rdr_toc/103-5452378-4808655?%5Fencoding=UTF8&p=S003#reader-page Chapter 10, page 168 and ff. You could look it up if you can find it on your bookshelf...

Hypostomus My apologies if I have offended you. It is hard to tell if your are of a sensitive nature and, thereby, easily put off. By way of penitence I offer an example of what I think the Pattern you first posted resembles...

Hypostomus Unless you are in the habit of looking at your monitors standing on your head, all up channels move in a clockwise rotation! Are you talking smack or using it, is my question? Perhaps you should consult our Edwards and Magee for proper nomenclature of the Pattern you...

How did I know before looking at this thread it was "authored" by you? May I suggest you take the rest of the day off? I think you are looking at charts a little too much. Best regards.

On the other hand, John W. Henry, by most independent accounts made about $2.8 billion for investors in the company strategies over a period of about 20 years. Currently, JWH is the majority owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise and that franchise is considered to be the second most...

After I went to the trouble to 'unsubscribe' yet another notice from ET that you had penned another missive. Look, my friend, summer is here (almost) which means weather is likely to be unpredictable (when isn't it?). I'm going into the summer reading schedule as well. In case of tornadoes I...

Just as an aside, what the hell are you doing posting to ET during RMH? Remember, "A trader trades". That he does. I was away this morning for an appointment, rain threatened so I disconnected from the internet. Upon return to my humble domicile (read: ranch-style subdivision) and...

I get e-mail notification of a post to any thread I am 'subscribed' to, so my Inbox is jampacked with notices that say Hypostomus is posting to Hypostomus Tests Jack. I'm just sayin'...maybe you ought to relax and take the edge off a little bit, the world and the legions of adoring disciples...

Anybody got about 1200mg of lithium for this guy?
