That set excludes you bozo. Discipline is one of the most precious edges. You know nothing about trading to ignore that.

Look at you idiot. I just said you have limited experience with trading, which is obvious. You come back with these insults. learn the difference imbecile between an insult and an opinion about someones skills. Expectation is indeed a buzzword you freak because the way it is sold to traders...

You have limited market exposure. There is a class of trading systems where discipline is the edge. Countless examples of trend following systems, some 4 lines of code, with positive expectancy that fail solely because of lack of discipline. Your naive expectancy formula does not suffice to...

Consider one bag: Pick 10: 3 magic beans Pick 9: 2 or 3 beans Pick 8: 1, 2 or 3 beans Pick 7: 0,1,2, or 3 beans Pick 6: 0,1,2, or 3 beans Pick 5: 0,1,2, or 3 beans Pick 4: 0,1,2 or 3 beans Pick 3:0,1,2, or 3 beans Pick 2: 0,1,2 beans Pick 1:0,1 beans Pick 0: 0 beans The...

My answer is that you are applying Bayes without any regard to assumptions made regarding the random variables involved: http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.6136 As far as the Monty Hall problem, its application and even relevance to stock trading is not even clear. Bayes' formula deals with...

Let me get this straight please. Let us suppose that I am looking at one company only, which happens to be in MAESTRO's universe, something that I am not aware off. It can also be in NOBODY's universe and in FACELESS' universe. Should I worry about their statistics? Let's be serious. This...

Whoever wrote it is a failure and a loser. Never get advice about trading from losers. Get advice only from winners. It's that simple. Applies to everything. Think about it: if you planned to open a restaurant would you take advice from a loser or from a winner with a very profitable operation?

if a poster is an idiot, I'm not going to name names here and cause trouble, but let's say the name is a number... would it not be a good idea to 1) not quote them to protect the hearts and minds of the rest of us 2) put them on ignore I'm just sayin'...

Wait a little longer. You will find out soon what you have in common. The only significant difference between English and the Greeks is that over there they can grow plenty of food to feed themselves when riots start in Europe and German army again this time uses this as an excuse to invade...

+ 100 Nothing to add.

Any references that lunar phases, solar spots, etc. can provide an edge? I read studies to the contrary. Like this one for example.

Good charting software should allow snapping lines to any points. Also studies like Fibo retracements. I agree. I would also add Amibroker to the list. It does this very nicely both from trend lines and Fibo.

If you switch on the wi-fi on you laptop you will see all active networks. There are network scanners in the market that measure the traffic over those networks. There are devices that track how many mobile telephones are active in a closed space. There are also devices that are sold for...

Mike, your situation is getting worse day by day. You need to see a doctor. You constantly attack people. You think you know everything. In other threads you advocated the use of random data for testing systems and you also wrote down (crappy) algos for generating them. Mike, see a doctor...

I guess you label BS anything that you don't understand.

They already know that and they monitor your activity. They have already talked about you in supervisor meetings. This is standard procedure. They have already estimated the time you spent trying to visit websites unrelated to your job and they plan to either subtract that from any pay rise in...

Get free daily data from yahoo! and then write an algo to generate random intraday data based on HLC constraints of daily data. Cost you nothing and if your system passes this test then you can spend money to test on a small subset of stocks that will cost you much less.

We have discussed in the past systems that work but you are new plus you like commands like "elaborate". Do you expect anyone to share something close to a holy grail with someone like you he has never met? Have you seen Karate Kid, the movie? If you want the system you will have to...
