How come? Both strategies if played alone are losers by definition.

We have talked about this several times. Finding a consistently losing system is as hard as as finding a consistently winning system. Think about it: you reverse a losing strategy hoping it will make money and suddenly the original turns profitable and you lose.

Why going through the pain of becoming a successful trader when you can just marry one and milk him all the way to 100% drawdown? Isn't that the unltimate trend-following?

Academics are naive but traders using TA are even worse bacause they get no fixed monthly sallary like them.

So if we assume one trades just breakouts, he needs a reward/risk of at least 2.33 just to break even not counting for slippage, commissions and trading expenses. To cover all those things and realize a modest profit factor equal to 2, a reward/risk of at least 5 is required. I wonder why you...

Why do you think a little steady inflation is bad? Only capitalists think so. Without inflation there is no way for middle class to ever replay its debt. Marxists who cry for the return of the gold standard, and you sound like one, are the opposite side of the coin that wants total economic...

Wrong! Soros has been one of the biggest gamblers of our times. He made most of his gains in a single day back in the early 1990s shorting GBP. Rogers is fundamentally a trend-follower, meaning a trader. He is not a buy and hold investor. He is a market timer. He often changes his outlook...

Good thinking. Study Parrondo’s paradox. Mike Harris had a blog last January about this. I thought he was joking but after reading your post I now think it is quite possible and maybe it is an edge of some sort, paradoxically enough...

Yes, the market does not like AI, it requires RI. RI= Real Intelligence Find a project for your class that will offer you a chance to make real money down the road. Don't get involved with extremely complicated matters such as AI.

A failed strategy:)

What do you want to accomplish with them? If you are looking to use them for price series forecasting I have to warn you that their applicability in the markets for that purpose was disproven many years ago. If you are looking for something along the lines of system development we have discussed...

What is interesting to me is that this system has fooled you and other 10 people here. The system did what it was supposed to do when it found the same market conditions. Notice that by mid 2004, the system starts accumulating drawdown to mid 2005 because of the same type of sideways market...

Best advice! +

The 42 million dollar question. I guess a very high R:R hoping that in the long term you maintain a high win rate, possible close to 95%.

Sounds very interesting. Do you have any results?

Worry about yourself only. Nothing of all these causing any harm to me. It is amusing. Those that wish harm to others are the ones who get harmed because evil whishes return to those that make them and eat their insides. Anyway, why don't you go back to chit-chat where you belong. It is...

Hostility against uninformed but otherwise obnoxious crowd is a key ingredient of success because it is where the profits come from. I suggest you do the same. Respect good people and be hostile with the idiots. Otherwise you will end up embracing them to their demise and yours. Trying to...

Do not expect any hotshots here who trade with 20% win rate and make a killing due to their "unique money management" to be able to answer your good question because in reality only very few people here trade and have an idea what you are talking about. The discrepancy is due to the dividend...

The root of the problem is the opening of the door to the free markets of nations with an average higher IQ than Western nations and with kids who do not spend their whole day reading what some lady Gugu did the other day.

Retard you do not even know what you read. There are 6 definitions prior to the 7th one you chode you retard. You literally plonked yourself to the last definition: "plonk 59 up, 10 down The sound a user makes as it hits the bottom of another user's killfile bin"...
