More games I see. Won't bite. You can look it up yourself.

Simple comparisons like that are silly. You could probably argue that EU tax may even approach 80% if you beancount everything. In practice though, if you don't overspend, it's not hard to save up. A system where everyone gets a chance at college-level education, free healthcare (costs are...

How so when in Europe it's cheaper and better than your system, and why not both? Ideology blinds.

What a rude response designed to abort constructive discussion now and forever. Who the heck do you think you are?

So lawyers sell medical treatments?

Who creates the f'up system you have? Regulators?

Yes, you need to decide on rules for SL and PT. Then you need to vary those rules and see how that makes a difference. Good start! Ie. I doubt you'd really want to let a position go 100% against you or wait an infinite period of time. Unless you're trend trading longer term, you'll maybe...

Can you plot them as mathematical functions, either in a spreadsheet or graph? You'll want to automate parts of the calculations, so you can set different rules for PT (?) and SL and see what values you then get for MFE and MAE.

Simple models and simple changes to such can yield vastly different results. A tool that may help is how many reasons do you have for your solutions not to be overfit? Doesn't matter what they are, but how you establish them matter greatly. These reasons may even be superior to out of sample and...

What is the message and feel of most "rap" music? Doesn't have to be rap, and rap can be good too, but some people are stuck at listening to noise rather than deal with their own emotions and work through their life issues / calling. When they start working it out (doing something constructively...

No shit. Internet forums is always filled with self-righteous trolls and too easy to fall into the "OMG someone's wrong on the internet, gotta post"-trap. Very rarely do you meet open-minded and "calm" personas through online forums. The shit's real, though I think you need to hit your personal...

Just because the random walk model is a good fit is no proof price changes are random (whatever that means even). It just means price can vary alot and is not constrained too much!

I've never encountered this in 30 years of software development, though logic is not without merits :)

How can the rest of us get in on the action?? :confused:

Gee, thanks for ruining the ending for the rest of us! :p

3 is all in-sample. 2 is out-of-sample only the first time around. Both are no guarantee your search won't yield false positives. The more you search, the more false positives.

For charting TA, trendlines etc. absolute price can have significance (self-reinforcing). For risk-adjusted comparisons and relative change logscale may make more sense (relativity). It's better to spot why yourself and adjust accordingly, without resorting to magical thinking.

Humans are funny, unable to anticipate the opposite of downward acceleration.

Does this mean trading bar by bar with typical trade length being 1 bar, or is it just the minimum waiting time for trades at that TF?

For the markets there's nothing to prepare. In the event of all-out nuclear war and the savageness that was WWI and WWII, it's just "Game Over", for most human beings, at least the lucky ones. The idea of surviving in shelters was abandoned in the 50-60's when hydrogen bombs became reality...
