Do you know any of them? I do. Some are my neighbors...

I wouldn't expect it to. You want someone with "ball's and persistence". The $4B that was given to them to manage was done on the premise that they KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING. Ironically, most of them have had ZERO prior experience in the finance world. In other words, they're predominantly...

Try telling that to the Renaissance Technologies guys. They have about 80 PhDs over there and spend quite a bit of time quantifying imbalances. Few of them can hold a normal conversation but clear a white board and conversation gets markedly interesting. They must be doing something right...

PRECISELY!!! It is absolutely imperative to nail down the simpler stuff... Being effective with simple tools enables one to sort out the points where finer tools can be used. All the finer tools are just more icing on the cake. The objective is to look at STR/SQU ONLY WHEN the PV/CHANNELS...

YES!!!! EXACTLY! The issue is that many times, one's sweeping frequency is lagging. As a result you may miss the signal. The workaround to this is to then plot a tick chart of the premium value to catch up on the recent extremes...

We have a long weekend. I will attempt a full fledge flesh out of what I SEE! It is IMPERATIVE to know how a tool works before using it to do things that it was not intended for. There is a post somewhere about using average values in order to set the NEUTRAL OFFSET. I have very strong reasons...

Just out of curiosity, on average, how long would you say that you typically hold a trade???

Agreed. I am the same way. This is how I arrived at the +/- 2 values (ie. after figuring out what must be what and then visually calibrating)...

Initially, just watch for the strong stuff... This is like +/- 5 territory... You can actually profile str/squ for strength just like volume... VDU is -2<=X<=+2 You move out from there...

The problem with esignal is that it does not commit the extremes to memory. I haven't done the catching up on the thread yet but in gleening through your indicator, it appears as though the programing does not store the extremes. In a sense, you want to be plotting just like a HLC bar. That...

Wait till we get well ramped! Hopefully we can get some night owls to shift between US Futures during the day, and Forex Futures in the wee hours... Then they'll be alot more venom from opponents on how any of this is possible...

No bragging here... Just stating the facts! I guess any one who makes REAL BUCKS is bragging in trading as far as you see... So they should rename the 2007 P&L Thread to the 2007 Bragging Thread and the Simulated 2007 P&L Thread to the Not Bragging 2007 Thread!

So have the moderators pull down the list of participants who voted and post them... The poll sorts out whether you have voted or not and which way you voted... I'm sure no one on the made money side would object... As for BE, DO, HAVE, it is a concept that can be related to many endeavors...

Funny how in candyland, REAL forward tested money (supported by backtests) added more REAL BUCKS to buy a few REAL things, whereas your backtested virtual dollars of the same underlying content failed to bank you anything REAL... C'est la vie. I am just glad the opportunity was taken to fully...

A work of art indeed.

Alot of things have gone over your head, so goes trading. Mon ami, that is a forecast. They run their weather models based on current conditions and get weather projections and tell the forecast on what the weather will be like tommorrow so that people can anticipate what the weather will be...

Mon ami, you emphasized the wrong part. The anticipation is a CONSEQUENCE! If you take your umbrella with you out the door, you are anticipating rain. It is a PREPAREDNESS consequence, much like a bracket trade. You bracket so that IF the breakout occurs, you are taken with it. So in looking at...

Scroll down mon ami... DOWN as in your backtest EQ curve!

LOL... The forward test went both ways mon ami (ie. no bias). That means you go long on the 0->7 and short on the 3->4... Having conditions like high octane stocks do well regardless of the market type... Call it a "conditional edge" if you will that works in all market conditions.
