A Security Analyst has access to all available information, and can answer your questions to the best of his ability about what may or may not happen in the future regarding the company. But any SA will admit that FA does not tell you when to buy or sell the stock. And if you ignore the timing...

DO I NEED TO HIRE A FUNDAMENTAL ANALYST? If you want to buy the company, go with FA. If you want to but the stock, go with TA.

That's because 90% don't study. And 90% of those that do study take the Saturday-Sunday Course, and then can t wait for Monday to come!

No. Demo accounts weren't available 40 years ago.

Why 90% of traders burn out? Burnout? Heck, I've been doing this for 40 years and am ready for the next 40!! I guess if you know what you're doing, you won't run into the causes of burnout.

According to TSE and OSE HFT in stocks makes up 60 to 70%, and in futures a little over 60%.

Wasn't there a song ♪Please don't talk about me when I'm gone♪? MS is getting more attention than Jesus!!

As I said, I usually pick 100+ cases, depending on the difficulty of the setup, to determine the probability. But after doing this for so many years, I can often reach a decision with fewer examples. Bedtime.

Thank you. I can understand how the program would follow the rules you give it. But what I can't see is how it could judge the validity of a movement in price which is relative to other price movements, and to which the human would judge if this and that is too much or too little and that too...

No, I'm sorry but I can't. I was surprised by nonlinear5's reply above as it is opposite to the numerous explanations I've heard. But maybe he knows more than others. I can't say. I don't know how you yourself go about back testing manually that takes months and months. But I've back tested...

Sorry, based on the above I understood you to mean that you could not read the trend. But can you determine if 'that' price movement is a move in the primary trend, a reaction, a correction, a resumption of the primary trend, or the beginning of a new trend etc.? If you can, no problem. If not...

No, by no means did I mean gut feeling/intuition. I meant an educated judgement based on the analysis of a situation regarding its probability. While a program could read a move from A to B, could it judge its strength based on the price movement and volume, its strength relative to relevant...

You might want to spend 100% of your efforts solving this. And once you do, I think you will find that 99.9% of the problems you're having will vanish on the spot.

But the fact of the matter is that the programs drew so many of the lines incorrectly that using such for screening, analysis, back testing or trading would be a disaster. And as you said, if the trend line is elementary to code, what would the results be when judgement is required in addition...

I often hear people say that price movement can be programmed for analysis. Not being able to do so myself, I can't disagree. However, the quality of examples of such that I've seen is still light years behind that which can be done manually. And given the need for analysis of context, and the...

When everybody is on the same side of the boat, she ain't gonna float.

No no, we need them to carry on like that, because, One of the world's greatest traders once said: "Trends will always exist in the markets as long as there are people who cannot read them." Sorry to the OP for posting something irrelevant to the thread.

Yeah, that's what marketsurfer's profile page says too. So there really is a Santa Claus after all!! This was first on my list!
