This might be the most intelligent comment I've read all year: "Trading systems are evaluated not based on how they were developed" Congratulations - you've won the first class idiot award!!!! Frankly, I'm glad there are people like you participating in the market. Your ego and belief...

That, or he's Polish, which would be self-exaplanatory:p

haha...:D Somehow I don't believe you...

You've pointed out the key to proper development - validation of the hypothesis. If one does not know what their hypothesis is, or, they are searching for one via data mining, they are likely performing a destructive form of cruve fitting rather than actual constructive optimization. Let...

Seriously? That's your answer? This is a waste of time. Answer this: is changing a rule in your model POST OBSERVATION of model results curve fitting or not? Mike P.S. Stop with the math teacher crap, its old. In line with your "my dick is bigger than yours" type comeback, I did my...

No you won't. They are the "same" system with a rule permutation. Unless you're talking about the sample data set itself, in which the rules aren't incorporated. Rather than laugh at what is being argued you ought to present clearer contradictory logic. So far you seem to be saying that...

Hey Guys, Changing any parameter in a model, whether it be OHLC or some percent stop, is still a change in a model parameter and may introduce bias into your model. In Short, I agree with nephos on this matter. I'll try to explain with an example: Every trading model is a collection...

I don't think you need tick data to do what you're doing. Minute bars should suffice. Adjusting exits is not curve fitting in the destructive sense, it is optmization of you model, which is fine. As long as the model concept is sound then the parameters that dictate profit/loss stops are...

Personally, trading fully automated is much more challenging. I traded for years using purely discretion and my results were average and less volatile. As I moved into full automation I found more volatile results + higher returns as well as greater psychological challenges. I think the main...

Yes. I personally like Portabella in Carmel: http://www.carmelsbest.com/portabella/ Georis Winery (Carmel) also has a good restaurant and excellent wine. http://www.yelp.com/biz/georis-winery-carmel-valley Berkeley/Oakland: Somerset is pretty Good -...

Hi Anna, How's everything going? Hope all is well. I read the book around '07 while taking his class on Fuzzy Logic. If I recall correctly, I don't believe he delves into the mind, body and soul relationship too much. Your assessment of black/white and gray is fairly accurate. The main...

I'm not going to type out to you every point he makes. You do not believe what I said and I am giving you a source. Since you're choosing not to accept nor verify my claims, then I guess this is the end of this discussion.

You've just described a type of neural network... Wait... do you even know what a neural network is?

It was a directed response about the fact that a computer can easily reproduce the logical mechanisms of the brain. If you say that you don't believe certain things are happening then get a friggin' clue for goodness sakes... Your claims about what is and is not currently being done by...

Get the book I recommended.

Why did you choose to argue the value of the book I presented rather than find out what it actually says? You're not being open minded. I accept religion and I accept your point of view. Let me make this as simple as possible: You have made claims about what science is able/unable...

Optional, I am not a philosopher nor do I claim expert status in the philosophy of human/machine interaction. Bart Kosko on the other hand, who wrote the book I recommended, is an expert. Please - no matter what you think of me at this point - read the book. It will be worth your time...

You need to do some research on current AI. Thoughts are currently being measured as are emotions as are ALL brain activities. This not supposition or speculation, this is real, evidence based fact. A machine CAN read your thoughts. If you are not aware of this then your statements...

Here is where things get interesting - particularly for me because you hit upon my long time field of study - Electrical Engineering. I did quite a bit of graduate work in machine learning algos, neural networks, AI etc. So to answer your question, YES human thought is an ORGANIC process...

While I agree with you that all ideas about afterlife are speculative, think about this: scientifically, your remains after death literally decompose back into the earth. That's not speculation, that's fact. To say that soul has a meaning is a different set of philosophical arguments, no one of...
