Are you suggesting that the high positive correlation of, say, corn and Dow (as mentioned above) over the last 180 days is anything but a random occurrence? Or did you mean something else when you said: The basic point of my reply wasn't about "the books" or any statistical significance...

Not true at all. It is perfectly appropriate to apply parametric or non-parametric tests of statistical significance to a correlation coefficient. The link above refers to a large, 35x35 correlation matrix, with 35x34=1,190 elements. By pure chance, at any given moment in time, we can...

Have you tried a Google search? The actual name is FX AccuCharts. I see that it's a proprietary charting sofware from FX Solutions, available to customers only.

Yes, your formula for A in cell B12 has been entered incorrectly. Check parentheses against Kaufman. Your A should be 0.0047, P=0.8233, RoR=.4419=44.19%. (Makes even less sense, I know.) Second, Example 3 on p. 69 of Kaufman has errors. A should be 0.0205, P=0.6464, RoR=0.0006=0.06%. Not...

Which one is it?

nutmeg, how is that better than a simple, free interlibrary loan through your local library, whether it "sucks" or not? Let's see: zero cost to you... nothing to pack or ship... no credits to keep track of... no trust or (gulp) teamwork on your part involved... may well be able to request...

I use both... you are not crazy, some indicators appear quite different. However, that's both normal and to be expected. There are several factors at work here. General factor 1: By definition, a path traced by an EMA changes, depending on a) when you're viewing it and b) number of periods...

A compelling example why I want to be neither, beyond a single intraday session, at most. Look at the carnage that happened 9 months ago in May and June, culminating in a one-day $51 sell-off to an exhaustion low on June 13th. Ever since then, I've treated gold strictly as an intraday...

GLOBEX offers native stop limit orders, but not native stop orders. As SSB pointed out, the latter can only be simulated -- either by your broker or by your front end.

How is team performance (or team anything) relevant to "the art/experience/psychology of trading"?

What a shock. A 24yo who claims a "vast" and "extensive" knowledge in the fields of financial / tax planning and credit repair / building... the fields which, of course, fit so well together... can't possibly be full of it, can he?

Regulatory / compliance: no, I don't think it's the structure that matters, it's the fact that you are acting in a fiduciary capacity. Each asset class is different, and I have no clue what the rules for options are. You may well be exempt from formal registration, based on factors such as...

Bingo. The reality of this business is that your own results, no matter how impressive, count for very little in the institutional world. Further, these don't help: - the short time frame; - your age (37); - being an outsider. Yeah, I know exactly how you feel. Remember... perception...

:confused: Desert_Dude said "best book for a newbie." And he admitted to zero screen time. Your advice may be well-intentioned, but this one is not even remotely close. D_D, forget books for now. What you need is: 1) to learn about the fundamentals of markets, asset classes...

If you'd like this report to be credible, more details are needed. A chart attached to your reply would be most helpful. "Show All Activity" button in the upper right corner should be on. A distant second option would be to specify currency pair, long or short, stop loss price, date and time.

Each of those supremely confident statements is false, in full or in part. There are at least 4 distinct, valid reasons to be simultaneously long and short the same currency pair. I have employed 3 of the 4. Some hedge funds and CTAs do it routinely, and that's just among the few I am...

Bob, the pic is in your browser disk cache.

Although on paper the mighty IQD has appreciated against the underdog USD by over 12% (unleveraged) over the last 3 months, from 1,450 to 1,285, its daily liquidity -- not to mention basic accessibility -- well, falls just a tad short. I wouldn't expect Oanda to ever offer any currency pair...

Aaron, your ball park estimate of 60 billion birds on Earth is of the right order of magnitude, not far off at all. And apparently even your density methodology is along the lines of what they actually use... impressive. According to this 1996 article by a couple of British biologists, in a...
