This is my interpretation: Ichimoku Cloud is the area between support and resistance levels from long ago. If current price is greater than the resistance value of long ago then the trend is judged increasing. Tenkan Line and the Kijun Line are 9 and 26 day exponential moving averages...

Compare entry following a gap to lesser price with entry following a gap to greater price. Long positions only. Short positions only. What exit rule are you choosing?

There are likely many opening gaps. Are you going to focus on the biggest gaps, say minimum 2 %?

Some people might look up into the night sky and see a big dipper, a hunter, twins, crab, bull, scorpion, scales, and a lion. Other people just see stars. What do you see?

You might want to wait a little while before upgrading. I recall upgrading from Internet Explorer version 6 to version 7. I am NOT ABLE TO LOGIN to one of my broker websites. I am working with technical support to find a solution. My workaround is to download Mozilla version 2.0 and...

It says nothing about the future. No one can predict the future. Statistics characterizes the past behavior of prices. If the mechanism changes then your conclusions might not be meaningful. For example, if the margin requirement for trading the Emini SP500 futures contract is raised then the...

I say "I do not have any weaknesses because every time I find a weakness I work on it until it becomes a strength. All I have are strengths."

In total the amount of metal, commodity or security owned by speculatiors during a period of rising prices...

The alternative to back testing is fantasize and hope.

Are you guys following M3? http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/2006/11/the_return_of_m.html

You might want to stick with what works.

I can't predict the future. I believe the behavior of prices is unfigureoutable. I follow my mechanical trading system rules. Sometimes I think 99 % of what happens is nonsense.

The difference between rules and guidelines is that rules are fixed and not broken; guidelines are subject to judgement. My copy of "How To Make Money In Stocks" page 106 reads somewhere between two and seven stocks. Page 87 reads "limit loss to 7 or 8 % of your cost". So which is is, 7 % or...
