You offered to sell at any price, so you ripped yourself off. Guess you were in a hurry. TOS has nothing to do it with it, you hit your thumb with a hammer. Learn your tools.

I would rather take a PATH to the moon.

Like other said, it depends upon the strategy. That being said, factors I consider for a particular strategy's stops are Probability over time Probability over price delta Probability of target versus stop being hit. MAE Those "parameters" are instrument specific, or more precisely tuned for...

Just like any filter they are just guidelines. A lot of the old timers are sage. Like any filter it depends upon the Universe it is applied. One might say, the need for filters is more for the new people than the older one... :D

Here is my filter: Like ration over 50%, then These post criterion: Does not talk about their profits. Does not talk about an "edge" and does not want people give to them an "edge". Does not post charts and says XYZ about them. Does not make "calls" (tops-bottoms, etc) about anything. Claims...

It seems like you are assuming that the "back testing" means you are done testing and therefore are ready to go live. There is a ton of additional testing to be done. Back testing probably only represents 15% of the testing needed. Much of the additional testing need to be done live. Do...

Hundreds lose internet service in northern B.C. after beaver chews through cable | CBC News ;)

I agree and pay the minimum at IB. So about $5 a month, net. One should only pay for what is proven to be needed. One thing that does not get used daily but is needed, is connection redundancy, imo.

It can be OR and Not also, says DeMorgan. :D

Like this one: Pit Bull: Lessons from Wall Street's Champion Day Trader: Schwartz, Martin: 9780887309564: Amazon.com: Books The one thing I got from it was he goes from NY (home turf) to Chicago (visiting) and tries to trade. Gets is ass handed to him. "never go into battle without your...

Actually all system reduce to And and Not, so yes! But that is like saying people are just water and minerals. Deconstruction-ism looses a lot. And the truth is, you just need to press the right button on your computer at the right time. Nothing else matters to the exchange but what orders...

Another to the ignore list. Please do the same for me. My posts will only frustrate. Just because you are not consistent (your posts), you should not assume everyone else is not. That is an emotional defense mechanism in action. Even if I provided "proof", whatever that means, it would not...

Me too!!!

Yep, Simple! Like take a job at Apple in 1997 and don't sell your stock options until 2020. Or MSFT, INTL during the 90s. Investing is a great way to go and should be a part of the portfolio. But this was about short term trading, which is an optional part of a portfolio.

Yes but it should not be relevant. The posts are designed to stand on their own. I know a lot of people like some proof people are knowledgeable. But that is a form of "appeal to authority" argument, which is considered fallacious. I will not engage is such stuff. From the tone of your...

It seems some have a tunnel vision obsession on the notion of win:loss ratio. Some drone on about how it is simple mathematics. 7th grade algebra is their alter. There is reason to consider other math disciplines that can be applied to system development. To Wit: A single trade is not an...

Don't confuse a mathematical representation with your interpretation of it. Both are revisable. This is one of the oldest known distinctions. We are talking BC, 2200+ years. Probably time to learn and apply it, unless you think you are so exceptional the fundamentals don't apply to...

Your last two posts are refreshingly correct and wise. Work Hard, Work Smart. Those two give you are definite advantage. Also commit. I tell people "Make up your mind.... So you can change it". Details make a difference, some would say most of the difference. BTW: It took me 7 years of...

Also read about DOM spoofing. It is well documented. It started last century, but I think a lot of people are still seduced by it, but don't bother to research it. It is a real sheep grinder.

Of the 100+ I have read, this one is in the top 5. It is actually about generalized semantics, but it can help you figure out what model to base your system on by allowing you to differentiate between your biases and reality. It also provides a framework to understand the the relationship...
