Produces worse test results? I'm not sure what you want to say. Regardless, nobody is going to take your word for it. Do you have some examples or you're talking under the influence? :)

Volatility or no volatility is the other side of the same story. You need an edge to succeed. But put when volatility is low and sell covered calls when it is high, for example.

You are absolutely correct. Warren Buffett and Steven Cohen have a black belt. :D

A lot of people are running experiments along these lines. I am not sure about the success rate. I think it should average to 50% over time. http://bit.ly/ihbRgV

http://www.priceactionlab.com/Blog/2012/03/qqq-and-nasdaq-100-up-nine-weeks-in-a-row-is-this-a-bubble/ Interesting read. Only once before during the bubble market of 1999 that has happened.

It is one thing to say that traders do not exercise good noney management and another completely different thing to say that money management is the holy grail. It is a fallacious implication doing that. Most of the same traders will lose even with good money management. Their methods are...

Why do you pay attention to journalists? They are losers. According to the same reasoning, someone who invested in AAPL last year did not make a huge return but actually nothing because stocks did not do well.

I don't have time to go over the details but I see a serious problem IMO with equation (3.1) in Zhu's paper. Specifically, the units of s come out [currency]^-1 The numerator is the sum of probability weighted gain/loss but the denominator is gain x loss and that leaves the above strange...

Good question. I think you are looking at it in a complicated way. I think he says the obvious, i.e. that MMs make money from spreads, which is true, and they lose to informed traders, which is also true. But MMs make much more from spreads then they usually lose. If they do not, then they let...

There is no such thing as an anti-piracy method that works. When a program must load in memory and run it cannot be protected by definition. Hackers just dump the running code into a new executable and there they go. Sad but true.

+ ...I would add: and by working hard. No shortcuts here either.

You don't have to attack me to make the point that you use TS. Just remember when time comes that your attacks were unprovoked and do not express opinion but aim at defaming another person. Because is you continue this way, you will have to defend yourself soon. I can produce scores of PMs...

Technical analysis was a naive method for trading the markets people used in the 1980s and 1990s. They lost so much money that TA can be safely declared one of the most effective wealth transfer mechanisms ever developed and put in use. Let me ask you a question: would you try to solve a...

Socialist governemnts all over the world pray for higher gas prices and do anything that they can for prices to rise so that their tax revenues rise and they can transfer wealth from those that produce to their voters who are mostly public servants. High gas prices have little to do with high...

If you are looking for software to test your ideas there are cheaply priced excellent choices like Amibroker and free software like NinjaTrader. If you are looking for software to create automatically strategies and their code, there are some alternatives also, some expensive and some lower...

If you are looking for predictions better talk to an astrologer. This is not how traders do it. Only newbies think indicators and traders try to predict anything.

The intention when using indicators is not to predict anything at all. If you think that, you got a long way to go, I am sorry to say that.

We keep hearing this for two years now. It's all talk. Some guys get together in a place flooded with amenities of all kinds, you know what I mean, they get high and say things to verbally cause the markets to rise.

Volume has been much higher than in the 2003-2007 bull run. I do not see why he thinks volume is lower. Can anyone else see lower volume on the charts?

US will never run out of ink and you will probably not make as much on the average over the next 5 years investing in precious metals over investing in stocks. Dow will climp to new highs in the next couple of years. When China and Indica go into recession or even deflation, precious metals will...
