    Magic Forrmula Question

    It looks like some his funds have well underperformed S&P 500 for 2011 so there is no magic involved.:) Don't forget that SPY pays dividends as well. http://www.formulainvestingfunds.com/MutualFunds/International_Value_400_Fund.php

    Why Capitalism is a total failure in the U.S.

    US is not a democracy. It is a Rebublic. Democracy is a system invented by political crooks in ancient Greece to prevent uprisings while the ruling class enjoys the fruits of labor of the masses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMb_72hgkJk&feature=related

    Why Capitalism is a total failure in the U.S.

    Capitalism is a philosophy, not an economic system. Philosophy is not a failure, it is just philosophy. Learn the difference because you sound a bit perplexed... Capitalism was never purely implemented anywhere in the world. All you have is bastardized systems: others have more capitalism...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    Let us see now. We have an imbecile here who claims that the average is 41% and the mean is 45%. Which mean imbecile? The arithmetic, the geometric, the harmonic, the interquartile? Yes, imbecile, if you don't know that the arithmetic mean and the average are the same thing, look it up...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    There is no sush thing as a "variabe monthly win rate". So until you start using standard terminology people use on this planet please return to your fantasy land and talk about variable monthly win rates. Win rate is = number of winners/total trades Good trading systems are known to have...

    ES chart patterns

    There are two types of patterns: (A) Classical chart patterns and (B) Price Patterns. (A) Includes h&S tops, wedges, triangles, etc. These are not timing signals. They all need confirmation for placing trades. These are better viewed by some as indicators of possible market scenarios. The...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    Ed Seykota was correct. The sad thing is that in the process of trying to elevate the level of the discussion you get attacked, from lunatics like kut2k2 and his sockpuppets. That moron does not understand and at the same time cannot accept that he is wrong. I have tried to introduce him to...

    Incredible AP report about Greek Debt and the bailout

    I guess you mean they will be in a competitive position with exchange rates for exports to the rest. What about if they decide to put import taxes to punish the runaway state?

    Patterns that work in many instruments

    I think that one is 10K for unlimited use and they will sell only 50 with serial number. I'm sure the typical 30% discount they usually offer will apply...:)

    Incredible AP report about Greek Debt and the bailout

    Greece has no option but to default and go back to own currency otherwise it will have to put up sovereign rights as collateral for issuing bonds with arbitration in London rather than in Greece. Accepting this for a Greek politician may lead to treason charges in the future. Lenders will not...

    Day traders pls quit while you can

    I do not agree with this. Daytrading and swing trading are too different animals. I know swing traders who trade off quotes from newspapers using some esoteric method they have developed over the years. Of course older people. Some people have failed as day traders and made it big time as...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    He is not explaining anything. He is a crank who plagiarized a proof used by casino gamblers in games whose outcomes are pure random walks and the probability spaces are well-defined in advance. He has only proved that given a random walk with equal loss and win, if the win rate is greater than...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    Of course you are busy laughing. All lunatics laugh all the time while they expect someone else to do the job for them. You are a dishonest person, you admit now that your risk of ruin formula applies only when W = |L| = 1, a specific and even trivial case. You are such an intellectually...

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    Reducing position size does nothing to eliminate risk of ruin if there is no cummulative exit. It only delays it. Certainly the risk of ruin at any given time is less but over the longer term is certain because the probability as getting a streak to wipe you out is 1. Let the probability of...

    Day traders pls quit while you can

    Daytrading is now position trading. It has been replaced by HFT. Those daytraders who could afford it became HF traders. There is money to be made in intraday position trading. Don't say I did not warn you:)

    If trend following, can money management save you in chop?

    I never met anyone more unstable than you. Actually, you claimed in another thread after a proof you plagiarized that: So what q > p means you stupid head? Don't you realize that if q+p = 1 then q > p implies that 1-p > p which implies that 1 > 2p which you stupid crank of the...

    Arbitrage Strategy

    So what are you arbitraging? This sounds like a typical position trading system based on some high levels filtering of stocks. Arbitrage means the simultaneous buy and sell of an asset in two different markets for taking advantage of mispricings. I don't see how you do that with weekly...
