    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    One of the ways we can spot sync is by the relative price moves in multiple time frames. :cool: By measuring the square of price differentials multiplied by their accompanied volumes gives you a pretty good idea. Remember kinetic energy formula? m*square(v)/2? m = volume; v = price...

    How can I fix this psychological problem?

    The answer is extremely simple: Trailing stop on your equity. Put a stop on a trade if your equity curve dips below 20% of the high water mark on your equity curve. That is it! Works like a charm!

    Thank you for the link. There are a lot of experiments these days similar to the one presented in this video that illustrate the principle of "Small World" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_and_Strogatz_model networks used to create many known types of behavior. Spontaneous sync and...

    Yes, it assumes the normal distribution. Please do not forget, this example was given just for the illustration purpose only. It, of course, has huge assumptions built in.

    Man, you are good! So, if we only have 53% of reaching the high if you are that close to it can't you not think of the algo that exploits it and makes a bet with others that believe in fact that it is close to 90% chance? I am sure you can! So, here is a very simple proof of Bayes's usefulness...

    PERFECT!!!! Can you also see the similarity of this example with the one I posted earlier? And, in general, with the situations that we experience in the markets every day? Thank you for your help! You participation is very important! The conclusion that we draw from this example is that...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Reading some of the replies here I realized that there are a few conclusions that I can easily draw: 1. A vast majority of population has incredible troubles with the notion of Randomness. Most of people have very strong preconceived notions with regards this phenomenon and have...

    Can you relate to an example below and then extrapolate it to my example? It may help. 1% of women at age forty who participate in routine screening have breast cancer. 80% of women with breast cancer will get positive mammographies. 9.6% of women without breast cancer will also get...

    Why I quit algorithmic trading

    Sorry to hear that! The problem as I see it is that you worked virtually alone without anybody to participate in your level of theoretical discussions. Yes, I agree, the hard core traders are the wrong crowd, I do not enjoy them either. However, I have gone the other route: over the past 12...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Not necessarily. The good example is the Monty Hall paradox or a cancer screening phenomenon. Also, there is a solution for the example provided without any additional data.

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Sure: A very simple (and a very abstract) example. The actual decision making tree is a lot more complex, nevertheless: Portfolio A has 100 securities in it. All the securities in this portfolio have an average daily range of X%. If any security in this portfolio is at 80% from its daily...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    I have been thinking a lot lately about Thomas Bayes and his remarkable discovery. It is hard to believe that someone in 1700s could have such a vision! It has been forgotten for over 200 years and now there is even a brand new branch of Artificial Intelligence that is based entirely on Bayes's...
