I concur with your first and last statements. And if in your middle statement you are saying you do not understand why the team would share its strategies I would agree, in that once such a team has been formed the incentive for disclosure no longer exists.

SimpleSimon, Let's say based on discussions here at ET, a small group find one another's ideas and personality both agreable and mutually beneficial. These individuals could then meet outside ET, electronically or otherwise, and discuss in greater detail a more focused pursuit of trading...

Have you heard of athletes working as a team, sharing a strategy to beat the other side?

or maybe the good news being ignored is a sign of some selling to come?

I've been following this thread and think I may finally have some thoughts of value: The goal of science is to make predictions, create mathematical explanations of "reality," and prove itself by way of repetitive experiment. The goal of trading is to make money by making predictions, create...

What appears in red has a correlation of less than 0.75. You'll notice that over both five day and ten day periods there are a couple in that are negative. The first (a 5 day correlation) was when QCOM started to tank while the rest were still forming tops. QCOM, in this case, was the leader.

Hi a, I began by trying what Man proposed. At first I picked a random sector and began compiling a watchlist based on the >$10, >250,000 share criteria. After that I began realizing how different the charts appeared. I decided to take a step back and evaluate how the stocks were being...

Not sure if this will help, but I too am fairly new to trading. I was having problems making trades on the fly and started using stop orders. Initially the commissions were higher b/c I had an account w/ Scottrade ($12/order vs. $7 per order), but I've since opened an account w/ IB and orders...

Man, I think I have figured out a bit more of what you posted: Step 4 means that @ t-x, A1=100, A2=100, B1=100, B3=100 If at t-(x+1) A1=15, A2=25; B1=51.2, B2=13 Then when normalized at t-(x+1) A1=100.50 or 100.03? I would guess the latter, but am thinking there might be yet a better way.

My conviction of going long still exists, but I have realized my timing was (is, might be?) wrong. Thus, I have adapted for the time being. I apologize for the apparent confidence, I was writing what I felt at the time. I see no purpose in sticking to what I say merely for the reason that I...

I see your point about randomness but I must respectfully disagree. I can also see your quote below each of your posts. I agree with taking advantage of what is now. I had been uner-emphasizing this in favor of looking ahead. It is important first to know what is, probably more important...

I've been getting emails lately at the rate of about 1/day. We've about 6-7 potential participants right now. I am considering a second round attempt within the next two weeks.

Tradestation stole our idea! Bastards.:) Unfortunately, I use AmiBroker so I can't join. I'll be curious to know how they do. Hi a, Nothing like the purgative feeling of self-deprecation, ehh? Seriously though, I will dismiss your idea only when I can prove it doesn't work. So, I'll...

Man, I am going to try and do some programming tonight to test the peers trading. Your summation looks generally correct to me, but I don't understand a couple things you might be able to clear up. Lowest level? SP Sector Gics? Just to be sure, in my own words: 1. Stocks with close...

But is the market like the flip of a coin? Economies, politicians, citizens adapt to a situation. But this is really not the issue. I KNOW the market will go up, the question is when. My position is that the down trend has ended. The channel, though still in effect, has been played. And...

I tried to be a bit too literary with those last few sentences. A concise version is this: If you are afraid of giving something valuable away, try providing your undeveloped or slightly less than valuable ideas. If you see that it helps you, maybe then you'll feel comfortable giving more. I...

The first casualty of war is always: truth.

Yes I will. BTW, is the trend down? I thought the market has been going sideways. Lows: DJIA ~ 7300, S&P500 ~ 770, Nasdaq100 ~ 800. I don't plan on being in on the down swings of the chop, just the ups, waiting for the follow-through. Could be wrong though, could always be wrong. Oh...
