    did i apply curve fitting to my system

    I skimmed through the link. It's a newbie developer site. There's plenty more ways of "curve-fitting" than the categories. One example would be a misuse of statistics like.... Let's say, I have a .001% chance that the system will make 4 losses in a row. Should I go "All-In" on the next...

    did i apply curve fitting to my system

    I can just change your statement and it can be equally true: During the bulish period your system should generate a higher Risk/Reward Ratio as compared to short. The other way around during bearish periods. If your system generates higher risk/reward on long trades during a bearish period...

    Ignore Corey's comment. Your question as a statement makes it obvious that it's a bad thing to do.

    1. HFT is synonymous to trading the order flow. 2. Order flow can be predicted and it is done by a few. One way we do it is by reverse engineering the algo. order offered by the bigger institutions. 3. Race between AIs. If it's an algo., there is always a tendency. Let's say you...

    How long before you were fully automated?

    Here's another question. I'd like to see a pre-system study and observational result that proves that his "deductive theories" are true. I don't care much about his STC or other models he has. I just need a a sound observational (meaning tested proof) that his "theories" are what he...
