It will for sure find a double optimum, which in my experience is not uncommon. Sometimes it is good when you are second-guessing your system to know where the lower optimum is. Optimization routines do not know that feeling of "Ooooooohhhhhhhsssssssssshhhhhhhiiiiiiittttt!!!!"

I do my optimizations manually. IMO there is no substitoot for intuitition. Optimization is like a hunt; "Where are you, bitch?"

"Investors withdrew a staggering $33.12 billion from domestic stock market mutual funds in the first seven months of this year" "Staggering?" Hardly, considering the total market cap of US stocks. Do the math on what that is per household. Not even enough to buy groceries for a month. A...

"You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!"

I think the time has come for a gonzo moderator. I nominate Arthur Deco. Verifiably trades. Knows rigorous systematic trading. Has trading psych down cold. Has nothing better to do. Track record of mercilessly and eloquently bitch-slapping obnoxious posters. But is nobody's bitch himself...

The persistence (and deep pockets) to find a robust positive expectation system.

The issue is that any number of natural and unnatural disasters could disrupt the infrastructure for a sufficient number of days that none of what you said makes a difference. The resulting civil disorder is what people like the posters here worry about. You know, those morally bankrupt entitled...

I think the answer has multple parts depending on the duration of the disruption. Most people would be hurting in three days. My household can function at subsistence level for two weeks with zero outside resources. Eat for six months given water. Defend life and property through any reasonable...

Wait patiently for the profit stop to be hit.

To quote the late lamented Warren Zevon, "He's just an excitable boy." You know those canucks.

I am so old and ugly I can't tell you when the last time I had some doji was. Keep up the good work saving lost soles.

That is why EasySignal rocks!

You should never have started this thread. ProfLogic will be here in the next post to tout equivolume charting.

It tells you something. Rejoice that the community sees nothing there. My trading changed forever when a correspondent told me "I collect and process every tick." Now I am stuck in the Nagual like a fly in amber. Or as I tell my wife at the end of the day, "It's tiring trying to see things that...

On another thread where I am abusing the OP, a poster wrote that he was a nuclear engineer. I also studied that, but abandoned it for other bluer pastures. Now I am an unclear engineer.

I must ungraciously bow out. I think all measures of money flow are worse than useless.

I am a mister of massdirection. The truth, FWIW, is that I spend most of my screen time glued to a one-second chart that has all the relevant S/R near the current price displayed on it. Plus four critical market internals arrayed below it. If I couldn't chart one second I would be blind, because...

Bien sur. The market don't lollygag around. It turns on a dime at all S/R. But first ya gotta know where that is to reckonnize it. Mais, "Ne reviens pas un chat qui dort." Just asking the question gives something away. That is why I supported you, because now everyone will know one second is a...

Ehlers is so shallow mathematically that he doesn't even understand when the existence conditions of the tools he uses are invalidated by the inherent nature of the market.

Please do. If it is simple enough, I may be able to code and test it for you. No promises. But I have a stable full of dead-horse loser systems that I can readily adapt. One of them might even be yours.
