    What a stupid study

    Never seen a trading discussion run this long without numbers to back it up. Just back and forth banter. It's like trying to argue if God exists... Dude, start a journal with 100 forward live trades. Document your stats/performance. If results support your stance, great! We should all learn you...

    Back in the day, what I would used to do was fade the NQs (average in) until it broke the ranges, and just flipped the whole position for the breakout. It was consistent and scary at the same time. But it crapped out when the flip doesn't work and it just mean revert again. This time, I am...

    I documented some errors in the code during the early days where the bot left profitable trades opened. But if the bot did perform as expected, it would've been similar performance. 20-30% dd is normal from backtests, but I'm not sure if I can sit through it. My purpose for trading is to...

    I think there is a sweet spot between trading the anticipated breakout and when trading the anticipated range move. I know that my current strategy will crap out if the range last too long. But if I can somehow jump on the range after couple of breakout failures, that may help avoid range loss...

    Well, the strategy finally crapped out. Everything was working as per the trading plan. This strategy will have a big loss and will take months to recover. In the backtests, I've had max +900 days of recovery time. Even though it looked like a steady strategy, mentally that would probably drive...

    Maybe big mac mean a lambo and he's just being humble calling it that. Actual big macs here cost less than $5. So if you're learning trading just to make $5 a day, that's a waste of effort i think.

    Is big Mac means something else? Cause trading just for a big Mac is pretty sad. Why are you wasting time for scraps. Begging on the streets is easier without the stress.

    My ge66 raider got completely fried after running games at 95c for couple of months. I suspect the paste needed replacing. Experienced multiple blue screens. Didn't feel like opening it up and dismantling it. Had to get an emergency rig. I think I might go back to desktop setup for a while...

    Brooks biggest mistake as a teacher

    You have a tendency to say how much time you spent on something: "20 years on this, 30 years on that.." You value seniority rather than results. You would make an excellent union rep in the US.
