    Getting good at prioritizing things in business

    You're not a perfectionist. A true perfectionist wants EVERYTHING their way. A lot of people would consider you a FOCUSED person. 2 different things.

    POLL: Has the ET neighborhood gone to hell?

    Actually, I think it's a little better. I see that people don't want to bother threads and send me PMs or E-mails if they know it. Sometime a chat conversation. I think the Poster x Troll rate has decreased compared to 2-3 years ago. Only crew of people left that's annoying would be jack...

    Traders who win but really have no clear strategy

    Off topic. But this thread reminded me of my first mentor who told me, "Gut feeling of a trader is like a dog wanting to fuck a bitch."

    Few comments: 1. I haven't posted one system. I'm only mentioning about the results I got from the tests I've ran in the past. A test result and a system are 2 different things. 2. Robustness is a myth. ALL models are curve-fit. Seriously, this "debate" is done like 5 years ago...

    Traders who win but really have no clear strategy

    Automated Trading? Grey Box? Discretionary? I can't understand how a reasonable systematic trader cannot distinguish and misuse the definition between the two terms.

    Trend following equity curve

    Considering this being an TF model... 1. You're missing the whole point of TF. The essence of the style is to trade multiple markets by increase the potential profitable opportunity of catching an outlier move. Posting a bunch of reports/equity curve for a single product is pretty much...

    Traders who win but really have no clear strategy

    There's really no point of automating a profitable discretionary trader's trading. Most people are missing the point of the advantages of a discretionary trader, and the fact that people even consider trying to automate them tells me they don't understand discretionary trading. This also...

    Before it goes off topic with TA discussions, which I have no intention to do so... What I wanted to say is that, "There is a high possibility that people think similarly and figure out the same thing as you, no matter which tool you use. Most likely, there's someone else trying to trade a...

    Pseudo-random runs around Visual Studios

    Screenshots? We've been discussing about systems and etc. over the past few weeks in ET. And you expect me to have charts? How about a bunch of csv files that are not labelled? How many do you want? For each set of tests I've mentioned there's about 800+ csv generated. Should I have...

    Actually, I was going to write about predictive value... So what the hell is predictive value? I don't know what the universal definition is. But the definition I tend to use is, "Whether the current bar of the market has any affect over the next bar." In another words, I simply checked...

    1. How does indicator correlation and predictive ability connect? Before I can try answering your quesion, I don't see how they are paired together. 2. I never wrote that ALL indicators correlate. 3. All I'm saying is if the current bar is bullish like, Higher High, Close near High...

    Back to the topic... A while back I ran a series of tests about how Technical Analysis work together. I was trying to find a methodical way for combining different indicators. For example I ran the following test: I took 30 different types of TA and tested them under 10 markets. I also...

    Should i take up day job offer?

    Take the job. There's nothing wrong with having a regular paying job. I used to have a night job as a sushi chef to pay my bills for 2 years. I know plenty of guys from Chicago who was a prop. trader at day, and a bartender at night. This is only a 2nd hand info but one of the guy who...

    Grey Box Scalping

    I'd have to mention that I trade using Price Action when I scalp discretionary and I use a blank chart along with Level 2 and a news feed. That said... What you are looking for is going to be a tidbit tough. My discretionary process is a cumulative recollective process. I follow the...
