BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! So now we have "natural" and "unnatural" in the markets. Is this going to be the next big BS for discretionary traders against test results? I'm probably being very unfair about judging your sematics so would you be kind enough to provide us with some explanation and...

FLEX? Do you trade with MS? or is it custom?

You should ask the vendor but... Generally speaking... check what time the data for each day and ends. If the data starts when the market opens then 10:00 = 00 to 10, if not the opposite.

Agreeing mostly... 1. Definitely agree with the industry backtesting that it needs to get better. 2. :eek: 150 trades >>> 350 trades... This largely depends on whether the market allows you to. I think it was you (or Mark Johnson???) who mentioned this a whole lotta years back on...

I like Shida Gozo more. Hear about Kennedy's bodyguard and other stories about street fighting? Akira Maeda (famous Japanese pro-wrestler) mentioned that he tried to expose that Aikido was fake and got his ass whooped by Shioda.

Plenty... just change the question to, "Chicago Prop Firms that trade Eurex"

WTF???? You hear a lot of BS in ET, that you don't hear in real life between traders... asiaprop, was your crowd of fellow traders talking all these BS around you? With or without alcohol... * I'm not asking asiaprop to offend him. He's traded / trading with a reputable group of...

ROFL!!! PETA is funny!

And yet... We have a bunch of people who confuse and mix up different ideals of Eastern Philosophy. Actually, it happens all the time... Example would be Japanese Shinto where they have gods that originated from Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist teachings. Also, the Taoist "god" Guan Yu, was...

Adding... I've already known that the test results are flawed and very biased... :) Also... I'm not dissing on anyone. I just find a large gap between different posters in ET. Also, the whole issue is not psychological, from my point of view. Some of it has to do with the...

Well... you're partly correct. I used the term "backtest" from 3 standpoints. Apologies for the confusion. I say partly because the significance and the nature of a tool becomes a completely different thing based on "how" it is used, "why" it is used, and "who" (what perspective) it is...

Another side note... About my discretionary contrarian post. I think I've read and seen a study done by Steidlmayer or some other Market Profile guru... Anways, some guy did a research about Market Profile and concluded that traders who makes the trades on the 70 percentile of the Daily...

I have no idea. Though, there are degrees to this right... Just how you can't clap with one hand.

... (continuing)... First things first... Optimization is a good thing. It's just that people don't know how to use it. Looking at what the retail packages are offering, they're 4-5 generations behind what most of us use. So whatever I write here is meant to coded by the trader or have...

It sucks that I have to do this but I need to write about the basics optimization paradigm systematic traders use so that I don't confuse people: When I mention about the basic components of the optimization: - Optimization & Programming. (For example, when I mention Genetic, it can...

Who remembers Alpha Beta:

Wait??? You're a newbie programmer offering to code someone's ATS? You know that the OP is going to risk money on what you code... Seriously, you're a retard. And you don't deserve to call yourself a trader. This is a business, not a high school homework project. Shheeeezzz...

True... I've given up on F#. I just don't get the whole paradigm. I think it's a matter of necessity of learning it. If you work with other people and have a bunch of people moving with it, it becomes a better motivator...

Nah... Posting in ET is good enough charity for me. There's not a lot of places where you can waste time, help and troll at the same time. Seriously, I help people in ET by trolling and flaming at them.

I've read about it but isn't it generally for Web-type stuff? C# is still king for Windows GUIApp. Java for Linux GUI app. C/C++ for high end infrastructure.
