    How do I get rid of all these anti-virus pop-ups?

    Having cleaned many viruses for others, I would say PC hell is a good place to look for solutions. I would also say (one of the recs) superantispyware has been a pretty good cleaner of last resort for the particularly nasty cases. Generally you want to google for your specific virus and...

    Hedge Fund Strategies

    My response would be that the FAR MAJORITY of TA that is peddled is completely subjective and tends to draw inferences from anecdotal observations. When cornered to look at the universe of alternative outcomes, practitioners tend to become defensive and argue that you just don't have the "gift"...

    Testing Candlesticks

    I see. And how many samples (and observations/sample) did you use to determine the sampling distribution of your random sample statistics? And where did the 34% return lie on the confidence interval? The 34% drop looks biased to me.

    Yahoo finance a bit off

    Woah, I pulled up nas and thought they did a reverse split or something. Good thing they aren't in the broker business, or there would be an awful lot of shorts crying foul.:D

    Testing Candlesticks

    Back to the original question I posed (you answered some, but not all). If the results show an ~ 50% rate of success, then how is that different than random entry. I.e. If you use the candlestick entry and objective exit parameters, how do the resulting metrics compare to completely random...

    Acrary is a genius!

    Comment away, but, if you really want to impress the audience, let us know when you've reverse engineered the system or proven it's not possible..:D Anyone who's followed my posts should know I'm not prone to fabricating tales. I'm more in the verification and deconstruction camp (although...

    Acrary is a genius!

    I can tell you that a system exists that has 100% profitable trades in backtesting. No BS. It does not matter whether you assume the data is random or non-random: irrelevant. No TA necessary, only past, present, and future price (exact future being unknown of course). It is also extremely...

    dynamic yield curve in excel

    That's not a dynamic yield curve. This is. http://stockcharts.com/charts/YieldCurve.html As I said, it can be replicated in excel exactly as you see above.

    Testing Candlesticks

    what was the entry and exit criteria (I saw you wrote enter next candle, is that following daily open? profit exit when)? What was the max daily drawdown (in %) and sharp ratio. What window do you use for your drawdown? Interesting work. I've run similar tests on equities previously, and...

    Firefox removing all my bookmarks

    I am pretty thorough about viruses, and on the very slim chance that it could be one , I'd like to hear about someone that verified that. It is a very intermittent phenomenon, and most often happens on firefox updates. There are some known bugs reported here (not viruses, but firefox...

    Firefox removing all my bookmarks

    I've had this happen too many times. And to be honest, I never understood why. Sometimes it's updates, other times; no reason. I agree it is very annoying, as it also removes the tab shortcuts. Fortunately, you always have backups of your firefox bookmarks stored. Do a search (on your...

    98% of Traders Fail? Says Who...?

    Nothing stupid about observing facts. You sure you are not a broker? "MOST people can make a great living..." with... "-TIGHT STOPS-" and day-trading. The facts do not equate to your personal opinion.

    nano = 10e-9 micro = 10e-6 Now if you had said nano-caps, I might have gotten it. :confused: However, nano and micro are quite different.

    Evidence Based TA by Aronson

    The simple answer is no, because as you just mentioned, you "optimized" it again. Optimize = cherry picking = bias. Since you hypothetically proved 5X20 was previously statistically significant, it may deflect the bias somewhat (there could be a way to model it as a type of conditional...

    POLL: Are Fibonacci numbers a worthless or expensive crutch when it comes to trading?

    <IMG src=http://i33.tinypic.com/ri9i50.jpg width=800> Just for the heck of it (forget statistics, they lie), I decided to put together an arbitrary, somewhat objective test. The 1st chart shows the stock with fib lines identified, they are moving relative to a a 50 day window of the min...
