I would tend to agree with that. While the terms are closely synonymous, with regards to trading, the above distinction can be clarified. A system is comprised of methods or rules. You might for instance have a method for entries, a method for exits, and a method for risk management. All...

Don't forget they were largest net long ever on the S&P500 contracts right at the top, while speculators were largest short. Go figure, but just an observation.

Good luck. And give some feedback, the good and the bad. BTW. The examples are in trade station code for the stridsman book, but if you understand programming you should be able to replicate them. If you are weak on programming, the book still explains the mechanics of backtesting well...

A pretty good overview of the mechanical aspects of backtesting (a little light on stats and slightly outdated with respect to out of sample testing) is trading systems and money management by thomas stridsman. Evaluation and optimization of trading systems by r. pardo, is a more modern intro...

Not true at all. If you flip a coin and see a common pattern, does that mean you know what to do? No. It means if you've done your homework beyond looking at many visual Rorschach blots, and perusing the few cherry picked examples from the many books you'll encounter on your TA journey, you...

Power can be measured differently, depending on the type of supply. Generally speaking, stick to using the Watt variable, when looking at supplies, rather than VA (the larger VA numbers look good for marketing purposes). Watts is often about 60% of direct VA. And although they sometimes...

welcome to the world of rorschach inkblot tests. Unfortunately, most books forget to expand on the subjectivity part. It's good that you are catching that early on.

yeah, you should be fine. Just make sure that the wattage is equal or better to the pre-configured one. If you are going to change your video driver, double check that the new supply has lines capable of driving your nvidia. Sometimes this is an issue. It's been a while, but I had to...

plug two units into two different ubs slots. I think as long as you are only using one at a time, they will not conflict. Occasionally, I have both a wired mouse and a wired pen tablet both connected, only the one I use is active, the other doesn't conflict.

Not sure I can explain practical applications, since as you said the variables become rather large quickly. However, I think it does serve to explain a lot of the way wall street works behind the scenes (unfortunately, we peons are trickled down distortions of real information). There are...

is it wired or wireless? If wireless, the obvious solution is to replace the batteries. Wired, try another mouse just to verify the UBS slot and computer are fine. If a different mouse works great, likely new mouse time. You could also try cleaning the bottom of the mouse with windex or...

Daily changes --non-correlated over the long run.

you could try to find a relationship empirically. Start with a small data set, calculate the number of permutations of the dataset and the time it took to converge to an acceptable sample distribution of the statistic you are optimizing (could take all possible permutations as benchmark, but...

one other idea. If you suspect an arc or short on the RAM slot pins, from the power surge, you can probe adjacent pins with a thin probe and a digital ohmmeter that beeps (very easy to do). Then check for opens between RAM slot and bottom of the board. If you have the time, it's fast to check...

Forget those green/red indicators, we've got hyperclick! and the test drive won't cost one red cent... --BUT-- Before you can start your "free" test drive, have that credit card ready! ----------------------------------- sounds legit to me.

I can attest to both the tv part and the cheap surge protector part as I have had a surge go right through the protector (protector never broke the circuit) and passed right through and fried my supply. That being said, again supplies have regulators although it's possible for a spike to...

a better question would be, "is there any strong correlation between economic indicators and the stock market." Many statistical studies, when adjusted for various biases (i.e. lookahead), show very little correlation. http://www.cxoadvisory.com/blog/internal/blog4-16-07/

Not disputing your experience, but something about that sounds very bizarre. Was it 3V rms or DC offset? Should not be DC, as the house transformers are CT grounded at zero. Even if it was DC offset, it should not pass through the supply as transformers don't pass DC, at least one PS side...

some ideas: I don't think there is any power other than the cmos battery (very low draw) being applied while computer is off. Did your new power supply have a higher wattage rating than the old one? Seems like if you need more power drive that would be a solution. Try a much higher...
