So if all publicly available information is useless in forecasting price movement, I assume that Nickel doesn't use a chart or quote provider at all?

Thanks Baruch! :)

How do you prove something is not just "temporarily" successful yet ultimately "false"? :confused:

It's not just an icon, there's a little pop-up that constantly tells you TWS is trying to log-in, even though you're already in.

Nickel, you're like an atheist stopping in a church to use the bathroom, then interrupting the choir for proof of god's existence -- do you really care, and why should they take the time to bother? :D

How's about 40? Take your profit there and help cap the market! My stops down to breakeven already -- yes, I'm a wuss :D Night all!

You guys are in luck, I'm short but with my track record with EUR lately I think you all will come out in the green -- all I ask is just stop me out gently, please :)

A swing trader recently-turned-scalper who has the guts to proclaim the death of trendfollowing -- now is that a sign of the times or what? Here's one thing for sure, if I was a pure trendfollower, I would pray that the entire world thinks that trendfollowing is dead, and would be grateful to...

And how will you test the validity of any method in question? If it works Monday, will you be convinced, given your admission that any false method will yield "success to some degree"? What if it works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? Do you still need Friday? When does "success to some...

Last I checked, profitable trading didn't require scientific proof to make it worthwhile. Doesn't it make sense that something which worked very well in the past may not work now because the market and it's players have all adapted to that methodology? And does it really matter what you...

Not sure, but are we arguing the same point here? My point was that a system will capture a certain percentage of range of any given currency, the number of pips doesn't matter. Theoretically, if aussie has half the range, the same trader applying the same edge (assuming all else being equal...

I thought profits/losses per day was determined by the effectiveness of one's edge and ability to read the market; avg range just measures typical volatility, which should only factor into position size and stop placement as risk increases equally with potential reward -- please correct me if...

What does avg range have anything to do with avg profit? 80 pip range also means you can lose 80 pips a day as well. I don't understand why people obssess over average anything, the question makes absolutely zero sense at all.

Long time no post, good to hear things are going well. :)

On a bit of a tangent/side-note: took me a long time, but I eventually became a big believer in varying one's bet size relative to perceived risk/reward, and having the bulk of my gains come from a few outsized winners. My emphasis on what constituted a "good" trade shifted from number of...

I've had one for the past 7 years, was thinking of getting another for a relative of mine. And yeah, those silver ones look pretty cool :)

Anyone know any good deals for a new herman miller aeron?

I just meant funny as in ironic. Anyways, I apologize, I didn't mean anything personal, and appreciate you taking the time to post your wisdom about the RE market and minorities in general. Let's try to keep this thread on topic. What's the rental income psf for Uncle Tom's cabin these days?

Always sounds funny when people who think they don't discriminate take the time to describe how they don't. :confused:

Sounds great, definitely keep us posted on how it progresses. How closely do you need to monitor your system? When you see it completed, does it scale-in, adjust stops, take partials etc completely on its own, or do you need to observe and adjust manually? The idea of complete automation...
