This RSI Buy/Sell system proposed by Dennis Meyers provides a very good performance reprot: www.lynixco.com/mysterysys.pdf http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/Archive/1096/Abstracts1096/Meyersabst.html :confused:

Thanks Bbmat for the input. And here are my speculative views (worth total up to 20 cents): 1. TA (according to whatever definitions) would not be the only analysis which is based on past information. Basically all types of quantitative analysis (using maths, stats, combination, etc.)...

Whether you think you can or you can't, you're already right! :)

From one of the reviewers: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1557385335/ref=ed_oe_h/104-6209799-4673557?v=glance&s=books&st=* Q Gallacher is neither totally wrong nor totally right in his methodical destruction of technical analysis. What he overlooks is that...

Any other good books (non-TA stuff) related to trading (and hedge funds alike as well, if you don't mind) you would suggest? :)

Thanks Bbmat for the feedback! :)

It would be possible that for many traders (from a range of different backgrounds), the probability of becoming a hedge fund manager (or a very profitable private trader) would be many times higher than becoming a top-notch trader in any I-Banks on the Street, I would think. :confused:

Due to so many different factors, how many would become top-notch traders in those I-Banks on the Street? Probably much lesser than 5%! :confused:

Just curious: Why some traders would suggest that an edge (in terms of such as siding, timing, etc.) is not so important (comparing to other factors), if not critical, to long term success (good profits)?! :confused:

:D Potentially, some other (probably) valid statements could inlcude such as: - Not only about 5% traders could make big profits, but also another 90% traders are in the process approaching to make big profits, except only the remaining 5% roughly (without proper knowledge) would make big...

http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=387441 Another 20 cents: Whatever % mentioned could be merely our guess. Before anyone produces a statistical/survey report (which may or maybe be available in the trading field due to various reasons), perhaps finding (or picking by...

20 cents, I would think: Probably Harry's using Arcsine distribution (maybe Harry should re-post the Arcsine curve here again for our reference) to depict the distribution of all-traders' performance/wealth would be about right, just this time :D , and insightful as well :). :confused: PS...

I give up, bye! :D

Apparently I must be wrong as if this link is relevant!? :confused:

How is this multiple related to "zero-sum"? :confused:

:confused: Apparently only to you! :D

Truly great post indeed! :)
