    A question regarding the theoretical validity of TRIN

    "Against this background, let's consider your proposed scenario of a down trending TRIN. TRIN will go down if its numerator goes down and/or if its denominator goes up." also, both mumerators and denominators can go down and the TRIN can still trend down do i have to give you examples for...

    A question regarding the theoretical validity of TRIN

    "Against this background, let's consider your proposed scenario of a down trending TRIN. TRIN will go down if its numerator goes down and/or if its denominator goes up. " um, not true. again, you need to reasses your math. that is not inclusive of what makes trin go down. TRIN can ALSO...

    A question regarding the theoretical validity of TRIN

    the TRIN is not an indicator (at least for me) that says BUY here or sell here. TRIN is simply a measure (which is obvious if u see how it is constructed) of buying or selling pressure across the board. what is important is NOT the value of the trin, nearly as much as how it is trending...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    the argument over whether TA is subjective is kind of silly. similar to whether Fundamentals are subjective. both can (and usually do) employ INTEPRETATION, which is of course subjetive, as people use them however, some trading systems and rules, whether based on Fundies, TA, or both...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    nice post, nutseal my stops (and targets ) are dependant on the setup and since i generally scale out (for most setups), it's hard to talk about the so called R/R ratio cause there is a fixed INITIAL stop, but more than one target one of my most frequent YM setups is a 10 pt stop 6...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    mike, these are good points. one of the reasons TA works is that price patterns form (and have for centuries in all markets) because of people's emotions - price is an opinion, and these opinions are based on hope, fear, greed, panic, euphoria, etc. TA is also a derivative OF TA. it is...

    I Sold 40% of My Portfolio Today

    which market? stocks, gold, oil, corn, wheat, etc? why do people have this narrow view that the Nasdaq Composite (or S&P) is THE MARKET and there are no other opp's out there. if that is going down, there are no other longs for pete's sake. it's like all the people who didn't want...

    Technical Analysis, from a Quant's Perspective

    "According to statistics, TA or QA only works over 50% of the times; which means that you cut the loses and let the winners run. In the end, it doesn't matter the type of analysis you are using, one win will equals at least 5 loses. " utter rubbish. this is the trend following mantra...

    sweeet. one subject that i have still not resolved is whether raw albumin has lower bioavailibility (see: avidin). there is a fair amount of controversy on this. btw, the company "egg whites international" sells a really kewl product. it is a pasteurized egg white that basically has no...

    superfoods for trading

    albumin is great. it is pure protein and has a wonderful amino profile. the yolks have many things that are good in addition to protein, such as fats, lecithin, minerals, etc. if you get yer eggs from chickens that are fed the proper foods (vs. farm raised), egg yolks also have a high...
