"Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?" Why not? Since you can't even define a trend, what makes you think it can't be generated by both random and non-random processes? The fact is, they are: generated randomly and nonrandomly. This would be obvious if you gave any serious...

The Anglican Church had/has theologians as well. And if Disraeli is the earliest you could find, you didn't look very hard.

Trend following strategies tend to have more losers than winners. There's nothing wrong with that as long as your average winning trade is bigger than your average losing trade. So profit-taking aka "scaling out" is risky for trend followers because it reduces your average win.

"Official" has nothing to do with intelligence or education. Hillary graduated from the same law school as Bill, in the same class in fact. She's been with him throughout his entire political career. As governor of Arkansas, he worked at home, where she was as well. As president of the...

Thanks, gbos. This post and the example you gave here emphasize the importance of using the exact formula to determine the Kelly fraction. The approximation (p*W - (1-p)*L)/(W*L) grossly overestimates the true value in this case. Ironically the wrong but widely posted approximation p -...

The pinheads comment was a critique aimed at theologians by people who saw them as bullshitters at best. This was back in the days when the Church had as much or more power than the government, and theologians were seen by many the way corrupt Congressmen are seen today: just perpetuating the...

:( Sorry, I was asking what choices of position sizing your program offers.

Position sizing options?

Looks like the Reagan&Bush-Bush plan to delete civics classes from US high school curricula has worked out perfectly. You can tell from many of the completely ignorant comments in this forum alone that some citizens have no clue as to how their government should be working, an ignorance which...

Kelly ratio ~= E(return)/E(return²) == E(return)/(Var(return) + E(return)²) Kelly ratio ~= 0.001/(0.0294² + 0.001²) = 1.15558843 Good to go! :D

True, but anything better than the (A)ZLMA is likely to cost some dough. :p

Name one. Hell, name two while you're at it. Didn't you get the point of this thread was to discuss, not to just dismiss?

The bottom line on Position sizing. And I think "stops" is something better discussed in Strategy Trading than in this forum. But I'm open to persuasion.

OMG :eek: Dude, Bruce Lee was the real thing. His One Inch Punch was legendary among the martial artists of his day. Granted, the movies were stupid, as were all the other Hong Kong kungfu movies of that time, but there was nothing fake about Bruce Lee's real-life martial art skills.

Name one. Based on what evidence? Tell us the democrat(s) who support public restroom sex or stop putting out this blatant strawman as if it was a fact. And we KNOW Republicans are OK with their adulterous whoremongers keeping their Senate seats. Just make sure it isn't a male whore instead of...

Pure projection, reichtard.

Why not demand they denounce robbery, murder and littering as well? This is such strawman nonsense, I'm surprised you can post it with sincerity. Craig is the GOP's problem. The Democrats are following the old advice: don't interrupt your opponents when they're hanging themselves.

Lashing out at McConnell By Betsy Rothstein and Elana Schor September 07, 2007 Rep. Mike Simpson (R) condemned Senate GOP leaders on Thursday for their treatment of fellow Idahoan Sen. Larry Craig (R), accusing them of hypocrisy. (Does this make Simpson a "liberal" in Coulter-ese...
