By that diagnosis the OP of this thread is more screwed up. He has the highest post count in ET. Talk about OCD. LOL

Just as I suspected: there is no such "simple math equation".

Which simple math equation?

This looks like the first draft of an advertisement. Also known as SPAM. This is your template for a commercial website, right? I mean, who comes to ET and then 'explains' to us what a trading strategy is? Exactly what kind of feedback were you expecting here, spammer?

The fact that you consider this an actual possibility should be disturbing to you.

Surf thinks predicting the markets means being 100% accurate all the time. He just can't imagine how predictions that are only 60% accurate can make money. :p

Red or black is 48.6% on European roulette but only 47.4% on American roulette. I suspect most traders aren't playing with odds much better than this. Interesting aside: in days of yore at certain casinos, some sharpies figured out that red slot paint was stickier than black slot paint and bet...

@BobbiDigital: This all sounds discretionary. You should try to convert it to mechanical if you can. That would not only simplify/amplify testing, it would enhance your execution as well. Disclose nothing about your strategy at this time. Just keep in mind that if you can't automate it...

For the record I don't sell feces. My strat may or may not be the best but it's lightyears ahead of OTA and other scammers. If I wanted to sell feces I wouldn't be charging a steep price for it. Cheap feces sells much better, based on what the scammers charge.

Dude, seriously? OK, first of all the link clearly says it goes to imageshack, a crappy image storage site that has nothing to do with ET. So ET did not remove the image. Second, do you really think some heatmap from 4.5 years ago is going to help your trading?

I had something more on-topic in mind: Beat the Market http://www.amazon.com/Kelly-Capital-Growth-Investment-Criterion/dp/9814383139/ref=la_B000APT0K6_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414446875&sr=1-2 Math professor does well in the world of trading! Who'da thunk it? :p

This is why I prefer indicators. Whatever their flaws, at least with indicators I don't have to try to pick faces, or in this case, heads and shoulders out of cloud patterns. BTW check out NoDoji's cool avatar. :)
