No they are not! There is not a one formal definition of a trend in any of your books. If you had one then you'd post it here rather than hide behind your "publicly available views". Cheers, MAESTRO

I categorically oppose any discussions of actual results as they have very little to prove or disprove. I would rather focus on the theoretical premise without any mentioning of the actual trading results. Even if somebody posts the results there is no objective way to verify that those results...

Just for the record. Here is my definition of a trend. Trend is a general description of a sustainable slope of any interpolator plotted on a set of historical data. There are no objective methods to predict the begging of a trend or its end. It's just a convenient non-formal...

I think the best way to start "debugging" the myth of trends is to start reading these types of books: http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Illusions-Science-Perception-Illusion/dp/1554071518/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1 http://www.amazon.ca/Seeing-Deceiving-Psychology-Visual-Illusions/dp/0470265221

"The well-constructed fortress of government, media, and Wall Street, all designed to bleed you dry ...", "None of those players want you to comprehend or act on the contents of this book. If you do get it, those groups lose power and money. They do not want to lose anything. Their grip...

Thank you for your insight. However, I prefer to stay away from the actual performance discussions here on ET. I think that everyone here deserves a benefit of a doubt. I am more interested in knowledge, education and sharing theoretical points of view. The question raised by bwolinsky is a...

Isn't that the truth!!! Cheers, MAESTO

I agree with that 100%. As the matter of fact I was waiting for an intelligent reply by the OP to your very simple and well deserved question myself. I have been saying for years that "TREND" is nothing but perception of a past observed data set. It's a "mirage" if you will. The corner stone...

Linear normalization vs non-linear is, of course, a question. It really depends on the nature of your indicator. However, i would always start with linear one as it is much easier to assess.

Pick a time window with a certain length (it could be in time units of ticks). Measure the highest value of your indicator during this time window and its lowest value. Calculate the absolute value between highest and lowest points of your indicator over this time window. Divide the current...

Sliding time window with the normalization by its High and Low. Cheers, MAESTRO

Well, these "nice" words end this discussion. Thank you all for your participation. Cheers, MAESTRO

Yes, and if you flip a coin 1000 times the ratio between heads and tails will be pretty damn close to 50/50, however, it does not make the coin flipping non-random. Some patterns that form by random processes look very stable (non-random) however, it does not mean that they are not random...

Oh, great, now we have two "market movers". Anybody else? I think I would be able to prescribe a pill for this delusion.

It certainly does because everything is non-random for yesterday, everybody is a genius in the Hindsight. However, could you show me the market profile for the next Monday please?

I see. So, are you an outsider, or the one who moves the market? If you are an outsider then following your own words "the market looks RANDOM" to you. However, if you are a "market mover" could you please show us "outsiders' how exactly have you moved the markets today?

ARGUMENT #2 Randomness no doubt determines events in our world Positions taken on determinism in modern times invariably have to contend with the fact that indeterminism has been proved quite comprehensively in the quantum world. Determinism however is maintained for the world at...

Now back to the software upgrade. FIRST ARGUMENT EVERYTHING IS RANDOM Determinism would seem to be seriously challenged by quantum theory, which has proved randomness in as far as quantum events are concerned. This is however rejected by determinative thinkers who hold that...

You know, people like you make posting on ET worthwhile! Best Luck and Best Wishes to you! The spark of interest , desire to learn, fascination with the subject - those are the things that I always hope to ignite. Thank you for your appreciation. Cheers, MAESTRO P.S. Unfortunately, I...
