There is only way by which one can prove "non-randomness" of the markets: It is by showing that the outcome of any given trade can be known ahead of time with 100% accuracy. Any other outcome will prove that the markets are random.

The answer is "infinity" in both cases. If your loss = 0 (which is not entirely improbable in a finite number of trade sequence) you are dividing your profits by zero which produces infinity as your PF. So your Max PF = INFINITY

I understand. But being a psychologist my self Jack's posts offer me the richest material one could possibly ask for. I actually saved them all on my computer. It's simply fascinating and immensely entertaining! The human mind is so multidimensional and infinitely complex. Having a chance to...

You do realize that in order to make back your 50% you need to make a 100% on the remaining capital, don't you? :cool:

Just sit back, blur your eyes and try to read every other word in his post. The cryptic message will appear! It's actually a pretty good reading when you are stoned. Makes you brain go in all the directions simultaneously, and of, course, you always forget what you were reading about in the...

I like this. Esthetics is a philological enhancer! Absolutely! How about this indicator? I called it "Elastic Bands". Is it esthetically pleasing?

Good statement! Would you give us a hint of how do you personally recognize those "swings"? What are you looking for? What does trigger you feelings of change in the supply and demand? Interesting!
