:confused: :confused: :confused: I'm guessing you're talking about systematic trading... :) 1. Is your forward-optimization ("analysis") based on time? What do you mean by path? 2. My passion out of trading is sex. Is that wrong? 3. How is he supposed to diversify? 4. He...

My bad. The DD of 60% was incorrect. 1998 and 2002 was underperforming and took 2002 and 2003 incorrectly... though... Shouldn't the Std. Dev. be lower???? From my understanding... Lower the Std. Dev., lower the volatility... Am I missing something? PS. I still think your model...

Interesting replies... Honestly, I was suspecting that you were one of those "heard it all" but "not done at all" type in ET. Of course, you're not competent but I can see you've done some ground work. I replied because of all the BS. replies you got. (Everyone starts as newb. but some...

There's nothing wrong with using S&P as a benchmark, based on what he mentions. Institutionally... he needs to be outperforming the S&P every year. 60+% DD is way too high. Your datasets are way too small. The std. dev/volatility of the performance is way too high. Finally, it'll get...

False.

I'll start off. 1. One of the factors of developing a trading model is to extract a certain tendency of the market. Simply/Obvious, right? Trying to find a "System of Everything" will not work. Look at Opening Range Breakout, there is a definite fundamental reasoning for it. The Equities...

1. A good way to find a mentor is for you to provide them with computer support and in return have them teach/watch them trade. Most discretionary traders can't program. Go in as a trader assistant using your IT background. This should be a fair deal for both sides. 2. You will need to...

I have a few questions: 1. Can you elaborate on why you think you're not profitable yet? 2. Why not join a prop. firm around your area? 3. Can you tell me your current trading setup? Like # of computers, screens, software, broker, products (equities, futures, forex, etc.) you trade...

My second computer was built. Now Dell and others are cheaper.

My right nut is slightly bigger. At least, that's what I've been told.

Simple base issue. Everyone sees what you see. What you mention is very basic. So think what you think as an edge doesn't exist. So... What makes you profitable? What is it that you do that is profitable? When you have a clear answer, you'll have a better idea of what indicator to...

Hold on... let me use my right brain to answer that... Hrmm... hold on... let me switch onto the left... :confused: :confused: :confused: You guys get the point.... correct??? :D :D :D (Stupid thread alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

As in every computing issue that deals with speed, you need to 2 things that need to be considered: 1. Well programmed software. 2. Strong computing power. I can run the same test done in Tradestation, > 1/100 of the time on C#. If you are having problems, it's time you learn to...

... you get eaten by the wolf.

Have you ever thought that athletes train and pursue their ability in their own sports? You take a 400 pound guy who runs a mile in 30 min.. Are you going to have him take Aikido or are you going to make him lose weight so that he can run???

So you can program? What you are missing is Quantitaive Risk Management and Market Knowledge. I've learned to program after I was able to trade discretionary comfortably... Reverse path of my career but I think we all come up to the same place. Become a Jack-of-all-Trader. Anyways, I...

Another vote for Acronis.

:eek: :eek: :eek: You guys talk like trading is about achieving Saint-hood or some enlightenment... Isn't that how cults usually start??? :D :D :D

Who's Daniel?
