yes, this is what i meant. i'm aware this isn't easy and it's probably something i will never even be able to do. i just think that it would be possible for a computer to analyze stock market data and come up with the best trading system it could. we all know even our own PCs can do a lot...

i know tradestation can't do this, but what is this concept called? why can't i give tradestation stock market data and have IT tell me what stock system will give me the best results? instead of me thinking of all the possible systems, why can't it be like a calculator and do the work for...

FPC, read my pms... i need help. lol :(

lol quite frankly, i don't see why it got closed. i think we're old enough to handle a few naughty words. thunderbolt, you should be glad it's over with, the aheists dominated it big time.

whatever happened to the saying that we are ALL EQUAL UNDER THE LAW? what a bunch of bullsh!t that is! if i pay 39.6% in taxes and you pay zero. how is that fuck!ng equal? a flat tax is at least acceptable because you at least pay the same percentage as everyone else. even though the...

anyone who agrees at all with my above post should read the following post i made, it's the story of the ant and the grasshopper...but updated for our times. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=109600#post109600

this is flat out the reason for our problems: most people in our country ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE. they buy new cars before they can really afford them, have too many kids before they can afford them. these people set themselves up for life long struggle paying bills week after week. they will...

i would like to say one more thing... one of the reasons our country was founded is because of excessive taxes by the king. isn't it ironic we are back at square one, except now we are excessively taxing ourselves.

for the record, i'm not at all saying we/i should not pay taxes. what i'm saying is, the system for determining our taxes is an ABSOLUTE JOKE. just look at our tax code and it is obvious something is wrong. also, paying taxes and limiting waste are two different things. yes, i should pay taxes...

ok here's aphie's chart that i added to.

aphie, i'm gonna take your chart and show you how i want to play it. but i don't know how to REALLY do it yet because i can't figure out how to calculate what i want to know. hehe... anyway, it's basically what i just talked about. you find the extremes for the current volatility and fade...

yes, for the most part, crossover systems suck.

this was posted by super_ego: "One more time.....Stocks/futures are, on a daily basis, trying to MOVE INTO and MOVE AWAY FROM the 5 period moving average ON A DAILY CHART. It is massive movements away from the 5 period moving average that are going to make you lots of money. Because when...

aphie, i like what you're saying. basically, you're saying that you like my general idea of finding what is an extreme price by % away from a moving average (perhaps), but you ALSO want to have the % away extreme defined by and change with the current volatility. so say for example...

i could not agree more with this guy. what a jucking foke our tax system is. i am never going to pay estimated taxes. i'll pay the damn penalty every freaking time. of course, everyone agrees and hates our tax system, but nothing ever gets done. instead, resources are wasted paying for illegal...

i'm not necessarily disagreeing, but what's something simple that you know works?

super_ego/FPC, i'd appreciate some input regarding my previous post in this thread. when super_ego got into the nuts & bolts of his trading, there is actually a similarity here. super_ego used a 5sma to determine the trend. if the 5sma was sloping down, he would short near the 5sma and cover...

aphie, i think you are onto something i've thought about myself. i could be wrong, but i think stocks, etc. have what i call "extremes." the extreme is an area away from a moving average at which the price will historically revert to the mean of the moving average. kind of like bollinger...

where's dick morris

ok here are the tc2000 negatives... the scan syntax is very basic. this isn't necessarily bad, but just be aware you can't do IF THEN statements. you can only do AND OR. you can still do some good scans, but just be aware of this limitation. ok, now for the #1 problem with tc2000.......THE...
