The thing you're looking is what all technical traders are looking for. So expecting to find it in the public domain is naive. Are all indicators useless? Maybe all the publicly disclosed ones are. But there are proprietary indicators that will consistently find trends and some of them may...

Maybe instead of sharing it, you should be charging a commission for providing a winning system to people who can't trade themselves. Not sure of all the legal details involved in that. Also what is the reason why you can't go EOD instead of weekly to increase your win rate? I don't...

LMAO !! (not really laughing at Jack; even if he's an overall winner, I'd still be ROFLing at the comparison to the Dos Equis uberdude :D ) "Stay Greedy, My Friends" :p

Having reread my post, I apologize that it came across as a slam at all social sciences. I have a thing about economystics as you undoubtedly can tell, but I do respect psychology, sociology and other social sciences as real sciences. I should have spoken of "Nobel-prize envy" rather than...

I just gave a serious answer to a serious question. Now tell me, why does that upset you so? Do you feel relieved now? Oh, good! :D

I call it science envy. Economists and the other soft scientists have always been envious of the major advances made by the hard sciences like physics and chemistry. Economystics (as I sometimes refer to economists) were the most envious of all, so among other things they came up with their...

Perhaps you and Murray should have placed your threads in the correct forum. :D

Allow me to point out the following, which is always true: %signal + %noise = 100% Sorry if my emphasis on noise has caused confusion. It's just that for my particular signal, it is easier to directly measure the strength of the noise and then use the formula above to make the conversion...

Always refer to the basic wiki definition of noise. Whenever price moves in a fashion that counters your method of trading, be it your desire to enter the market in a favorable manner or to exit in a favorable manner, then you've encountered noise. You thought you had a signal to enter or to...

Looks like a disagreement over semantics here. To me, it's not all signal because it's not all tradeable. Price signal = tradeable movements; price noise = untradeable movements. Unless you've found a way to trade every single price movement, it ain't all signal.

Interesting how you put it: "noise, whatever that is" because that is precisely the problem (and the solution!) During my weekend forage of wikipedia for new insights, I ran across this definition: "Noise is an unwanted perturbation to a wanted signal." Brilliant! This is why we (the...

Argent, what do you think of using a spreadsheet as a backtest platform? I've had some mixed success, but mainly due to my recent discovery that I was measuring price noise all wrong and I have to reformulate my metric. That of course is not a limitation of the platform, just my own myopia on...

Maybe the lesson to learn here is to stop waiting so long between your posts. If you're going to start off with a promise to present something, why give the trolls a chance to threadjack before you present it?

You'd be amazed. Supercomputers are no better than their programmers, and those PhD programmers mostly aren't the geniuses you're assuming they are. Most can't think outside the box, in fact they get paid to NOT think outside the box (random walk theory and other garbage). Most are great with...

Still waiting for this. I respectfully request that the rest of you take your arguments elsewhere, then maybe we'll get some inputs from Murray on what he promised. Thanks.

No and no. People lose money in trading for many reasons, and using crappy indicators based on poor data smoothing may be one of them.

Well you can't trade the past so hanging the chandelier from a previous high makes no sense to me. My 2¢ worth.

Most everything in the public domain, you mean. There's stuff in the private domain you have no idea about. Nobody knows everything there is to know about objective TA. And I'm sure Aronson is a great guy; that doesn't mean his analysis isn't flawed.

Because you've personally tested every possible objective-TA-based strategy there is, right? :D Or are you hoping to goad somebody into just handing you their successful objective TA strategy, just to shut you up? Tell you what. You PROVE that objective TA doesn't work under any...

Random entry only "works" when coupled with a high-quality exit as well as good money management. And it NEVER beats the buy-and-hold. You've been told this many times yet you keep coming back with the same old BS time after time after time, like a broken record. You repeatedly post this...
