can you post a chart pls?

Just running stats on 75k stocks is a bad idea. You must have an intricate mix or filtering criteria based on sector, industry, country groupings etc. Just filtering using such criteria and looking inside each sector should reduce the 75k number to 1k or so per sector/per industry. My guesstimate.

Will be helpful if you can give slightly more background information. Who are you, who do you represent. Where are you based? Are you an individual or a small firm? What are the features you are planning to implement in your platform? How long you envisage the contract life to be? Can the...

Pekelo good theory! :)

Think about it. Why can't Bitcoin be outlawed effectively. Marijuana is outlawed but people do use it. Of course, some people will continue to use it. But the day Washington passes a law making it illegal to trade in Bitcoin, the currency will take a 90% beating in value. My point is Government...

My intuition tells me that BitCoin will end up causing huge amounts of losses to thousands of people. A lot of people who like living in virtual land will lose their shirts and will become overnight worthless. When a bubble like this pops, it won't give anyone time of 5 days to cover their...

Let me be the first to admit that my understanding of this is 1 hour old and I could very well turn out to be wrong. However, I have developed strong opinion after reading through the links and just wrote my impression of it. As far as the possibilty to make sizable gains in this economy, I...

If you have not heard about BitCoin, you are missing out. Take 15 minutes and read below 2 links. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=7269.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=74609.0 I want to do a quick poll on what ET community thinks of BitCoin? Disclaimer: I have become...

First, Thank you for the link. No disrespect intended to anyone here. Please don't take it personally. But after going through some links, this is my thought on Bitcoin: 1) 3-in-1 illustration of intellectual, mathematical and computational masturbation at a grand scale, by a whole...

have been watching this thread on top page of ET for sometime. Just browsing through it. Sorry but can't make sense of it. Why are members discussing dollar cost averaging in mining in Forex Trading forum? Is it some kind of mining company?

I am a profitable futures trader. When I started I lost a lot of money and I was consistent at that :D However, with sheer hard work and determination and testing a lot of hypothesis I have become profitable. So, yes trading only 1 instrument profitably is possible. I think one big reason...

I don't think she is Brooks, however she could be Mrs. Brooks :D Nod j/k

Do you have a link?

+1. I agree with above. Becoming successful at trading is much harder than successfully completely grad work at an ivy league. I attest to it.

I listen carefully to what Wulfrede has to say. However, it is certainly possible that you did not find value in Brooks books and after having devoted many months on that material are now feeling frustrated. This is my advice to you: Take your 10k-20k account or whatever you have and if...

Doing an analysis of one's past trades to identify key characteristics is a smart way to approach ones' trading - its like following scientific method. Many of my methods work well within 1 hr from open. So, my experience jibes with you. Good luck.

Overall good discussion in the thread. If you would like me to point out particular posts that I really liked. 1) There was a post which had an attachment that compared residuals of spline against MA. I found it useful. 2) There were some posts by Mike805 wherein he distilled his...

I found value in the thread. Thanking Hurricane for linking to a good thread. Its hard to find otherwise good threads among so many useless threads on ET. Thats all.

Thanks Hurricane for the link. Went through the thread. Its good.

I am surprised at some guys dismissing this question. I think it is always good to benchmark oneself, irrespective of the kind of success one achieves. Per trade profitability data over a long period of time is very scarce to find, especially for people who trade big size. If one works in an...
