    Do my backtest is good enough??

    Backtesting does not include the "psychological anxiety/money pressure" (and how it alters your behavior/discipline/hope) you'll experience when trading for real. Trade small at first and work your way up. No need to be in a hurry to get rich. It will all still be there when you are ready.

    Do my backtest is good enough??

    So... you believe you have a method that works. Next thing to do is trade it sim. If that appears to work out, then trade real money... but SMALL. You will learn things you hadn't considered. If trading small is successful for you, then scale up. If that works, go buy yourself a FERRARI!! :)

    Stop Loss and Profit Areas Strategy : Money Management Skill Query

    Doesn't sound like a scammer to me... just a noob... looking for a way to "clear the fog". (Successful trading requires a specific skill set. Having a PhD in anything may or not be worth anything for the task.)

    How do You set your Stops? Got favorite ideas?

    Disagree. Exercising/not exercising stops is a "style" thing. You make money (even survive) with your style and discipline.

    Mini HDMI?

    Are you running from an onboard video chip? If so, you don't need a new computer, maybe just an appropriate video card.

    How do You set your Stops? Got favorite ideas?

    Stops are always a guess. In general, you want to place initial long stops just below chart support and short stops just above chart resistance. As for trailing stops... they are a guess also, but long stops could reasonably go just below "rising bottoms" support or "prior dip low" support...

    When a model becomes extinct

    I don't know that it is. I'm a science guy and accustomed to thinking that way. With a Mars landing, you have known variables which can be calculated and projected. With the correlations in TA forming "anywhere on the chart", you don't have known values from which to start or where they will...

    When a model becomes extinct

    Just for kicks, I wrote down off the top of my head the types of correlations that come to mind. I listed 30 of them. (There are probably a few more I'm aware of that didn't come immediately to mind... and surely some I haven't discovered.) With at least "30 things" to watch for, it would be...

    When a model becomes extinct

    Disagree about market "would not exist". LOL about not seeing an edge in Price TA. That's just because you haven't yet recognized the correlations. If I sat you down and pointed them out, YOU'D SHIT YOUR DRAWERS... about how they have been right there in front of your eyes every day (for...

    When a model becomes extinct

    Conceptually, seems it could be. After all, as "they" can land a vehicle on an asteroid beyond Saturn 5 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 2 hours and 6 minutes from now (after doing a "gravity assist slingshot fly by" of JUPITER)... I have to believe it would be possible. Unlikely though...

    When a model becomes extinct

    If one could automate the correct application of Price TA, it would be the TRUE Holy Grail.
