    Paying for a mentor vs. Elite Trader Forum

    I fully agree with you, but people would do anything to avoid at all costs sorting out their psychology. They'll find tons of escuses : - psychology is not the problem, the edge is : but then ask them to be disciplined 4 months even on demo and they can't - i am ok , and i don't need a shrink...

    There you talked about psychology being the cause : was it fully the psychology or the method in itself?

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    Thanks a lot. Could you also add one set with 10 times profit target chosen. R, matlab, etc: as long as the charts are there, then who cares. :)

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    Try with one profit target. And plot its wire of stops on (i,j). Different wire colors is a very good way to highlight it. Actually, do you mind putting such a 3D plot for a 50 and 100sma, 20 and 50 sma, as well as 100sma and 200 sma. I am curious to check how different these are.

    londonkid: what were the reasons you failed the LTP stage of the Combine ?

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    No : you plot the different "wires" on the same 3D plot. You can start with 5 profits values , all on the same chart.

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    In that case, your could plot a set of 3D "wires" i,j, stop values curve ( the chart named profitvaluek)

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    You need first to formalise your problem in a "math" way fast-sma ( valuei) = fast-sma + increment_fastsma Fsma(i) = Fsma0 + i*coeffF Ssma(j)= Ssma0 +j*coeffS stops(k)= stops0 + k*coeffK For each you get the profit = Function ( i,j,k). Now, you want to maximise the profit, while...

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    This is one suggestion, as you are using matlab. few minutes that I copy this.

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    lso, if I understand well, for each fast -slow sma value, you are running a strategy and extract the sharp ratio, that you plot ? Now you want to also include another variable the stop loss? Am I understanding correctly what you are trying to do?

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    Which parameter do you want to minimize ? the stoploss ?

    Optimization of 3 or more parameters

    ehbeehefak Take this with a pinch of salt, as my memories of "theoretical" optimisation is a bit far, and I have no docs around here. Basically, you want to maximize profits, while minimizing loss. These conditions will give you a sample of smas values. Now you have various "theoretical...
