Surf, I provided you live account trading performance, which was posted initially upon start (thank you for offering me such an idea back in August) and had several people watching it closely and commenting almost every day (I can't post the link here for obvious reasons, it would be conflict of...

Surf, of course "ATM" and like that is just having fun. In reality we treat our trading very seriously as it should be treated being a serious business. Just you know, such a funny feeling to read how "TA doesn't work" and similar claims knowing exactly it DOES work (for us)... hence not...

NoD demonstrated her ability numerous times, but you better ask very politely rather than pick on her with the challenge. :)

Aye. :D "Systems don't work" reminds me of someone standing near the very advanced medical equipment and complaining "I tried to make it work for a whole week, it doesn't show me my bowels and so is crap" :)

Exactly, NoD! Even a blow-up is a stop-loss, just poorly placed one. :) So funny to hear these "I don't use stop-losses" claims.

Wonder would you tell the same subtle words to those persons in the face or are you a virtual cool dude who easily calls everyone "***ng idiot". :D

Two possible reasons as everywhere: 1) Laziness. 2) Absence of personal traits requied.

They work like a charm. :)

Hmm, seems we have confusion again on what TA "is". :) For me it's not simple modelling, it's trading based on practical observations made, which spot recurring behavior patterns of the market. And stop-loss is integral part of this approach, because when you observe the pattern, you also...

Yep... TA as we trade it may be "archaic" but it's actually more like comparing art to science. Which is more "archaic"? :) Discretionary TA is definitely very hard to replicate and/or backtest, but does it mean it's less effective than quant approach? I doubt it.

Oh I see... Such a honor for me. :)

This is just blah-blah and not the answer to my questions. You may fool someone into this pseudo-advanced talk about "hedging", but clearly not me. That's why guess you will never answer the question directly: what is the exposure of L EURUSD + SGBPUSD + SEURGBP. I know the answer, I am...

Let me guess, is that your wife? :)

Short-term behavior of most markets changed of course, but long-term fundamental factors are as actual as they were back when the books were written. I doubt they are going to change at all in an observable future, because whole economic paradigm is based upon them. BTW, what I liked is that...

Agree with you that some edges are very hard to replicate, though.

I agree that outright trading is basically trading market momentum (inertia), but there are options to manage trades. For example if we risk 5 and it moves 5 ITM, we can move stop to b/e and have no risk to initial capital anymore, but potentially unlimited upside. Having said that (for the...

Let's wait for Soros in this thread before discussing what he said, right now it's just us speaking here. :) I don't understand "hedging"? Fine. Point out one single mistake I committed when exposed your "hedging" as self-delusion. Write here in this thread that L EURUSD + S GBPUSD + S...

Point out one single mistake I committed when publicly exposed how your "hedging" stuff is completely delusional in the "junk science" thread. Openly say here that L EURUSD + SGBPUSD + SEURGBP =/= FLAT. Let's see how well YOU understand your own stuff. :D

Why 90%+ of overweight people stay overweight? Is it because physical exercises and healthy diet are "junk"? :p You answered your question yourself here by your post, which is classic: 1) Not doing your homework to understand even the basic principles of how markets work. Like your...

Oh, Bandler and Grinder were pioneers, things evolved so much since their times. :) Good to know you are interested in psychology and particularly NLP though. As for scientific approach, I hear you, but you should admit, that your approach contains high degree of emotions too, since you...
