Minimum buying power to meet this goal = $0.5m Better have deep pocketz or super-low drawdowns with leverage :eek:

Long term trend = UP Medium trend = UP Short term trend = UP Higher highs, higher lows MACD signal = Above MACD line Fast moving averages all above slow moving averages And moar suckerz fighting the tape..... :confused: What would a caveman do?

Win more money than you lose :eek:

Confessions of a paid shill: http://lunaticoutpost.com/Topic-I-Was-a-Paid-Internet-Shill-Ex-Troll-Speaks-Out :eek:

:eek: CB's going for broke. It's getting real.....

TA / Piker's perspective: Every major crash was preceded by an MA death cross Not every cross leads to death, but even a quant can agree that every trend death starts with one....... Is anyone seeing that now? :eek:

Actually - judging by all the shortists in here - the most cringeworthy trade possible is to go long The Bernanke, The Draghi, and all the other CB's (Japan and now Australia) who finally agree that austerity is not working....... :eek:

Price refuses to go down; all dips are being bought. I went long a bunch of small caps this morning. Gotta take a position when the tape says "going up" :eek:

Lol Sure is acting like a Bull Market right now. CB's are throwing down, at the present time. Free money?

The LORD does not require women to be covered from head to toe. His Apostle, yes Paul, gave the early Church two instructions on women: 1. She shall have long hair, the man shall not 2. She shall not speak in Church, she shall ask her husband at home How different our world would...

The oddz seem to suggest that the real "armed revolt" will be the pandemonium that will erupt the very hour EBT / SNAP, Welfare and Disability chex bounce..... The government isn't as stupid as the media will have you believe. They know the real threat is not "Winger Constitutionalists" or...

Trading Recipes by mechanica was the old school solution for years, but required some ability to write code (it was DOS based). There have been a couple threads about this, you may find them useful.

@ES is the continuous contract, made just for backtesting

I'd have to agree /\ Some of the best traders I've learned from were retired stock brokers. It might be a safe bet to find a way to work a day job involving finance / markets and trade on the side.

Ain't it funny how politicians (professional liars) always know how they would spend money ...... yet they have no idea how to make money? More proof we should have never given women the right to vote. Same exact behavior - Mom is real good at going shopping, weak when it comes to bringing...

Exact thing happened to me when I optimized the "price beetle" on one year of data. It instantly failed the forward test. :eek: :cool: If too many night clubz open in a small town, what would cause their business model to stop working?

Liberals get scrappy when Prezident Zero is called into question..... :eek:

Knowing what to use and what to optimize will come with experience. If anyone shows you their secret recipe, it is probably already obsolete or soon to be, depending on how many beginners try to use it in The Real Market. :) I just finished polishing this one off. This was based on...

Trend following has been my main approach, and some range algos have worked as well. One entry, no averaging in. Edit- what would I do differently? I'd get tradestation sooner in my career, trading stocks only (no options) until I really had an edge, but the overall approach would be the...

The built-in optimizer is definitely slow, but I don't use it with new ideas. I just manually play with the parameters for about an hour, doing backtests over 5 years (which take about 2 seconds on my laptop). This gives you great insight on the stability of the strategy. If its equity...
