You're fired.

If the forward test equity profile has a reasonable match to that seen in the back test, it may be time to go live..... on a tight leash. It's all about the OOS

Thought experiment: The Market's job is to make transactions. It does this by moving price up and down in order to find where it can clear. When The State forces price level to stay in one place, what would be the result? :eek:

Ze latest action ....... Whipped around a bit and flat for the past few months, but doing what it was designed to. This bot makes huge money when the market gets wild, and goes thru mild DD's when things are more quiet. Moving average envelopes. :)

+++ And wiped out (!) his clients' accounts. Is there no shame? :eek:

Dud: Where to put the buy stop? Above the B wave is probably the most conservative trigger. I usually just look at how the price acts after the opening pop.

Successful launch:

.001 per share. This comes out to a dime per hundred shares traded. I've found that real fills are never this bad (stocks), but the effect is so negligible on the back test results that I never tweaked it further. Commissions are 10x higher.

Bow down and worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I have algos, but where is the fun in letting insects collect nickels and bring them back to the hive? It's so much more fun listening to the music of The Market and finding the hidden message. Discretionary trading a competitive sport. Great athletes don't just do it for the money.

Try again when you're sober..... unless, of course, you are permanently impaired.

Plenty of farm work in central Cali. White boyz don't want to go out in the fields....

Awesome thread. Thanks, real professionals for giving a business owner's perspective. I agree with EMG. Why cast pearls before swine? :eek: I think $50k would be a low price for all the instruction. It's all about higher education.......

Of course........ From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs (unless you are part of the Central Planner's Caste)

LMFAO Did you load up on silver @ $50, too? Stop hanging out at Zerohedge and you will stop taking it on the chin.

I'm definitely in pain toward the end of the ride, whether it is the daily 20 mile sprint or the weekly 40 mile cruise. But I'm no Lance Armstrong. He would power up several thousand feed in the California sun, every day, 100 miles or so, to stay in shape. :)

Plungers go bust.

Long distance cycler here. Something strange happens when I don't push as hard up the hills and into the headwinds, and just try to make myself comfortable, be in the moment, and relax. I go twice as far. The trading analog: cut size until it barely matters if you win or lose, and...
