Nice examples! I've yet to find a knife worth catching. I've found some hot potatoes worth holding onto though.

It doesn't mean stop punishing criminals. But if what someone did wasn't a crime, what do you do then? Are they really worth blaming for the rest of your life, what purpose does it serve after a few decades and how will it affect yourself over time? Of course you get pissed off, but at what...

Exactly this! When doing R&D for new systems or potential improvements, costs and commissions should be the last thing on your mind. We're not even talking working trading software yet at such a stage, unless for those with very active profitable systems already, which are probably 1% of the 1%...

Any scam starts with an easy mark. If the mark is there, it'll almost suck the scam in. Sometimes people even fool themselves! Cheaters really do you a service. They make you more critical, stronger, and after a long time, wiser. Without them or the cheating, the world would be left more...

Firemen thrive on fires. Police thrive on crime. Doctors thrive on sickness. Discussions thrive on failure to communicate. There's not one middle path, but many. Everyone travelling their own path, interconnected with eachother.

I think he meant you need a perspective on the market in order to trade, flag being one reason to enter for some people (opinion). So you "would care about the prior pattern.." Others will just buy and sell in the now, based on other criterias, ie. ETFs will always buy and sell regardless of...

I like it too! We tend to bypass bar-bar analysis. For 2) is that different historical volume averages?

It's important not to overthink certain aspects of markets and trading. Flags work, until they don't, and then price can violently turn the other way around, or even peter out and slowly sneak by! Think of the markets as a slow EEG-meter. The patterns are self-similar, but the reasons and...

What's "flaw"? Movements on decreasing volume? Jun-Jul looks very readable if you wait for black bars and RTL BO. Good way to distinguish Dom / Non-Dom! Yesterday looks like may become BO of latest bear RTL on increasing volume.

This is a path of discovery and uncovering: Whatever issues you have with money yourself, will be peanuts compared with all the issues others might have! Quick advice: Just don't do it! Just don't.. Be brave. PS.: Also lost a "friend", when I "wouldn't" (read: couldn't) disclose any secret...

Nice chart! 2 year chart period provides a better perspective it seems. @stepan7 : Do your price/volume bar-colors help you interpret the chart? Been busy developing on new system. Seems markets are stuck in sideways development, which can still be bullish and reserves some energy for more...

It's actually the cheapest hurt feelings the free market can provide!

The "problem" here is classic: When finally being right in an "investment", what do you do? Without a trading/investment plan this is a tough problem! It'll be hard to be objective after such an event. Do he sell everything now? I did that with a stock that jumped (with gap) 100% on me once...

This is logical since Aroon uses Donchian channel (price MAX & MIN over a period). So by using Donchian directly you can make Aroon or any other derived indicator. Not sure how you can get better reading by Donchian channel alone though, but with different periods you can have different...

I can believe a one-liner can beat complexity (pattern + background). I also believe you can build on simplicity. What you shouldn't do however, is build on complexity. This is a main flaw of most developers, thinking their minds superior and above all that.

Beware scarcity mindset: There's infinite supply of currency. Think about it.. If we manage to stop destroying real value, humanity have a chance.

Maybe if you provided screenshots before and after, it would be easier to see what you're talking about? The latest bar may update intrabar (ie. by realtime data), which causes latest MACD value and other indicators to also update based on new information. So latest bar may change continuously...

Let's call it ML since AI can mean a bunch of things, or nothing at all. Linear regression is ML, so very doubtful any big institution are not using some form of ML. From Wikipedia: Machine learning is the subfield of computer science that, according to Arthur Samuel, gives "computers the...

Why not turn this into a learning opportunity, than taking a piss on other people?

The Pursuit has and is eating up most hours of my life for the past 7 years. When I began, a friend became angry when I couldn't ("wouldn't") share my secrets (I wish I had any!). Most people, at least those not "rich" even in good families, often have utterly piss-poor attitudes towards money...
