Trading without a system is random gambling. "Discretionary" traders are using a subconscious system that they cannot quantify. Their brain is performing hundreds or thousands of calculations by looking at price and arriving at a decision of "based on what is happening, should I buy or...

Feel free to share some quantified $Tick strategies. As I said I was unable to make it work by applying the mechanical rules given in John Carter's book.

:confused:

I looked at $Tick after reading about it in John Carter's (I think that's his name) book. I didn't find it to be helpful or reliable. Maybe it's just me. Glad you deemed my thread worthy of making a post :D

Does this apply to futures or just stocks?

How could someone fake trading live in front of you? At any rate, I would be down for a screenshare event. Someone who trades this method share their screen so we can all watch, and talk (or at least type). It would all be in REAL TIME so it would be pretty cool. I'd even be forgiving...

how's the volume now? i havent logged on in two weeks. are they still untradeable?

Nice affiliate link, asshole. I'd say ban this guy but he was just spamming his site to try and make an affiliate commission. That's why he used tiny URL to disguise the affiliate ID in the URL. Mods delete this thread so no noob buys that shitty software that doesn't work and makes this...

How are you handling situations where price doesn't go in your favor? Do you have a set stoploss or are you averaging down?

so, what are you using for your mean? :D

How does one know ahead of time if price will go against them when they enter? In other words, when price gets x distance from your mean, how do you know at that moment if it's a good time to enter or not? And similarly, how do you know when it comes time to place the trade if the market...

am i correct then in understanding that you do not use a spline as your mean? what do you use as mean? it was my understanding that RTM systems required averaging down because otherwise if you only take one position, you run the risk of price going against you and then the mean going...

So do you enter when price gets a certain distance away from the spline? And does your system require averaging down when price does not immediately go in your favor?

Because the market is like a gigantic social douchebag. It's like the horrible music that you can't stand to listen to, yet it is popular. It's like the schmoozing asshole who you can detect is being fake, but everyone else seems fooled by his asshattery, and as a result you think that...

That's what I think! I have no problem following an established system of rules. I am psychologically comfortable riding a loser all the way to zero as long as the system has not given me an exit signal yet. My problem has been finding a system that is profitable enough to follow. It...

So do you enter when price gets a certain distance away from the spline? And does your system require averaging down when price does not immediately go in your favor?

MAESTRO already suggested that his "mean" is not a MA. My questions to MAESTRO are: 1) what are you using as your mean? 2) how do you know when price is about to revert? Is it a function of its distance from the mean? 3) does your RTM strategy involve averaging down?

bump for higher degree polynoms

You know I never got a check from Scottrade for the fractional shares. I have .1529 shares of KFT sitting in my Scottrade account right now that I can't do anything with. It sounds to me from that article and the .pdf on Altria's website that I'm supposed to take 23.84% of my original cash...

^ Thanks!!! I also found a discussion on fool.com with this link to a document on Altria's website, but your link is way shorter and easier to understand: http://altria.com/download/pdf/Stockholder_Tax_Basis_Information.pdf
