Thanks for checking in, jjrvat!!! Check your PMs in about 5 minutes :D

Say you've got a moving average that's so fast it melts your face, but it's not the smoothest MA in the world? How do you smooth it? Here's my super fast MA after I smoothed it, but it could be smoother. It's the light blue one in this pic. The pink one is a 5 period EMA (OHLC/4), for...

Maybe paintbarfactory's Squeeze? I've talked to a few people who use it and would recommend it. Note that it's totally different from the TTM Squeeze (the bollinger band and keltner channel one) that everyone is familiar with. I think it's an oscillator as it oscillates about the 0 line.

Absolutely agree. I hate schools with the roided guys with huge egos. I've trained with roided guys who were humble, tho. They were cool.

I'll try to post some more vids later. My whole point for this thread was people should stop listening to people who don't have a proven track record of knowing what they're talking about. Or at least stop putting faith in what they say. If they're unable/unwilling to clarify for you...

What I meant was a 2 month MMA guy (muay thai and BJJ) could beat a 10 year Karate/TKD/kung fu/etc. guy.

K guys, here are some vids for you: No touch knockout guy who fights a real fighter. You can see in the beginning he is "knocking out" his students without touching them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEDaCIDvj6I Same fight from another angle...

I am literally walking out the door now. I absolutely promise I will post clips in this thread before midnight CST tonight (unless my Comcast connection stops working).

Truth. My MMA instructors were the most humble guys I've ever met.

Most champion fighters I know of don't even charge very much (a few do, and a few charge almost nothing, too). They know that teaching people won't affect what they do or what they know. I don't think anyone telling their profitable method would hurt anything. Even if it did, there are a...

Is that scaling? Was the last part of the last year super trendy and the first part super choppy and that's why it lost money at first?

Holy crap you have a 1205.25 point profit target!!!!!!!!! :eek: :D :D

I've been in martial arts circles almost my entire life. Here's a quick refresher. I'm sure you'll be able to drawl parallels to trading. If not, they're pointed out at the end. - Approx. 15+ years ago, there were tons of martial arts "masters" with their own schools (many of these...

Most futures traders trade indexes. So the only strategies that would work on the ES future would be ones that worked on SPY (the stock).

What am I missing here? Look at this chart? Yellow diagonal lines = long positions Magenta diagonal lines = short positions Look how many downward yellow lines there are and upward magenta lines there are! Was the backtesting period a giant uptrend? Unless I'm misinterpreting the...

I guess what I'm asking is how do these scripts deal with this because right now I don't see how this model could be profitable outside of very trendy markets. Even looking at the chart the OP provided us with, there are still instances of this happening all the time. What are said...

Why are futures "really shitty"? What about currency futures? Ok I promise I'm done asking questions in this thread for a while :D

Can't you block out your name? Or is it watermarked and huge so you can't edit it out?

Or here. I tried to draw the lines at the exact points of entry. BGH, I'm not trying to give you a hard time; I'm curious how this system does in periods of chop like this.

Big Game Hunter, What would your system do in a situation like this that I've circled, specifically the area highlighted by brackets? Looks like there would be a lot of entry, loss, reentry in other direction, loss, reentry in initial direction, loss, over and over. a) what happens...
