    New approach for testing algorithmic trading strategies

    yea think of it this way when you optimize, greed would have you take the best setting. but if you back off the perfect setting you will make less money but you are hoping for better longevity. this seems to work for me now many decades. also it will make you build better models because you...

    can't respond to him "delirious" because he is dead to me on ignore like these other asswipes. you have to work really hard to get on this list stocks777 must have changed his name because he was also on this list he must be Buy1Sell2 or Scataphagos because of the shear volume of shit post.

    New approach for testing algorithmic trading strategies

    your are correct that is one of the faults of doing it this way and i also have had that problem. with the ndr platform you can pick from a quartile of settings, so like an Olympic judge you throw out the high and the lows and take the middle settings. Not perfect but it seems to work very well.

    I challenged someone to a trading contest and even offered to fund their trading account. I haven't been bothered too much since then so your idea does work. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ultimate-trading-contest-mark-brown-vs-jack-hershey-spydertrader.114638/

    it would be easier to study for two weeks and perform open heart surgery in your kitchen using a spork as your only tool. the first items you listed below are in direct conflict with one another. think of them as being on two opposing scale slides. the more you have of one the less you have...

    Malicious trolling and stalking

    Biggest un-policed troll ever is Stocks777 and in fact mods protected this guy. No took more abuse than I did, this is all caused by people hiding behind fake names.

    This is probably the most deep and complicated question I have ever been asked. Many discover existing edges from successful traders. They study, trust and tweak until they can call the edge their own. Examples of these edges are statistical arbitrage, modern portfolio theory, naked premium...

    Best Trading Book Ever?

    Lawrence Chan has done some amazing work both analytically and software programming not to mention any published works, I don't know many in the trading business that have such diverse abilities. As far as animosity to vendors that seem to preoccupy this cesspool of mentally unfit dreamers...
