    Day trading difficulties

    As usual, you have lost me. I have no idea what you are talking about. Good luck to you whatever you do.

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    This is nonsense. If it were true, why bother with 2x position size, why not go for 10x position size since you "know" you going to have mean reversion :p .

    Probability of Next Trade

    You're quoting high win rates and equating them with an edge, which is nonsensical.

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Why would you suddenly start making winning trades after 30 more losses than profits. Why couldn't you keep losing, in fact losing even more since you doubled your position size?

    smaller size makes you a better trader?

    Mav, if you are simulating trades allow for at least 50 trades and preferably 500 for a more robust sample. 25 is not enough.

    smaller size makes you a better trader?

    Quote from Visaria: The numbers are wrong. 1% risked and lost 50 times leaves you with about 60%. 2% risked leaves you with about 36%. I would advise no more than 0.5% per trade, which is what i use on position trades and something like 0.1% (or even less) on intraday trades. VB code...

    Intrade CEO dies on Mount Everest

    Climbing Everest (or any other mountain for that matter, i hear K2 is far more dangerous btw) does not appeal to me in the least. However, I admire, but not necessarily respect, others for doing it.

    Intrade CEO dies on Mount Everest

    Hmmm, so by being a CEO of Intrade, he was a lamb and by climbing Everest he was a tiger. Doesn't make any sense to me.
