My definition of a prenup is: "give her everything but your system." As for IT and computer science people the saying is: give them everything on paper and they will never be able to design it or test it or operate it. It is very difficult to give anyone a system under any circumstances...

Very humorous IF... THEN.... If Surfer doesn't drop the ball on his challenge, then these very smart guys get to have, apparently, a new life experience. I've seen guys with 30 years experience who where officers on the floor have "the experience". You can bet your ass that after that...

What I have found is that people who do testing usually take quite a while to get up to speed on what they are testing. Surfer knows these people and knows their contract and reputation. They are going to be saticfying his challenge. I am the one who checks them out to see if they are...

Who cares? as far as I am concerned that is the point with PVT, SCT and sector rotation. anyone who wants to can choose to use it. Its used on a least 25 exchanges that we know of. some people use it others do not. If a person wnats to use it, he simply gets up to speed and becomes an...

These people do not want a trading system to test. They just test things like scripts. They have little capacity for handling systems. Surfer chose them because he is on that level of computer efforts. He wants these guys to be his third party in a challenge because he can't handle...

It has been clear that we come at the mechanical trading from different viewpoints. For me it is a good idea to know what you are doing. So I do. I agree that what I do doesn't fit at all with your efforts. You may not take on "news" trade for example. For me, every minute of RTH is a...

Your synopsis is great. I was just pointing out the fact that automated trading is running about 3 to 5 trades out. To do that, I posted a codeable example on a boolean level that is freshman level coding. You and I both see that it drew flies well enough this time to have the trading...

Be glad to. Have them contact me ASAP. You can do all the coordination and make sure that they have satisfactory info for the work they are going to be doing for you.

The rules are humorous. In the years to come there will be two changes that will broaden the market participation. One will be display platforms that allow people to see the markets and the second will be to have execution platforms that allow people to run sizable accounts where the...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from alex.samant: i would probably do fine reading the tape but i'd still have to draw price action on a piece of paper because the brain can't remember so many numbers.... the only simple reason i...

Could you exapnd on this? Do you mean the ratio of signals to bars as in 1 trade on average every 4 bars? [/B] what i failed to convey was a comparison of two traders. Here is an example from Las Vegas a few expos back. the CEO of Thinkorswim is trading the ES live in a session that may...

Actually, It doesn't turn out like you think ; it turns out like you think. Nitro in another thread gave a fighter pilot example. He was Stating the OODA model which Steenbarger advocated. In that thread I had previously cited OODA as a dead end. It doesn't turn out to be what you wrote...

When people do coding in a completely designed language it always produces the same result. This is a way of saying that the coding, by whoever does it, will be totally reliable. APL groups spend a lot of time assuring that what they produce, when complete, works with certainty.

The only reason I replied to you was the mathematical connection that you made between the market and your indicator. You figured out one aspect of the market that your indicator represents. This thread isn't going to have any purposeful yield simply because it will not be possible to buld...

I annotated part of your chart to illustrate a point. To design indicators or strategies based on market something or other, many people take on the job of doing inventions. Largely the orientation is to "discover" or compete or be right about something. There is another avenue that may...

The paper and the OP miss the point (regarding the introduced topic). And you can throw in the VQU piece too. The paper is to the right and above of the opportunity. And VQU shot a blank because of the period chosen and the absence of a connection in any way to the shift in econometrics...

You make a nice statement of iterative refinement (through a type of information sharing) leadng to better performance individually and collectively. I am often reminded to focus on batting rather than ball parks. what you suggest does deal with improving batting averages and that is a very...

Its always nice to see a humorous thread. Why discuss perfection and the Holy Grail? Why discuss whether a person chooses between being right or rich? Why can't people who think about these things get on with achieving excellence in knowledge and skills amd make every moment an...

SusanaDT, Spyder suggested that you use Price and volume. I agree. Since at this time you are focused on a particular point in time, take advantage of this by adding volume to your consideration. You (as well as silvermotion) do not recognize the difference between a retrace and a...
