Fading a loser is not a worthwhile trading strategy. Losers are more random/unpredictable than anything,and is not something you can take the opposite on.

+1. Swiss banking secrecy allows people to hide or evade taxes, a Swiss bank (UBS) specialized in helping its wealthy US clients to get wealth out of the country withuot following the "declare anything over $10K" rule, and they get angry because the US is enforcing its tax laws??? so, the...

It also depends on WHICH 10 days. There is a huge diff between "I will predict starting on date X" vs. "During a 4 year period, I had a winning streak of 10 days."

Since the indexes are up a lot less than 100% in that time, I would say "most stocks."

yes, but if you understood the question, you would not have given a response that has nothing to do with it or the answer.

Sounds like tracer is the only one who should be excluded from a premium service

you ever work for one? If yes, you would understand. If not, the average trader and average IT person at a large institution blows away the average "trader" at home. By at least 10 to 1.

Indicators show what prices have done in the past. There are tens of thousands of instruments including forex, individual stocks/ETFs, eminis & futures, bonds and other financial instruments, around the world. The total trading in all the worlds' market is in the many trillions daily. I...

Hope you are planning a legitimate thread about whether systems last long. This last question looks more like you are sniffing around for ideas for your own trading. That seems a little dishonest... People with edges are NOT looking to give them away or to have a thread turn into a Q&A on...

Indicators get a bad rap because they usually fail to demonstrate any clear outperformance edge under exhaustive testing. They are usually used by people who BELIEVE they work, but have not made a concerted effort to PROVE they work. If they were reasonably profitable, then the mega-billion...

Companies cannot make employees rights like unemployment, or OSHA or workmen's comp go away at the stroke of a pen. These are govt regulations, they are not bargaining chips for the HR dept. Some companies that had a no-layoff policy years ago, were allowed to avoid some requirements. (Like...

Two problems: 1) There are already a number of rooms that offer live calls that don't work. why do we need another? 2) I highly doubt there are many people who want to pay $1200 a year just so they can post. All ET has to do, is channel all new aliases through a 1 cent payment via...

Woo Hoo. Now we are set. Not... Seriously, why does 1 occurrence have any relevance. Are the 500 CEOs' under the S&P looking at the .38 level, so they can in concert move their company's stocks so that the S&P does this???

the problem with most backtesting, is that most people do not sufficiently forward test it. and even if they do, they think that guarantees that it works. It is just an approach. You still have to go out there and make consistent good coin with it.

Not really, but if you could, the chances are probably 99% that the $500-$1000 would become something like $0. And the 1% is NOT that it would become $1 millon... but you are likely to be targeted soon by the 99%...

nice try, cold/c-kid. What is screwed up is someone with > 50 aliases, you know mental problem? Still embarrassing your family, I see... but neither is the case. And I would challenge you to so prove clearly and definitively.

I cannot believe that is legal. Every company of size is required to participate in UC. And I am sure it is withheld from the worker's pay in some way, even if paid by the company. I would file for UC anyway (after collecting severance and moving it out of the account they sent it to), and...
