So very true. Some claim random entries can be turned into a profitable system. In reality, they often test a huge number of different MM methods, and focus on a few of these that statistically looked positive. That is called "cherry picking" your back tests. If you do 100 samples of 100...

If it is "sick, embittered and psycho" to strongly debate trading with people who are spammers, who prey on newbies, who over simplify a very complex method (gee, $700 to $200,000 in 60+ days)." - and will lure a number of others to face blowup and bankruptcy, who replace "proof" with opinion...

You formulate a theory about supp/res, you put at least 500-1000 trades of different instruments over a long time period, and you see if something predictable happens. That is called "statistical validity/significance." Then, you pick a completely unrelated large set, and see if the theory...

this is a document, and is easily faked. Where is the link to the story on a semi-reputable news site?

It is painful to read newbie posts like this. This is what paper traders think and say.

I have seen this site quite a few times. Their systems are nothing impressive. Saturated ones are people throwing money at something who do not grasp that "past performance may not correlate to future performance". A number of those sold-out systems languished after that point. This site...

I googled the news and the web. I do not see anything like you say on the top few links. Link???

The only resemblance between your respons text, and "truth", is that they both inhabit the English-language domain. Other than that, you are a deeply-disturbed individual. You are now drifting in the direction of cold/c-kid/Jasonn...

A self-fulfilling prophecy does not necessarily mean anything. This is a continuously published belief, but where is the proof it is true? Where is the strong analysis that after testing thousands of trades on hundreds of different instruments at many different levels (S/R, which was your...

I almost thought you would be unable to grasp the irony...

Quote from sicktraderII: done this many times in public and in private. That doesn't seem to square with what u said earlier... But is almost seems your main focus, is to sell free icons...

it is believed 95% of new traders will manage to lose their money. But 100% of them start out thinking that will be someone else...

this is a personal decision. If you have a small account, and plan on trading a similar amount, it might be preferable to have a better financed account. There is a direct relationship between being undercapitalized and blowing out. If you plan to leverage yourself based on the amount in...
