    anatomy of a backtest report

    I see these backtest reports all over the place, but I've never seen a publication that explains each line on a backtest report line by line. Does anyone know of a publication that has this info?

    INTJ trader's girl?

    Not unusual. The last category is less clear cut. My reading tends to flip between INFP and INFJ. And I think adaption to what work you do for a living may play a part. I wonder how successful NF traders trade? Or even if their are any?

    Myths of the Great Depressiion.

    http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/720542/posts Interesting article here. I recall seeing a biographical piece on Calvin Coolidge that mentioned his relationship with Hebert Hoover. Contrary to popular belief Hoover was not a laissez-faire business ideologist, but rather an...

    Float

    My 2 (very obvious) cents. You avoid low float stocks when going short because they are easier to squeeze because the supply of stock is low. You WANT low float stocks when going long for the same reason. The lack of supply pushes the price up qucker. Only you have to balance that...

    Osama is Alive

    I think the attack on Iraq IS part of the war on terrorism. I agree with the Secretary of War (oops, I mean Defense). The reason he disagrees with the other intelligence agencies about Saddam's connection to terrorism is not because he has any proof there's a connection, but because he KNOWS...

    Atkins diet

    Don't fall off the boat, Cath. :) Actually, I hate veggies. Another problem. Yup. After about three months I was ready to kill for just one single cheeto.:( And the Atkins chocolate bars only vaguely began to taste good after about four months. The Carb Solutions bars tasted...

    Atkins diet

    I tried it. Yeah, its works. But you get tired of eating meat most of the time. I found that only about one quarter of the items in a supermarket were available to me under the Atkins diet. And I heard somewhere recently that Atkins can cause serotonin depletion, which can cause depression...

    Please please help

    If you are not already using one, I suggest you get backtesting software. The cheapest one I of know of is Amibroker with Telechart 2000 data feed. Once you start playing around with trading system ideas (even if your specific system isn't programmable), and playing around with profit stop...

    How Big is your Ignore List?

    Alphie, I couldn't help (or escape) following your career here on ET. And as you have posted, I have had nagging feelings that you reminded me of someone, but could never seem to quite put my finger on who you reminded me of. Now, recently, after your post on renting a supercomputer, it...

    Real time short interest

    I would like to know that too, but my understanding is that short interest is only released once a month, around the 20th of the month or so. The exchanges consider it proprietary information, and only the specialists and market markers have that info real time. (Another one of their many...

    Works of fiction that contain metaphors for the trading life.

    What fiction have you read that reminds you of what trading is like? And I'm not talking about fiction that is specifically set in trading settings and about traders per se. For example. I recently finished a science-fiction paperback called Time Scout by Robert Asprin and Linda Evans...

    Toni Turners use of Tick and Trin.

    In "A Beginner's Guide to Day Trading Online", Toni Turner suggests using the Tick and Trin in combination with the following signals: Tick > +1000 - market is over bought and MAY pull back. Tick > 0 <1000 - go long. Tick < 0 >-1000 - go short. Tick < -1000 - market is oversold and MAY...

    Trading Systems

    I've used the basic Ptibull method. Since it gloms off of IBD's CANSLIM method, it only works in early bull markets. I looked at their shorting method and it was too much record keeping for me, and looked like it would only work in an early bear market.
