Astrological Theory of Markets Cycles.

Forget your damn discussions. What's that going to PROVE?

You must have not read my prior posts. In a nutshell, I'm trying to show that this thread is full of fallacies, starting with the idea of astrology itself.

It's been proven already that the moon has no physical influence on human beings. Even if it had any effect on people, the financial markets including forex are more and more driven by automated strategies/algos and nobody seem to question that "small" issue, even the astrology believers themselves...

Lastly, since there are more inputs than the moon coming into the decision process, you cannot tell how much effect -if any- it has on the outcome.

He's FORWARD testing it in a public journal for all to see. Open to criticism

It's not open at all. Those who try to question the OP's trategies like me are insulted or ignored. It's as open to criticism as the chinese government with its citizens.

Quote from athlonmank8:

He's trading it and giving to have some REAL results here....Meanwhile, we're finding out first hand instead

Fine and the fact that it is all based on fallacies doesn't seem to worry you when interpreting the results. Let me put it this way : you don't understand that you don't know what you're testing so any conclusion will be wrong. Simple as that.

Get off his back and show some respect.

Quote from athlonmank8:


all you want to do is bitch and moan...Now shut your mouth and go somewhere else....Are you fucking stupid? ... and screwballs like you.

Think again about who is and who is not showing any respect here. I'm trying to have a discussion and all I get is insults. I understand that you're emotional (trading results?) but can you try and address my questions (which you avoid) and show me some respect at the same time?

Mr. Troll Lurefo,

In this thread the only person that is false and rude is you.

You do not know what you say, but you talk too much.

Lurefo......let me know when the book comes out on tape.

(I'm not reading all that.) I have better things to do

Why don't you two address my questions instead of continuously using personal attacks?

this thread eventually will. Just calm down and relax. I'm not going to sit here and have a debate. Why don't you just keep an open mind. Nothing works by itself. You need risk management. Plain and simple you're making unfair assumption....that astrology needs to be used in isolation.

Whether I believe in Astrology or not does not matter. I think that many traders can agree it is important to trade a directional bias.

Nobody really knows where the market will go...but when trading with a directional bias it makes your trading rules more clear...

Some use Fundementals...some use 100% TA...then there are other outlying methods used to pick a bias no matter how eccentric you may feel they are.

I suggest if there are trades posted based on the the theme of this thread that can prove over time that there is some sort of edge IN PICKING THE CORRECT DIRECTION....then this would be the beginning for further debate and/or consideration.

Readers...I am asking you for some tolerance...This will be a long thread (I hope).

This thread is a witch hunt.

Everywhere there are people who want to hunt witches.

Lufero in one hand takes the rope and on the other hand he carries the torch to burn the witch.

Human evil is always the same.

In 16 days there has been 4174 views to this thread. This is a fact.

Sury... your content is interesting and your time spent here is getting noticed. Let ET be the canvas for your art.

You have posted before in public and are well aware what to expect. This thread could be much worse.

There is one thing that is agreed here from my part...I have no faith in mankind.

You have chosen repeatedly to avoid any straight discussion about the subject by ignoring posters such as myself or using personal attacks.

Now you victimize yourself. Why can't you have a normal discussion?

Insults and name calling comes from the astrology believers, not from the doubters. Re-read my posts, I have kept my temper while you and the OP kept on calling me names. Obviously it's the one who refuses to enter the discussion who has a close mind. But let's put that behind now.

Regarding isolation, the fact is you cannot test an input (the moon phase) if you don't isolate it. It's one of things I've been trying to tell you since the start. There are other things put in the mix, techical analysis, etc... who knows what else.

I've said it many times, regardless of the strategy's outcome, it is impossible to know how much the moon thing weighs in the process until we've cleared that point.

I'm all for the experiment here and since it's supposed to be an educative thread, let's talk about the strategy rules... Can the OP, expand on the different inputs involved in the signal making process, how much weight for each, etc? then we can move on to an interesting discussion.

Boy oh boy.

Kindly consider that it is thanks to science, which all to often gets vilified, that that computer used to post the ideas exists and is powered. Science is right before your noses.

Applying the scientific method to subjects like astrology is not an attack but serves to ultimately help all, including the thread starter.

Peer review is very important. Without it you get unquestionable (un)truths, high priests, cults.

Be glad that there are scientifically minded peers who show interest, which is not at all to be expected.

If the method is based on facts then what is the problem? Shouldn't it be able to stand some scrutiny and questioning?
