Logical sell on QQQ,[post 41] because of a lot of stuff; but 12-17-2019 was also, on QQQ including pay day some day............................................................................I see you used ES chart- but that is a different market.
Amazing; Investors Business Daily/Weekly found out a huge %% of subscribers did not even read his free gift book. Its one my favorites, but HOW did that old timer know/guess 20 years ago+/ '' new traders want to much ,with to little work??''

AS far as his elephant in a rising bathtub; great pattern this year but i seldom see that kind of rise, QQQ anyway= its lost a bit of volume since 2000-2002 bear.,

So far luck is the common denominator.

%%
A lady @ Shell oil gave me a huge number of free entries, in thier oil promotion contest. I guess that was legal anyway; i Won a free coffee, but thy get everything wholesale. So it really Was Win ,Win, Win for co + me. No such thing as luck, like the trend folloWer said- that is a small sample.
But gamblers have a big advantage[sarcasm], they get to trade too big/thrills /spills , or blow out+ blame it on luck. Good thing; when i ground my fir$t account down to nothing i knew it was not random/luck= far, far worse than random................................................................................................................ As far as a rabbit's foot being lucky= it never was for all the rabbits we killed,

Yeah, I was behaving smart ass as usual
However, being real this time, money brings power, with it one has more options than poor people.

There are definitely quantifiable edges in markets. For example, if you run a backtest in the SPY etf from 1993 to present, you will find that buying after 3 consecutive lower closes on the daily chart and holding 3 days, outperforms buying after 3 consecutive higher closes and holding 3 days. This is just one of numerous examples.

Very interesting, what is the best way to run these back tests?

Also if true why don't we all just do this and retire?

thank you for the post as well

...and I just wrote you off as some lazy bastard wanting to rationalize away not exercising, and eating Ben and Jerry's brownie fudge sundaes for breakfast.

Brief lesson Slick. Price can do three things, go up, go down and go sideways (relative to the time frame you are observing). If you understand price development, you have the POTENTIAL to trade, if you don't you can't. Who the fuck do you think codes the computers. You make a very valid point tho...be careful who you listen to.

ROFLMAO....ROFLMAO....ROFLMAO. AGREE..AGREE..AGREE. TA is dead ONLY if price stop going up, down, or sideways.
