Canary in the mine market timing

Wow. I can see why you get in fights on here.

I asked your opinion of someone who you might know better than me. That is all.

As far as professional, I have owned seats on the cme and cbot. Trading and trading alone has been my sole source of income for the last 15 years. If that is not professional, I don't know what is.

You know the saying, when you meet one asshole, it is an unlucky day. When everyone you meet is an asshole, it is time to look in the mirror.

my response was not directly to you but in general - if you took it personal i didn't mean it that way.

i have the utmost respect for all professionals in the business of course this includes larry, i made shit tones of money when his secrets of a hedge fund manager come out. we traded much of his stuff right off the bat.
 
Of course you do because there are so many variations in a MA crossover strategy. You are quite an interesting chap. Sometimes you post some interesting stuff but sometimes pretty dumb stuff as well.

i will take two moving averages you specify and trade any market you specify and beat anyone else trading it. i can do this because i understand the logic and structure of the market, sometimes it's the driver that wins races.

Someone who touts moving average crossovers, which have been debunked as not working anymore, is not a professional. No matter what your feelings or opinions are.

MA's don't work any more?

That's a radical statement. What would be the cause of this?
 
I said MA crossover as lone strategy signals (as described in the link). A simple Google search will point you to multiple articles where crossovers have been extensively tested and found to not generate excess returns. Keep in mind that fancy entries or exit conditions are turning this into a completely different strategies. I talk about an always long/short strategy that triggers on MA crossovers.

it's like saying : I am a drunk driver spending time in prison for killing someone in a head on collision. So cars are dangerous and no one should be trying to drive cars because their so dangerous.

Just Google it I know it's the truth lol.
 
This must be one of the poorest comparisons of the entire year on this site.

Anyway, I find it laughable how some dude doctors Sharpe ratios on a blog fiddling with some of the most simplistic algorithms and is called a professional hedge fund manager. Add to that, that his entire test approach and methodology is flawed and at several points outright wrong. Feel free to worship anyone with bold claims, I myself prefer to first look under the hood.

actually it was quite good but then again i am in my left mind so of course we are polar opposites in thinking. difference is that i can accept your odd thinking but you can not accept my logical thoughts. sad
 
Yes sorry, your comparison made no sense at all (to me) and I pride myself with a solid ability of logical reasoning. Back to moving average crossovers :)
