hmm.no edges in the markets

Good luck, I hope you find something. My experience alone and with my group ( who test these types of things 1000's of times a year) have never found anything worthwhile looking in the direction of TA. surf

To hopeless trader.

this is what my prior post to you signifies regarding using the incorrect logical development in order to get the same wrong answers over and over.

having consistently wrong answers is not usually recognizable. the above poster and his team is celebrating not detecting statistically significance is changin markets and they rejoice because "nothing has changed for them" in a changing scene.

Look at what a comparison of their data with the the U of Chicago data would say. Tthese guys have a low correlation at two points:
2007 to 2008 and 2008 to 2009. Now it is 2013 and they are still fat and happy knowing nothing.

If you use your platform to run on all seven fractals and collect the sentiment curves, see how badly you do compared to a standard academic souce for sentiment.

We can see that there is turnover in HF's; you will see a very high coorolation between HF folding and wrong sentiment coding.

HF's fold because of OPM drain caused by ignorant OPM's. In ecology studies, "fragility" is a player. When cycles are not fulfillable, then the ecology fails. OPM drain is never put into HF strategic planning. WOM causes drain and unexpected insertions of capital. The root catlyst is what MS's team is doing. through his ignorant leadership , he cannot get sentiment correct and he has a house of cards as shown in ET.

If I see anyone on ET who has sentiment correct, hopeless trader, I'll let you know.

Yep, that's why price is golden. Nothing can be hidden in price chart, nothing.

Do you add the up coming price turn levels on the right side of your chart to the right of the forming bar?

TIA.

LOL
Nodoji, just curious, when was your last losing trade?

I usually have losing trades every day, but some days the PA is so "clean" and the market so forgiving, I can manage to get out of the duds at break even

Do you think Surf has nightmares in which moving averages chase him like venomous snakes?

I think he has nightmares where the YM is bid at the May high and offered 1 tick higher. He sees my hand on the mouse as I'm about to take the offer at the price it can't go. He's only a few meters away from me and has but to leap forward and tackle me to the floor before I do it, but suddenly it's as if he's trying to run through quicksand...

Hey Nitro,

Traders already doing such in forex, stocks and futures via "manage accounts" since the late 1990's (at least that's when I first heard about it). Thus, I'm not sure what you meant by the this sort of thing is starting to happen at many brokerages and it is very exciting. as if its new.

In fact, I remember ET's old crew popular members from early 2002 that talked a lot about such. Yet, oddly, I have not seen much discussion about such since the 2008 financial crisis...maybe there's a connection. Yet, once in awhile, you'll see someone in the Trade Journal section mention such involving trading money of friends and family via manage accounts.

All my prints are examples of MAT type trading. The limited POA was a one pager but in the last 6 months it has krept up to beiong 1 and 1/2 pages. so it goes.

Sure if you want to wait weeks or months on end for the perfect daily bar to form, go right ahead. Others of us use tactics that provide many more successful setups in the meantime with minimal risk (albeit smaller rewards). To each his own.

your comment reminds me of all of Atcheler's (SP) presentations. great things that never occur.

Quote from bwolinsky:

This attitude doesn't sound like a 2 decade trader, wrb. I have done 1 decade, and the times spent worrying about overnight trades are taken care of by stops which you haven't explored.

Everybody has their weakness.

I do Long term trades but they cause far too much stress for me. Never could figure out a way to psychologically manage them like I do in day trading. Yet, could be a family issue too. I didn't have that problem when I was single. I could put on an overnight trade when I was younger...go out party for the evening...come home and crash without a single thought about the trade. Those days are long gone.

I think he’s bordering between

gimmie…gimmie…gimmie

and

Since I can’t do it… no one else can either

Somewhat reminds me of RDT

When I was a noob, I use to have trading dreams almost every night. Glad that's in the rear view

The "since I can't do it" is probably influenced by his spouse attempting him to avoid the hours it took to get what I have, and that did include giving up my marriage.

Partially other personal circumstances and lack of mathematical creativity I think prevents surf from trading well. It's not that he doesn't know math, nobody's saying that at all, it's that if you want to make money, you have to take a risk, and, still, that doesn't prevent him from losing because it was risk worth taking, and I don't cry about it if I'm down anymore because if I had thought that what I was doing was hurting me, I wouldn't still be trading as QuantMaster or ahead as far as I am elsewhere.

Both sites where I'm featured have everything he claims isn't there, so I don't understand why there is no acknowledgement about that from him.

It was very convenient in the options section to point out the lack of performance early elsewhere, but now that model has subscribers with what I simply call excellent returns and I think that is about all that I can embellish.
