I can test trading in my head, no program needed

Hi, I am 26, been trading since 20

I have no need for programing and back testing anymore, if I have a trading idea I simply test it in my head

I've either lost it, or became superhuman due to thousands of hours of screen time.

anyone else out there being a trading "mage" :D
 
You should hang with the guys at the coffee shop in the desert, they know things about UFO's and the Great Pyramid too...

actually, I know what you're saying, I have lots of bad ideas and I always know they are bad before I pull up a chart... if you get any good ideas maybe you could pass them on to me btw... I could use them...

Tesla could actually do this :)

The short answer is that I can do the same thing but not to the extent of statistics but more to the effect of being able to tell you whether or not a system will actually work and why or why not.
 
I can tell that you're a problem solver and you're absolutely going to be a good trader; you can actually solve a problem in 5 seconds when others took days to obtain data and back testings. Good work.

C-kid's last trading ideas:

1) Short stocks with no alphabet in company name. Result: naa, wont work. All co's have at least one of the alphabet.

2) Long s&p when Bush ratings go higher. Result: naa, won't work. We know how those ratings have been.

3) Sell massive amount of strangles on last Monday of May." Go Away In May theory." Result: naa, won't work; that's usually Memorial Day.

:D :D :D

It's tough as hell when you have to deal with the market fluctuations and on a moody day you can't even tell which way it's going, given the best market direction.

I can also run the basics of my back-test criteria through my head, and usually do before I code something. However, for running more advanced tests with more extensive calculations, you'd most likely need software, or at the least, something to write on. Even a savant would have trouble running advanced system testing calculations strictly mentally.

If you can run your back-test mentally, chances are that you need to improve what you consider testing.
