Yeah, I totally disagree with the trend traders, but they have enuff respect to name check me in several books--- so go back into your cubicle, I think I heard your boss call.... :D
I have neither. Maybe I could share yours? :D
 
Quote from tobbe:

I'm just saying you've chosen to view the markets through one pair of glasses. There are others. One view does not necessarily invalidate another. You have proof there is no statistical edge in "trends", still there are profitable systems that thrive on exactly that which you say does not exist. Go figure :p .

Actually, there can't be. The underlying premise is fatally flawed--- those who make it are the lucky guessers and casino winners of the trading world. There are just as many losers, if not more, using the exact same trend system.
 
No thanks, I prefer anonymity. As I've said about 15 times before, which you, as usual, can't seem to ever remember.

Maybe that was under your other aliases?

If you don't have prop backing or leverage, your a pro retail trader--- one of a rare breed-- would like to interview you for chapter---how can my agent get in touch? Thanks. Surf
 
The OP is a hobby trader, so his opinions are unfounded. Just peripheral market "noise". :)

Not my opinion. Run the tests yourself, stats don't lie--- but if you prefer to keep banging you head on the wall as to why you are not making money, go right ahead--- I wonder why I even post here.
 
I have run my stats....12+ years and counting of profitability. You're right, stats don't lie!

I'm not sure why you continue to push this angle on those who have stats of their own that disagree with your so called "experts". Your behavior is baffling.

What part of "objective, mechanical, profitable" did you not get? Everyone using the exact same system will have almost the same results. It has nothing to do with guessing or gambling.

Since you mentioned the turtle guy - do you think the "turtle system" was based on a fatally flawed premise too? Or did trend following work once but not anymore? Just wondering.

The only one I've noticed doing any such thing - is YOU.

It's still kind of interesting when someone tells you that what you know is true isn't so. Like "no, that's not green, it's red". Curious as to why.
