The fear of trading edge becoming inefficient?

Of course he did and of course you have proof of this right? Oh wait, you dont :p

Actually, Jack's loss was -24% and he's admitted to it on ET.

Yeah you just "stare at the car wreck as you go by" LOL. More like you hound Jack, get banned, come back and hound Jack again, get banned...rinse and repeat.

You do a lot more than staring there buddy boy :p

Quote from bobloblaw:

Pfft.. none of these knobs are trading size so who cares?

As for Jack, nobody really argues with Jack, you just slow down and stare at the car wreck as you go by

Quote from nugundam:

-------------
I think part of an edge is being able to adapt to the markets so its very flexible, as someone stated earlier, it may be based on price action therefore theoretically you should be able to change the parameters on the fly as the market changes. To answer your question, I don't think you should fear that your edge won't work in the near future (unless your edge is based on something other than price action) but rather you should be confident you can adapt to all market conditions thereby changing your strategy or finding a new edge. In short, if your edge is not based on price action then possibly, yes, you may have something to fear as you might be too dependent on it. However, if you have an edge based on price action theoretically you should have nothing to fear. Dunno if that makes sense:)

I think your analysis above would be probably quite correct.

However price actions can mean all kind of things by different definitions and people.

Basically every system (and even every indicator) is based on price actions, therefore How to deal with price actions in the trading system would be the key issue for every trader.

How much leverage and/ or VaR to use for each trade perhaps is a useful indicator of the degree of (this kind of) fear one would have.

You never know. The thing you do is keep testing and trading. All the time moving forward.

Anyone with a real methodology and half a brain is not going say a word about it or it's psychology

Quote from OddTrader:

Have you ever had any experience (at any moment at all?) of the fear for worrying your trading edge would become inefficient in the near future?

What would you do to prepare for it?

How to overcome it, technically (such as starting a hedge fund) and/or psychologically?

Or do you think a true edge would never lose its efficiency forever?

Actually, I fell that the hybrid system will end my edge of tape reading skills, any advice on this :D
 
You are just so obsessed with this ficticious contest. I dont have a link because it never happened :p

If you have to lie for the old fart then it just proves what a fraud he is and how unprofitable you are

Or perhaps you have a link to his track record or even a few live calls :)
