"derived", lol. Yeah, go and play the markets with your prime numbers, fractals, " natural reoccurring support and resistance oscillations" , "constant (capped) volume bar charts" and "choppy idiosyncratic price moves". LOL, thanks for the good laugh, teacher!!!


Quote from ProfLogic:

Your intelligence is showing again. You can't even see those are derived from 7, a prime number? You can't curve fit objective rules putz. Of course you can't comprehend anything past an insult can you.

For me, stochastics (which I use in a very unique way) indicate when a trade will lead to maximum profits, so I guess I too am guilty of thinking they're a leading indicator. :cool:

The student with the lowest IQ is always the one laughing at the teacher.
 
Really? Did stochastics lead you to believe MEE was a good buy in mid-April? :eek:
Maybe there's something bad in the water in Tucson :p

What are the diversified portfolios that the big successful trend-following funds are trading?

Anybody has a list?

I would like to trade them...
 
Wonderful. I suggest writing a 50-page book with similar esoterica (and a lot of white space) and selling it through TradeWins. You can title it The Gazillionaire Next Door or something.

Quote from jack hershey:

mizhael and southall are posting from an inductive orientation. On the other hand proflogic is speaking from a reasoning point of view.

Until a trader or designer makes the shift from induction to deduction, he gets the consequences of non performance.

I certainly do NOT use induction nor do I use support and resistance to construct the reasoning factors. BUT I do use trend following as the basis of my paradigm.

As proflogic points out money is made when traversing from one boundary to another. This is often referred to "being on the correct side of the market". The test of this sentiment does require both market vbariables. As you see profitlogic uses the two variables of the market.

Those using induction are NOT using the two market variables. they are getting the consequences as they sate to us in thier posts. they have questions also. These questions originate as a consequence of not using more than one market variable.

As you see proflogic uses an up and down orientation.

I do not; I use a left/right orientation.

If a person uses principles to construct his system, then it works over all time periods. If a person uses data to construct his system, then it will not perform over time (that is to say, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't).

A shown by some posts, the systems of some people are not neutrally biased. As you see proflogic's system is neutrally biased. there is a definite requirement to be neutrally biased and to define all system components from a neutrally biased viewpoint.

I was joking...and I hope you were, too.

If not, however, I'll be in Chicago next week for a 3-day seminar on "Synthesizing the Hershey Method, Hershey Bars, Sacred Geometry and the Lost Secrets of Gann for Maximum Profit." Only $299 if you sign up by next Monday. :D
 
Quote from asiaprop:

run your current trend following system but start by reversing the leverage. You want to bet large when you are in the beginning stages of a trend, but with every subsequent move the probability of a rebound, no matter how pronounced, increases, so with each subsequent move you may want to reduce leverage. You partly miss out on some of the final breakdowns but this is anyway not the business I am in. I want to take a fairly large chunk on good leverage out of the principal move. Think about it and try to make those changes in your back test and see what you get. This is one of the basic ideas in my money and risk management building blocks which are part of my trending system.

Interesting... so in uptrending situation you will reduce your position size by a constant decaying factor every day (i.e. you reduce your position size every day if there are ups N days in a row)? And you will have another opposite factor in a downtrending situation. And you curve-fit these two parameters?
 
Quote from mizhael:

You said you are not that diversified...

Then how did you select your small pool of focused securities?

i didn't say i wasn't diversified... but unlike hedge funds that diversify over 60 markets i don't of course.

anyways i also use a "trendiness" filter by ranking the markets on trendiness for past 12 weeks

as for looking to what big trend following trade... it's a matter of downloading their prospectus... but they trade in like 50-60 markets
