What are the rules of your trading system?

Quote from Zzoom:

I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but here is the core code for an EOD system that has worked quite well on ES recently...

if(QE)
{
JustBuy();
}

Nowadays, we're at:

if (QE) {
JustBuy();
}
else {
BuyEveryPutOptionAvailable();
}

What is CW please?

Approaching markets with sets of beliefs is not a good way to go.

If markets are counterintuitive then there are no dependent and independent variables present.

CW is Conventional Wisdom. It is a lot of beliefs founded on induction of data collections. Simpletons called quants do stuff to bet on market movement. They make 20 to 50 percent a year.

For expert traders the market operation is a system whereby the independent variable signals trigger the dependent variable trades. The public learns this in school at a young age and can't remembers how variables work by the time the greed for making money demands attention.

Volume leads price as expected by science and math but greedy people just look at price.

most people never see the market operation and so they waste a lot of time inventing a way to fail by loosing monay that have.

buy low/sell high
let winners run
never listen to opinion/stories/b*s*
stick to the plan.

So you're saying that volume is the independent variable that leads price ?

I am not sure that this is true. My observations do not indicate that volume is leading price. It goes against lots of literature and probably warrants more closer look especially that the dogma of volume leading price was established when market microstructure, technology, and number and type of participants was much different than today.

I think it's true to a certain extent. For example; some systems use particle filters and try to catch only small -badly priced- market orders. I think the relationship between price/volume also depends upon volatility/availability of hedges also.

What is "QE"?

Haha nice to see my thread is being utilized. I've come a long way with coding since I posted this.

In this market any claim (including outrageous one) is true to a certain extent because it will just happen that from time to time or for certain period of time it will "correlate" with market action.

Can anyone give examples of a set of rules they have tested, just for curiosity?

1st RULE: You do not talk about FIGHT CLUB.

2nd RULE: You DO NOT talk about FIGHT CLUB.
