What's your Trading System??

[pt199]

I have been spending several hours everyday reading everything related to getting laid, and one thing that puzzles me is this selfishness concerning people's hot young girlfriends. What is the problem with sharing and helping other people out? I am just starting in sexual activity and would appreciate someone sharing their hot wife or girlfriend that can generate 2-3 ejaculations a week. I guarantee you that if I had a woman of my own, I would not hesitate to share her. Now, wait a minute, I realized that one can not exactly duplicate anyone's pussy. And it is for this reason and the fact that we are talking about a world with billions and billions of men that I don't understand the reluctance to share a hot young girlfriend. I do want to thank all of you that take the time to service and fellate the members of this forum. Especially a frustrated, horny and freeloading newbie like me.

+1 LOL

+1,

but hey, the world if full of idiots who want to do it with your young girllfriend. Don't you get that feeling in restaurants or bars? Don't you spot some idiots who are looking at her like hungry animals. Even worse, when they start a conversation with you just to get to her and find out where she works so they can pay a visit?

Same story here...

200 ma cross has outperformed buy and hold by about 6% pa over the last 90 years (assuming you go short when prices crosses the 200 ma from above)

It is a proven, back tested methodology that produces profits well in excess of the risk free rate in the long run.

There are countless edges available but people have serious issues related to how their mums didn't love them or their uncle touched them up as a kid that prevents people from trading to make money. Most people are trading for other reasons.

There was a study that showed random entry, with random exit of random asset over random timeframes broke even before costs in the long run. Therefore, it concluded that most traders/investors hard work and effort at finding an edge/mindset/ studying TA or funnymentals had a negative effect on randomness. This is like saying someone who plays red/balck on roulette over 10,000 spins somehow ends up with 2,000 red and 8,000 black.

...interesting....

As for giving the systems away, you are absolutely right. I have no problem with that. I could put them in a full page ad in the New York times and nobody would follow them anyway. They would invent their own tweaks that eviscerate the system, or would find that my methods aren't psychologically comfortable or intuitive for them. I have told plenty of friends what I do, and none of one of them wants to do it.

This is my thought. As humans, anytime we get something with good principles, we have a natural tendency to not follow & try to change. It happens in religion, politics, and economics. So, if you did have "THE PERFECT SYSTEM" and posted here as your contribution to the world (maybe you're retiring, maybe its your way of giving back) then no one would believe you. So, I'm curious as to why people hold on to it, like its a secret. But I did see the brokerage firm argument which makes very good sense.

Wow. This is interesting! I'm interested in swing/position trading, so thank you for posting this.

This is my thought. And this accounts for the vast majority of people in the market. So, once people get this edge, their head is all f*ed up & they can't trade the plan.

Hmmm... interesting again. Almost as if we use our plan/indicators to shape our world & then we try to force the market to conform to our world. Its interesting that you say this. I was reading another post of a guy who said he let his 6 year old son trade his paper forex account and his son made 1 small loser, 1 scratch & 2 big winners.

Did he mention anything about the drawdown of this strategy? Trading is not just profits. It is also how many losses you can sustain before making a profit.

Why are you equating trading to roulette playing? Red/black is biased against you 2/38 times assuming 0 and 00. The odds against winning are 1.111... Thus, extected profit is negative.

In the markets, each time you win someone else or some others lose. Each time you lose some other(s) make money. There is no case where nobody wins like in the roulette red/black. This is your potential advantage if you have an edge relative to the other players. In the roulette, such an edge does not matter. It is you against the roulette, not the other players. Try to understand the difference.

You totally missed the point. Maybe I should have said coin flip and 2000 heads/ 8000 tails instead.

The point was that most traders cannot even achieve results as good as random because whatever they are 'doing' has such a huge negative expectancy.

I willing share my hindsight position trading method.
If it ain't going up don't buy it.
If it ain't going down don't sell it.
Occam's razor comes to mind.
Or as I put it."Keep It Damn Simple."
