lol a systemic approach which yields consistent results should not be considered unrealistic though. that's all i'm asking for. its either one of three things: 1) the holy grail exists (a CONSERVATIVE 10%-30% per year) and Greenspan and his ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

well this thread is about asking the question 'does a consistently profitable system exist?' and i defined what i consider profitable consistency. you're talking about drawdown now. well i don't know why anyone would accept losing 20%-50% or more of ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

yeah for sure, fair enough, i would tend to agree with you on those points. now it all comes down to how we agree to define consistency. i don't define consistency as 'well if we lose 10% this year then hopefully we'll make it up next year'. i ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

like i've said, if these people are producing consistent gains by industry standards and have a proven system which doesn't rely on luck, then they must be on their way to the wealth we all dream about. ridiculous wealth if you will, obscene 'how ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

interesting perspective. i think it comes down to the fact that you can't CONSISTENTLY predict patterns therefore they appear randomly and because of this it is easily arguable that the market, for all intents and purposes, is perceived as a random ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

these patterns are not predictable and because of this are only identifiable after they have occurred. how do these facts help you to make money? or can you somehow magically see the future and are therefore destined to make consistent gains ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

well put! but are you suggesting that there are ways to negate the market's randomness using higher timeframes? or are you just saying what Greenspan did, that the market makers are the only consistent winners whose profits are not based on luck?

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

no? with all due respect, how could it not be? if a system has no element of consistency then why the hell should it be traded? the fact is there has to be some sort of consistency. like you said the turtles' system was profitable 3 of 12 months - ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

ok so you're suggesting Greenspan didn't mean what he said and it is or might be possible to make consistent gains which aren't based on luck in this market. would it not be logical to assume you're taking this perspective because you believe that? ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

like i said, if you can make money consistently in this market you are on your way to making tens of millions or more during your career. congrats if this is the case!

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

it doesn't seem improbable to me that, with daily average turnover reaching 4 trillion or 4000 billion, that after 20 years or 19,200,000 BILLION dollars later, it would be possible to take out 50 billion. maybe you think this is too high? so let's ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

thanks for the reply. the problem is that if you have a consistent system (3% per month?) then you should be able to work with a fund worth billions of dollars. and then within 20 years you will be the richest person on earth. NOTHING WORKS ...

Greenspan and Currencies - Delusional?

here is a method for getting into a relatively low risk, high probability trade: -confirm higher TF trend with longer term MA and its slope -wait for Trix to signal in that direction -enter after Heiken Ashi pullback

Solid Trix Strategy - Need Help To Finish EA

hmm ok, thanks this is so weird. i did a visual mode backtest using these logics: if ((Close[0]-Open[0]>=3*Point && smTRIXup>0 && smTRIXdownPrevious==0 && iZeroAlphaUp>0.3 && iZeroAlphaUp5>0.3) || (Close[0]-Open[0]>=3*Point && smTRIXup>0 && ...

thanks very much for the reply. i really wish i understood what you meant. i'm not a very good programmer, i just wrote in the indis and buy and sell logics. any chance you could modify the code with your idea? Thanks!

no signals yet because Trix Up value has not reached 0.0001 on any of these bars. a signal is confirmed by a bullish candle of at least 3-5 pips.

hi TimeFreedom you're absolutely right. i wasn't specific enough in my previous post. what i meant was MediumSpringGreen. so this colour as well as RoyalBlue are what you should be seeing. so no problems with the original upload.
