Assessing the Profitability of All Possible Trading Strategies

According to wiki, his friend Max Brod ignored Kafka's wishes to do so. So thanks Max Brod.....whoever you are. Now that's just crazy talk Mr C...../tic :-)

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Thanks B. You know how to shut me up. All this pondering and not much doing.........but in the waiting time between doing, it doesn't hurt to let the mind wander a little. What is it about books that are so appealing....or is it just an escape from ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

I wish you well but I don't fancy your chances. The problem with random price series is that they hold no predictive power at all and it can be demonstrated statistically that a symmetrical trading strategy based on point change will tend towards 0 ...

Assessing the Profitability of All Possible Trading Strategies

It's a work in progress. I am not here to crystal ball gaze. Now pass me the plasma ball please B. :-) image

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Yep Pak, it certainly appears that way. I certainly get your point and I need to be very careful in my considerations. One of the biggest dillema's I face now is that given the alteration to the approach as detailed in post 191, my trade frequency ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Hi Pak. I hope the holidays are treating you well. I am imagining you in a cabin somewhere in NZ with a pipe and a trusty hound at your feet...and of course a port. I must admit this rationale flies in the face of Buffett's 'deep value investment ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Searching for Order in this Chaos I admit it, I am a nerd as you may have guessed but one of the benefits of my nerdy tendency is that I read a lot.....and I mean a lot....particularly in the fields of physics which therefore necessitates a ...

Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Thanks greatly JP for the update. There is a lot of sense to your trading style. I can see your approach is highly configured towards the outcomes of an announcement given the breakout intent but was wondering whether you have considered serial ...

Fundamental Trading with a Directional Bias

After dilly dallying with EURUSD for so long now and given the trend is screaming at me, I'm in .....(PS thanks to Bass). Less concerned about support at 1.164 and more interested that long term S/R associated with an M1 congestion pattern since ...

Trend Lines and Analysis

Don't let it get to you Matt. If it is any help, I had a shocker of a month last month. This is the time to get your rational brain working and defeat those demons. :-)

Trend Lines and Analysis

My sentiments exactly. I listen to my thoughts and try to disrupt any emotional bias...and that truly is a work in progress. That's where bots come in handy. If only they had the analytical power of the brain. Maybe not far off...... video

How do YOU stay in a winning trade?

It is really my only tool (aside from hints of a Donchian) and I have got to know it well. Anyway, thanks for the thread. Lots of great discussions in here. :-)

How do YOU stay in a winning trade?

Sounds logical Torrent. If it helps at all here is how I approach the level of breathing room required. I leave trade exit decisions to my standard deviation channel on H1 and prevent myself from interfering. It is working for me as an ongoing trade ...

How do YOU stay in a winning trade?

Interesting thread discussion. Thanks Torrent. What you may be experiencing is multi-timeframe dillema. This is a big problem for me as being a trend follower I was finding that I was having to take numerous bites at the cherry as my rules on my ...

How do YOU stay in a winning trade?

Pffft. Just chalk it up. I get heaps of those. I slept better last night after our chat. I have a pending short some distance away below S/R of 1.164 at 1.1575. Thanks B :-) PS..... Very impressive background B. I was blown away (but that's just ...

Exercises to help follow trading rules

Hehehe. I have a depressing read ahead of me which drives the point home in "Evidence-Based Technical Analysis" by David Aronson. You might need to give me a tissue as I think it is going to end in tears :-)

Exercises to help follow trading rules

I am yet to be lambasted by the efficient market hypothesis which is probably just around the corner but please give me my small moment of insane optimism :-)
