Admit it - your profits are based on luck

I reread my last post and detected a bit of cynacism. That was not the intent of my wording. Sorry.

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Facinating, thatwasme. So stepping away from PHD theory, how can these findings be applied to real world trading? I bet their models include volume and level 2 data not accessible in forex. And what about companies exchanging huge payroll checks ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Hello again. I will share the final component of the strategy. What I have presented to this point is excellent (IMHO) but still lacks protection. I suppose if you have money to burn, you can risk aggressively from the opening bell. But if your risk ...

My money management (advanced)

Hey Bemac! Let me weigh in my thoughts on trading. I believe that a set of trading rules will profit in one type of market, and fail in another. The key is to be able to withstand gigantic losing streaks when the "bad" markets appear. Then, compound ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

It really comes down to what school of thought you are in. Indeed, I see your point. Should the losing streak occur, you hinge your bets on your statistics that such a streak is improbable, surely will not continue, as statistics point that such ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

W/ regard to topher and billflet.... Suppose you had a streak like this: WWLLLLLLLWWWWW You stop trading after 3 losses, and begin trading after 2 wins..... so you realize WWLLLWWW But the streak could easily be WWLLLLLLLWWLLL So your realization ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Hey David. The truth of the matter is that nobody knows everything. I can't know if edges exist or not. The only one I am aware of are triangular arbitrage opportunities. To me, an edge is NOT A CHART PATTERN. An edge is something fundamental. In ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

I agree. You are showing us a week of good trades. Now where is the week on bad trades?

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Well I can't compete with Clock's wit. But this thread was not for being a crybaby and saying "I can't." Of course you CAN, with some help. My custom EA is trading a large account (over 10K) and obviously I think it could be profitable or I wouldn't ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

And what is ironic is that the exact same trader can be succeessful one year, and unsuccessful the next. It will be the market determining their success.... based on how she trends and her timing to trend breaks.

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

It is probability based if you can quantify your odds into percentages. And I don't see how you can place a percentage on a chart pattern. If you say "a daily pin bar on the daily EURUSD gives me an 85% success rate" what does that mean? Are you ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

You are learning that you don't control the market, and that you are getting lucky when you speculate. Clockwork, old friend, I'm sure you disagree.

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

Are you implying that somebody at FF can turn you from unprofitable to profitable?

Losing.....

I thought the same thing after all the hype on the "Admit it - profits are based on luck" thread... It was predictable.... he ran his mouth about how good he was, then he left the factory... (probably blew his first account)

Why was this thread not turned into a sticky? Honestly.

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

It doesn't have anything to do with his "habits." He followed his system with discipline and lost 25 times in a row. That means he was extremely unlucky or that his system didn't have an edge. My advise: Use common sense. If you lost 25 times in a ...

Losing.....

Well let's just forget about you for a minute. This is not an attack on your skills/background/motive it is a general statement. People can sell their junk EAs to clients with pure enthusiasm because they honestly believe they've got something. But ...
