In terms of risk-adjusted return%, this year has been my second best to date. However, to make serious money I'd need to take much bigger risks, something that I neither wish, nor need, to do. So as long as I continue to make progress in the areas ...

8 Years Later - Still Not Winning

It seems that when I originally wrote the indicator, I must have intended for the width and style settings to apply only to lines and not for boxes; I can't recall why, it was a long time ago. Anyway, I have changed this now, and uploaded the ...

Daily Boxes/Lines indicator

I did something very similar when I was trading CFDs, and for the same reason. I'd buy the indices of the strongest performing industrial sectors on the (London) FTSE, and sell the indices of the weakest ones. But then in 2006 I got conned into ...

I don't know. It could depend on the br0ker, the available instruments, the MT4 version, or the version of this indicator that you're using (there are many of them floating around. I've attached the one that I use below). file The indicator uses ...

The attached indicator will plot (amongst other things) historical vertical lines, but only one future vertical line. The screenshot was produced using the settings shown (I've highlighted the changed settings in yellow). For more information please ...

Agree about the pluses and minuses, and of course that QA is totally viable, there are plenty of successful quants around!! FWIW I described my basic trading method here. It tends to change along with market conditions, and also as my ...

Qualitative vs quantitative analysis I will try to explain this using an analogy. Supposing I have two special coins, one which is biased to yield 'heads' 75% of the time, while the other is biased to yield 'tails' 75% of the time. I determine which ...

Agreed; my definition of a black swan is much the same as yours. However, for the sake of his experiment the OP defines a "black swan" as "One losing trade of 40-50 pips [that] will wipe out the account". FWIW I've edited my post to read 'your ...

The Black Swan Experiment

Without any market analysis, your mathematical expectancy is always zero minus costs, no matter what you do with the money in your account. Hence no one decision is objectively better than any other, and unless you can calculate the probability of ...

The Black Swan Experiment

You're paying unnecessary spread/commission to your br0ker, in certain situations. For example, consider the way that price behaved in your diagram in post #5. You would have made +20 pips on your buy and -10 on your sell, for a net +10, but you had ...

Need EA for simple profitable system

P4L, Many thanks for your amazingly comprehensive reply. I feel bad that you went to this much trouble because I didn't really consider this 'cosmetic' problem to be all that important, especially as this app is not that essential. Some years ago ...

Sorry, I didn't intend to continue replying, but just wanted to say that I definitely agree with you here -- at least it's been my experience to date -- and I'm pretty sure that the gent who ran the workshop would too. It's a case of achieving the ...

Many thanks for your kind comments, but the indicator simply is what it is. All strength indicators are lagging in that they gather the information from historical price data (more info here). Also, it is up to the trader as to whether he interprets ...

Pair Strength Analyzer indicator

You flatter me, LOL. We've had some great discussions, though. I'd be really interested to meet you some day! You've completely lost me with the 'Pepperstone' thing, however, but never mind. You're good at seeing things that I miss.

Hanover replies to PMs

No hard feelings, but I'm not interested in exchanging personal insults, so I'll simply leave you to your thread. Just want to end by saying that I'm not picking on you specifically, or accusing you of anything sinister. As we both know, this ...

Profitable Bank Trading System

Being new to institutional trading methods, I don't need to prove anything. And I'm not the person who claims to have the '100% guaranteed system'. You want me to post a performance curve? Which one would you like to see? The phony backtest, the ...
