I'm starting this thread to build all together a new system, based on going short/long in an overbought/oversold market. The idea came from a...
"...almost gambler mentality": it applies to me. "...measely strategy...": correct, because we don't realize we can build 20 of strategies and...
Naysayers that respectfully explain their objections are fine. Superficial people, who just criticize without explaining why, without...
Yeah, you don't have to reply forever - of course you have your work. Just like I don't have to go on talking forever, so maybe I will shut up,...
Now the strategy could work both ways, but let's worry about short, to make it more simple. How do I measure "go up too much"? In a simple...
Yes, 33. I don't want to say what I want to do, because I don't want to be disapproved or get the thread off topic (I want to do drugs, but...
Leveraged forex, just like me. And I, too, am developing other strategies now (have 33 now, but 7 of them don't work). Smoothing the equity curve,...
That is exactly the same answer I gave to Ed. In another thread, I told him I don't feel like trying new programs because I am working all day...

Well, my concept of "easy" is that I only worked on it for 12 years. I hope I am not in for any more surprises.
Yes, use time zones. Certain things happen at certain times. Also, as I said in another thread, there's a tendency of the markets to go up and...
Thank you, Wayne, for your great posts (this part I wrote after reading them). I am going to reply as I read them. Thanks for the in-depth...
Thanks to everyone for their great feedback. You see, Prof, I am not sorry to be so open and sincere - out of 20 replies I only had to put one guy...
Thanks. Also, consider that for some people like me, manual trading is impossible, because their emotions make them do the wrong things. When...
"Destined" doesn't make sense to me. I am atheist. God didn't help me with programming, which was the hardest part. Who "destined" me to anything?...
Thanks, Ed. Good luck to you, too. "People will not comprehend...". That's right, I agree, and that's why I speak freely, and I am not afraid...
