Do you have any indication any of them do that? — Are you sure they even can do that?

Great points - thanks, hanover — @kingsurfer, I think you should differentiate your trading system from your money management, specifically position sizing. IMHO, various martingaling schemes are appropriate for only very few trading ...

contradictions — The fact that you haven't yet discovered a strategy that does not lose does not mean that one (or a thousand) does not exist. You don't need both more positive trades and smaller losses than wins (though that helps), but your ...

it is what it is — This is as real as it gets. What exactly do you mean by ? Who decides what the "right" direction is? Sure, the markets are very volatile these days. But we've had periods like this before, and in the grand scheme of things, ...

Soros wasn't merely "predicting" a fundamental event when he shorted GBP — he actually created that event, or at the very least put those last heavyweight straws on the poor camel's back. This kind of trading is not applicable to us ...

The USD is not exactly rallying in absolute value. — It is rallying relative to some other currencies. Whatever happens in/to the US has global consequences. Investors might interpret data, for example, as "the next crisis/recession." Will it ...

If you're going to be a scammer, why waste time and money at a university? OTOH, if you want to be a researcher, or a professor, for example, go get your degrees. I personally don't think you should "do trading almost all the the day"; one of the ...

I am not sure I understand what you're talking about: I am suggesting properly using statistics to evaluate trading systems, not coercing or even raping the theory to do some whacky pseudoscience. I have to say now I am intrigued. For me, an ...

logic, statistical significance and back/forward tests — I think we can probably agree that too many traders just throw indicators at their MT4 terminal, and try to see what sticks. Though that approach might sometimes work, its logic is [at ...

Why isn't the empirical logic of "history repeats itself" good enough? — Maybe because you sound like, None of you even know what you're doing, which naturally leads to, OK, pls enlighten us. The logic that many systems are based on ...

What equation exactly are you talking about? I am not aware of any equations in finance [or anywhere else for that matter] with so many variables. And before you say anything about some hypothetical equation, think what that exactly means: there is ...

Technical analysis works because history, to some extent, repeats itself — Patterns that were evident last year can be seen again this year, and patterns that appeared yesterday resurface today. You won't find a mathematical proof for this ...

I've just discovered this very useful and helpful gem — Thank you so much, David!

Honest, small spreads (using their BestDirect8, not MT4) - but the platform is outdated, not very user-friendly, and you can forget about charting. But if you have a good charting solution [I mainly use TradeStation], PFG is pretty good.

You are right of course: the results are different — This is due to different approaches to averaging, with Wilder's approach resembling an exponential moving average, and the latter obviously being a simple moving average. There is no "right" ...

According to the chart he posted last week — The M5 chart uses a 20-period RSI.

glad you added the option — Here is the difference: in the first case, you control the max number of whipsaws; in the second, it is your broker, through a margin call - but you won't easily know in advance exactly when. So overall, it is ...

But spot forex does not trade on an exchange — so what are you talking about?

Someone's got issues. I like the "High Probability Trading" watermark on the upper-right corner of the screen.

Thanks for the tip, I just did so myself. I shoulda done it before, but I hesitated because of what I went through with Forex.com: you have to "rebrand" i.e. open a new account, just for NT. Then you have to fund it of course. And then, surprise, ...
