Hi TEB, brought out another system now, have we? I have been on and off following FF and you strike me as one of the typical 'system-gurus'. If I didn't already know better, I would probably take the time to test the stuff you keep throwing in front ...

Are you referring when you say ..."their BS"... to my thread? If so, please explain to everyone here at which point I left out the notion of risk ? Secondly, your capitalization should not depend on our guess about the length of any unknown winning ...

Mr J, First of all, I am not arguing with you. I am merely stating my thoughts on the topic. Secondly, what is the point in talking about risk on its own without consideration of what you are going to take a risk for? Thirdly, you cannot choose ...

Mr. J - Risk should be relative to anticipated return. Or would you tell me that if trader A would risk 10 bucks (as trader B does) for a 5 buck reward (RR of 1:0.5) still have financially the same risk? I hope you are not going to take that bet. ...

True.

The overall DD situation is correct....but ...how can he have a smaller risk? If I risk 10 bucks to make 10 bucks, my risk is bigger than if I risk 10 bucks to make 20. Also, the question asks about whether the traders perform equally well based on ...

I would say that the trader with 1:2 RR is in a better statistical position since he only has to have winning trades just over 30% of the time to make money while the trader with a RR of 1:1 has to win more than 50% of the time to be profitable. H. ...

Yes you are correct: 60 trades with the same risk per unit. Trader A: Risk/Reward 1:1 ($50/$50) 15 losing trades x $50 = ($750) 45 winning trades x $50 = $2250 2250/750 = 3 (profit factor) $2250 - ($750) = $1500 Trader B: Risk/Reward 1:2 ($50/$100) ...

Trader A has earned more. H. Rearden

hahahahahahahaha....puhhh....no more...please...

One last word: You seem to live under the impression that good and qualified advice/help/input should be on a free basis while throwing in big phrases if someone like me reminds people of it. Don't forget that you are on the receiving end and some ...

I have not read the MIT paper, but they guys there are usually quite clued up. I also remember that it stated along the lines '...it can be done...' and not that everyone can definitely do it. If you are inclined not to include university research ...

They are not contradictory: I am not sure what your first language is, but the statement is a suggestion in structure - if you need an example of 'telling you' what to do, I will oblige. Whatever 'enhancement' you might extract from the discussion, ...

Look, I am not 'telling' you to produce anything - I can so far not see where this leads in terms of any tangible result. I guess there are 4 parties in the thread: 1) you as the OP 2) people with experience in the field of randomness 3) people like ...

This was your first post (and the title of your thread): Can you tell with naked eyes? I need help from experienced traders. I have generated random price movement and plot OHLC charts. I wonder if it is possible to distinguish them they are random ...

No. See that gap on the left of your chart? It happened after the euro zone on Sunday agreed to offer a rescue package to Greece. Gaps in FX do not happen in that size very often due to the 24h nature of the market (no open/close from Sunday to ...

Who's John Galt?

Excellent and precise points - I was under the assumption though that we are to look at charts (random or not) without having any reference points (time or price scale). Nevertheless I am with you on the sample differences. Now we should ask the OP ...

While I embrace your seeking for the truth in detail, I leave you with the rest of the participants do haggle over it. The OP's question has been answered in general now and my guess is that contacting the ARORA designers will yield the best answer ...

Yes, thanks - I have checked it out already. H. Rearden
