leniod on super-profitability ......

"" There is no super-profitability in Forex also, not only in neural networks. Strictly speaking, neural networks are the same trading systems (hereinafter - TS). They only use a neuronet instead of common indicators. And then the most important facet is money management, i.e. the trader's "greed". ""

ilia on storms......

And to create a really efficient system we need years of work, observations, trials and errors. Success here can’t be taken by a storm. Market is a competitive environment and in order to earn one should invest more than others do – more time, effort or wit. Or, better, all this.

rosh on bench warmers......

And they all must be supervised by another expert that would allow ones to trade and others to "warm the bench" until a more reliable signal occurs.

A trend (correction: a strong trend) may be one of the most difficult market environments to trade. I think that between strong mark up or mark down stages and possibly distribution (volatile, sideways ranges) many traders will be tempted to chase and/or enter too aggressively in expectation of follow-through.

enivid on stoploss's......

It's a bad idea to base your stop-loss on your risk tolerance. Stop-loss is derived from a trading system, not money management, and you should base it on your technical analysis or fundamental analysis. Your position volume should be derived from the stop-loss.

I've been keeping my eye on this thread for some time and I too have a few posts and articles I would like to share. Here's the first one.

Quoting philmcgrew
Tim,

When evaluating potential systems I have found that you can often save yourself a lot of time by going straight to the scenarios where the system won't do well. If you can survive that period of drawdown then it warrants further investigation. Using this system as an example, I would go straight to a period of market chop (you won't have to look too hard) and test the system there. Be honest with yourself because the market won't overlook your biases. If a moving average crossover system can pass the choppy market test or can be...
If you don't risk, you don't ever have to lose.

the charmer on charts.......

Obviously in my business there are different flavors of the month... every other month. I have always kept abreast of all the T/A theories, new and old. I learned Candlestick charts at Nomura bank in 1987, then later Elliot Wave, Dow Theory, Market Profile, you name it. I have always returned to my favorite theory - KISS, Keep it Simple and Stupid. Charts are there to make us money, you shouldn't need a doctorate to understand them.

ben graham on the risks of following the crowd......

"Let me tell you the story of the oil prospector who met St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. When told his occupation, St. Peter said, “Oh, I’m really sorry. You seem to meet all the tests to get into heaven. But we’ve got a terrible problem. See that pen over there? That’s where we keep the oil prospectors waiting to get into heaven. And it’s filled—we haven’t got room for even one more.” The oil prospector thought for a minute and said, “Would you mind if I just said four words to those folks?” “I can’t see any harm in that,” said St. Pete. So the old-timer cupped his hands and yelled out, “Oil discovered in hell!” Immediately, the oil prospectors wrenched the lock off the door of the pen and out they flew, flapping their wings as hard as they could for the lower regions. “You know, that’s a pretty good trick,” St. Pete said. “Move in. The place is yours. You’ve got plenty of room.” The old fellow scratched his head and said, “No. If you don’t mind, I think I’ll go along with the rest of ’em. There may be some truth to that rumor after all."

Thank you for the link, Hayseed. Much appreciated. Thank you also for the ben graham warning...LOL.
Fortunately, being red and vertically challenged, i've never seen the sense in following the crowd, i have always fought my own battles, particularly with rumours. However, i've recently ( as of 2 hrs. ago) started getting into fundermentals. This process could alter my thinking re. rumours and T/A and i'll end up in hell trading commodities. Ah,well. Good to meet you.
BTW...do you reckon Jolly Roger has a sense of humour ?

If doubt or negative thoughts creep into

my mind when I dive off that platform, I am doomed. I have so many
tricks for eliminating the negative self-talk that the positive thinking

has become purely habit.

Experience indicates that many traders are unaware of the LIMITATIONS of technical indicators and
their applications. Most traders know the proper application of a particular method. However, most do
not know how to determine at what point a method is being used beyond its inherent capabilities. The
result of this is inaccurate and misleading trading information. Application of the Principle of

Coincidence is one method that helps to reduce this effect.

Good you've got a farm...could you rent me a field? Two small mares, 2 acres.
Thanks again for the links.
Real problem that i have is that JR is seriously political in his posts. I thought that under rule No. 2 that is not allowed.Further that he/she has not posted a chart or attempted any T/A or F/A analysis ( the latter only in a political and biased direction )

hey kaspopsicile...... hard politics does seem to wiggle into some of the posts on news......

tend to skim over all that...... and focus only what's important to me, ie the possible impact of the news.......

what does kinda annoy me is the contributers that post a headline and the link leads to a sign up page only........h
