Disliked{quote} Master, I'm talking about gathering statistical data to see which parameters are the most likely to give me an edge.Ignored
In other words: Can PAST statistical market data be applied to predict FUTURE market behaviour at all?
If yes, then all the big hedge funds and banks with the fastest Quantum computers, the best analytical software and with the world's best (and highest paid) PhD mathematicians and statisticians would be performing better than 30-50% per YEAR (i.e. 3-4% per month).
If that is the very best they can do, then what are the chances of a retail trader doing better with an "MT4 Optimizer" on a home PC...?
