It performs logic operations but it does not provide any directly tangible benefit outside of it's specific contribution to the output of the entire system. It's value is intrinsic.

" 95% drawdown is entirely reasonable"

I agree, but it's not reasonable.

Yes all true. But you seem to forget that the world is actually controlled by lizard aliens, THEY are the masters of illumanati/banks/people who run and own the world.

Thank you. My programming skills aren't top-notch but it is nice to see the work already so... refined. If I had been here a decade ago I could've helped.

I envy that guy! When I was that age, the world was so much more interesting! Delusional thinking has it's place Ming. And who knows, maybe there really ARE Grey's, and Lizardmen, and the Bilderburgs, and all that.

Me, I am stuck managing inventory. It was so much more fun back then. All hours I spent learning to code the latest super indie that would let me pick exact tops and bottom of markets. I once had an alarm set for every five minute bar! Gann said things change on the full moon, so I learned astrology! Seduced a few women with that trick. Then it was.....well, you know the progression. So I really enjoy reading the posts on here!

The flag system as it stands is a joke. Utterly meaningless in terms of so called impact. The admin boys need to amend it, I've suggested in the past that a "Dan" type system that you find in karate for example should be adopted, ie levels of colours, and levels within the colours, how difficult can that be. At present, people are very misguided as it stands in my view.

A system is a set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method.
Entry, Exit, Etc.

Another integral part of Trading then is how to execute the system. That depends on You (I'm not talking about the company).

If you had a full time job and little time to trade..
- Would it then make sense to be a scalper? Or to place long-term trades?

If you like to gamble..
- Would it then make sense to bet big lots with high leverage? Or to learn how to trade within a defined risk parameter?

If you have very little funds you can afford to trade with..
- Would it then make sense to try to go all in in an effort to increase your bankroll?

If you have tons of cash which mean nothing to you..
- Would it then make sense to bet big lots? Or to trade 1:1 leverage?

If you're really good at coding..
- Would it then make sense to write an EA? Or would you learn more by trying to trade manually?

So when looking for a system, do you look for one that projects your personality by some magnitude, or do you look for something that makes yourself more well-rounded as a trader?

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." - Sun Tzu

I suppose you're right and it isn't 'reasonable'... not in any explainable way at least. I suppose it would be the unreasonableness of it that gives it it's value. It doesn't care whether or not you like it. It is precisely what it is.

I like your 'trafficker of information' description. It's pretty... descriptive. :-D

And I personally think the managing of inventory IS the fun part. The mental 'shuffle'... if you don't love doing it then why do you?

I do it because it is effortless to do. I don't dislike it, it has just become another garden to tend. What I enjoy is that many young bucks come here to trade SIZE! I trade 100 lots! Some do I am quite sure, but eventually that will end, and badly.
