    read the book.

    Excellent.

    For me, confirmed what I suspected for a long time. I cant do profitable short term trading any more due to changes in market place and RR too low to bother.

    There are better ways these days - increase timeframe.

    Maybe one day when liquidity is back, say after getting HFT to play fair.

    did it worked? (increasing time frame). cause no matter how i've played wit it-it didn't change a thing for me. SSDD
    but i'm talking about hard coded system.not some random 'thoughts', about what to buy or sell, that pop up in the head..

    yes, it works. Signal discretionary, trade execution automated.

    my guess is NO FULLY hardcoded system with clear rules will work. Supercomputers will dig it out and replicate & destroy.

    So, one needs at least part to be scrambled.

    Unsurprisingly, that doesn't make a bit of sense. Sorry I disturbed your stupor.

  7. Really , you wait a month to reply to a post, and my comment escaped you? And you trade against supercomputers? Really?

    FYI...This book has been updated with 3 new interviews. Still a great book that I have read and reread 4 times as I always learn something new each time I read it. Highly recommended:
