Same methodology as far as I'm concerned. The difference is that DCA is for buy-and-holders, those who have faith their investment will eventually...
Are you kidding? It took me years --literally years-- to develop my current trading strategy. If you're ready to give up after mere months, then...
Some people have a death wish. It is often subconscious but you can see it in their actions that they hope to fail. I have never understood the...
Price Action (PA), as Handle described it, is one way to go. Another way is using technical indicators. Neither will be a cake walk. Either one...
Why not do it mathematically? For example, there are those who feel strongly that volatility should play a role in position sizing. Not me, I'm...
Kelly properly done doesn't blow up trading accounts.
Not the point. The trend is your friend precisely because it does make you money. What the OP is complaining about is something completely...
Just to clarify my first post: I never meant to imply that lag is a good thing or even an inconsequential thing. Too much lag is a very bad...
Lagging, schmagging. This is such a tired and lame canard. Guess what? All analysis is based on past data. Why? Because There Is Nothing...
Pick the stocks that give you the highest System Achievement Scores (SAS). SAS == 4*k*max[ 0, E ]*PF , where k is the Kelly fraction aka the...

Given that he's not teaching anything useful (i.e., an actual trading plan), I don't see the "something for nothing". It's more like nothing...
It's clear you're a discretionary trader. I can teach my mechanical system to a computer or a bright child and they'd both be successful. It's...
Here's what I don't get. In the OP you say some kind soul taught you how to trade and you're obligated to pay it forward. Well, why not just...
Optimal f and the Kelly Criterion Article by Ralph Vince begins on page 21. Optimal f is even more ridiculous than I believed. How this...
OP doesn't realize what it means to overbet the Kelly fraction. Better yet, here's the expectation when betting 60%: ((1 + .6*.03)^.98)*((1 -...
The new Kelly formula is Bayesian. http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/a-new-kelly-formula.291307/
The problem is in your game, the player has to risk everything to get something. That's not trading, that's gambling. The Kelly fraction for...
