Interesting question - I'm not quite sure how to answer it. When you look at a constant volume chart, it doesn't look noticeably different from...
There isn't a numerical value for R-squared that's "good enough": a strategy with a higher R-squared isn't necessarily better, per se, than one...
A chart on which the closing of each bar/candle and the opening of the next is defined not by the passage of a specified unit of time (as with...
That's mostly selection bias: the people who depended on it blew their accounts repeatedly and are no longer here to discuss it ... [IMG]
I saw the thread when it began, but that was late at night and I didn't quite feel up to effort of trying to write something coherent in English...
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes, because backtesting has always been very useful to me, even though past performance is undeniably not indicative of...
Please stop pasting in, unaccredited, sentences of text found on other websites and in other forums, and trying to pass them off as your own...
No; I decided against it: ticks don't distinguish between one-contract and 1,000-contract transactions. So to put it mildly it doesn't strike me...

Maybe it's "just my perspective", but it seems to me that posters in trading forums are actually attracted to failure, as can clearly be seen from...
Neither. It certainly isn't just you, partly for the reasons mentioned above, but equally certainly it's by no means universally true, because...
It can be very relevant, depending on various other parameters you didn't mention, such as R:R, trading frequency, etc. (R:R is perhaps the big...
It's certainly a well evidenced phenomenon of "forum life" that when a vendor's credentials are called into question, a brand new member...
No disrespect, but I think we kind of gathered that when you used the words "sort of Martingale stuff": it has absolutely nothing to do with that...
Honestly, can't you really, Bam123? I have no horse in this race at all, but surely you can see that people in a field with such a widespread...
@Turveyd: For what it's worth, if anything, I also think - from reading your Journal on and off over the months - that trading NQ intraday might...
Don't read too much into it ... it's one short test on a marketing page. The more people who take "tests" like that, the more people decide that...
