The issue with this distinction is that any method which is well defined can easily be converted into an indicator. Thus all mechanical methods...
Having silver margin so low was what was out of the norm. The margin hikes were a return to normalcy and a very amusing kick in the nuts for some...
That realized vol chart shows the absurd bias of ZH - it's pretty clear that the averages are all lower than they have been the last few months -...
Technical analysis (as opposed to fundamental analysis) is simply market prediction based on previous/current price, volume and order book. As...
In other words, you could "hire" a speculator?

Yeah, it's a little baffling to me to talk about trading systems without optimized entries. You might be able to prove that your management/exit...
I appreciate the kind words. I always figured my biggest "meta-edge" if you will is being specific and precise about what I'm looking at. I...
