Hi TheStudent, could you elaborate on that? Thanks.
I think I'm going to abandon my own thread and look for more peaceful waters. As a newbie, I'm preferring to be issue-free and low key. Cheers all.
I think the most important probability is, of course, the final chance of success with a model. If a model has four trials, and is accurate with...
It's all good, I'm just here to learn about trading :) You're right, we were talking about different things. Your notation suggests to me...
I'd never ram something down other people's throats; to each his own. But I do think this is an appropriate thread to discuss statistics if...

sg20, it's funny you say that, because that's what I'm using, my own implementation of a nonparametric pattern matching algorithm. And it's...
You could be right of course, but I beg to differ. The only way a stock is unpredictable is if it is truly random. And it is a valid position in...
I'm hoping to be a zerfetzenTOR :p Sounds good, I'll stick to stocks for some time as I learn my way around. About longer term vs. shorter...
