Hank, try iwn like I said before. I posted a chart of trading the 34/8 ema of iwn earlier in this thread. Also, try...
Hank, is there a trading system that does not result in wildly disparate results of traders using it? As I said before, some securities trade...
So, it is well documented that trend trading works for some securities, right? And this has been documented over 10 years, right? I don't...
Questions: What securities did you backtest? What moving averages did you use? What time period? (last 3 months, last 12 months, 5yrs) What...
It's easy to see if a trend method works or not....just apply it to a security and see if you have consistent profits. If you're using moving...
OK, that's all I'll say on trend trading....looks like there are some folks that like it, some that hate it. Each to his own. There's a lot of...
Hank, the selection of a secuity to trend trade is not random. You have to look at the historical performance of a security applying your trend...
Thunderdog, yes, I knew you were agreeing with me and I thank you; I guess the post about verification was for those who may not have thought it...

NickelScalper: I think the best argument against random success was the return I got in 2002. It's the one I'm most proud of. The markets were...

If anybody's interested, here's one version of an Excel spreadsheet I was using a few years back to keep track of stock trading. As long as you...
NickelScalper: When you say trend trading doesn't work, and others (like me) say it does work, I think everybody's right and everybody's wrong....
Lefty, here's a composite equity curve trading three ETFs (EWO, IYR and IWN) using a combo of ema crossover, macd histogram crossover and...
Lefty, I have traded this fund for a couple years now. You have to watch your trades (min. hold time is 30 days.) I actually use a filtered...
Here's a chart showing trends do in fact exist and they can be traded successfully using simple techniques.
Jem, same here. Trend trading works well in my experience as long as you pick a security that's trending. And trending securities are easy to...
OK. Well, I'm here to increase my trading skills and learn something and share what I have freely with others. So, I'll just let you two go at it....
OK, Lefty and Nickel. Instead of dissing each other, why don't you let your strategies talk for themselves? I'll give give you an example of...
