A real edge hardly requires any testing

    I also do not understand tests.

    Test what ? Buy X when RSI is above 60, and the MACD shows a divergence during a Bollinger band overshoot...? it cannot be that easy.

    WHO said it was easy, even in an uptrending bull market??,?????
    Sure buy SPY, has made many millions+ for market makers+ specialists + investors.Its not easy; but doable.[ X is a underperformer for many years, even though when Andrew Carnegie built it+ sold it for $400, 000, 000, nice profit] Good work Andrew..................................................................................................................And its possible ,but not likely, any could do either with out tests. Good question Heyrich.

    Commodities appear to be waning right across the board, quite difficult these days profiting as an investor.

    Yes, I do hate to see someone who has no concept of analogies, allegories, or comparisons, it's very sad to have to go through life missing a concept that important. It's either a sign of someone pretty far out on the autism spectrum or someone being willfully ignorant because they're a jackass. Not certain which one you are so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that it's Asperger's, at which point there's just no good way to continue the conversation except to point out that you're missing a concept. Can lead a horse to water, but can't make him drink.....dammit, another one of those allegories:D

    A losing trader can do little to transform himself into a winning trader. A losing trader is not going to want to transform himself. That’s the kind of thing winning traders do.

    Read the thread. He acted as if not only unable to understand a series of examples but unable to even grasp what an example was. He was just being a jackass, like I said being on the spectrum would be a charitable read.
