Anti-Jack Trading

Keep chanting your 'new conditions' mantra all you like, but it will not change the fact that you perform backtests specifically designed to fail.

Once again, I did nothing of the kind with respect to your delusional claims of obfuscation, and once again, you continue to avoid the real issue at hand. My analogy remains valid. You have attempted to prove a system working with the NASDAQ 100 doesn't work on the Dow 30. Since your 'tests' failed to perform on the Dow 30, you reached the conclusion it cannot work on the NASDAQ 100. Laughable at best.

Ever bother to think maybe the tests aren't valid because you tested the algorithm against stocks which do not cycle?

You keep attempting to provide 'proof' against the validity of a system that many people trade profitably, while claiming to only test parts of the whole system. In isolation? My ass. As far back as three years ago, you can find these same 'in isolation' tests posted throughout the internet (and even this web site). All provided positive results. The only person attempting to muddy the waters is you.

Now, for the second time, I'll extend the offer as I did previously. If you don't possess the intestinal fortitude to step up to the plate, fine by me. Simply decline the offer politely, and I'll be on my way. Making ridiculous claims against what I attempted to do doesn't serve any purpose worthy of continued debate.

He wont be missed.

 

Hypo your hit count is quite nice btw.

 

Thanks. Nice to have the A-Team here. You will see from my post to Dougcs that Alisa in Trading needs help with trading the FOMC announcement. I recommended Jack's method to her, and not having a pointer to it myself, I also sent her to you. An excellent opportunity for Jack or a surrogate to mentor.

BTW, whoever was behind Magosku is a cockroach like me. Stepping on one doesn't help much. That particular person, who BTW is totally unknown to me, has many aliases, infrequently used, here.

 

Hypo,

If this is you, fwiw: I've never met Jack nor have I been to Tucson-although I want to and visit the Sky Islands in the region.

As far as I know, there is no Jack, rather it is Spydertrader or Mak or one of the ET regulars, posing as a guru with a bad mullet.

Is the young lady coming FedEX?

Regards and good trading,

DS

 

No one ever bothered your equities journal Spydie.
Its the futures SCT thing with bar extreme reversals here.
When ya get a testable methodology for ES futures I'll take up your offer.

 

The real MAK has far more posts and IQ points than seven.

Sorry for the mis-ID, Doug. Jack's right hand man in Tucson is a Doug.

Jack is quite real. He is, as I am sure he regrets now, quite a public person.

 

I agree with Chicken. We only go for the cheap shots. Besides, Spydie is smarter than we are.

 

Thanks. I'll gladly offer my observations for review once I have had an opportunity to learn the rule set. I only recently started the education and papertrading process (with one lot live trades when I see a set up), and have yet to develop an understanding of all the vocabulary. What I have found to work (at least initially) is applying an equities template over the futures market. The same 'set ups' seen in equities appear with greater frequency, and of course, with higher velocity in the ES market. Time will tell if this initial observation proves correct over the long run.
