hahaha, Humpy, hurrry i see the short bus has stopped for you at the stop sign. They will only wait for you another 3 minutes.,.,, Eddie
GLAD "we" finally see your problem - you wield blunt drawing instruments Apparently, your specialty is trying to stay inside the lines of your coloring books, and happily showing them to your mommy... You will be on ignore before your next vacuous post. That way, you can say one more meaningless retort, and think you won
Oh well as long as you Reps are happy with your Bushonomics - suits me. Not too far off from the onset of premature Alzheimers if you ask me.
Even with the basic beauty of math, mathematics which knows no opinion, creed, bias, opinions, affiliation to politics. That is the beauty of math, the universal language which can not be swayed or mis-understood once it is validated. ( nothing will ever change 4+4=8) Even in the concrete, simplistic understanding of mathematics, we still have people who cannot admit when they are wrong. ( humpy) This says so much about your future in trading and none of it is good. Bon Voygae Capernicus, EF
At least get your parting shot right Bon voyage Copernicus - Can't quite see the relevence of that, but no matter
we seem to be talking at cross purposes I am talking about 50% win/loss ratio of price whereas you seem to have got it round to 50% of the previous indicator. A simple mistake but oh what a difference Reasons for Dem loss 1.Wrong time of the month in Massa I expect. 2. Ran out of Kennedies. ( you reps got a nasty habit of murdering them )
Exactly the problem with trying to assist a lot of people here on ET. They ask a question. You help them by giving them a lucid and accurate answer in order to hopefully improve their profitability. They tell you that you are full shit and begin making snide comments all because they can not admit error. Humpty, continue doing what you are doing and good luck in your trading endeavors. You'll need it. Being closed minded on this site is the rule not the exception, sorry to say.
I prefer to be more optimistic about ET. I think those of us that post are the very tip of the iceberg. Most of ET consists of lurkers, who don't post because of the flamers and not wanting to look silly because they don't know what questions to ask. You have made quite the contribution on this site, as well as Acrary, Spyder, Jack Hershey, MarketSurfer, dbphoenix and a few others. Even Humpy I predict is quietly reviewing the multiplication of percentages and how it affect probability and consequently profitability.
I put your argument out on the web prof. Here is one reply:- The point is, the maths is wrong. If, by compounding 4 indicators in the way showed above you could reduce your success rate to just 12.96% then the answer would be simple: just do the opposite. The answer is not that simple because if it was you could easily achieve a positive win rate 87.04% by reversing the trades. btw never heard of a Constitutionalist - I thought they wrapped that one up in 1776 or thereabouts.
