Can't say I get #7 (shorting the Ulcer index? Going contrarian at price/volume extremes? could be anything), but #3 just made a little light go on. I've been testing some theories I have around vol term structure recently, and... I'm just going to say that it was quite helpful, and thank you.
Number 7 was a joke, as my ET handle is MaximumPossibleSuffering. First I list several plausible positive expectation ideas, leaving the best one for last!
Hah! I thought it was the other way around... that you had magically figured out the MPS point for an arbitrarily-large number of traders, made millions shorting the hell out of their bolt for the exits, and named yourself after that success story. Maybe I have too active of an imagination. But I really like your list; it matches my own quite well. Especially thanks to the bump on #3, which I'd been struggling with - and for which you've just added a little bit of lube to the gears. Not too awful for a backtest, I'd say...
Thanks for creating this thread. It has stimulated my idea flow and has caused me to reexamine several strategies from a new perspective.
I thought Lazy Days was in Florida ... https://www.lazydays.com/locations/florida/tampa-florida/rv-resort I used to travel fulltime in a motorhome and visited Lazy Days. Was trading while traveling right up to September 2008 and then something happened ... it wasn't good.
I used to live in Florida. However, my “send $5.00 or a bottle of booze to...” was tongue-in-cheek. If someone were to comment they sent money or booze to the “address” I provided, My response would have been “We were trespassed by ‘Ye Olde Landfill’ and that a new address would be provided when known!
