  3. Oppss...I can´t even recall my login details...since the quant debacle last year and the year before, I didn´t want to bother anybody on the board with unpleasant and unwelcomed "critical" questions....six sigma events are simply "too random"

    :D

  5. Doesn't it imply that one can do both otherwise how will one effectively choose between them :confused:

  6. If one achieved success through discretionary trading, he/she may prefer discretionary over quantitative even though he/she never used quantitative trading method at all. And vice versa.

    This poll is just to see what most ET posters personally prefer and it does not try to determine which method is better.

    Before entry: All Discretionary

    After entry: All Quantitative

    I can't really answer your poll either way.

  10. I try to be both

    ( i.e. disc and quant )

    but in really simple terms

    lately ( esp the last two days )

    I just throw the rule book out the window
    and try to follow order flow and scent of the grizzly ol whale

    you know ... those whales are a smart bunch

    wish they had told me about their plan to knock ol "bling bling"

    down ( along with everything else )

    so they could buy a bunch of derivative "goods" @ firesale prices

    :p
