    Obviously ...

    You are the one who said money can buy you good health, which is 100% BS.

    They must be absolute morons paying 20K for algorithms that only have optimised backtest results.

    Of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most.

  3. Hello p0box4,

    I love your response.

    Questions for you please:

    1. What is wrong with investing in optimized backtest results?
    2. You do not use the optimization function in your back testing algos?

    No one in their right mind would spent 20K on an algorithm that only has optimised backtest results.

    Even someone with half a brain knows demo results aren't realistic, especially when it comes to trading big size in thin markets like NQ.

    Late to the party and didn't read every post but the guy saying not to take a loss on an index is mostly right. He's not daytrading. Indexes are always culling the herd...losers get tossed and new winners added. Over time the market has always gone up. You should always have some longs.

    What's the point of responding and responding and responding to a admitted simple mind at all?

    Not swing trading either. Long term HODL investing is what this is.

    You do know what HODL stands for, right? Hold On for Dear Life.

    How come there is no "F" in HODL
    Sometime you just have to get the F out of there! :)
