The word "apparently" is highly subjective & without evidence. Come on, a '98 veteran trader like you can make better judgement. What a disappointment.
I admit that. But not from you because you have no connection to trading. You are being silly. Commission and spread in ES is about 1/5 of a tick. It is not the commission that kills trading but the frequency of trading. If you trade once a week with 50% win rate and 2:1 reward:risk this is all you need to make a good profit. If you start trading too much too frequently you approach random. If the market is pure Brownian motion and your system makes Brownian trades with a drift (tries to trend follow), then this is how you are worse than random because you are introducing a drift where there is none. I am sure you do not understand what I'm talking about. The funny thing about people like you is that you think you know everything. It was Masters, one of Aronsonâss co-authors, who first explained the idea of a system that is worse than random in a seminal paper about MC simulations. Maybe you do not belong in a trading forum. Most people here are nice and knowledgeable. You are an exception. You are in the wrong place. The opposite of worse than random is not profitability. When people talk about "worse than random" they mean deterministic systems (algorithms) with ensemble statistics worse than those of random systems. It is that simple you silly thing.
not even sure if it`s ''he''.more likely something in the middle.i bet he(is it?) likes to be slapped!
Don't be angry, ok? We can be friends, right? I really don't mind being friends with the less intelligent species. I can teach you math & you can clown around & make me laugh.
