Is it really an Edge?

  1. I know what is Random in practice.

    Random is when I place an order expecting a profit, I end up at a loss; when expecting a loss, I still end up at a loss. :confused: :mad:

    Actually, gerry's post has nothing to do with the way in which you're defining "random entry". He was, in fact, agreeing with a previous post of mine, if it's still there.

    As for the "impossible set of conditions", they are hardly impossible. Rather they define random selection, a basic principle of sound research design.

  5. My random thinking is most traders randomly would experience this kind of random events. :D

  6. I studied about 0.1 %, I guess, of Jack's stuff only. Didn't expect so much impact! :mad:

  7. Sorry OddTrader, glad you told me. I think I confused your name with one that's close to it. So you didn't catch the bug yet.

    Please forgive me.
