Not so easy.

  1. Thank the stars... Someone else here with a mind... Since you're willing to give away so much at one time I guess I should be willing to tell that I meant vectorize those indicators when I said combine... Then you really will create your own indicators. You'll notice the difference...

  2. Also I hope that this site can go back to being useful again. Not to say it isn't now, but I use to bump into gold nuggets here more often than evey couple months...I hope to be part of the new reform...

    5:1 -> 2389
    10:1 -> 1195
    50:1 -> 239
    100:1 ->120

    (85/120)=70%

  5. I get what you're implying now... True if you were to take for instance just $1200 and place the $500 dollars you would need in 200:1 leverage for a $100,000 position you'd get back a 75% return... But me myself like I say I like to sleep at night so you wouldn't catch me ever putting up more than $50 on 200:1 in such an instance... I'm fortunate enough to have time on my side for me to not even care what I make today because hopefully I should be here tomorrow...I know the market will be... And I don't care how many neural nets, genetic solvers, and other math I use...

  6. Forgotten more about neural nets, genetic programming, rough sets (and a few other bits and pieces) than I care to remember.

    In the end those black boxes will bite you in the back, have been there, done that and never, ever again. When it is working you think it is the next best thing to sliced bread until you loose your shirt.

    In addition there are a few other things that you cannot do with the black box approach.

    I look forward to the day that that your system goes beserk. And you do not have to believe me but rest assured that it will happen.

    Why & what?

    Since you are so smart I'll leave that to yourself to figure out Mr Wiseguy

    :cool:

  7. Looks like the previous discussion should have been Two different and separate issues, the earlier one Building-up Size, whereas the later Generating Signals.

  8. Hahahaha you're a clown... For your info I learned all the underlying MATH behind neural nets and genetic algorithms... Truhtfully it surprises me how much BS they sell for thousands of dollars for something so simple, but to comfort you from thinking to hard I'd agree with you that not even nets or ga's are useful until you have an underlying system behind it... I think you should also check your Vital signs because you might want to check into what some of the boys fresh out of college could do to there trading accounts in comparison to yours... And I hate flaming so don't consider me as one...Even me and the Skalper have managed to get along these days...

  9. Hmmm is this directed towards me or just in general... Because I like to know before I think to hard...

  10. Besides the easy catch of 1,000 pips per week and special use of ADX being a leading indicator, etc., your question above would be something totally beyond the comprehension of some forex trading newbies like myself. Not so easy indeed!
