@Magna what does the subject of the thread got to do with technical analysis? Considering that the OP is well aware of the relation of the subject to risk management, but he chose the same old theme.
Why do my questions and studies bother you so much. Refute my conclusions with your own data but i doubt u have the wherewithal to do so. Otherwise u would.
Where is the actual study and why did YOU post it in the section that's got nothing to do with the subject?
Stops are not a crucial part of any TA based system? I have explained the study itself, what happened to it, and where it is published several times.
As you know, TA is forecasting future price performance based on historical performance. Stop placement is to do with risk management and ET had a section for risk management as you bloody well know. I will go and check out your study, hopefully it's not a link to someone else's research.
I propose to change the name of this thread: Marketsurfer vs I Know You Apparently everybody else lost interest...
It's from my old firm--- i was just a tiny cog in a big wheel. That is why this is titled "OUR" and not my.
