There's an extraordinary amount of sharing going on around here, just look around at some of these threads. Yeah, while the exact details are kept covered, the general concepts are thrown back-and-foth like an afternoon's game of football. The thing is, when you take some of the ideas and add them on to your existing system(s)/trading parameters, you can make some real advancements in your trading! Regards, JJ
The Journal of Finance several years ago had a study that looked at several trading systems that had become public. The conclusion was that it took about 3 years for an 'edge' to become common enough for the edge to be lost. The Bond/Equities edge that helped Marty Schwartz gain large profits was gone in less than 3 years. LTCM ruled for about 3 years until others began to copy their approach.... Most (all?) of what is discussed on ET has long since been public and the edge, if any, is held by the individual, risk management, and infrastructure. Good luck
