What is this crap about noise in the market? I keep hearing this crap from many morons, even professors, system developers, etc. Every transaction has two counterparties. There is no noise unless there is illegal action when someone buys or sells to himself or to his associates in order to manipulate the market in which case this is illegal activity. Market prices represent events with probability 1 and there is no noise, no randomness, nothing of this sort of thing. The markets are not stochastic either. They are not predictable because the dynamics change over time. That is not equivalent to stochastic or random. It is equivalent to lack of knowledge of the model.
Reality check: it is totally impossible to make 2 points/ticks (or whatever other size) every single day. This would be a positive edge with zero volatility, in other words a perpetual motion machine..
