Feel free to do this in the trading forum, and as long as it's based on results and not stupid name calling, I will be fair and unbiased. I promise you, I have no affiliation to either of you guys. The problem is, I will guess, that you'll never get your buddy to stop with the incessant spamming.
Here is a similar runnning commentary condensation from a thread moved to chit chat by a moderator; see attachment.
I'm still open to keeping a forum under Strategy Trading exclusively focused to systems, code and technical discussions. I will remove everything unrelated. I recently extended this offer to Jack H. but he declined. I'm open to keeping it general, if there is an interest.
The attached was posted in the thread (As stated and cited) you subsequently moved to chit chat. Start with this attachment. The trading rules are in the middle in color. The Universe is posted frequently in the threads previously mentioned to you. Likewise, the Universe selection is coded using several different scripts for several different platforms that are available as alternatives for US and foreign exchanges. Previously, I have suggested in the thread you moved to chit chat that the Sidney exchange be included. The name of the system is PVT. The coding (you among others volunteered to do and post) to do PVT follows from the rules and the monitoring on a 30 minute fractal. Or if one wishes to simulate an employed trader who can only monitor EOD data in the evening after work, use that EOD type back test. This will serve two purposes: 1. To eradicate once and for all the prior posts on backtesting the PVT trading where the backtesting posted in your forum was not backtested by you to confirm its faults. 2. To show a complete backtesting code in whatever code is desired and to show that the code can be corrected to get a quality back test performed. Examples of the results of using this successfully in a forward test are already published, refered to and posted.
Great news Jack! I've set up the thread as previously committed. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1976324#post1976324 I suggest you copy the content above over (to keep your name associated with it). I have a couple of questions I'd like to understand: 1. could you please define the various terms in the table (column headers). 2. what's the underlying contract or stock you used (good starting point) 3. for me, I would benefit from a clearer description of the rules between the two graphs.
It would probably be tough to say. Maybe reread what you wrote that I took the time to respond to. Then, maybe, try to make a connection to what you said and what I posted. I look at ET very differently than you do. You happen to be on the ET team, it turns out. From the viewpoint of ET being a place to help others out, perhaps more focus on that would be most helpful. It is not helpful to suggest an emphasis which is one that is an alternative to learning. ET has other focuses in other forums. The trading forum, perhaps, could focus on trading. What, you may want to ask yourself, is that part of a trading forum that could be helpful in trading? Being helpful is not the only thing; thats for sure. There are many other things to do as well. It has not been my business to be making suggestions to moderators. You make suggestions to others. I happen to not agree with what you suggest.
You don't have to agree with anything I say. That's the beauty of the country we live in, isn't it? But trying to distance yourself in some esoteric mannerism by vaguely posting a document and referencing my commentary in quotations, and then cryptically telling me to go figure out what it is you're trying to say isn't going to make me eager to understand your point. Honestly, I could care less what point you have. I'm trying to manage one thing - and that is the spam and off-topic posting in the trading and forex forums. That is my one and only goal. You, your trading style, your thought process, goals, heck - your entire existance to me is black and white letters - end of story. I'm sure that's what I am to you as well. As long as what you do does not interfere with my job as moderator, knock yourself out.
And that wont happen while you have one sided censorship from glassy eyed cultist mods.. anyway.. this thread was worthwhile just to see our sanctimonious steve911 run like a schoolgirl when challenged
And it was nice to see Jack enter the debate and attempt his poorly understood NLP.. he's a master mesmerist.. heads up Jack, you don't have to start weaving your bullshit until someone asks for your track record.. or were you pre empting
