Trading Times (Random) Tues-Fri ES emini S&P

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by CaroKann, May 26, 2003.

  1. I am not forgetting anything..

    Anyway, how is it not connected to the market? We need a definition of "connected to the market." If you mean the dice are not dependent on the market somehow, then you are right. If you mean the market cannot be viewed as random events, or there cannot be correlation (more specifically, coincidence) with random events, then I think you are wrong.

    I will run an automated backtest in a few weeks (maybe sooner too) with my times and Walther's times, and see what the results are.

  2. what i mean is .. dice are not going to tell you when the market will "turn". this is all so arbitrary. it's not going to work, not in a million years there's no good reason for it to work :-/

  3. Well, and now we know why it was not a clear cut call in Walther's scheme: because it was random as you proved... kidding :D

  4. Today's times worked out great for me.. anyone else? Comparisons to Walther's times? anyone?

  5. Frankly, I don't know why they worked so great for you, they were not so close in time to the points were I would consider taking any action. I mean, they were at least 15 min away from such points. Walter's calls were closer, within 5-10 min. Anything that is 15 min or more away should not count as a valid call, IMO.

    I am glad though to hear that they worked great for you. What this means is that if you decide to take just a few trades you can better focus and do not overtrade. That's very important. Overtrading is one of the main reasons traders deplete their capital so quickly.

  6. that you use a simulator to papertrade your calls and then report your results stating the reasons for taking your actions. Just papertrading without taking any action even on a simulator is of little value, IMO.

  8. Those were very good. You would have made money in each of these cases using my system in the 1 min timeframe. The entries were as close as 1-3 minutes from your times. Your method seems to have some potential...:)

  9. oh give me a break. there is no method. random dice throws is NOT a method you squireel. {{shaking head in absolute disbelief and fright}}

  10. 12:24 and 15:10 times worked well. 12:46 time wasn't bad either.

    once i get enough samples (a few weeks worth at least) i can start some comparisons.

    funny you should say that longshot.. i have been waiting for people to start telling me i have magic dice, and where can they get some, and can i make special rolls just for them.
