HL camp exposed the program arbers to the public many moons ago. index arb has nothing to do with trend for the purpose of this discussion and only serves to obfusicate the real issue at hand. can anyone address nickel's query??
Once again, the question has been answered. The last honest inquiry was by Fred Blogs. Other than the incoherent ramblings of Mr. Rollins (and we can safely ignore them), no real acknowledgement that the question has been answered. Thats because the person who started this roller coaster up has no clue, and cannot recognize a valid answer. As I have pointed out, index arbitrage is a publicly available form of trading that is used quite often to obtain a result that fits the original description for "d" Also when index arbitrage takes place, what we are all seeing (those of us who actually trade) is trend (successive higher highs or lower lows). No requirement exists for the length of trend. From my point of view it speaks volumes that "Nickelscraper" cannot respond. Game Set Match.
So if all publicly available information is useless in forecasting price movement, I assume that Nickel doesn't use a chart or quote provider at all?
Lots and lots of people can. Systems that follow the outline suggested are all over the place and can be applied to either equities and/or commodities. Lets say the request involved three p's instead of just the two. All that changes is that the simple solutions of just using linear stuff got to one degree higher (like quadratics) or like adding the other basic market variable, V. There is no simpler way than two point single variable systems. Others have pointed out already that Nickel's class of solution is simplistic. It turns out all the solutions fit into a category deemed "trivial". Making money usually focuses on non trivial solutions. These things being the case, no one is going to respond to him in the manner he requests, mostly because of where he is at the moment. If he wanted to get past where he is, he would be thinking. Were he thinking, he would want to know why where he is stuck is not a good place.
Yes, that is correct. We have been carrying on a conversation with someone who by definition believes that you might as well flip a coin to determine when to buy or sell.

I have made no assertions (and therefore am under no burden to provide proof of anything), do my own work, draw my own conclusions, and feel no desire to share the fruits of my labor freely here. M
You do understand that one of the most difficult, critical, and sensitive steps in any mathematical endeavor is getting the definitions right, don't you? M
