  1. That's wonderful.

    Are you ready to answer the challenge I put forward on page 64?

  2. I thought I did. If the 50 day moving average is above the day the trend is up and you go long. If it is below the trend is down and you go short. I guess I don't understand what you mean

  3. My 2 cents:

    A simple answer would be we don't have to define what's a trend, whether mathematically or not, in order to make profits in trading the financial markets. :confused:

  4. I am not able to predict the future so I am not able to come up with p1. I don't know of any person that is able to predict the future so I find your challenge perplexing. Maybe I should ask my magic eight ball

  6. I'm sorry. Did I type too fast for you?
    You asked, I answered. I can't help it you don't have the background to understand what I layed out. Is that my fault. No! Is it your fault? No! I can't answer biological questions and have no desire to do so either. If you have the desire . . . do the research to plug the holes you seem to have questions for. If the answers aren't inportant, don't say something doesn't exist unless you are prepared to prove it to YOURSELF!

  9. I agree. Why is it that people that don't Trend Trade think that Trend Traders "PREDICT" the Market action. It is further proof they have no clue what we do.

  10. if you decrease the number of future markets you tested, does it effect the end result ? for instance, 5, 10, 20 , 25 markets randomly selected.
