  1. all honesty, prof, is your system a trend system ? from my quick perusal it appears to be a channel system of some type, based on retracements and reversions.
    no ??

  2. it made decent profits over a 5 yr period max Drawdown was under 30% and sharpe ratio was about 1.5. Better than 90% of traders out there

  3. You are taking this as hostile . . . no wonder rational thought is hard for you to grasp. I'm only feeding to you what you are feeding to this thread . . .

  5. honestly, if they think that a trend following system can't produce profit, then good for them.

    being close minded is a precursor to failure

  6. No, it is strickly the reading of trends.

    Hank, you really don't understand. Your opinion doesn't matter. Nickel's opinion doesn't matter. And for that matter my opinion doesn't matter. But facts speak for themselves. You are a statistician and anyone with a math background knows what that allows you . . . a license to manipulate results under the guise of science. What I do is OBJECTIVE what you do is SUBJECTIVE. There is no candy coating either side of that debate as much as you try.

    Statisticians hate being boxed objectively and you are no different than any one in your field . . . which is a real shame. Safer to fall in line then to reach out and experience new things.

    I only have one alias that I use and can use... right now... (unless this alias gets banned again... in that case... I'm sure it'll resemble my old names... :D )

    ... I'll be honest... I have another alias... it's "nitro" ... LOL... j/k
