Trend Following dying?

Oh my, we have a senile old man and a Aircraft mechanic now teaching trading in rooms??? Is the barrier for entry really that low in this business??

 

Nkhoi is right, I will leave the lame alone,
I guess they aggravate me more than anyone else.

Be a good boy and go have a nice glass of koolaid with nkhoi. Just about your speed

 

Ok, Here we go

You say you back tested Spyders walthlab code and didn’t get zip.
Spyder posted his results. Why didn’t your back test correlate with the actual posted results? What does that say about your back test abilities and what does that show about what you actually know. Mr. hot shot backtester. You back tested the culling process not the decision logarithm to buy or sell. Idiot! But you don’t know the difference.
You brought up the Harverd couple as if they were experts and that’s supposed to impress everyone. They put together a simple if-then on Jacks 5,13,6 on the 5min. You don’t know how they applied it, you don’t know if they came up with the phase angle and applied it to the inter fractal harmonics. You don’t know shit, and yet you set your self up as some half assed inquisitor.
Why do you give a shit what Hershey does or says? Why do you waste so much of your life on him. Are you in love with him. Is that it. Is this some kind of unrequited love thing. You expect everything handed to you on s silver platter because you are you and didn’t get it so you are stalking him. You and your girlfriends have been ragging on Jack on a pretty regular basis, what is it every 28 days? Split up the work load into 6 to 8 day cycles and put it to work making some money instead of wasting your time.

Who's really the idiot?

You contradicted yourself in your first two posts when you tried to showcase Jack's stock picks by ignoring his buy and sell dates as I showed here:

As for my backtest... I've said ad nauseum that the attached document is what I based it on. Specifically, I tested buying Jack's "0 to 7 turn" (per page 8 of THIS paper) on 1000 stocks from 2000 to 2005 -- a total of 5000 stock-years -- using spydertrader's code for the scoring and exiting 5 days later.

Do you see where it says "buy" at the "0 to 7 turn" on page 8? Show me where in this document it says anything about using any criteria other than the "0 to 7 turn" to buy. Show me where in this document it says anything about this being a "culling process."

 

The last 6+ pages of this thread have been the Hatfields and McCoys of ET again (the Hersheys and the T28s, as I like to call them)...

If that's all this is going to be, it'll be better off in chit chat.

Agreed! Jack's "method" is very near to going nuclear. Oh, and just to continue along the line of Jack's thought process, let we add just one word carefully selected from thousands of possible words: "shoehorn."

As I asked before, What is the reason your back test did not correlate with the posted results? Assuming you are not a screw-up, and that you have the skill necessary to construct a proper back test.

If something does not work why not offer your skill to analyze and help fix the problem. If everyone knows it, then you girls can finally take a break, a vacation or something.
