what boils my noodles

  1. Actually you'll be very profitable in the long run, once you put together the other piece(s) of the puzzle, like money management. Hell, you'll even be profitable even if you don't have the best money management.

    The problem with trading like this is, as has been previously stated, it's a KISS system and most guys who think they are smart love to outwit (or try to) the market. This I admit, is mainly a matter of ego gratification, which is fleeting at best.

    (Obviously) I've tried the opposite as well, and while I like the concept of being able to catch every turn, overtime, it's the trend followers on every level (intra-day, overnight), trading every financial instrument and/or commodity, who are going to generate the real wealth.

    Thanks for your thread, I just got reminded of the obvious.

  2. If you backtest over any considerable length of time, such as a few years, then you will find this to be untrue.

  6. No.

    I find that it works perfectly for me.

    Oh, right, you know what I'm using, right? :)

    Wrong.

    Nah, Barilla is not that great. I go for De Cecco and Voiello. Barilla is just okay.

  8. The only good Barilla cut is Spaghetti, De Cecco is top notch IMO.

    Absolutely. They also make good oil.
    It's not a coincidence if it's more expensive.

    Come on now, Barilla is quite decent. But I agree De Cecco is better...
