so now the new ET buzz word is "price drivers"? the same old people still trying to find the "TRUTH" after years and years and years and years and years of failure. You guys are hilarious
Programmed yes, automated no (as I've already told you once). I take every signal, whatever the market - don't worry about that.
TA is based on a proven flawed premise. No amount of crafting can reverse this fact proven again and again both academically, in real life, and by simple common sense. have you listened, yet?
have you compared random signals with your system signals? This is critical-- Please post the results of these comparison tests. thank you, surf
Why ask amateur questions. You can't achieve a Sharpe higher than 2 and no losing years with random signals. If you consider "working" to be just better than random then you've set the bar too low. All the results are in the P/L thread. I won't spend time re-posting stuff if you're too lazy to make 5 mouse clicks.
Logic man, save your breath. Surf is delusional. He's the type of trader on a desk who could get clobbered routinely, but yet tells other guys on the desk who are all profitable what they are doing is wrong. He's a very stubborn guy. Look at some of his trades from Surf journal I. Would take enormous hits on losing trades. One of those guys who would never admit when wrong.
"This is very subtle--- Price Drivers never fail for the reason you list. However, the calculations of them can fail, the way we weight them in the formula may fail. There are a dozen plus inputs, they all contribute to the way price moves, its the refining of these inputs that's not always accurate." but your price drivers is technical analysis. technical analysis is a methodology that makes buy and sell decisions using market statistics. http://www.investinganswers.com/financial-dictionary/technical-analysis/technical-analysis-1108 thats what you are doing surf, you are using market statistics.
