    So there is no better way to trade than take MA crosses with some money management?

  2. It is a simple m/a with no cross , a few simple rules and some well thought betting sequences is required.

    What suits an individual is really the only way to make money , somebody else's profitable method may lose money if others used it.Each trader's method is unique to them , so beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    So you admit it's not the method, but the trader?

  8. Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the study. My take away would be that computers make the best traders of all ( zero emotions)-- we are witnessing this with HFT.

    Much of HFT looks at the book to make decisions, not past price movement, it is proactive not reactive. Reactive is weak (TA). Proactive is strong (HFT). Look at the evidence.

    maybe not though... I am reading about bots fucking up left and right. so with that comes other problems, and costs huge money.

    perhaps you can throw some MA's on a 5min... but before you place a trade, make sure you get out the louisville slugger and smash yourself in the head a few times. seems like some of these people may have tried this already. like trading, this is risky.

    aim for the limbic cortex...
