Re: How the human processes information
Hi Eric, I agree with Ted 100%. I feel that Ted's statement is very forceful and it has positive, intentional language. He also takes ownership of his commitment and direction. I do not fight my emotions: I embrace them, and I see the positive intentions of my emotions. When I see the good message i...

If you did not adequately backtest your system, then you will not have true confidence in it; otherwise, you would not second-guess it. If you did do all the historical testing, then you might have some other issue that is making you override your system. I think the areas that I need to improve on ...

Hi Mickslam, I am currently helping the developers at IITM with their software called Know Your System (NOT A PLUG!). There are two major things that the simulator does: it evaluates your system over many trials so that you can see the different performance ranges, and it also can help you determine...

I think a system's performance is robust if you can vary the parameters across a broad range (e.g. 40 works really well, but so do 20, 30, 50, and 60.) In a similar way, if an indicator is good enough to be used partially, it is good enough to be included wholly and not just in part. Think about the...

My father bought shares when Microsoft did the IPO. He thought they were doing something really different, which matches their looks. Who knew? GROOVY and WOODSTOCK come to mind .. I guess my father likes people who look that way. I'm surrounded at work by people who look like that - maybe even wors...

bondtrader answered the randomization portion, so i'll answer the fundamental portion. There are two types of fundamental information. You can backtest something like: latest quarter p/e below 20 + 55 day breakout latest quarter price/book < 2 + 20 day breakout It's very hard to backtest something l...

I'm not sure if the vast majority of lower-limit players can be used as zombies to follow rules blindly. Most limit players (about 99%) do not have the patience to sit there and wait, which is a required discipline for trading (especially longer-term trend following systems.) It is more likely that ...

Damian, I have the same order symbols 24 hours a day. IB though does specify a difference between native and non-native stop limit orders (I forgot what that means though) between regular trading hours and the overnight sessions. I am wondering if that is the reason why my orders sometimes do not ge...

character type polls are up
There is a maximum to the amount of items I can put in a poll, so I separated between extroverts and introverts.

MODERATOR'S NOTE: This was subsequently merged into a single poll by Dan after he increased the number of items permitted in a poll.

It might be interesting to type the various traders, both famous and otherwise. Perhaps we should do a survey? There are plenty of online tests that don't take too long to complete.
