I'm not saying it's a drawback.. I'm just saying it isn't the edge you'd think it would be. If it were, then you'd see more geeks hawking trading systems and education manuals. Having said that, high frequency trading on Wall Street is the rage. But ...

Can "Being an Expert Developer" be an edge?

pipskeeter is spot on with r/r instead of w/l. It's a simple numbers game. If you dial in your method so that you're maintaining at least 2:1 reward/risk, you only need to be correct 40% of the time to make money over time. 33% of the time to just ...

I fail again and again and bite the dust

To be honest, most of the developers that I know that are traders can't trade worth a damn. And I"m saying that as a trader who became a developer. I've noticed that developers have a certain black/white way of approaching problems. "IF THIS THEN ...

Can "Being an Expert Developer" be an edge?

Why in the hell would you play a game with a 1:1 payout unless it's purely for entrainment... like a casino? This is why most traders are losers.

Question: Take another nearly 30% of your monthly income?

The explanations are in the posts. I won't divulge more than that. Sorry. No offense, but don't bother sending me your cycle work. I don't do well trading things that I haven't worked out for myself. I'm weird that way. I'll post the extensions of ...

A sneak peak of the latest method. Gann Square but based on a square root range and not a price range.

Cycle Trading

I think your approach was backwards. I can't speak for Matei without seeing a history of the method, but to forecast an outcome with out historical data is a pretty poor hypothesis no matter how you look at it and how pretty it might look on the ...

Cycle Trading

The original version of that Wilcock chapter is what got me into the esoteric side of things almost 10 years ago. I think he called his writings "Convergence" back then. He's also featured in the Ancient Aliens video series on the History Channel. ...

Coolio. I wonder where they got the idea for their Star of David? url

An inversion in your forecast? On one my daily euro chart cycles, the inversions have been frequent. So I watch every inversion point carefully.

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

Sure, why not. haha. Basically just find something that fits and then go back in history and see if it fits elsewhere. Usually if you find something that sticks, it will stick everywhere. This applies not just to to astro cycles, but any types of ...

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

mt4 can do it, but you need to lock in the chart scaling and keep note of what you locked it in at as time advances. Also, with mt4, the chart scaling in the existing price area is different than the empty space to the right. But it's workable and ...

That's a small fraction of what Cowan goes into. His basic premise is harmonic nested cycles. Which are easily observable with helio. I don't apply his specific cycles because they're very long and don't fit currencies as well. And yeah.. ...

4h Dollar Index bottomed at a division and division of price. So I waited for the 30 minute Euro to set up and shorted the shit out of it. Yay dollar index.

Gann Analysis

Pi in the Sky said 11-11-11 was a top so I shorted on Sunday. Reverted to using a Gann Square for the intraday timing and price levels.

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

Yes, I basically apply a period's length to a chart. Actually, I try and find a cycle length that describes a swing high/low or series of highs or series of lows. Then once I have that, I move it around the chart. Most of my heliocentric synodic ...

Planetary Cycles Trading (EUR/USD)

I rarely if ever show my astro work. But just for my little bumpa, here's a long term heliocentric synodic cycle on a weekly chart of the euro. Pretty much spot on catching some major tops and bottoms. image Then once, that primary cycle is a good ...
