Let's Try an Experiment

Recommended Posts

Have you read FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS, THE BLACK SWAN, or THE SIGNAL AND THE NOISE?

 

Your experiment will not prove a thing, IMHO.

 

How about flipping the coin ONCE for the entire experiment, heads go long, tails go short. Use the WEEKLY ATR of the EUR/USD for a stop loss and trade $.10 per pip.

 

Taking this far too seriously...

 

Flip the coin... dumb fcking stupid as this is... see how it turns out (won't prove a thing). Ya'll are way too serious.

Quoting myself... that sucks. Take the trade against the coin flip... that would be interesting. Best of good fortunes.

This is what we have so far:

 

Me Mon 7/22 (today) Heads/Buy

1 position = $1 a pip.

TP = 20

SL = 20

Position opened 09:30 EST

 

 

Optiontimer Tues 7/23 Tails/Sell

 

Glassonoin Wed 7/24 Heads/Buy

 

Jpennybags Thurs 7/25 Tails/Sell

 

Bluehorse Fri 7/26 Heads/Buy

 

Siuya Fri 8/2 Tails/Sell

 

 

If some of the spots are not filled, that's ok too. It's all random.

Anyone else wants to jump into an empty spot, jump away.

Take Profit @13204 10:00 EST.

 

I had the chart set to 1 minute, I did not see the trade close so I don't know if it closed on the 10: candle, or if it just rounded the time to the next 15 min of half hour.

 

Anyway, + 20 so far.

Tomorrow we will be doing Jpennybags Tails/short.

 

This is wild, 3 in a row so far. If we win tomorrow it will blow my mind.

My trading day is usually done by 09:30 so I have never really watched PA on a small TF at the NY open.

Some very interesting stuff going on. After this "experiment" we should talk about it.

Random can be humbling... we shall see how this turns out.

 

I once did an experiment were I traded from the left side of the screen... in a trending market everyone looks like a genius.

 

Sometimes we are our worst enemies... get the trade on, and manage the trade has become my philosophy.

:rofl:

 

Your comment reminded me of an interview that i saw on TV with a woman in the UK talking about the birth of the royal baby.

 

She expressed the opinion that she was "Amazed" that the child was a boy.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
