Never Lose Again!! TheRumpledOne

Recommended Posts

Highly successful traders don't go around posting winning systems on trading forums dominated by those trying to become profitable, especially systems which show alleged golden entries all over the place with no stats to back up that it's an actual winning system.

 

The irony is that you're posting "cheese" to attract newbie traders into your own sort of trap.

 

Don't "think like a rat". Think like the person who set up the experiment in the first place and then you'll know what you're really dealing with.

steveh2009, this has some carry over from my posts on the Vendors, Vendors, Vendors thread, but it is perfectly ok for a vendor to leave the burden of ‘statistics’ to the consumer!

Plus - you, the consumer, sets the purchase price of his products and ideas …

Plus - No! He is not promoting the sale of services… He loathes servicing people and teaches that we really must learn to service ourselves.

 

I doubt you would be so quick to judge if you knew the sheer magnitude of high quality ‘re-usable’ code TRO has contributed to the trading community over the years. … probably more than anyone else on the planet!

I am not sure if quality is the word,

maybe you meant quantity ?

a lot of his codes were iterations of previous codes -- he kept on modifying them, changing them, curve fitting them, and calling them the new and improved wonder indicator. It's a moving target LOL.

I am not saying the codes have no educational value; you can learn a thing or two between the lines. But definitely not never lose again.

If we can't "bash" a vendor, it doesn't really make sense that we can praise them either - so I'm probably out of line here under the new laws :) but

 

...the amount of 'curvefitting', etc. is miniscule compared to the base quantity of quality projects TRO initiated and followed up with multiple rounds of timely fixes, improvements and enhancements (from requests and unsolicited), integrations, etc ..

:haha:I tell ya -It was frickn ADHD for a couple years there ...

so - whether measured by quanity or by quality - the body of work he contributed freely is probably the largest and best on the planet

 

That said...the sheer general uselessness of much of that code illustrates one of the points I was making over in the VVV thread - each vendor's market is actually only a tiny niche...ultimately no need to label / brand them at all

Please name ONE quality work he contributed that is a worthwhile mention?

 

I can't think of one name... and I am not looking for an enduring work like MACD, RSI, or Stochastic. I am just trying to find one quality name that is associated with him.

 

 

so - whether measured by quanity or by quality - the body of work he contributed freely is probably the largest and best on the planet

 

sure, the body of work is there... this is how he solicits donations -- to blanket the WWW with his enticing posts... the more he posts, the more "contribution" he makes... the more posts he makes, the more donations coming in. That's why he is banned from a number of forums -- he posts to solicit donation.

 

He then keeps on modifying the indies with little tweaks and calls them "New". Like the guy who posted his "Grail version 2.0" in another thread, if the original indie never lose any money, why do you need to have version 2.0 ?!?!?

btw, Tams, I was never talking innovations. I’m talking about functional, clean, reusable, quality code

… DynamicFibsSR is actually just another tiny niche…one has to know (of course, how, but much more importantly) when to use it…

useless to those not of that niche… just like some of the "enduring" uselessness -like “MACD, RSI, or Stochastic” etc ;)

1) Price within 20 pips of the daily low (ClLo < 20) - that is OPPORTUNITY

The important part is to enter WITHIN 20 pips of the daily low. The RAT REVERSAL is only one entry method.

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

Trading is GUESSING. If it wasn't, you wouldn't need a STOP LOSS.

 

THINK ABOUT IT!!

MAXIMUM RISK = 2% * ACCOUNT BALANCE.

 

STOP LOSS = 10 PIPS. (INCLUDING SPREAD)

 

POSITION SIZE = RISK / STOP LOSS.

1) To trade like a RAT is to ALWAYS trade in ONE DIRECTION - either LONG or SHORT. Once you pick a "team", you can't switch.

 

2) The "within 20 pips of the daily high/low" is the BEST possible entry to get the maximum run BUT the RAT REVERSAL entry works ANYWHERE on the chart.

I don't think there's any question that the win rate could be high. We all have eyes here.

 

But the only way to know if what you have been showing for years on end now is completely bogus or of actual value as a trading system is for you to open up an account at Zulutrade or Collective2 and show everyone that you can walk the walk.

 

It doesn't matter if you trade real money with these signals sent to the 3rd party or not. There are many who don't.

 

Given that you're this kind-hearted individual who has merely been showing newer traders 1000's upon 1000's of successful signals for over 3 years now out of the graciousness of your own heart in order to "rob the banks", it would be the last step in everyone's education, doubters and believers alike that you and your favorite systems are the real deal.

 

Besides, it would be far more profitable in the form of subscriptions and residuals than the donations and broker kickbacks you're getting now. No contest.

 

[Moderator: given the claims of TRO for 3+ years now on the web, I would mark this post as a helpful suggestion, not harrassment of a vendor as laid out in the "Vendors, Vendors, Vendors" forum recently. I would make the same suggestion to ElectronicLocal as well. What better education could we all receive than having these great educators show us their true metal through a 3rd party auditor?]

"Look, for example, at this elegant little experiment. A rat was put in a T-shaped maze with a few morsels of food placed on either the far right or left side of the enclosure. The placement of the food is randomly determined, but the dice is rigged: over the long run, the food was placed on the left side sixty per cent of the time. How did the rat respond? It quickly realized that the left side was more rewarding. As a result, it always went to the left, which resulted in a sixty percent success rate. The rat didn't strive for perfection. It didn't search for a Unified Theory of the T-shaped maze, or try to decipher the disorder. Instead, it accepted the inherent uncertainty of the reward and learned to settle for the best possible alternative.

 

The experiment was then repeated with Yale undergraduates. Unlike the rat, their swollen brains stubbornly searched for the elusive pattern that determined the placement of the reward. They made predictions and then tried to learn from their prediction errors. The problem was that there was nothing to predict: the randomness was real. Because the students refused to settle for a 60 percent success rate, they ended up with a 52 percent success rate. Although most of the students were convinced they were making progress towards identifying the underlying algorithm, they were actually being outsmarted by a rat."

 

P64 HOW WE DECIDE (italics added)

 

========================= ====================

 

"Now, 2 patterns of market behavior happen on a regular basis:

 

1) the price breaks to new high's (or low's)

 

2) the price reverses from new high's (or low's)

 

They happen regardless of time frame (with the obvious limitations explained above)

 

They are phenomena that can be exploited without the fear if found out by others, that they might cease to exist." - H. Rearden

 

=============================================

 

1) Price within 20 pips of the daily low (ClLo < 20): This is OPPORTUNITY

 

============================================

 

WHY ISN'T EVERYBODY DOING IT?

 

Most of you know I catch a lot of flak on my forums because SOME PEOPLE don't like the way I post.

 

One worn out argument that is used repeatedly is, "If this is so (simple, great, profitable, ), then why isn't everybody doing it?"

 

Simple answer is because SOYLENT GREEN is people!

 

We all know exercise is great, but how many actually exercise?

 

We all know smoking is bad, but how many do it anyway?

 

We all know which foods are bad for our health, but how many eat those foods?

 

We all know that we should save for our future and spend less than we earn but who does that?

 

The list is almost endless.

 

As long as there are people, there will always be some STUPID people and some smart people making STUPID decisions, where STUPID is defined as knowing better but acting otherwise.

 

Meanwhile, the RATS are still beating the Yale students.

NEVER LOSE AGAIN!!

 

My TREND INDICATOR - NEVER LOSE AGAIN!! thread was the most widely viewed thread in TradeStation history. I believe it still holds the record for the most number of views. I have decided to "revive" it again.

 

The bottom line is you don't have to end the day, week, month, or year in the red. You can be profitable. You may not win every trade but you will be profitable.

 

I know most of you have read about money management, risk management, position sizing, stops, etc... So then what are the reason(s) you are still losing? Is the market beating you? Are your stops being hunting? Or are you simply giving your money away?

 

When you enter the TRADING JUNGLE, you are up against the best traders in the world. They are smarter, faster, have more money, have better equipment, better access to information... better everything than you do! What makes you believe you can win? What "edge" are you bringing to the table that will allow you to take their money? Don't you know the game is "rigged" against you just like in Vegas?

 

What's the reason you see some currency pairs move over a 100 pips a day yet you're happy barely breaking even? What makes trading so difficult for you? What are you doing?

 

I know you have read about having a trading plan, haven't you? Do you have one? Come on, be honest... DO YOU REALLY HAVE A TRADING PLAN?

 

If you do, DO YOU REALLY TRADE ACCORDING TO YOUR PLAN? Come on now, it's time to FESS UP.

 

What about all those trading books, tapes, videos, and seminars? Ever wonder why there are so many? I just ONE had the answer, then wouldn't it go "viral" and everybody would be trading that method? THINK ABOUT IT.

 

What about all those indicators, EAs, blackboxes, trading signals and systems for sale? If one of them worked wouldn't it go "viral", too?

 

I have posted hundreds of FREE INDICATORS for TradeStation, eSignal and MetaTrader. Why? Because I can! I don't like seeing people pay hundreds and thousands of dollars for code, most of which, doesn't work or is way overpriced, IMHO. If you check me out, you'll see I have been banned from many forums. My FREE indicators are a THREAT to their cashflow. My free education materials also threaten their cashflow. Just do the math.

 

I have been accused of "renaming" indicators. Yes, I rename them AFTER I enhance them because if I post a modified version with the exact same name as the original then it gets "stepped on" and any good programmer knows better than to step on code. But I post my revised/enhanced/fixed version FOR FREE on the same site I downloaded them from. So where's the crime? Some people let their egos get in the way.

 

I have been accused of SPAMMING because I am an IB for MB Trading. Before I was an IB, I didn't even know what an IB was. The reason I am an IB was because when I found out that there is NO FIXED SPREAD in Forex, I immediately opened an account with EFX Group and posted about it everywhere I could. That had the effect of bringing EFX more customers. As a THANK YOU, they made me an IB. And it got me banned from sites that had FIXED SPREAD BROKERS as advertisers.

 

Whenever MONEY is involved, it is a DOG EAT DOG, EAT CAT TOO jungle. The sooner you learn that fact the better.

 

The goal of this thread is to show you how to NEVER LOSE AGAIN. Trading is simple. People traded long before there were computers and indicators. So why do you have so many computers and indicators?

 

Do you really know how the FOREX market operates? Or do you just know how to place an order? What have you gotten yourself into? THINK ABOUT IT!

Steve,

 

Just so you know...this "stuff" has been posted on dozens of boards over the past several years without one decent set of statistics on its viability as a trading system. It doesn't matter how frequently a system wins. What matters is achieving and maintaining a positive expectancy.

 

If the creator of the above system repeatedly pounds the table on how good it is for 2+ years yet will not divulge their own long-term statistics on trading it, well, would you be so excited on being the one to find out for yourself?

 

The better trading systems are counter-intuitive to what a more green trader wants. They typically have moderate to low winning pcts and that's not what newbies want to experience. They tend to have too high of an emotional response to losing so they're attracted to people yelling the loudest about how often their systems win.

 

Steve, take some time to research 30-40% winning systems which add to their positions when they're right. No one goes around advertising those. That's your big hint.

Honestly, I have to disagree here. Systems that lose more often than they win drain accounts. It's the death of a thousand cuts. I'd rather win most of the time, and have the confidence to put more money on the line, than have to suffer loss, after loss, after loss waitng for the big trade to not only make up for all that, dig me out of the hole, and hopefully add a bit of profit too.

 

One of the base premises of the Facts Trading is that we really can't predict the market. We have no way of knowing the future, and ultimately we don't know what we are doing. So it's better to wait for massive momentum to begin, and jump in while the market is already moving.

 

Obviously we want to get in as early as we can on a move, but it's important to jump on when the market is already doing something, rather than suffer repeated losses trying to "Predict" the next megga trend that will hopefully recover the last 20 loses and then some.

GREEN RAT REVERSAL TRADE

 

1) price within 20 pips of the daily low - that is OPPORTUNITY

 

2) red candle closes

 

3) green candle closes - note the high price of the green candle.

 

4) enter long at the green candle's high price

 

5) STOP LOSS IS 10 PIPS

 

6) Take whatever profit you can.

 

7) If the rules do not mention it, then it is of no concern.

1) Price within 20 pips of the daily low (ClLo < 20) - that is OPPORTUNITY

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

The important part is to enter WITHIN 20 pips of the daily low. The RAT REVERSAL is only one entry method.

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

Trading is GUESSING. If it wasn't, you wouldn't need a STOP LOSS.

 

THINK ABOUT IT!!

 

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

MAXIMUM RISK = 2% * ACCOUNT BALANCE.

 

STOP LOSS = 10 PIPS. (INCLUDING SPREAD)

 

POSITION SIZE = RISK / STOP LOSS.

 

<-------------------------------------------------------------------->

 

1) To trade like a RAT is to ALWAYS trade in ONE DIRECTION - either LONG or SHORT. Once you pick a "team", you can't switch.

 

2) The "within 20 pips of the daily high/low" is the BEST possible entry to get the maximum run BUT the RAT REVERSAL entry works ANYWHERE on the chart.

    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
