Man, Amibroker looks so much easier than MetaTrader, which is the development platform I am using. It's lack of any simulation features but learning the ability to code such features allow me to be more flexible with different softwares / capability of transfering systems in the future.

 

 

This is also one of the reason why being "small" has an edge over large players because of the liquidity factors.

 

I tend view the entire market as a pond of liquid gold that spills some of its content out regularly due to inefficiency. A large player will try to capture all the spilling by the bucket load, while as smaller players, we can take the spilling by the droplets without upsetting the whole "scavenging" so much. And droplets might seem small, but can still remain a very lucrative business when the pond of liquid gold we are talking about are in the orders of trillion of dollars every day.

 

This would explain why certain simple systems may still work because it is not employed by the bucket boys who hire professional traders/IT geeks to develop quantum mechanic based alorgorim trading systems. (i.e. banks/large financial insituations)

 

My beliefs anyway. (and out of topic too, sorry)

 

By the way, love the discussion here, keep it going.
