No offence ASX but do you actually trade?

and if you do do you or have you made enough to lets say pay for a reasonable home?

All this and lots of educated head nodding---hear hear good point.

Anyone made a profit here?

Your a smart guy.

So is Howard and so are many others here.

Is it really necessary to have a degree in statistics to be successful?

My hunch is that some people (Not saying yourself or anyone here for that matter) get so tied up in the design and analysis that they question the validity of just about everything.

Complicate the crap out of everything and forget to actually TRADE.

Ive watched at least 10 attempts to design and trade a system here and on Reefcap.Other than Stevo and a very few others Ive seen failure after failure.Only 3 have logged their trading that I know of. None who have succeeded as far as I know are statistical graduates.

Its like a little snippet is found in one persons writings and another in anothers then a contradiction followed by a gem.

What the hell makes a good system.---I reckon I know and If I dont trade again in my entire life the market has been highly profitable for me.

I reckon its pretty easy.

Stock goes up get on it for as long as you can.

Turbo charge it with sensible leverage and re invest profit.

Cut losses short.

Keep out of stagnant stock.

Code a method that does that.

Test it and TRADE IT.

Sorry having a bit of a rant.

I'm frustrated that it "Appears" amazingly difficult to "Get it right".

I simply dont agree.
