Yeah, but I believe that there are four types of markets (and many markets sometimes change their "type" for some period of time): 1) Trend market. It is more probable that any longer move of price will not stop, at least for some time. Trend following strategies will earn there. Portfolio...

You are right. :) First one was generated with normal distribution (but with the same standard deviation as EURUSD) and third one was generated with distribution of returns that EURUSD has (but distribution taken from longer period of time - 50k bars). Markets have at least four things that make the...

A,B,C,H looks like Forex chart. Long-tail distribution, some patterns visible. D has a long-tail distribution, it might be real, but there is something different about it. E might be random generated, looks like normal distribution generated, but it's not sure. About F I'm very unsure. G might be fo...

Did you tried your study against statistically significant amount of samples? We were trying to use moving fourier transform with some long window on EURUSD, USDJPY, DAX, CAC and GC time series, then use some part frequencies spectrum and inverse fourier transform to make a model for prediction of f...

Some of those indicator charts look reasonably, but only some (for example rainbow indicator could be useful for scalpers - to watch where the price goes on many time scopes without moving your eye out of minute bar scope). Most of them looks like noise-trading. Indicators are applied to make much n...

It isn't easy to connect IB and Metatrader workstation. You can for example use TWSLink (http://www.trade-commander.org/twslink/twslink.htm) and make own compilation with Metatrader API. Maybe there are some examples on the net, you should search. Or you can give a try TradeBullet (http://www.tradeb...

Trading is about making money. That's what the focus needs to be on. Yeah, probably you are right. Busting trading myths and giving that information for the public is probably counter-productive thing for a good trader. The more noise-traders or nonsense-strategy-traders the better the market is fo...

Trading myths and statistics

I have an idea - based on Discovery program "MythBusters" - to make a topic (or some area) on forum in which we would take up on popular trading ideas and would disprove (or prove) them - with use of math and statistic. What do you think about that? Or is there something like that present ...
