market statistics- add your findings

forker · Nov 22, 2008

hey there traders

Do you have some interesting statistics you have discovered? maybe detailed analysis of market moves which you have actually done the work and found something interesting!

Everyone here talks about systems, psychology,and all the other mumbo jumbo that goes with trading.. I think it would be very interesting to see peoples studies if any of you have actually done such a thing!
Maybe you have tracked different setups and found that some work only a certain time of day or not on mondays, maybe you have found fib retracements x,y,z are a more common occurance, or perhaps you have found when a particular market moves it travels on average x pips before it rests..
This is all interesting stuff which not enough people do. i have statistics on my trading based on setups but i am going to start studying other things for interest sake and if i find somehting useful ill let you all know.. please add your findings...
i ask just one thing though... no bull5hitters please only guys who have actually done the graft over at least a few months upwards.:smart:

actually theres a very simple way to do this,

1.) find a newbie and ask him/her to trade. if he/she is consistently losing thats great. you tell him/her will pay em just for losing.

2.) without their notice, you ask another person secretly monitor the loser's trade and trade exactly the opposite.

3.) profit!

Trading in the opposite direction to a losing trader will not guarantee that you will do any better.

I doubt anybody who's done some serious research would be willing to share their findings with every trader on the net. Look, if through my research I found a way to consistently identify with 95% accuracy all major reversals intra day, do you think I should share that info with everyone? Would anyone share that info here?

pls share your research here, you dont have to worry its gonna be end of trading because not all people will follow your strategy neither the people will have common strategy, the world just doesnt work that way. therefore by having this multiple types of belief and different view, thats what create opportunities in the market too.

you want some example? this guy revealed everything, claims to be profitable, no such thing as losses and still have people wouldnt follow and occasionally get mocked..

the point of the thread is about all statistics not just trying to identify reversals. besides even if you found a way to identify a reversal 95% of the time its not going to change the world. there are many very successful traders out there that have shared their knowledge but the success rate of people following suit is not very high..if it were that simple everyone would be winners

it is interesting how not many traders even bother with this sort of stuff. how many of you keep records of your completed trades?

I'm not being funny - but asking people to share their findings without having contributed any yourself seems a little lazy.

Good research is exteremly valuable in the hands of a professional trader. I'm not talking about amatures

Dude, please read posts carefully before responding. It was an example.

But essentially I do agree with the point you're trying to make.

Couldn't agree with you more

I've stopped. I see no point in filling up an Excel sheet with stuff that I do not use. That is not to say that it is a bad idea for those that are in their first year, or so, or for those who trade less, or for anyone who is going to sit down and research it all, but just to record it for the sake of it---no.

are you blind, i already said i was going to add my part i just have been a little busy to gather it all togther.

forker · Nov 23, 2008

this is an interesting topic and i am not looking to take advantage of anyones analysis. not that it would make a difference anyways, i can tell you now statistically that with the andrews pitchfork price returns to the median line 80% of the time, would that make a difference to anyone here .. no.. its just for interest sake to see what regular or not events take place within the charts that are not visible to the eye without the studies. everyone one here talks about setups and psychology and money management but nobody talks about statistics when that is actuallly the most interesting part of the markets.
