You are in for a shock if you do believe these results are true. You will certainly be using info that is available in the back test but wouldn't be available in real time. As your results are either all long trades or all short trades then my bet is you are trading based on some higher level...

There is legislation to protect minority shareholder interests so in theory the directors can't do what you say. In practise it will be very difficult and expensive to stop them though.

Where I live right now all the women walk around in bikinis most of the time. I have no desire to rape them. Any one who thinks that women should modify their behaviour and not wear the clothes they want so that we accommodate potential rapists is wrong headed and probably a bit misogynistic...

I run 3 x MT4 instances with 8 pairs in each MT4 app. MT4 really doesn't use many resources - I think I have only 512 memory and 15GB hard disk on the VPS. I have got unlimited network traffic so not sure how little you could get away with - but using MT4 over a pay for usage usb stick in the...

I have no problems with the low end VPS servers I use at £17 a month. I run 3 x Metatrader on each. You really don't need anymore for MT$ EA's.

You haven't proved that the model is flawed (you just assume it is). You certainly have no evidence that the results are innacurate. I'm bailing on this - with all the ad hom I can no longer take your points seriously.

My understanding is that the statistical methods were 'flawed' i.e not perfect. However, that does not mean the results were necessarily wrong. I believe that other methods have been employed and the results are similar. So lets say that even if you could have got the same result from noise...

Well given that a number of these panels have not raised that concern - and have been generally suportive of the model then I would be very confident that it's just a load of nonsense. If it were true then these panels would note more than just some minor statistical failings - so I think you...

I would refer you to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey_stick_controversy and especially: At the request of Congress, a panel of scientists convened by the National Research Council was set up, which reported in 2006 supporting Mann's findings with some qualifications, including...

You invented it - Mother of All Losses! I'm debating how I want to run my next account - I think I may go for auto contrarian entries of reasonable size - much more my style. It's the sitting around waiting that gets me into trades so scalping may not be the best idea. I will start a new...

Hmmm - Have put more money into the account and am getting the EA to autoexit my trades so I can't do MOALs anymore. If anyone is still interested in this I could set up another site and set out the rules?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_portfolio_theory is what I mean.

How about you just go for a balanced portfolio - that way where you lose in one area - you should gain in others?

I was a dick and didn't take my loss(only about £200) beofre the news - when I knew I should have. I'm going to top up the account - but not trade like this anymore - and not post the outcomes.

That really is it - I've taken my loss (about £1.5k on this attempt).
