Let's Try an Experiment

Recommended Posts

Have you read FOOLED BY RANDOMNESS, THE BLACK SWAN, or THE SIGNAL AND THE NOISE?

 

Your experiment will not prove a thing, IMHO.

 

How about flipping the coin ONCE for the entire experiment, heads go long, tails go short. Use the WEEKLY ATR of the EUR/USD for a stop loss and trade $.10 per pip.

 

Taking this far too seriously...

 

Flip the coin... dumb fcking stupid as this is... see how it turns out (won't prove a thing). Ya'll are way too serious.

Quoting myself... that sucks. Take the trade against the coin flip... that would be interesting. Best of good fortunes.

This is what we have so far:

 

Me Mon 7/22 (today) Heads/Buy

1 position = $1 a pip.

TP = 20

SL = 20

Position opened 09:30 EST

 

 

Optiontimer Tues 7/23 Tails/Sell

 

Glassonoin Wed 7/24 Heads/Buy

 

Jpennybags Thurs 7/25 Tails/Sell

 

Bluehorse Fri 7/26 Heads/Buy

 

Siuya Fri 8/2 Tails/Sell

 

 

If some of the spots are not filled, that's ok too. It's all random.

Anyone else wants to jump into an empty spot, jump away.

Take Profit @13204 10:00 EST.

 

I had the chart set to 1 minute, I did not see the trade close so I don't know if it closed on the 10: candle, or if it just rounded the time to the next 15 min of half hour.

 

Anyway, + 20 so far.

Tomorrow we will be doing Jpennybags Tails/short.

 

This is wild, 3 in a row so far. If we win tomorrow it will blow my mind.

My trading day is usually done by 09:30 so I have never really watched PA on a small TF at the NY open.

Some very interesting stuff going on. After this "experiment" we should talk about it.

Random can be humbling... we shall see how this turns out.

 

I once did an experiment were I traded from the left side of the screen... in a trending market everyone looks like a genius.

 

Sometimes we are our worst enemies... get the trade on, and manage the trade has become my philosophy.

:rofl:

 

Your comment reminded me of an interview that i saw on TV with a woman in the UK talking about the birth of the royal baby.

 

She expressed the opinion that she was "Amazed" that the child was a boy.
