BTW..... Siuya. we have your flip for a sell on Friday, which also happens to be NFP.

This "Non System" has been working so well, should we just be prepared for a poor NFP number ?? :cool:

 

No.

but i am sure we can adjust and excuse it after wards if it results in a loss prior to selling the system :)

Tomorrow we are doing Jimbo's flip, Tails/Sell.

 

I just received a PM from someone asking if TL was doing a Forex Trading Contest for August. It's a little late to get set up for August but I will set up a 1 month contest for September. I am going to enter my demo acct as "TL" . I am going to flip every trade, one trade a day. When the contest starts, depending on what the acct balance is, I will size the position so that every trade is either a 2% loss or a 2% win.

 

I want some volunteers to do some coin flips. It does not have to be one for every trading day on the month, we will rotate if we have to.

 

If the "Flip" acct wins the contest, ... well, ... well, ... well I think I would be speechless.

Mystic,

 

you need to create an adjacent thread with trader predictions to compare to the random thread.

Is it possible to set it up to start on Monday 5th? Or is that also to late?

It would be interesting to see the performance of the "Flippin' system" :D

Mystic,

I'am all for setting up an adjacent thread but who is going to make the predictions ?

 

I'am thinking a week before the thread starts, let's see who's entered and ask one of them.

 

 

[ Brunehilde ! ( my secretary ) get Goldman Sachs on the phone. see if they have someone they can enter in our contest to compete against us. Oh, and cancel my appointments for the rest of the day. ]

i l know of a guy that was profitable using a pendulum. It went left he sold..right he bought or vice/versa..don't remember..

 

Now what might be interesting too is to run the same experiment but use the collective knowledge and experience..skills of the group. Let the group analize and vote on short or long and majority wins for the play ....each day. I know in memory test group memory it much stronger and detailed than individual memory.

Stopped out @13275 09:43 EST -20 Pips.

 

10 Trades

2 Loser's -40 Pips.

7 Winners +140 Pips.

1 partial winner +4 Pips.

Total for the 2 week "Experiment", +104 Pips.

 

Onemove has set up a TL forex trading contest for August. I will enter the contest under the name "TL Experiment". I will make 1 trade per day using the same format that we have used here. Sized at 2%

I do need some coin tosses. If you don't specify a date I will insert them where needed.

If I don't have a toss for a particular day, I will make a flip just prior to the entry using a 5 Swiss Franc coin I have. :cool:

 

I will continue to post the entries and results here. How we are doing will be reflected in the "Trading Contest" thread.

Thank you Mysticforex for starting this experiment, this is very interesting!

 

The adjacent thread for the "Predict" part of the experiment is to be found here http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/16994-predict-experiment.html

 

I have a few questions:

1. Are the trades opened at 09:30 EST disregarding ideal entry location?

2. I created a $100,000 account for this experiment - is this the size account you wish to use? I can change it before Sunday so the 2% of the accounts will be similar in size so one is not stopped out prematurely.

3. What size contract are we entering?

 

Additional Question:

4. I was thinking risk:reward=2%:2% - doesn't that mean over the long run our expectancy is breakeven? What about having a 2% risk, but let the trade run until end of the day and not take the 2% target?

 

Thank you!

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
