    We never brake any law. It is an inestable equilibrium with so much potential energy store on it. What we are looking is a spark that activate the chain reaction.

    You break or you brake ? That is the question here. As a chemist, I do not believe in chain reactions, as they are usually only employed in bombs or explosives – never has ever anything useful been created this way -except for decades after.

     

    I believe in exponential growth. Bacteria or humankind grow this way. When they find good conditions, the will grow until they eat up their own food. But only then.

    Yes, I can, Have you ever made money with these methods ?

    Not sure which methods you are referring to exactly but I’ll guess you mean checking candles in multi time frames to improve probability of trading in the right direction. In automatic trading no as it is difficult (not impossible) to compare candles in different timeframes but I am absolutely certain that in manual trading I have using the theory. Buy on the dips is one example that springs to mind. When you buy at a good value price in a market that inherently wants to go up such as major indices then you have already increased the probability of being profitable. It is exactly why the big boys buy when the price is falling and sell when the price is rising. You will never beat an index buy and hold by only buying on rising prices – you have to buy when it is cheap and sell when it is expensive. Even if the method has not made me any money it will certainly have stopped me losing quite so much! 🙂

    Net means net. Below the line.

    In certain cases, after the phase of growth, they may live in a long coexistence with their partners for a mutual benefit.

    But this exists so far only in my head, not in reality.

    Polymers and plastics are made by chain reactions. But they are always controlled, and you could not earnestly claim that anything is controllable in trading !!

    My goodness – study something real before you post here and lose all your money !!

    Zum Teufel auch !

    As a chemist

    There are many sorts of chemists. Your random cryptic posts are making me thinking that you may be nearer the ‘Breaking Bad’ end of the chemistry business. Can I suggest maybe sampling less of the product before posting? 🙂

    Keep spending your money for IG, PRT and Nicolas.

    This is my recommendation.

    This is like going to a prostitute without understanding what she wants.

    You’re none of them. You never do what works, you just hope for it. And this is, why it never works.

    It must have been a pretty strong batch this week? 🙂

    I have more money than I started with so IG are going to be disappointed if they wanted my money. If this is an example of something not working then I’ll stick with things not working thank you. PRT have never had a penny off me, maybe off IG on my behalf but not off of me….. and as for Nicolas – I’m not sure that you should be calling him a prostitute on his own forum. I’ve certainly never paid him for any services – have you?

    …and as for me not being a chemist – thank God for that as no one rushes to sit next to the chemist at a dinner party. Except the prostitute I guess.

    Maybe I will take Nicolas’s previous advice and stop feeding the troll as it seems he may have overdosed already.

    Now back to the discussion about optimization. Please do join us once you have come down from your chemistry.

    Trying to do good chemistry where everything fits together must fail when it can’t fit.

    My friend, when you really make money on your boat, I will join you. All of the time.

    I have been 200 % up this year, and down again. And it has never been any different.

    God has given us, and he takes it.

    Now, if this is so, what am I doing wrong ?

    Using chemistry where mathematics and probability are more appropriate at a guess. 🙂

    Hey Verdi55,

    I am engineer and the market are far to being something deterministic, so calm down.

    Un-learning is as important as learning. So keep asking yourself. What is wrong? Are your codes a reflexion of your fears and greed? Do you risk a lot? ? Do you feel comfortable when your code is trading?

    are you really enjoying this journey?

    by the way, stop posting frase by frase or quoting yourself.
