    Depends how you twist it. The Yale students were likely trying to find the highest win rate based on historical statistics. That certainly is a pattern.
    The rat still recognised a pattern.

    It immediately realized that the left side was more rewarding.

    That's pattern recognition.

    Unlike the rat, their swollen brains stubbornly searched for the elusive pattern that determined the positioning of the reward

    That is attempting to discover complete order.

    Ballpark figure is nice if you happen to understand.
    Win rate is in the 90's I've gone 3 weeks with no losses and 2 in the 4th as my best operate on it.

    1-4 trades daily looking for 20 pips complete, avg winner is about 7-12 not sure

    I use a static prevent of 2% but handle loss by PA Id say avg loss is merely a pinch over my winners but not much. The biggest I can think about was in the 20's of pips

    How ever every now and then I ch a runner for 30 pips away these are my longest trades usually done in about 20 minutes

Not random, just too difficult for our little pea brains to understand. We can't even comprehend the inner workings of human thoughts, let alone understand the outcome of what plogy (greed and fear) has on price.

    Sure many look for the formula. Price is the inverse sum of the square root of karma straight...
    and many musicians are starving.

    I believed Rotter got busted for some time back, there was some scandal about him I'm sure, wasn't he exiled to Zug or somewhere?

    You Appear to like rats a lot.

    The underlying message I am getting out of this is thatif one scenario seems more profitable, then there's absolutely not any need to question it because that's just the way it is. Perhaps also this thread is finished assessing scalping when the rat is only'after' the market.

    In a crystal clear universe, your rat case could be great because your simply stating a fact predied on all other matters being equal. That's not necessarily true in the actual world, particularly in Foreign Exchange.


    There is always a motive as to why something has worked. That's where the key aspects of Foreign Exchange trading come in, including Money Management, Risk to Reward, position sizing, and so on.

    Its not just about looking at the short term, its roughly years and months from now. Its about advancement, is all about its about refining and evolution. I've seen a couple of the posts on the other thread stating that while people analyze the rat only traces the market.


    The market is not transferred by one head. Its transferred by thousands and thousands of different men and women. At which point do you opt to follow a certain group of traders who move the market? Now perhaps you'll suggest that there's not any need to trace people, simply follow the Price Action. Price action is a matter of discretion. A rat will visit a pub going short, and will follow it due to its crude mind. It'll do this even if its a one pip go down. Traders simply can not do this because they may see profit for a short time, but then it'll reverse. So does this mean you currently take long? If thats the case then it would be an endless day just take long, short, long short, just to end up with fruion.


    You are right in that the market motion is more or less arbitrary to an ordinary trader. However, the profitable traders are the people who develop good money management, risk to reward and so on. That.


    LoL, rat's cannot be related to trading with substantial proof. I get the idea, however in regard to genuine use, I really don't see it. Unless the rat occurs to be mickey mouse, then its another story


    I love debating such topics. Looking to hear back.
