C is not so scary.

Started the Shaun T insanity workout today.

Holy shit. did the 25 min test. almost died. couldn't move for about half an hour after.

Every session after today is like 50 mins.

i'm fucked.

Poker is going worse than I planned. Mainly because I keep makin mistakes. At least I recognize them and try to improve on them.

People(not the authors, but independent testers) keep saying that the Forex Rebellion system works. Since its a very mechanical system, I implemented it in MT4, and I've yet to get good results. Its a "tiny" bit different than what's described, but it shouldn't make THAT much of a difference.

Anyways, I'll try to go through it step by step and see if there are more differences than I recognize.

I also need to do IPOS, and job hunt... today.

Job hunt first. go.

Aight, I think I got my entries down.

Next....

get the stoploss, and establish target....

Went through the tut. for expert advisor, which is a automated trading programming language. It looked pretty intimidating since i'm a pretty bad programmer and I haven't seen C since freshman year. But i guess ever since I've gotten real friendly with MATLAB, this tut. didn't look so bad. Anyways, I wanna go through the rest of this tut. and start doin my own programming. The main reason I wanna do this is to backtest the forex rebellion system. Since to find the expected value of the thing, we need alot of trades. + I wanna do it in different time frames.... and doin that by hand would drive me insane.

Aight, learning how to program in metatrader. Did my first indicator. Today will be my first EA.
Also have to look for a job today.
um... probably no video games or poker today.
oh, also downloading Shaun T's insanity workout. 12 damn gigs. I'll do my workouts to that once its downloaded.

Aight, its not bad.

Over 1 month backtesting period, I had a total of about 50 trades, it made 880 pips.

Unfortunately, the mean of each trade is 18.xx and variance is 121. To be statistically significant, we have to have at least 500 samples-ish.

So I think I'll have to develop a testing system for this. I tried to use ninja trader but it's not cooperating. I guess I can try to do it in metatrader... but that requires learning MQL... or whatever its called. We'll see.

OH SWEET FOUND A NEW SYSTEM THAT I CAN"T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON!!

sounds interesting, called forex rebellion.

Watched the video a bit, very very systematic. can't wait to test it out.

Don't know where to go on the stock baseline thing now. It's pretty much done. Need new system to test.

Spent the last few days workin on the "let there be my range" thing. Almost done with the turn.

Tomorrow, do the IPOS, and job hunting.

Spend at least 8 hours today on ninja trader. Figured out how to do the best testing a lil, but still can't quite get it to do what i want.

Think i need to take a break from that thing.

So started doing statistical analysis on the data in minitab. First when I ran some pair t tests, because the variance is soooo huge, i needed something like 1000 samples for statistical significance! F THAT! So I took a deeper look at the data, and realized that I think I needed to separate the winning trades and the losing trades and do statistical analysis on them individually. That way the variance won't be all over the place.

So now I'm getting into Ninja trader, specifically the backtesting stuff. Seems very useful. Gonna spend a few days on it, maybe using new scripts and testing them out.

Finished the back testing on the MA and the berk's trend following system.
Tomorrow will be analysis.
Also, watched 2 hours of PS+ video on the flop series.
Worked out.
Overall a good day.

I'm gonna update everyday to keep myself on track.

So far I've actually got some progress on the stock baseline report. I've done backtesting with Berk's system and moving avg system on the daily bar of EUR/USD.

In about half an hour, I have to go to therapy for a few hours.

After dinner, I think I'll start writing the report for my poker range thing. Probably either read the rest of "let there be range", or watch the a video on one of the flop, turn, river video by andrew brokos.

After that, if i feel like it, i'll play a lil poker.

If not, I'll play some Runes of magic.

And also work out tonight sometime.

woohoo! done with finals
