You may have noticed that I made a well-timed call on the new Million Token shortly before it rallied from $12 to over $200. And, you may have noticed it peaked near the exact price of $200 that I mentioned– but a peak does not make a top, and I am bullish for even more […]
Continue readingI think the democratization of market making is very important because today those profits are concentrated into a few technology firms and even worse brokers who are supposed to serve the customer. While markets are more accessible then ever before: market making in the established markets is I’m going to argue less accessible then ever […]
Continue readingSince my last post, Million Token is up almost 100%. I recently became aware of Uniswap through learning about MillionToken, a speculative token with “moon shot” growth potential, in my opinion. One of the goals of decentralized finance or DeFi as it’s called is to democratize finance through technology. Uniswap has an automated market maker […]
Continue readingAbout 2 years ago, I shared a dead simple strategy to beat all the smart fancy pants professionals where I said simply, “buy Microsoft and buy more when it drops”. That strategy turned out to be really powerful. But, you have to execute! And you have to keep executing well to get the nice returns. […]

I also made money trading with my system. But, I started to lose using some of “manual market making” techniques. […]
Continue readingIn a recent post, I shared my “Proven Winner” optimization methodology. The concept in brief is to only allow the walk-forward optimization engine to select strategies that worked over a long period of time for WFO consideration. It is possible to do this in Tradestation Easylanguage or Multicharts Powerlanguage by optimizing a single master switch […]
Continue readingTradestation and Multicharts support a form of optimization known as Matrix WFO. The Matrix WFO runs through many combinations of WFO in and out of sample periods to try to determine the best setting to use for re-optimization. As well, some traders use Matrix WFO to robustness test a strategy. Recently, I implemented my “Proven […]
Continue readingOne way to think about WFO is instead of thinking about it as in-sample and out-of-sample performance is to think about a static population of strategies because it truly is a static population of strategies. In seeing it in this light, we can start to realize the correlation between past and future periods will be […]
Continue readingIn a recent post, I introduced a new innovation in WFO which I called Weighted Anchored WFO (WAWFO). This new approach and innovation derived from the many problems that I recognized traditional WFO has and attempts to address many of the problems I recognized inherit to WFO (but cannot address all, unfortunately).
