RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] (OT) Entire "statistics" discussion has a major fault.

If a security is trending, there is nothing more reliable than moving
averages, in my opinion.  My primary trading indicator is a derivative of
several combined moving averages.  I used this indicator profitably for 6
consecutive years in the T-Bond futures market.  Unfortunately, the seventh
year, the market stopped trending.  In choppy, whip-saw, sideways markets,
moving averages are definitely not the tool of choice.  If you can determine
early on when a market is trending and when it is entering a choppy period,
you will be a VERY profitable trader.  This is a "Holy Grail" of technical
analysis.  Let me know when you find it.

Best,

Larry Carhartt

While we are picking apart TA the biggest danger in my
opinion is multicolinerarity. That is using exactly
the same type of indicator [say stochastics and rsi]
as confirmations of one another when in fact they are
measuring the same thing [momentum].

As to meaningless correlations I'd defend moving
averages of all indicators as being anything but.
There is a reason these are used in many areas of
analysis other than price data. Whether or not you can
trade them consistently to profit is a horse of
another color.
