The expectation of moving averages is zero. They contain no more data than the time series from which they were derived. A filter separates the past from the past. You can expect that your trading results will drop 2% below the efficiency of a coin using any such methods. I think you're confusing success with the Theory of Runs, or is that too mathematical?

I agree with you on tech analysis and the beauty of math. Some basic education (or even a review of the basics for you "Mr. Know it all's" out there is available at clearstation.com Give it a try!

>math is a language, programing is a language and English is a >language. I can not talk to you except in English, but unless >you speak programing and math.......you will not hear what I say. That is FUNNY. Ahhaha knows more about both programming and math than you and 15 of your buddies all put together. All I can say is go read his past posts on this thread, they go back all the way... He loves to play word games, to spar w/ people, sometimes as devil's advocate (ie, even if he agrees with them) and to make vast, sweeping pronouncements. Very, very entertaining reading - I really urge you to do it (go back on this thread and read his posts). I've had huge "posting wars" w/ him, but have great respect for his knowledge of technical matters - software/math/physics - it permeates many of his posts, and the PM's I've received from him. Regarding knowledge of markets, he used to be a MM (info from a post of a 6-18 months ago - it's been awhile). You are very presumptuous. EDIT - for example, here is some math & a statement that reinforces Ahhaha's views here that no machine can invest well: from: exchange2000.com "There is a service that takes the trading premium and subtracts the Black & Scholes pricing model theoretical premium to get a transient state premium difference. Then applies the Merton model to the puts for a similar computation. Finally computes the ratio of the transient state premiums. It is another form of put/call ratio on a short term basis and it was wickedly accurate, but like any mechanism, can't predict the future. It does accurately represent sentiment in comparison to the traditional put/call ratios which have failed to do a very good job for at least 10 years." I've got no clue what that means, but seems it does involve math...
