My issue was resolved by Bitfinex. Well, with the help of user urwhatuknow in particular.
Thank you!

"user" is a bit missleading, as he is the CEO (?) or founder.

He is a user of bitcointalk anyway, and, all in all, you don't need to know who the man is to thank him.

Save your Google Auth codes when you set up 2FA, it is only a question of time before your phone breaks.  If you did not do it, disable 2FA now and reenable it right after, this gives you a second chance to save the key.

Couldn't you please describe how can I do that, assuming I have full access to my account? What codes are you talking about?

It's impossible to do it now. That's the nature of Google Auth, you have a chance to save the code only immediately when it is created, to prevent anyone from getting your codes while incidentally get hold of your phone for a short period of time, for instance while you are not watching. Procedure to get the code is to disable 2FA on a site, get new authentication token for that site and then log the code. There's also a possibility to get maximum 10 recovery tokens on Google site, I'm not quite sure how it works since I was never in situation to use those recovery tokens.


What do you mean by logging the code? On bitfinex 2fa settings page I can see a QR code and an "Accont token(key)" which is a string. Do you mean that I can for example print this page, and when I loose my phone next time I will download a google authenticator app on my new phone, feed it with the QR code that I printed and It will work as the old one?

The problem it that it has to be slow and tedious to work around a lost 2FA code - there would be no security in it if the hacker could just hack your gmail account and write to support.  Some sites have a policy of waiting weeks before giving access if you lose 2FA!

First, I have access to my phone number, I just put my sim card into a new device, and Bitfinex has my verivied number, so they can send a text/make a call to ensure that I am not a hacker that broke someone email.

Second, it would be ok if support answered me that look, we have a protocol and you have to wait for several weeks. But I got ZERO RESPONSE from support. At all. They just ignored me. Zane Tackett and Josh Rossi on Reddit promised to take care of it and got silent since then.

And the price is going down, making me loose my money day after day.

I recommend publishing more details: Did you lose access to your email account AND forget your password?  Or is your lack of access due to some other circumstance?  What were the contents of the email you sent to support?  Did you check to make sure you didn't mistype the email address (we can too, if you publish the headers).  If you do publish your support request, make sure you remove any info you don't want public.

The first question to you - are you working at Bitfinex and going to resolve the issue, or you just giving some advice? Please answer, it is important.

I broke my phone. Completely. So I can enter correct login and password, but I am requered to enter google code right after that. Which I cannot do. And I cannot set up 2fa on my new phone because i cannot log in. I can recieve messages and calls at my phone number registered at Bitfinex. I have full access to my email. I even successfully changed password, received it to my email, but still couldn't login because of 2fa.
Please help ASAP, my stop loss is too low.

I have lost access to my account on Bitfinex, wrote to support about a week ago, but got no response.
Also contacted Zane Tackett and Josh Rossi on Reddit one day ago, who promised to sort my issue out, still no news from them.
Does anyone know any other way of making thing right with Bitfinex?
I can't just wait and see my money slipping away on this price drop.

If you're looking to see what the average financial academic says about trading and investing, here's a place to start:


Once you've read/studied the above, you'll have a pretty good grasp of where the typical academic stands.

It is a little bit offtopic, but I am really amused by finding this text in the wiki paper you have recommended on the efficient market hypothesis (EMH):

Quote
Economist John Quiggin has claimed that "Bitcoin is perhaps the finest example of a pure bubble", and that it provides a conclusive refutation of EMH.[36] While other assets used as currency (such as gold, tobacco and U.S. dollars) have value independent of people's willingness to accept them as payment, Quiggin argues that "in the case of Bitcoin there is no source of value whatsoever" and that:
"Since Bitcoins do not generate any actual earnings, they must appreciate in value to ensure that people are willing to hold them. But an endless appreciation, with no flow of earnings or liquidation value, is precisely the kind of bubble the EMH says can’t happen."

Oh, and yet another question from me. As I understand the cornerstone of most trading systems is the assumption that markets trend. Are you aware of any scientific research proving that markets actually do trend? I am not trying to state they are not, just want to dig a little bit deeper in the underlying theory. Can you please point into the direction where I can find something worth reading on this question?

And, by the way, couldn't you please share what markets act like bitcoin market does thus being suitable for system optimisation?

Before answering your below questions, I feel the need to suggest that you may be curve-fitting.  If you are to a point where you are trying to find a system which catches precise market action, you are too far "in the weeds".  The market rarely repeats itself exactly so a system which is optimized around a certain market event will probably not perform well in the future.  Think general thoughts - a moving average crossover system is designed to catch an average trend and hold it through its life-cycle.  A system designed to catch a specific trend will probably not hold up in the future.

Yes, you are absolutely right. But the problem is that the only way to avoid curve-fitting is optimising the system on a longer time interval. The longest time period we have in the history of bitcoin trading is 4 years from 2011 to 2014. And during this time period we have 3 huge price spikes one in june 2011, the second in april 2013 and the last in november 2013. All of this spikes are quite similar and when optimising the system on an extended time interval from 2011 to 2014 the main influencing factor on the profit gain is how the system operated on those 3 spikes. The system performance outside this 3 spikes matters much less for optimisation results. This is an arguable opinion, but if needed I can prove it with numbers for systems that trade on 1 day time frame.

So, when picking up a system based on optimisation results we are picking the spike-catcher system.
Thus, the first problem is that there is no way to avoid "a system which is optimized around a certain market event" (3 events actually, which are very common) using only bitcoin trading data. Would extending optimisation data field to other markets be a proper way to deal with this problem?

You are correct - if you do not trade the system exactly as tested, your returns will be materially different.
A stop-loss is a key component of trading.  It is dangerous to trade without a stop-loss.  Over the long run, you will probably encounter a trade which will completely destroy your account if you do not set stops.  I suggest you research this more and incorporate a stop-loss into your trading system.

If it is true that optimisation even on the whole bitcoin market data depends strongly on the ability of the system not to sell at the bottom of a bubble crash but to wait a little and to sell on the rebound or even later, when the price stabilizes a bit, then adding a trailing stop loss can change the results dramatically, making systems that sell at the bottom of the bubble crash more profitable than slower ones due to the trailing stop loss.

So wouldn't it be logical to optimise the system with a stop loss already included rather than optimising the system without a stop loss first and then add a stop loss into a system which is already optimised without a stop loss, thus trading the system not the way it was tested?

Hello everyone and thanks for the great post!
Goomboo, I would appreciate if you could answer a couple of questions

I have noticed that when comparing results of different EMA pairs and building heatcharts the main thing that matters is when the sell signal is generated. The pairs which generate sell signal at the bottom of the panic sell pit make less profit then the pairs which generate a sell signal later when the price bounces back up a little, or even when the price stabilizes after the fall.
The point where the sell signal is generated, while the bubble collapse, seems to be the most influencing factor on the result of an EMA-cross systems comparison.

As an example during the april crash in 2013 the 21-10 EMA system sold at about $70
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg180zczsg2013-03-05zeg2013-05-01ztgSza1gEMAzm1g10za2gEMAzm2g21
 
while a 17-22 system sold at about $100 and outperformed the 21-10 system on my backtests on the period 20.05.2012 - 20.09.2013
http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/bitstampUSD#rg180zczsg2013-03-05zeg2013-05-15ztgSza1gEMAzm1g17za2gEMAzm2g22

http://i.imgur.com/9M527n3.png?1

Adding some common sense while closing long positions during the bubble crash can increase the profit greatly. I think that somewhere on this thread you told that if you see a flashcrash you shouldn't sit around waiting fir the lines to cross. But doing this means ruining the whole method as you can no longer expect that the system used in a way it was not optimised for will bring you to the point of it's statistical expectation.

I mean that optimising the system by 2 parameters and then making decigions upon the change of some third parameter or a gut feeling makes no sense.

I can see three ways out of this situation:

First is that you choose the best backtest performing system and stick to it no matter what. You will get what you expect from your system but you will also leave some extra profit aside.

Second is that you choose the best system by taking into account only the quality of the buy signals, assuming that you will close long positions manually.

And the third is adding a third parameter for optimisation like a trailing stop loss which can imitate a manual position closing.

So here goes the question: have you ever considered the last two options and what do you think of them?


And the second question is about re-optimising the system. Somewhere on this thread you said that the 21-10 system is not the best one according to backtesting any more, but as far as I could understand you are against re-optimising it and choosing another EMA pair due to overfitting. Did I get it correctly?
