General Talk

I’ve been testing a bunch of trading strategies lately, and I keep wondering—how much can we actually trust backtesting results? In theory, it should give a good idea of how a strategy performs, but in reality, I’ve had cases where a strategy looks bulletproof in testing, only to fail miserably in live trading. One time, I spent weeks optimizing a breakout strategy. It showed consistent profits in backtests, almost no drawdowns, and a solid win rate. But when I started trading it live, the results were completely different. Orders weren’t executed the way I expected, spreads ate into my profits, and the strategy just didn’t hold up.

I am afraid I am one of the oldest here. I am 45. Grew up being a big fan of models like Stephanie Seymour, Karen Mulder, Yasmin Ghauri, Daniela Pestova, Elle McPherson, etc. They were perfect in my eyes.

there used to be this website called brassiere that had all the data base for that: you clicked a model and it showed the different brands she's worked with. What's a website for that these days ?

I am working on something to help the 80s 90s and 00s model posters. Can you post people's handles in here so I can ask opinions on how we work/find/post things in models threads. I know some of us scan, some focus on runway, and some focus on catalog. Please ping anyone in here whether they are active of not. Please let me know the things you are currently researching or interested in posting.

I have a friend who studied fashion design. She had to hire a model to model a pair of pants that she designed. These pants are low rise, so regular underwear could easily stick out over the top. So she told the model ahead of time to wear a thong. When models are doing a job, such as a photoshoot or a fashion show, do the other people have any idea what underwear they're wearing? For example, if they're posing for a photographer in low rise pants, would he be told that they're wearing a low rise thong underneath? Or if they're wearing a revealing shirt, do they know whether they're wearing a bra?

Hello everybody, I've a question to submit to the hair model fans : what's your favourite Pantene girl EVER ? After a bit of hesitation, I've chosen Mira Koleva, who featured in a couple of adverts in the 2000s. I love this model. (there are a few captions of her below) And you, what are the Pantene female models that you prefer, and why ? (a few pictures or captions of them may be useful to recognize them better)

Can we make a thread devoted to Models who have worked with Saks Fifth Avenue?

What service do you like the most and the least? I had bad experiences with ups. I like the post office the most.

What do you think about Fashion World post-Covid? The new models aren t not so famous, there are a lot of models but not iconic, there are more influencers models, there aren t Victoria Secret Fashion Show, but more facilities to become a model, maybe only 1 day, 1 spot, or 1 editorial, but not supermodels like Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, etc What do you think you?

Hi, what do your parents do? because mine is a contractor, and he works A LOT, so I want to help him facilitate his work, at least the part of the communication between his clients, the addresses, the materials he uses, the budget and so on, from what has occurred to me The idea of looking for a program that can help him in his work, but I can't find any. Does anyone know where to get a program or software that can help my father in his contractor work?
