Hi, Has anyone spent much time tracking how closely the EUR/USD combo trades to the CME 6E contract? I know futures don't correspond exactly to the underlying, since they're a derivative used for hedging etc., but wondered if anyone had studied it closely on a tick-by-tick basis. Thanks

Umm, not knowing whether to go long or short at a particular moment?

I have (had) AMP with Dorman, and yes their statements are impossible to decipher. I just look at the start and end amounts! For the rest, check NinjaTrader's execution reports.

Hi, Who here has run an automated system that performed as well going forward as it did in backtesting? Over at least a few months anyway. If you did, how long a period did you backtest over? I have had a lot that failed (call them seminars), some that broke even, and some that made money...

I love the markets. I love the randomness, the headfakes, the (in all probability) manipulation, the unpredictability. These things are your friends, not your enemies. They keep average Joes out of the markets (once they've blown out their accounts). Hey, if it was easy, everybody would be...

Very well put.

On my to-do list. :)

Dear Market, Welcome back. I hope you had a nice Christmas break. I know I did. I was hoping you'd be back in the first week of January, but I guess you just weren't ready. I missed you. But I see you're on top form again now. Good to have you back. Let's have a great 2010. Sincerely...
