99% profitable? i would be checking, then double checking, then tripple checking my coding. but congrats. i'll be interested to see how it performs real time.

ptf, im a little confused by your trading methods. you said you take trades from a statistical point of view. however later on you said you use discretionary as well...???

i learnt something from this post. hope it continues.

realised you said day trading. forget my posts :p

PLEASE! your saying its just as hard to blow an account with no leverage than an account with leverage! i completely understand your point of this post, and its a great topic... but if your completely exposed (e.g. 10-20 times your capital, assuming 5-10% collateral requirements)...

havent read all the posts so may have been said. would be extremely easy with leverage. just conitnually expose yourself as much as you can every day. you cant win every day, period. would be interesting to see what would happen if he wasnt using excessive leverage though.

so 30% and 25% drawdown respectively. yes thats a HUGE $ amount. but not overly suprising as a D.D.%. the markets been tanking and agressive hedge funds are down 25-30%, who's to say they wont make that back when (or should i say if) the market rebounds. its all relative

great post

defining a pullback is easy. finding congestion mathematically (coding) before the next break up is a little more challenging. ill wait to here yours first i think.

* why your clients didnt take the trades... did you end up finding out?
