    Hammering away, slow and methodical

    Hi Rol, On Monday 6/25/2012, you were contemplaiting an SPY position. I was wondering if you made the entry? Also, I have lost track of the basis of your gains. As I recall you started this thread with about $38K, your last statement shows $10K profit. Does this mean you added $52K to...

    Hammering away, slow and methodical

    Nice trading on that GLD & SLV even with program errr! I was wondering if the GUILD trade is based on a strict mechanical interpretation of the chart and indicators shown? Are you introducing fundamentals from the news, or general overall market (i.e. SPX) chart analysis to influence taking...

    Hammering away, slow and methodical

    GLD and SLV are tightly correlated. The two positions are essentially the same bet on market direction. The impulsive SLV entry lacks discipline and planning. I have gathered from your first post that a keystone of your new strategy is to keep the account at a minimum to enforce discipline...

    Hammering away, slow and methodical

    Rol, good luck with your new strategy. Do you mean 3K positions of GLD and SLV? There is a trading strategy on Collective 2 called 'Stock Swing Trader' that is worth taking a look at. Julian Van de Walle trades long and a short positions at any given time, chosing strong performing...

    Rol's Trading Journal

    Hi Rol, You have created a fabulous thread. Lots of signals also mean the market is going down hard, so it begs the question: Do entrys made on those days have better returns or win probability than normal?

    direct statistical trading a "clearly" defined approach by NTW31

    Forrestang, Thanks for the reply. I have often wondered if NUKE's strategy has merit, and your data has come closest to visualizing that for me. However, I am still missing an important piece of reference. For the period 1/18/11 to 2/11/11, SPY gained 3.0%. How can I use your performance...

    direct statistical trading a "clearly" defined approach by NTW31

    Hi Forrestang I cannot understand your performance data. Is Expectancy = rate of return for the period ? What is the starting equity to end up with a P&L of $331

    " My strat does not look at support or resistance levels, or moving averages, or volume other than to screen out low volume stocks. The couple of indicators I use are not used in the typical ways. It seems to come down to an edge I have discovered that backtests well or even better on out of...

    TradeStation auto trade

    I used WealthLabPro about 1 year ago, but the strategies were frequently geting out of sync with the real account, so I switched to Ninjatrader, which initialy did the same thing until I figured out a coding workaround which was a lot of work to implement. To use WealthlabPro, Fidelity requires...

    Will the S&P go to 1000 or 1200 ?

    9/22/2010 9:15 pm est: Vote count is 50% bull, 39.5% bear makes for a bull-bear spread of 10.5%. Jack Steiman reported bull-bear spread of 12.5% in his Wednesday report. Nice going EliteTraders. You are normal after all.
