I'm surprised ISM-Services is not on the list. It's usually released two days after the ISM-Mfg Index.

Just when I thought the trolls were about to ruin this thread, Mav injects some reality. Trolls respond with name-calling and shorter posts.

The hardest path to trading success is to teach yourself how to day trade futures. The easiest path is to learn from someone with a good track record. Not your brother-in-law. Chose someone from one of these groups: trader who has been interviewed by Jack Schwager (Minervini); trader who has...

Austin, don't you adjust your position size for the higher volatility? I don't understand why that would be your sole reason for preferring TF. Maybe you could argue that the patterns are cleaner (I don't know if they are), but there has to be some reason other than higher vol. I listen to...

Yeah, I really should spend more time racking up post totals on ET and less time trying to improve my trading plan. 3,300+ posts and still unable to pass a Combine. Wow, what you could have done with that time. I would not have been able to pass a Combine, yet, but I have a lot more live...

Less than 10 point travel ranges? Here's the 9:30-4:00 travel range for each of the past 10 days and the corresponding 10 day average range: May 12 - 11.25 range for the day, and 14.43 ten day average range May 13 - 6.50 and 14.08 May 14 - 11.00 and 13.88 May 15 - 22.50 and 15.00 May 16...

Pekelo, I would worry about that, too. One the other hand, a system is a lot more than just entry signals.

That's a good question. With that much money they would have lots of options. Accredited investors have access to many more funds, all of which have audited track records and are managed by people who know precisely what their own style of investing is. Why would giving the money to someone who...

Here's the flaw: "open-ended, no deadline" equals poor capital allocation. Why allocate money to daytraders who only make money in a limited number of cherry-picked days. Twenty trading days is an entire month. How many of those are you going to pass up in a year? One NYC firm that has been...
