Hi MGJ > Super Turtle by Murray Ruggiero. He is not shy about touting Super Turtle right here on ET. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...ein#post1267239 Thank you very much for your input. So there actually is a successful commercial system. His message and the discussions there are also...

Hi Bob111 > btw-i don't believe in teamwork in this business Thank you very much for your concern. I really appreciate it. And please do not take this the wrong way. (Also, if I misunderstand you, I am sorry.) Teamwork collapses or at least does not work, which is the thing I have...

A broker friend called me yesterday saying that there is a vender selling a trading system which uses cycle analysis and Turtle type of channel breakouts. But she does not know its name.

Hi mrmoose > what market are you talking about trading? I am sorry but I was not so clear. I am thinking of trading TY, FV ,TU and ED. In Europe, BUND, BOBL, SCHATZ - EUREX and EURIBOR - LIFFE.

Hi empee > interesting. I have been using 350 day ma's for my systems before the turtle book came out, just because it seemed to be a better indicator (through backtesting) than 200, it gave more trades and still avoided the big selloffs (the ones that occur after a downtrend has started)...

My research team has made several trading systems. Since I am very new to the team and rather busy with my personal life, I have not used them yet. But now I think it is time to get started. I contacted a broker about commission rates. He says he cannot discount much because my orders are...

I think the book is great especially because it includes several trading systems. In fact, I skipped almost the entire book but its systems part. Basic ideas of the systems are those you can see somewhere else too. But what amazed me is many of them employ a 350-day moving average. 350 days...

I am sorry but I do not have an answer to your question. I with my teammates use a try and error approach. When we come up with an idea, we just try to think of its variations. This way we sometimes go somewhere completely different from the original ideas. > holding a position from one...

I know this is completely irrelevant to trading. But when you trade long hours, you may face a health problem. I heard one time that a floor trader's heart beats faster when he trades from his own judgement than that of a rancher who is accidentally kicked by a cow. Mental health is very...

> What is your PRIMARY tech analysis method ? When I saw the results, there were not so many votes cast yet. But "I use my own methods or seriously adapted things to my liking" got highest votes. I feel very happy to see many people trying doing something new.

Hi, kapama > 87% of all funds return less than S&P?????? I read something similar more than 10 years ago. Maybe we do not have to pay any penny to professional active managers. But when the market is plunging, they can outperform the index due to their cash positions.

I study trading system ideas with my research buddies. My team (non-pro) studied cycle period-based channel breakouts but in vain. We tested more than 100 ideas in the area. (When we do research, we usually test more than 100 ideas. But we as a team kind of gave up already.) Here is our...
