Jeff, are you still trading your system and if so how's it going? Regards, Nav

rcreal, I've just notice that you had posted or talked about other promising systems in the past. Care to post results of any of them in real time? If not, please post how this NQ system fares in real time vs. your backtesting. Good Trading, Nav.

rcreal, If you can replicate this in real time, it indeed is "Kick-Ass". Can you tell me if you use stops and what data period you are using? Even better, can you post the actual excel file instead of the gifs? So you're saying you used the same parameters since '97?

That's what I thought. Depending on how long the contest period is that would be pretty high an "entry fee" to enter this contest. I can't see many daytraders willing to do this. Like I said, it caters to longer term traders and those with other agendas. This is a daytrading thread, remember?

Initial posters were talking hypothetical trades I believe. What I posted was real with commission, slippage everything else that went wrong included. Commisso posted real results minus the commissions but we kinda derived what it would be with commissions in the later posts. Would anyone...

Do you know what the fixed commission is? We're talking about the NQ minis here. I have a feeling I would be paying twice or three times my current rate to try this. As a daytrader, you gotta be crazy or have other motives to try this. Unless you're a longer term trader and paying higher...

Commisso, I'll be looking forward to your results after your latest period ends. I'll try to post my ytd results as well. And about the collaboration, I don't think you have to be a systematic trader, as long as your results are consistent. I don't expect too many people would be willing to...

I'm not sure about this particular contest but usually they make you open an account and charge you some fixed commission which is probably much higher than what you would generally be paying otherwise. I could be wrong but that my understanding. It's probably more geared for the medium to...

This looks too much like one of their junk mail I get from them all the time. I hope you don't work for them.... ;) IMHO these low margins attract exactly the type of trader that can least afford to use this kind of leverage. But to each his own I guess. Good luck if you need that kind of...

So the avg win/loss ratio is 3.0 before and closer to 2 after commissions at the worst... that's still very impressive for a daytrading system. Can you do this consistently and for how long? Profit factor of around 1.5 net of commissions I think. Nice... Anyone else? I see lots of...

ROTFL, :D Do you really mean Sabena or are you referring to Virgin or his/her friend from China?

$300 average per contract on a one lot is damn impressive. That's $75,000 a year and 3/4 mil if trading 10 lots. In regards to increasing your size, that depends on how much capital you have at risk and your risk tolerance level.

Thanks for the info. Your Avg Win/Avg Loss, is that 3.3 or a range from 3.3 to 1? If it's 3.3, that's awsome... net of commissions, right?

Anyone else willing to share their NQ performance record? Here's mine in the hopes of getting more takers... For year 2001: Profit factor = 1.4 % Profitable = 57% win/loss ratio = 1.1 This is actual not hypothetical / optimized and includes commissions. It would be nice to see...

TraderC, maybe they had to borrow your $100 to pay elite. :D
