I bet it's the whipsaw of stocks, bonds, and currencies futures that's killing the fund. In contrast, the energy futures should be doing well for Global Alpha if they trade them. Precisely, it's the flip flop of the interest rate expectation that's causing the whipsaw. My guess is that Global...

I don't see the announcement on the front page anymore... the V2.5 will be delayed? Will it come out in September?

Volatility.

The explanation of trade setups with the psychology behind the trades make this book a keeper. If you are looking for a sure thing or a solid trading system fully revealed, you won't find it here or anywhere else. I've referred to this book many times this year just to refresh myself about...

Trade Plan optimizer, do you mean I can then optimize the portfolio with different money management methods? Or do you mean I can optimize the money management method by stepping through the parameters? Of course, if both strategies and money management methods can be optimized at the same...

I closed my account right after the buyout.

For a few minutes holding period, JDSU will not move 1 cent, and you might not even get fill by bidding and offering. It's easy to get fill by hitting the bid and ask. In short, you will lose money trading this way. I think if you need someone to clear up your questions for you, you are not...

You can't put up money, as far as I know. The buying power depends on your skill, it's reasonable when I was there. Their risk management would be too tight for most people. You can easily get locked out, but I tend to think that the traders should blame it on their skills.

SwiftTrade is always hiring, and they hire almost anyone. No one will tell you how they make money. If you get in SwiftTrade, the senior traders might tell you something, but reserve some techniques for themselves. I would only tell them enough to pass the training. I'm the nice one already...

I think it does, even a 200 period LRC will be different from the 100 period. I understand the your calculations on odds, but LRC also updates itself, so a single one big bar could change the LRC a lot. In hindsight, of course it does bounce the price nicely. Some people think that 30 data...

Thanks Steve, but the test on the regression channel depends on the period you set, and the difference can be big. What's your setting on the 5min chart?

I have the same issue here, and I refuse to trade anything other than the US markets (well, maybe some european futures). Even if my account is denominated in Canadian dollars, will I lose money by constantly exchanging money for each trade? I'm with IB, and I have no idea... Maybe we can...

My friend has just started an IB account, and I want to send him my TWS settings, hotkeys, and quote pages without screwing up his entitlement to trade in other exchanges. Which files should I copy to him? Which file represent the permission to trade in different exchanges? Is there any page on...

Just imagine if you are the owner of that branch, would you rather have it in MK or Central? The renting cost would be so much lower, and probably have better night transportations and easy access to food. If you can trade, you can trade anywhere. If you care about where you work more than how...

Just finished trying it out following the Quick Start Guide. Awesome, a big leap from V1.36. I'm sure I will have other anal requests once I get my hands dirty with it, but so far, the support has been great. At least Murray will offer to help everytime I ask... ggg

You need to change the historical backfill vendor to MB, then it should work fine. QT is a great product.

Why do you have two set of books? I only have one of the books on your list (not into mainstream titles), would be interested to get these books if you could send them to Michigan. What are the conditions of the books? Do they come with the dust jackets?

I understand what you mean fader. Maybe the question of scaling in could be eliminated altogether if the question becomes how to find a better volatility adjusted entry point, so you don't need to scale in again. I have problems with exit, but I don't have any problem with entry, because...

That is called average down. A big no no. Scaling in works best when the first position is in your favor. JMHO.

Supersymmetry doesn't exist right now, no supersymmetry, no string theory. So I don't see how string theory will help to develop an useful system. Maybe I'm missing something...?
