Do you also know why that happened in 1938? Why were Jews hated so much in Germany at that time? There were many reasons that usually aren't fully explained in today's history books. I will point out just one: Jewish Boycott of Germany This front page of the UK newspaper Daily Express...

Here is the solution: The customer takes his $100 and pays back $90 principal and $10 interest. So the bank made $10 off interest and can spend that money into the economy. Now the customer, a respected plumber, performs services for the bank worth $10. So the costumer can pay back the...

Makes you wonder why people still have these "failings" after so many thousand years of evolution. Looks like these traits do, or at least did, more good than harm. Greed is good, you know the speech. If our ancestors were happy with everything and had no desire for the better, we would still...

1.6GHz is just the idle frequency to save power. i7-720QM will clock 2.4GHz with two cores on load, and 2.8GHz with one core on load. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Turbo_Boost A new i7-720QM will be much faster than the old 2.6GHz Core 2 Duo, even at lower frequencies because the...

This might be an interesting read for you... Source: http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/israel/freedman.htm World War I broke out in the summer of 1914. Nineteen-hundred and fourteen was the year in which World War One broke out. There are few people here my age who remember that...

I'm still running the same strats but I don't trade smaller than 5min. My average time in a trade is about 2hrs. It's certainly easier that way. I know for fact it requires exponentially more time and money to trade the smaller timeframes. From your posts, it seems you are using 1min ES data...

Then discard that best case immediately because your place in the queue will be very bad if you cancel, resubmit or modify your orders every minute. Yes, I am 100% automated but my trades are from 5 minutes to 5 hours.

Just to clear up, how are you backtesting then? Are you waiting for last traded price to go through your limits? Are you using L2 and T&S data to simulate the order queue? Because as you should know, these are the main issues when backtesting at this timeframe.

Now you talk about stops only. If you can't answer that simple question, you aren't even clear about the basics and not ready to exchange advanced ideas IMO. Do you use a lot of limit orders? Then just look at your orders and look at your ES data. Do you assume a fill at the high/low of bars?

Did you assume a fill if last traded price just touched your limit without going through? I hope the answer is not "yes, always". If it is, then what you did is BS.

I think you are some Brandonf type marketing genius. On your blog, you said you have been a successful trader for over 30 years. And what are you doing now? You are hosting an "electronic virtual room" like Alex Wasilewski and charge 5k for 3 weeks. Makes perfect sense.

We can't use this to determine if the next closing price will be higher or lower than the current closing price. We can just compare price changes. If the next change will be greater than let's say -30, it could still be -15 and price drops again. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't...

IB's quote servers are mktgw1.ibllc.com mktgw1.ibllc.com.hk mktgw1.ibllc.ch and order servers are gw1.ibllc.com (and gw2.ibllc.com etc.) gw1.ibllc.com.hk gw1.ibllc.ch IB seems to have "bad" latency for US futures because gw1.ibllc.com pings 40ms from Chicago. Unless you can use...

To find out what hardware you have... - in the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), double click on the unknown device - go to Details and look up the Device Instance ID - it will say something like PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10D3 - enter your PCI vendor code (like 8086), device code (10D3) at...

How would you like Palestinian commando soldiers hijacking an entire civilian fleet heading to Tel Aviv? In international waters, under the false pretense of suspected smuggling? While in reality the plan always was to hijack all ships heading to Tel Aviv, no matter what cargo they...

Was this agreement properly implemented?

If you approach civilian ships in international waters, board and hijack them like pirates, then of course YOU ARE THE ATTACKER because you are acting grossly illegal, you are the terrorist. You may think it is all right for the Zionists, who believe in preemptive attacks and conquering...

If you attack civilian ships in international waters, by forcefully boarding and hijacking them, and kill several international aid workers in the process, YOU ARE THE TERRORIST. Only morally bankrupt scum like you defends mass murder.

Latest buzz is about several online banking websites announcing maintenance for this weekend. One says ATM machines will also be affected. Probably just some kind of patch day. https://www.ksk-koeln.de/Sicherheit_Warnmeldungen.aspx https://www.dab-bank.de/meinedabbank/login.app.html...

Let's say you sold 20 ES to hedge your stocks worth $1 mill, so your intraday maintenance margin is 45k. Only some stocks had these weird 0.01 prints but not all. Your hedge should have some open position profit in case of a market crash. I think your scenario is extremely unlikely. Not...
