The technology I am using allows me to show nice pictures of trades taken. There is no edge per se here. As far as testing is concerned, it's a long story, but basically it is a mechanized implementation of some setup that a friend of mine has been using for quite a while. We backtested it...

This is not programmed. I am using Sierrachart for signals and then I input them by hand into SR.

#2 I hope the pic gets attached this time...

#2: PL=-3.5 pts Total PL=2-3.5 pts It was a very poor entry and it was obvious to me at the time I put this trade on. One of the very important conditions for the entry was barely met resulting in the entry's low quality. Nevertheless, I decided not to use discretion for the purpose of...

Only hard stops, the max being 3.5 pts. It's a volatility based stop. It gets adjusted though based on strict mechanical rules.

Thanks for your encouragement, guys... Trade #2 to follow. When this month is over, I will post the monthly brokerage statement and the past results for any further analysis. At this point they are of not much use anyway. It's better to concentrate on live trading.

#1: PL=+2 pts Total PL= 2 pts

I have moved a part of my funds to a new broker to protect myself better from the future malfunctioning of the IB servers. At this new broker I am using Strategy Runner Lite as my trading platform. I decided to spend this month on testing both the platform and the technical support by trading...

Nothing beats a half period moving average, nothing... trust me. I swear on gaussians, fractals and iterations! Did I miss anything out that would possibly make it even less intelligent?

Really? That's kinda sad... I thought that Babak was the only one to actually figure the whole thing out. Are you saying, it's because he figured it out that he is no longer welcome here? I hope this will not become a trend in our society. Unless of course the senile take it over completely...

Simple works, care to tell us more about your method?

Good job, AR. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Obviously, they are waiting for my 4 ES contracts to start the avalanche that will take SP down to 800... or something...:D :D Things like that are commonly known under the name of the butterfly effect. That's the chaos theory. It helps sell books on trading strategies that have nothing to...

I agree, I even prefer it this way as it's simply easier to choose your entry point. It's pretty hard to do this with YM and ER2 because there are just too many ticks... That's good for a scalper, but for others not necessarily so.

I think that 2% and a $100 a month is more realistic at least to begin with. That's still $10,000 a month and that's pretty good money. BTW, what's IP? Intellectual Property?

I always wondered if there is limit to how much BS one can put in a single post. After reading some posts in this thread, I believe now that such a limit does not exist. BTW, I have already made 100 ES pts today. I accomplished that by splitting the ticks and slaloming between fractions of...

How the hell do you know this? You don't... You are just one of those people who so much like to ridicule others. How about starting a more transparent thread: I am such a great guy because I have never had any problem in my life and everybody else is a dimwit... Now go back to trading...

I would like to see this too, out of curiousity...

That's very important. I keep saying the same: you need to have your entry and exit defined very clearly so you have no doubts or else you will be taking trades that you should not be taking... That obviously leads to rather few trades but that's fine as long as you are profitable and enjoy it...

Well, people do get frightened by various things, but if you do not want to center this on zero you can always add some positive constant to shift it up, so that you can have positive values, but the thing will still be inverted. That all depends on your software... What do I care... I am...
