    Stops

    That's the price you pay for reduced risk in the markets. I witnessed this with trading Russell 2000 futures a while back.....boy, all of the losses can make you crazy ! I think in a 3 month period of time, I only had 25% winners. That being said, I still broke even. Good luck with going...

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    I don't dispute that. I am guessing the above strategy will win only 30% of the time at the best and likely not to be profitable. Reasons: frequent losses due to tight stop and using a fixed profit target....which eliminates any big wins. The age old issue with systems trading is: how to...

    Firefox 9 - 100% CPU consumption

    FF10 running well...no crashes...and CPU is at least contained now. It does spike to 50% sometimes, but only briefly. However, that's to be expected....I've got 8 windows, and 35 tabs open !

    Scalping ES - how many ticks?

    Can someone please backtest this and we can put it to rest ? Use a Donchian entry to get in (use 200 tick bars) - 4 higher highs in a row to go long, 4 lower lows to go short. Exit rules: 3 tick stop order to take profits 2 tick stop loss order Then try the same with a RANDOM ENTRY. If...

    Help!!! How to find a good girl?

    Interesting commentary all. CNBC had an online dating special report on last night. One of the scenes was about the huge amount of data collected by these sites and how they determined from data mining that a guy 5'9" tall would have to make $40k more per year than a guy 5'10" tall to be as...

    IB – How to contact to go flat when the internet goes down?

    Dude - get 2 UPS backups for your router & switch and computer. If your FIOS or CABLE is above ground, flatten your positions BEFORE the storm hits.

    ron baron says equities are in "less than the 1st inning NO outs!!!!

    I don't dispute this and if this becomes true, there are a lot of options selling strats out there that will make you rich. What we are portraying here is a sideways market for interest rates....for a long period of time. Only fly in the ointment is a big European recession which will affect US...

    ron baron says equities are in "less than the 1st inning NO outs!!!!

    No way.....if the market even "smells" there's an upcoming rate raise, LOOK OUT BELOW FOR EQUITIES. This market is hypersensitive to rates now. I watch TBT ETFs every day for a proxy for the 10 Year Bond rate. It appears the bottom is in re: rates.

    Help! These breakouts are killing me

    Great advice, but tough to implement: You want to be closing out profitable positions LATE (some give-back) and losing positions EARLY (prevent even more losses). Do the reverse, and the market will take you out of the trading business in no time flat.

    What is the easiest tool to start creating strategies ?

    Tradestation was the original platform which enabled RAD of strategies....you could write and test them literally in minutes. Multicharts is the successor. You've got to be able to program however.

    What is the easiest tool to start creating strategies ?

    wow - using graphics and visuals to create a trading strat ? Sounds cool, but I don't see how it can be done actually. Anyone ?

    Firefox 9 - 100% CPU consumption

    Really ? I have 7 windows open, each with about 5 tabs on the average. 400 megs used. Seems my Flash plugin has a problem....it shows "crashed" in several tabs.

    Firefox 9 - 100% CPU consumption

    After updating one of the plug-ins (Java), CPU consumption now has fallen considerably. Also, it may be that long sessions are not good for Firefox...i.e. it needs to be restarted from time-to-time....like daily...even for Version 10.
