It would not make much difference for me. I was just looking at the YM and thinking how I would feel at this point if I was manually trading or automating the same strategy... if it was automated I would be saying, "wow, reversed the position a few times, so far it's breaking even or slightly...

I feel that it was retribution for the complaint. It happened right after that. In all honesty, the happiest times of my life were 1)before I had credit or 2) after I ruined it and before I reestablished it, it's twice for that one now :D I don't know why, it's just one less thing to think...

Strategies that are in the market all the time don't have stops at all except maybe disaster stops or end of session. I'm favoring that approach and feel that probably it is the best overall. Maybe all the questions about stops and the great difficulties encountered by many traders are really...

I googled my name [the real one] and came up with a really horrible myspace video!! Numbers don't pull up anything... It does not pay to piss off bureaucrats or bankers btw... I publicly complained about a bank on a site that would send a letter to a CEO and post a complaint.... the bank...

I was running Openquant, the Solution Explorer window was undocked, I had to shut the program down and could not get it to shut down, it was not responding, so I had to shut off the power to the computer. I think there might have been a conflict between Openquant and an automatic backup...

Go grab their truck or something and hold it hostage... most of the slow and no pay folks are either chronic or getting ready to fold without telling anybody typically... I worked for a company that got bought by some horrible American company, next thing we knew payroll was cheating us and...

Obama will get lots of female votes, the internet conservatives can bypass the media and tell people that he really is the most leftist senator in the US and a Neo-Marxist with race resent problems and possibly unstable really, and get democrats to vote for McCain, who is left of democrat center...

I don't think most traders on ET are involved in OTC stuff. It seems to be a little world unto itself really.

Do your own due diligence folks...... always :p

Once a trend gets under way the bigger players HAVE TO jump on the train, what are they going to do with all their client's money, sit on the sidelines and try to explain it to their clients? The more the trend lasts, and if liquidity is there for the biggest players, well then everybody is...

Heck yeah, just ask him!!

And your point is?

It's the Mexicans, they are as racist as the Blacks. Just on a personal note here, I beat some old black bag out of a parking space the other day, it almost makes up for all the riots and burned cities.......... NOT!

Automation baby, it can take an awful lot longer to go profitable but the mindset....... priceless...

McCain has an advantage in that the Republicans got the primary over with quickly and he can switch to his centrist campaigning way before Obama can lean a little to the right. Currently McCain is way ahead of Obama but it is narrowing and who knows where it will go......... still, I think that...

Dang, the price is right on that stuff.. thanks much. For curiosity's sake once a long time ago, I looked at the DJIA for 1932, I found some daily data... it was system tradeable, it looked like a thinly traded stock but nonetheless!! I take comfort in that when I think about economic disaster...

That is really funny. Actually America is quite racist, Blacks in the US are incredibly race oriented and their leadership seems to tend towards paranoia as well. We need to work on that.. oh wait, if we fix that problem the Democratic party will be like the Viet Cong after the Tet...

Getting data out of IB is like pulling hen's teeth. I found that I can use free Ninjatrader and make an account setting for Opentick and get tons of data. For the YM, the instrument of interest here currently, it looks to be fine. From Ninjatrader you can output it in .csv format and import it...

Probably wikipedia has a tutorial level article on Renko, I was looking at one on P&F just last night and it had links to stockcharts.com and everything...

so......... they will be moving a little in the direction of martingaling possibly? I wonder how many once in a hundred years events per month this new breed of hedgies will be able to fend off............
