I have been testing gamma scalping recently and as usual, reality is at many times different than the idea. While the subject is not new, I believe there is "still grey" area regarding this technique. That`s why I am posting few more questions: 1. In many cases small adjustments do not...

No brother. Unfortunately, many of them have no english web sites yet. I import data from local brokerage services and convert them to Global Server (ASCII). Let me know if You need more insights.

Believe or not, but Eastern European Markets seem to be very trader friendly. I just started position trading contract in Poland, the only one with sufficient liquidity. Not enough for daytrading though.

This one is the best, but why quarter ? :confused:

Impressive. Very. But... how do You trade ? I understand not paying attention to the screen ?

Aaron , that`s much more than I expected. Thank You so much.

Does anybody know any link to CPO funds ranking lists ? Searching through all those available Webs give me very little results so far. Any tips appreciated.

profitseer, where is the rest of the report ?

How do Your brokers calculate margins buying long and selling short vertical spreads ? I`m curious whether these calculations may be different.

Al, I trade myself also T-Bonds, and their correlation to inflation figures make sense. But what`s the idea of ge/msft (except trading in one boat related to broad index) ? I know that market is a living organism and has no respect to any logic, however, can create things which can vanish...

Neutral_Al , You are right about that. The only problem is that You never know when this correlation stops working. Many of them live for 2-3 years period, some much longer.

Anytime I hear a new name of old thing (spread trading in this case) I wonder how long it will exist. There are correlations. It`s nothing new. But very few of them are reliable. Even fewer of them make any money.

Well, we are talking about extremists anyway :D

I`m pasting this post from Chit Chat, where we were talking about this some time ago: " It`s quite clear. In regular job they can make a lot of fake moves. In trading the truth is naked. They are good mostly in office politics. But I don`t get that political BS that they are more...

Mohead, 1. You don`t have to develop the system, but You really need good knowledge to know the chances of winning. 2. To start with the tests first You need detailed analysis (like the one from TS2000i). Does Your broker can show You that ? If not, I wouldn`t bother. But if he can, there...

Prox, You would not believe how many logical ideas bring only dissapointments once are put into backtesting. But I`ll try to do that, and I`ll let You know what making -a-buck chances are.

The old rule for trading systems says: never change while You`re in acceptable DD. Changing strategies is the best way to bancrupcy (discipline is the most important in systematic trading)

We tested many strategies and indicators (including the ones developed by us) in a sense of trend strength recognition. By that experience we found no very reliable patterns or indicators doing this. You deal with statistics like with any other aspect of trading. There is some percentage of...

I do too. My daughter is in business with me already. Never pushed her too much though. In the beginning she was not interested. As more she was familiar with corporate reality, started turning around, so now we are in the same boat. The other fellow is now 14 months, so he has ways to go.
