Consistently bad that is... http://www.thereformedbroker.com/2014/05/28/brokers-liquid-alts-and-the-fund-that-never-goes-up/ Look Ma, no profits!

I rather add a new position then a new layer to an existing position. New positions are fresh signals and they have the same synthetic benefit as adding risk. I don't walk on water though so take that into account....

Pure attention grabbing on my part here...but we pretty much hit this QTR A up today at 1920. We popped 60 handles after my ES 30 day confirm. :)

Nope.

This is not directed at you, but this is the shit that makes people never want to back traders. I've said this before, if traders spent half the time working on their edge as they do trying to get around rules, they would be far more successful. It reminds me of thieves who put more work...

No, I meant it was stupid to have some arbitrary number like 2. Either offer no free combines which will force traders to get their shit together or just keep it unlimited. By offering 2 free combines I think they are just delaying the inevitable. If a trader can't follow the rules, get...

Man I'm off my game. I completely forgot about the fukushima correction and then of course the flash crash. God damn, we've had so many selloffs since 2008 I can't even remember them all. :) But SIV, the OP is right, if we go back and remove ALL the corrections and selloffs from the data...

This is by far the best site I know of and one of my favs: http://bespokeinvest.typepad.com/

Calculate your % of equity you want to risk. Determine based on A levels where you want your stop to be. Take the equity level and divide by the A level stop and then round down to the nearest contract level.

ACD is dynamic and very sensitive to change. When volatility contracts, the effect ripples across all the levels. Since the daily ranges are getting smaller, the A values contract. This causes the opening range levels to tighten. The weekly and monthly levels contract. The pivots get...

Regarding other avenues of funding, you could give this a look: http://www.fundseeder.com/ I should note that this model is not anything new and in the past I've never heard good things about it, however at least there is a real recognizable name behind it. I haven't read the fine print...

I just go through all my spreadsheets, look for the +4/-4 days, pull up the charts and look at the follow through.

This is from their website: What happens if I struggle as a funded trader? ← Futures Funded Trader A funded trader can opt for the Redevelopment Opportunity and they will receive two complimentary 10-Day Combines. Details will be discussed with each funded trader. I think that's...

God it's like a beating up a handicapped kid. Once you become funded and VIOLATE the drawdown rule (the topic at hand) you get sent back to the combine. At this point though, TST earns ZERO revenues on this move. They have ZERO incentive to do this. Hence the reason I dispelled any...

You obviously did not read my post thoroughly. I stated "funded", not sim. As a sim trader with jr status who is waiting to get funded, TST earns ZERO revenues. You can't collect commissions on sim trading huckleberry. Or can you! :D

I don't use it or like it. In fact, several years back when I compiled some data on it, it appeared as though the trade was actually a very reliable fade. In other words, if AAPL made a late day C up today, get short on the close and cover the next day at the A down. Seemed to work like...

Your cryptic speak is really cute but this statement has nothing to do with your thesis which seems to jump all over the place. Despite your obvious failed attempt at data mining, you still come up short. So you say nothing else matters since 2008. Well why did "they" let the market drop...

Trilogic, if you honestly have an ACD related question, just ask it. When I said I didn't understand your question, I actually meant that I did not understand your question. My resume is all over this message board. Probably to my detriment. And of course you know what I'm going to say...

My point was simply that TST has nothing to gain from having the drawdown requirement in the live account. So there must be some other reason why it's there other then financial gain. I would suspect, and this is just me, that a problem that must be occurring is having guys who spent way to...

Trilogic, you come to this thread asking questions. Which I encourage completely. You make some effort to learn about the method, watch the videos. All that is great. I take time out of my day to help answer those questions which I actually enjoy doing oddly enough. Then you attack me...
