    Is anyone consistently profitable with the ES?

    Interesting that you offer ZERO explanation as to the questions I asked. You are unable to demonstrate any knowledge or offer any brief explanation as why there is anything 'magic' (your words not mine) about the variables. It really is a nonsense. Im not asking for a thesis or documented...

    Is anyone consistently profitable with the ES?

    There is no method that will be consistently profitable. Thats the truth. You can have an 'idea' or an 'ethos' or a standard approach, but you have to work it into the sentiment and ever changing context. And that means a whole lot more than adjusting stops and targets for volatility. If you...

    Is anyone consistently profitable with the ES?

    LOL And there you have it folks. The holy grail. Is this some kind of joke? Im surprised you can be bothered spending the time to type this. The poor guy is asking for help and he gets this! A child with basic understanding of sd and statistics can see that this is BS - or any such system...

    Spread Trade System Backtesting?

    SeasonAlgo.com Im blown away by the functionality. It has the ability to specify any spread, select any date, and then it gives the results with full breakdown, equity curve etc. There is also an optimizer, but I havent looked at it yet as personally, Im not a big fan of curve fitting.

    Alibaba (BABA) starts trading Friday.

    now $88-$90 is the estimate. Someone tweeted a marketable limit for a bag of shares at $199 - some Dennis Dick?? Gotta love the hype.

    Alibaba (BABA) starts trading Friday.

    Perhaps the longer it takes is indicative of the number of orders looking to get filled? My guess this will sink like a stone at the open. Im usually wrong so expect a rally :)

    Alibaba (BABA) starts trading Friday.

    Waiting for the market maker to square his book up - with the flood of orders taht may take time. BBG report says they are in no hurry to open this issue. Could be in 10mins or 2 hrs. Take your pick. Trading is waiting.

    Seasonals and Spread Trading

    Seasonals and Spread Trading

    Fair points, but do you have any suggestions on how to quantify a potentially good seasonal from a not so good one other than developing a deep fundamental knowledge - which is difficult if trading several complexes as you point out. Maybe I'm over complicating the matter - and it is as simple...
