I would take a look at Green Trader Tax at http://www.greencompany.com/HedgeFunds/index.shtml They have several articles linked with a lot of information that may help you. Their "Incubator hedge funds" looked interesting to me as a way to start a fund. You can also search ET for...

Yep, I hear ya... From my notebook of thoughtful quotes found on the web that I agree with: Recently described in a book titled "Mean Markets and Lizard Brains" by Burnham; he describes the natural desire to find patterns where no pattern exists. Building a 'superstition' around signal...

At the end of the day you will have results that are only backfitted to the data series. There is nothing in Amp, phase or frequency that will help you trade the next bar. Any research to the contrary would be great news however... Have you had success applying signal processing...

To patent a trading method you would have to have a method or approach that is not 'prior art' (common practice/public domain). Within 18 months of filing your final patent, the full application is published for everyone to read. You can avoid the patent process and keep your method/approach...

Why would having a patent application, or having an actual patent, or several patents have anything to do with registering as a CTA? Thank you,

Open a forex acount with www.oanda.com. There is no fixed position size for each trade as there is when trading futures contracts. You can trade as small as 10 cents a pip, and then increase lot size as you learn how to trade. Oanda has an excellent trade simulator so you can also start...

I don't think it is important to 'get the ego out of trading'. Ego can serve as the 'self-aware' balance between the intellect and the instinctive part of the brain and a good thing for a trader. There are several articles and published studies on the workings of the brain in times of...

There is nothing in the Nova program that is not in the book or available from other sources on the web. However, I enjoyed seeing the faces of key individuals and hearing them describe key LTCM events in their own words during the interviews. The one thing that was disappointing to me...

Nova aired a very good overview of what happened to LTCM titled "Trillion Dollar Bet". Some good background and very good interviews of several key LTCM figures. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/stockmarket/ The transcript of the program is on the site with other LTCM related info. I called...

I agree. The major purpose of the True Strength Indicator seems to be to help accurately identify the major and minor pivots. I would say that Livermore's "Natural Reaction and Natural Rally" are similar to minor pivots, and "Up trend & Down trend" in Livermore approach are similar to major...

makosgu, thanks for the posts. Here is another price action thread that was posted on ET some time ago. Someone has created a state machine of Jesse Livermore's approach to trading. The supporting Tradestation code is a good example of how to implement a hh-hl price action strategy or...

True, full disclosure is the price you pay for a patent. Within 18 months of the actual, not provisional, application being filed, the patent is 'published' on the Patent and Trademark site. Notice the PTO search page is divided into two parts, the patents that have been 'granted' and...

Thank you, I think it was you who said in a recent post that it was important to 'test, test, test' your trading system. Am I mistaken? How do you backtest to identify when 'the trade is over with profits or the figures are proven incorrect'? Thanks again,

Yesterday I attended a web seminar by Interactive Brokers titled "How to Become a CTA". I thought it was a very good overview from 3 different presenters. They promised to place all of the slides on their site by next week ( but only 1 set so far, I just checked). The email addresses I am...

How often do you calculate new levels of resistence/support? Why not every day? Thank you,

Hi Runningbear, I like my gmail, but it may not be the best place to save secure info like account information. You might consider http://www.hushmail.com/ they offer the ability to apply 2048 bit encryption to any message using PGP. Bottom line is that nobody is going to get to your...

I use Excel with a new file for each month. I use the worksheet tabs at the bottom of the page for days of the month. The first tab is a summary of the month's activity. The summary page shows equity curves of each account and all activity at a glance. The weekend days are used for...

You are right, my mistake. You are trading 100 shares of DIA.
