So far this strategy has a cumulative loss of $910 for the month based on $10,000 starting capital.

My problem is that he lied in order to manipulate me and then he threatened me with violence. Does that sound like someone who you would visit as a psychiatrist? Or continue business negotiations with?

Why did he enter into negotiations with me then with respect to my original proposal? (i.e. that I program and provide the indicators for eSignal.) His solution was based on the lie that he owned the name which subsequently turned out not to be true. He duped me into believing that. I had...

This is true... I need to be careful that his "i will hurt you" statement is not intended as physical harm to me. I'll be watching over my shoulder. How does someone like this become a psychiatrist?

There's nothing worse than being falsely accused of something. It's all 100% real: copy and pasted from the emails.

I've just run the following test and come up with the following results: The average gain per week in the DJIA from 1986 to 2005 is 0.205% but if you only look at weeks with expiry Friday's then that gain is 0.326% and if you exclude weeks with expiry Fridays then the gain is 0.195%. (this...

did you see my question "what software do you use for your back testing?" (unless that's a secret...)

Interesting blog. I left you a question there but I'll repeat it here: What software did you use to do your back tests with?

I find your comments here very interesting. I see what I think the medical profession would call something like a psycho-placebo effect (not sure the exact term). What I mean is that the camarilla pivots give you the confidence to trade intuitively and successfully at certain price levels and...

apharris: I have no doubt that you make money using the pivots. What I have done is take a very small corner of what pivots are about and had a look to see if there is a higher probability than would be expected versus randomly selecting pivot areas for a particular type of reversal. I chose...

I agree duard. I was hoping to find a much higher probability tendency and was disappointed myself - actually double checked all the results because I was sure they couldn't be that bad.

I've just done a probability analysis of classic pivots and posted the results here. If I get a chance next weekend I'll try and take the same look at the Camarilla equations and see what sort of numbers I come up with... The analysis of the classic pivots took a bit more time than I was...

I didn't fully understand that question. Are you asking what pivot point software people use? If so, then most charting packages come with built in or add on pivot indicators/studies. You can also calculate them with one of the many calculators on the web or use a spreadsheet and then draw in...

Here is the Market Profile chart from last Friday (10 June 2005) for the ES: [1208.25] D [1208.00] D [1207.75] D [1207.50] D [1207.25] D [1207.00] D [1206.75] D [1206.50] D [1206.25] D [1206.00] D [1205.75] DE [1205.50] DE [1205.25] E [1205.00] E [1204.75] E [1204.50] EFG...

I get the MP data from 2 sources. The first is from looking at an eSignal MP chart. Unfortunately eSignal's MP chart has a bug in it so you have to be careful with it. eSignal say that the bug will be fixed in the next beta version to be released which is good news. So I only use this as a...

Thanks for that excellent and erudite "exlanation" Lefty. Which markets and which pivot formulae have you had success with? What is your "bread and butter" pivot trade? (If you don't mind sharing further knowledge with us.)

They are also called floor pivots and were developed by pit traders. These locals would do these (very simple) calculations and write them down on cards/paper or memorize them before they started trading in the pits each. It gave them resistance/support areas based on the extremes and close of...

Friday: No trades and no singles formed.
