Decent results, but I'm wondering if you used all the rules introduced in spider's journal applied to the volume rules on jack's 1 page, I havn't traded the method all those years, but I think the return would be higher. There are other simple methods out there trading higher liquidity...

That's the one. ROR is about 12-15% a year with max DD about 1/2 or 1/3 of max DD of SPY. You can do better if you use a better measurement of performance over simple % gain and employ leverage. Nothing like JH equities, but less monitoring and instructions can be sent sunday each evening...

Read Faber's book. Asset rotation and the principles are very similar to the JH stock method of rotating into the highest velocity money makers.

I know Jack is not advocating strict CANSLIM, but it would be worth any individual investors time to check out the performance of AAII's CANSLIM models over the last 10 + years. I still think asset rotation is easier but CANSLIM works and so do other strategies based on relative strength of...

I read the thread and a few posters had good advice who have already been pointed out. I will go in order of potential returns/effort involved 1) Search for relative strength rotation of asset classes. EDIT: Actually, as I think about where you are at in your life now, I cannot stress this...

Depends on your timeframe, but here's an idea... Let's say you trade on daily timeframe. Find the stocks with a 5 day range that is considerably lower than the average 5 day range over the last year. Enter on a breakout in a pullback setup <=5 bars. Do not enter short in stocks that...

Bump.

Hi everyone, I have been working some time to improve a method I trade. It seems it benefits from the use of range bars adjusted to 1/2 the ATR. I read through the definition of range bars to make sure I wasn't peeking at any data. I am using 5 minute intervals and set my range to well...

Do not trade noise. Noise can be defined as the ratio of the range of one timeframe / the ratio of the range of another. When the ratio is high/low averaged over an interval, it will tell you all you need to know.

Hi all, Is there a way to degap charts with tradestation? Thank you.

I dropped methods that took me years to develop in favor of simpler methods that took me less than one week. Now, I enter with the simple methods, and sometimes extend the trade when it coincides with the methods I learned in the beginning. Best of both worlds... very easy management for...

Give me a symbol, I'll make a live call for you using fibos. I won't guarantee the fibs are the %s others use, just that I'll do it realtime and take a stop if I'm wrong :).

Quoted overnight rate at CY about 8% right now vs IB @ 1.6%.

Maybe im stating the obvious, but what does what you feel or you getting pissed off have to do with the market? It always does what its supposed to...

Nobody is stopping you from earning money and giving it away.The only thing you take is that which you decide to take. The only limitations you have are the ones you place on yourself. This isn't about beating the market. It is about knowing yourself. In fact, that is first and foremost...

You are doing a tremendous disservice to yourself with such negative thoughts. At this point I have a feeling you are waiting for someone to react to you. Since some parts of your posts were serious I conclude you are still struggling to make this your full time gig. You think you will...

Coulda woulda shoulda. I am not sure if you are serious or not, but for your own sake, I send you good thoughts so that you might get your mind right. All the best.

If this is your attitude, money will always be fleeting in your life. I wish you the best, but you have to know that you deserve money. If you don't magnetize your mind to attract it, how do you expect to bring it into your life? If you condemn money, you are surely to set your...

For anyone reading this thread and wondering why they cant achieve their backtested returns, I urge you to consider something I have recently found with my own trading: I noticed a huge discrepancy between my trading and backtesting that took me months to figure out. I would test a method and...

Thank you for the chart. Would you be able to explain your count by any chance? I do not understand the annotations...
