One more thing, always initiate a scalp or two right before major economic reports as this is the time when you have the best opportunity to really rack up the points.

All you need to do to increase your profitability is to increase your size. Fear not and trade large.

I don't think your problem is cookes, though after going through a hacker attack the paranoia is hard to avoid, and in some cases is fully justified. A good free virus scanner: http://www.grisoft.com A good free software firewall to get a handle on outgoing connections. It also blocks...

No, even the commision free / slippage free version hasn't got enough profitability to make the opposite system worthwhile.

Yes the system is a dog. It is really an elementary whipsaw type system that has very low level logic. Now the question I ask you, Hypostomus is if your intent for posting this thread is to prove that Jack don't know Jack, or to develop profitable ideas out of Jack-like conepts? I ask because...

Step 1: Figure for the angle of the line you wish to draw using the formula that was given. Angle = y/x (rise/run). Step 2: Insert the x value that you wish to solve for. You should know this value as it is how far in the future (or the past) you wish to project the line. Take into account...

Michael, I haven't read every post on this thread but I have been following it with great interest. I have been spending my time retooling my swing system and rereading the posts in that thread to see what wisdom I could gain. I think your system is similar to my system in some ways and...

I would say that is the definition of a "great" system, not a good one, depending on what the definition of "works" is. The logical fallacy is that some people read this and then say, oh then a system that doesn't work in all markets must be a "bad" system. My definition of a good system...

me too xx :D :D

There is more than enough good advice here that is hitting all around the mark and is very useful for reflection. But, without more information it is hard to really know where you are at. Some have suggested that in fact it may be that the system is in a normal drawdown. It should be easy to...

How's that for a cliffhanger? Now we will all have to imagine what happens to our fearless trading hero. Will tampa manage to repair his LCDs with scotch tape? Will the bake sale turn out to be a success? (Will the wife die of arsenic laced brownies? ) Will the wife catch on to tampa's...

Yet another reason to switch to Mozilla Firefox. I'm glad I did.

ART - did you really read the whole post? Let me highlight the part you ignored. The point is that this "discovery" or "evidence" or "lack of evidence" will not change anyone's point of view whether they believe in Noah's Ark or not. Which I believe is the same point you are trying to make...

If it is not Noah's Ark, then the believers will make rationalizations to minimize the importance of the finding and to justify their beliefs. If it is Noah's Ark then the non-believers will make rationalizations to minimize the importance of the finding and to justify their beliefs.

So I take it you're not system trading any time soon?

If your logic holds, then would the opposite necessarily be true? "If you think you have an edge, then you do."

LOL :eek: :D Funny, and that just about sums it up perfectly. Clearly some people have too much time on their hands.

All the names on my ignore list are the same annoying person!!!

Yes caveat emptor. Regardless of what others think of traderbrad's ethics, he has no contractual responsibility to give back any of the money. The ironic thing is that traderbrad probably used Samson's money to buy advertisements on ET, though I see that traderbrad is now no longer an advertiser...

Not impossible but not easy either. Essentially when you trade one of these types of systems you become a scalper. Yes you may have the ability to automate your system. However if you are not manually making sure all is going according to plan then I can't see how a system with such a small...
