We seem to have a situation here where the following is occurring: Take short term gains. Allow losses to accumulate long term, hopefully to be covered by the short term gains in the short term, and in the long term hopefully the market will retrace and our long term losses will turn into...

I think it is a fundamental assumption of this system that the sum of the back and forth movements is always greater than the sum of the straight line moves. Even if a market went 4500 pips in one direction, I would be willing to bet that it did more than 9000 pips of back and forth movement...

One honest question: How many of the lines on your charts were drawn in realtime and without the benefit of hindsight? In other words, how many of those lines were drawn while the chart was at the far right of the screen?

How did you come up with this? Also, you mentioned at some point this might change, can you talk about what will cause you to change the trade ticket percent?

I have tried to stay out of this discussion but have to jump in here. Drawing trendlines can be turned into a mechanical exercise. I've heard several people say they are open to interpretation, user discretion, etc., however I have coded up autotrendlines based on definite rules. They draw the...

You are correct. No I haven't seen any mention of encryption on the TWSAPI list either. In fact I'd have to say that as far as encryption is concerned I know virtually nothing and after a quick search of that list don't see anything that could help you in this matter. Sorry not to be of more...

There are several programs with full source code that do this same thing in various different ways, including one I wrote for VB6 that can be found in the files section of the TWSAPI list, a list that I help moderate: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/TWSAPI/ Other utilities in that...

This topic has been debated before and will be debated again. But I don't think the topic's original question is the right one. I think the better question would be, if 10 others started competing with me by trading my same size at my prices would this impact my results? In other words how...

Read the book Pit Bull by Marty Schwartz. You will read a story near the end where Schwartz trades OPM, and nearly kills himself from all the stress. Not suicide, but he is literally dying in the hospital from all the stress he put on himself for results. The book is a good read for other...

The machine that always has more in profits at the end of the day has been sprayed by some intoxicating gambler perfume/pheromone.

After supplying such a superb explanation, I believe a blow by blow photo history is in order. :D

The answer is simple. Someone is skimming profits. The most reasonable explanation is that the casino is a "family" run operation in the tradition of the mafia movies that depict casinos being owned/run by the mafia. As everyone knows, the mafia skims profits at the expense of the company and...

I just noticed. Anyone know if this is the first week this went into effect? I totally missed this one. http://www.cme.com/prd/overview_ES702.html

Perhaps it is time for someone to popularize a trading method known as NR7 soup? Or maybe we just keep this little observation to ourselves?

:D :D

Also, trade without stops - stops are for looser traders .

Black swan is actually part of the UBER strategy of no loose trading. Just keep adding during a black swan and you are bound to not loose!!!

Sure to be 7 years of bad luck!

Yes, purely bad luck and guaranteed not to be repeated again.

And make sure you trade with one of those brokers who has $1K daytrading margins so you can always maintain the maximum leverage out of your account.
