Seems the next big question is why would IB make such a substantial policy change without timely informing their customers. Maybe they thought you wouldn't notice?

Damn 6, you know your shit! wish we had more people like you around :)

oh what the hell... subbed....on the basis that your 10/5/11 SP and XGLD predictions appear pretty close to how the market unfolded...

Wow you just ripped Jack a new one. I've seen this post many times before and each time it gets funnier and funnier. I know you shouldn't feed trolls but I'm throwing you a steak and lobster dinner.

"managing a core position" is simply a fancy term for averaging down on losers where the net result is that your losers are larger than your winners.....don't believe me?........ask volente.....

Backtesting is only a very small part of the equation: BACKTESTING TO UNCOVER POTENTIAL EDGES -> FORWARD TESTING -> SIMULATED TRADING TO WORK OUT THE KINKS -> LIVE TRADING WITH VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF MONEY -> REAL MONEY TRADING -> INCREASE SIZE WITH THE MARKET'S MONEY = WINNING EVERY TIME...

long term plays called in advance with stops...subbed. Nice journal.

I'll make it easy for you..how about a measly $50K. I'll show my account statements and you show yours. We can discuss the details.

Of course the academics who can't trade their way out of a paper bag don't believe edges exist...which is great for me because I certainly won't try to convince them.

took me 12 years to find a consistently reliable, profitable, and practical edge...The key is being able to properly analyze when you have a good edge and when you just have fools gold. The ability to write computer programs helps too.

I'm not familiar with the software but try replacing Close[0] with "High[0] >=". You will also need a low trigger such as "Low[0] <="

You're assuming he has an edge... Anyway, Neke is not going to listen to any of the sage advice that has been posted numerous times on his threads which is why his account continues to fall into the abyss. Heck, I posted this back in '09 when Neke's account was around 240K...

Pretty nice thread offering some solid commenting....subbed.

Man I must have been high when I wrote my previous post with all the spelling errors. Edit: This thread is Epic Funny...especially the comment by piezoe on page 2. I almost choked on my coffee from laughter. On a serious note though (....I don't know shit about jack hershey's method...

Shanb, It looks like your problem might be that you do not have a good edge (or any edge at all for that matter...). I suspect that your "mentors" do not really want to divulge what their "true edge" is....and why should they? I have an edge that would make you crap your pants but I wouldn't...

This trade is Epic Funny...especially the comment by piezoe on page 2. I almost choked on my coffee from laughter. On a serious note though (....I don't know shit about jack hershey's method nor care too for that matter. I just like to read threads about JH because they tend to be the...

There are a few more options I can think of. Since futures require little money to get going... 1. Work until you build your funds back up to trade your own account. Keep your day job and trade whenever you can. 2. Approach friends / family / acquaintances / investors and see if they...

Madoff was good at selling too...Look where that got him... Focus on building up your own capital and improving your strategies to trade your own money. Other than that you can go the prop firm route.

Damn you beat me to it!
