I'm surprised there are so few traders that have made over a million in a year. With a sample of 16,000 and 1% of the general population having a net worth over a mill., that would imply at least 160 millionaires on this board. Because of the way trading works, I would have expected to see at...

There's enough info. on the website to raise a red flag. Anybody notice the results on the Tradestation report? No commission and slippage...each trade was 5 emini's. The initial ave. trade of $263/5 emini's = 52.60 - 5.00 comm. - 25.00 for slippage of one tick each side = 22.60 per R/T...

I voted for USA to win. I'm a little biased though...I was in the military years ago. Here's a little ditty for the military minded. http://www.richstevens.com/flash/time2.swf

I found 4 things that gave me pause. 1). Only two years of backtesting. I'd like to see it tested back to 1996 using SP data. 2). Adjusted Total Net Profit was negative. I've developed profitable systems. None of them showed losses when this stress test is applied. 3). Average time...

Suppose you had an idea for a trading method. To find out if it had any validity you'd probably create a set of rules and backtest the idea. Even if the results look good, how do you know it's worth pursuing? One idea is to test each variable for correllation and dependency. For example...

Thanks, what did you use to write the book?

The only thing I noticed about the market lately is a lack of followthrough (worst since 1985). I made a adjustment at the end of last month by putting on targets and increasing my size per-trade to 2%from .5%. So far this week I'm up over 12% and I've been done everyday by noon. Today was...

Right now a bear key reversal is forming up for the day in the SP. I don't know how reliable the pattern is, but I don't think anyone has considered it a bullish continuation signal.

No, it's a daytrading edge only. I don't have anything that does swing trading.

"How are settlement prices be determined on the last business day of each month? Settlement prices for domestic stock index futures and options are determined on the basis of their fair value, i.e., by reference to the closing cash index value plus finance charges less anticipated dividends...

Normally in my daytrading, I try to locate a entry near the beginning of the days primary trend. For example, the emini range has been about 16 pts. My stuff will try to locate a entry within 3 points of the start of the primary trend and put on a 4 point stop. This gives me the 3:1 reward to...

Take a look at how the ND ranges have changed: Across the top is the number of days in the trade. Underneath each number is the total points available for the holding period. The next column is the average (total points / number of trading days) 1 = Daytrade 2 = In at low or high today...

It's from my own tools. I wish there was a website that posted this stuff.

From a numbers standpoint, the daytrading range (high - low) for the SP market is averaging 16.6 pts. this year. This is the lowest range since 1997 (13.8) and is 17% lower than last year (20.0). The two day range (in at todays high or low and out at tomorrow's low or high), has declined by...

Thanks for your caution. I only have 1/2 of what I should have on right now. I don't like looking at the triple top on the 5 min. chart.

10:40 844 - 845.5 10:48 843 - 843.75 I used the opportunity to get more long. Thanks

Thanks, I'm surprised Linda didn't see the divergence on the bar that took it to 842. At least I got out near the top. 5-6 pts. on the 17 pt. move is very reasonable. Unfortunately for me, I only had 1/6 of my size on for the up move. After yesterday being an inside day I was looking for a...

I'm trading emini's and it's been no big party for me at least not this month (down about 2%). Looks like divergence trades are working right now, but who wants to fade a breakout of this 850-820 trading range since 2/18 with possible UN news at any moment. I'd like to know how you guys...
