Quote from hypostomus: ...occurred when I realized that beyond a certain point I would have to teach myself.

The error estimate suggested by Acrary gives a good statical estimates of the error when the distribution of events is normal distributed. http://www.uic.edu/classes/upp/upp503/sanders7.pdf How would you estimate the error if the events are skewed to the right? This is the case when...

Acrary Thanks.

Thank You ALL, I dont need just the spread of 2 symbols in a chart. I need both stock %change in one chart. For instance the %change of qqq and spy in 1 chart. Does anyone support this at a reasonable price? I dont need any backtesting or scanning. I know that QT is considering...

Spikes trigger early entries and stops on a mechanical system. I would be very happy to discuss ideas that help me avoid those nasty spikes. Regards

Net Paperprofits: Monday 12/16: 3 one lot trades -11 Tuesday 12/17: 1 one lot trade +12 On tuesday a tight traillingstop made the difference. Jaan Because only the filter part (long, short or wait) is pure mechanical, I think the best way to test my ideas is to...

thetraderprofit Thanks for posting. Your story about the bathroom made me produce a little chuckle. You know the place. I dont know if moving down here is enough to get your tax to 1.2%, but if you love beeing in Holland, maybe some proffesional taxadvice will help. Your stating that a...

I pay dutch tax so the cost of trading qqq is about the cost of trading nq for me. Taxmax here is 1.2% on average yearly capital. How about having tax for an edge?? Anyhow, my purpose now is not to chat about taxadvantages, but to find solid feedback. I speak dutch, so no long mails...

Aphexcoil, Good questions!! Looking forward to your qqq/nq study. Maybe you could split your study in + and - moves for the 2 minutes. Im particulary interested in the expectation of the pricerange 2,4,6,8 minutes after an (more then) average + or - 2 minutes move.

Thanks, with a spread of 1/2 point the cost is now about the same for nq and 800 qqq. This makes the following question valid: Any ideas on how the risk/reward potential of scaling/trailing 800 qqq can methodicaly outweight the trading of a single nq contract?

Could you give me some feedback? As you know 1 nq equals 8 lots of qqq. A basic calculation showed me that at IB (=a US broker) the cost for transaction, b/a spread and slippage of 8 lots of qqq ($29) is slightly favorable to that of a single nq ($34.80) contract: QQQ round trip cost...
