Theory: Random entry with a wider target vs a shorter stop. When this theory is tested in a random environment, it breaks even. This is known. What is not known is if it profits in a Forex market. If it did, there must be something non-random about that market. A difficulty...

I lived at 5th and Vine next to the Monorail tracks, about three blocks from Key Arena. This is in Belltown. One night I was walking to QFC grocery on the other side of the Seattle Center and in passing Key Arena, someone handed me an Eddie Murphy ticket and I went inside and saw the show...

I was just over at Interactive Brokers going through the steps of opening a corporate account. When it came to account capabilities, the only options dealt with stocks (cash, margin, options). Whereas individual accounts are capable of all this, futures and more. Why are corporate accounts...

Yes, I may have. What I meant to say is that with a 2 pt target and a 1 point stop, you'ld hit twice as many stops as targets for breakeven. With a 3 pt target and a 1 pt stop, you'ld hit the stop three times as much as the target. And so it goes... JohnnyK

Over a larger dataset, the success rate of this should be 33% for breakeven, minus commisions. I've computer tested this kind of thing over huge data sets of random fluctuations. Similarily, a 2 pt target and a 1 pt stop-loss would have a success of 50% for another breakeven...and so it goes...

Hi Bundlemaker, I must respectfully refer back to your by-line: "I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant." Not sure we're on the same page or talking about the same book. I agree with your...

I disagree with the alledged "meaningless"-ness of paper trading. Read the classic "Psyco Cybernetics" by Dr. Maxwell Maltz (hope I spelled it right). A highly emotional/stressful environment is actually the worst way to learn. A playful environment is the best way to learn. I knew that...

Hi Vorzo, I've been following this thread since the beginning. I would like to commend you on the steady detailed contributions you are making here. I have a small request: Could you post, along with your daily and weekly stats, a running log of total number of points...

Jack, Thanks for posting often these clear and detailed charts. They are very helpful. Keep going! JohnnyK

To Jack, I have attempted to graphically illustrate (see link below) part of your response to Dawg regarding his long rocket after 11 am, March 7. I have included some of your comments and my own observations with the graphic. To improve my own understanding, I sometimes cut and...
