Check out CKCM this morning, whoaa.

By the way, one more thing about the backtest. The date represents the return for the 20 days ahead. For example '12/31/2004' shows the return from this date till 1/28/2005. Also keep in mind that the annual returns are non-cumulative, the cumulative returns are quite a bit higher.

The data in the backtest uses closing prices and is not an exact duplication of the actual performance, but a very close approximation, like most backtests are. Over several trades the difference between trading on the open or on the close becomes irrelevant, especially when holding a stock for...

Here is a backtest of the strategy for the last 5 years. Actual results for the last two years confirm the data.

I aim to please... As this is a long only system I plan to unveil a short component soon so that a market hedge can be established.

Focus on how to limit your losses rather than how much you will make. Personally I limit losses by always staying diversified among positions, sectors and always being hedged in one way or the other. Start out with a small account until you are confident and focus on consistency rather...

If I didn't answer your question it was not intentional. This is not 'event driven' so no it does does not rely on some special change to occur. It is a combination of various parameters, some plain vanilla such as: PE, PS, and Relative Strength and other more obscure elements that I am...

Up 35% so far this year, which is right inline with my backtest that produces around 50% per year. I just started a Journal with full transparency: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75845 It is primarily a fundamental system that relies on certain parameters of a stock...

When I say 'swing trading' I am refering to the holding period of a position. Holding a position for a few weeks rather than a few minutes. The strategy I trade holds a portfolio of 20 stock for 20 days, which allows enough time to work through the daily 'noise'. It works well enough for me...

Turning the market into an ATM by day trading futures is extremely difficult. Possible, but to make money consistently this way is rare and my hat is off those those who can do it. I tried full time for years and had a few good runs hear and there, but never on a consistent basis. It wasn't...

Tradestation has pretty much the same com schedule as IB and the best charting platform in the industry, but there is a monthly fee unless you meet certain trading requirements. I have been using IB and TS for many years and never had a problem getting a good execution.

Many good replies, Fundamentals trump technicals as far as picking the right stocks, technicals are better used for timing entries and exits. I stopped using technical indicators a long time ago, rather for TA I focus on the pure price action, not a derivative of price. Which means classic...

Indeed I have a website with some associates, but didn't want to spam. Don't mind competitors, It's a big world out there. My goal here is to show those who are interested how to make very good returns by keeping things simple and avoid getting caught up in all the noise.
