You didn't make that EA / Algo.. Anyone can buy it and run it themselves. You're asking for money as if you traded or came up with the strategy. You're nothing but a middle man if anyone gives you a dime. You're slime.

How about responding with something worth reading? You know, give that big ego of your's a rest for a change? Maybe what lead you to believe what you believe about trading psychology after your X years of trading... Or perhaps you're more interested in slinging shit around.. I guess you're...

Such an absolutest statement. I bet you're a riot at dinner parties.

Sounds like the book just isn't targeted for you then. I've met a few traders that have opinions like yours about Trading in the Zone, and after talking with them a few revealed that they don't yet have an edge they can rely on, so effectively, the book was not the grail they were seeking...

When I first read the thread title I thought this was going to be OldTime's farewell speech. :P Interesting article though.

This thread had potential, til Hershey gave the OP all sorts of rubbish to dribble on about, and others fell into OP's trap of giving strategy/account examples. You guys don't need to prove anything when it comes to strategy. You're not in the convincing business. OP wants confrontation...

I don't really focus on leverage, I focus on exposure (contract value, tick value, etc..) since I don't trade using ultra high leverage anyway. I do look at costs, and CFD spreads are padded (it's how the broker makes money if they are hedging out in the underlying market when you trade...

I keep telling people that 'flat' is just as valid of a position as long and short. (Not that I discovered the notion or anything, lol) Desirable when there's no edge to be found at the time.

Wallace, please don't overlook the spread differences between CFDs and their underlying markets. They will all be wider than their related futures contract, often by a tick or two during the active session, and sometimes more during the inactive sessions. I'm usually very critical of CFDs...

To add: I never said anything about deduction. Again, the question is "what strategies work in this environment?" You can't force the market to work with a given strategy of your own choice. You'll just end up wasting a lot of time trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

How in the heck can you post something like this, showing you at least understand the idea behind known-unknowns, but toss out a logic fallacy in your tread title reading "impossible to day trade ... manually"? Are you just trying to extract a response explaining how through your inference...

Multiple people from the office where I work. Multiple years of consistency each. All intra-day, flat by close. I'd love to say myself included, but if I dabble at all with the indexes it's with SPY or SSO intraday, not ES contracts. You've made some good conclusions with how hard it is to...

I'd rather read a few pages of a journal with failing trades than one of EMG's copypasta posts.

Pssh... if you're gonna be mean, emg was standing right there. :p

Did Mav pass a custom combine, or standard $150k option? Just curious, if custom, what were the details?

EDGE. It's what's for dinner.

I wish we saw more fights and standoffs like this around ET, not only are they hella interesting but I'm actually learning something by reading through them.

Thanks, I was asking since sim vs real execution topic was at hand. Since you're doing all market orders it should be nearly the same unless the market is moving quickly.. I was interested in case you were using limits, as I've seen NT give very favourable fills in simulation before for limits...

"Quality content" now that's questionable. :P heh Kidding aside, you are link building, which is an SEO tactic, and it's also common for bloggers to build SEO first then monetize later once there's traffic to game. Not saying that's what you're doing, but it's far more common to see people...

Yeah, in the last few months his efforts to link build to his blog and capture traffic has been through the roof. Contributing "quality content" is content that resides on this site, I'd understand if he was linking to a blog that wasn't his own, and he wanted to point out an interesting...
