clambill - this is the one professional reply on your thread, yet you don't appear to have responded ? Btw, I know at least one trader making serious dough trading MA crossovers (plus a few simple filters) with a 7 figure account. The line "MA xovers don't work" is generally made by traders...

I think you might be better off at a forex-specific forum - try Googling Forex Factory and take it from there, starting at their Rookie Discussion section. Cash forex has one huge advantage for beginning traders : the possibility to trade real money with very small size while you learn, as you...

Which edition, I wonder ? If you're still around, please let me know how the paragraph starts (p.166 is the Ed Seykota interview in my edition). Btw, did you switch to IB.... maybe it's just me, but I have the impression that the spreads have actually widened slightly recently... maybe just...

hrokling - I would be very interested to hear your conclusions etc, should you care to post them. J.

hrok - how did you time your entry for the above spread, please ? I can see you're a couple of weeks early compared to the book, but also 6 weeks later than MRCI's 2008 rec entry (which includes data for 2007/8). Am I correct in thinking you do not subscribe to MRCI's online service, but do use...

hrokling - I'm enjoying your threads : thanks. Care to write some more about your overall Eurodollar strategy - rather than signal generation method - it might make it easier to follow & appreciate this journal ? J,

I have no experience of Open Tick, but you can feed Ninja from the IB data feed. Some will say that as it is a "snapshot" feed, it is useless for trading. However, I and others have found that during news releases, it keeps up far better than the eSignals and Tradestations of this world. You...

prince-in-jail, TS8 still has the best charting I have seen - easy to duplicate your eSig workspace - and my experience is that just about all packages will have data issues for time to time. I'd agree TS are dragging their heels on range bars... As long as you do 10 futures trades per...

The risk with profit targets is to always cut your profits short, eg. the +WU07-CU07 spread last summer : I closed out my position @ $3138 per spread on 26 July as the largest profit MRCI listed was about $300 less (and the average profit about $800 in total) , even though the chart was heading...

2cents - the Hedgeco software looks like the best package for the job so far. I am pursuing an auditing contact in the Isle of Man and will also discuss with UBS end-Feb. Thanks to all who responded - it has been very helpful. J.

Thanks, Aaron, Trade Depot looks good - I had not found it. J.

Thanks for the link 2cents. My research has shown that there is quite a bit of software out there that might do the job during my "track record" period. It may even be simpler for me to hire someone to code the new subscription / withdrawals / NAV calcs formulae into Excel. In your first...

I appreciate the many very informative posts on this thread. I want to set up an offshore fund of funds, initially a private fund. If I can achieve a 3 – 5 year track record of the kind I have achieved with my longer-term investment portfolio, I will “go public” with offering...

bluud, If you want banking security as well as secrecy, choose a major Swiss or Luxembourg bank. Whilst they will cooperate with a criminal investigation, they are otherwise very secure and private. A numbered account has additional risks : what happens if you die and your heirs don't know...

Thanks for the quick response, def - I have been aware that the web version has been available since Monday, but I only use the standalone. Any web version users care to comment on why they prefer web to standalone ? Everyone I know uses standalone as that allows the use of DOM-based software...

... bump....

Steve, When will the standalone TWS Build 865 be released ? Thank-you. J.

I use MTP, both standalone EOD and, primarily, with the TradeStation elds. You can use it as an extra tool to your trading decisions, as I do, or trade their "automatic setups". My limited experience of these is that they produce positive expectancy, low win-rate trades. Three things stand...

So to take advantage of this feature, one would need to duplicate any IDEALPRO currencies with their IDEAL "brother" & execute accordingly ? But then exiting the trade could be disadvantageous by a larger amount, as the IDEALPRO spreads are generally much better ? Forgive me if I am not...

Excellent news, Steve. Looking at the FX Trader link above, would you please clarify what the following means ? I see the book icon (just) in the EURGBP cell, but do not understand the concept of possible price improvement in one pair / cross, but not all pairs. J.
