facultus, Go to www.sierrachart.de, click on "Kontakt" at the bottom of the page & send them an email in English. They provide backfill intraday data for most US & international electronic futures for 10 euros / month (a little over $10). If you are a SC user, it's also worth joining the...

Hawker, I'd recommend http://www.tactrade.com/ . I am a subscriber and, after a lot of hard work, the method taught here turned me into a profitable trader (trading the ym), having been a consistent loser. This service is not for everybody, but it works for me. J.

My post from the earlier thread (which omits my opinion of Greg Gramalegui, the developer, which is unprintable) : J-Trade Member Registered: Jun 2001 Posts: 47 08-02-02 05:02 PM I bought Trend Reflection some years back, had both of the two portfolios traded by one of their...

Aaron, You'll have to read the book, or at least get hold of a copy of his client newlsetter, Portfolio Strategy Letter. Worth it if you have long-term investments. Tampa - personally, I think its better not to confuse trading the S&P for half a point, which is not investing, with...

It certainly pays to be super-cautious when investing in ANY kind of fund. Almost all mutual funds have been a complete disaster these last 3 years and the problem with most hedge funds is that they are not true hedge funds. A truly excellent read is Mark Boucher's The Hedge Fund Edge ...

I bought Trend Reflection some years back, had both of the two portfolios traded by one of their 'authorised' brokers, ie. according to their advertised formulas. Guess what ? After 3 years, it had made zilch, zero, de nada (up, down & around). More fool me. Don't make the same mistake...

I'd say simulators are almost essential prior to trading real time : until you consistently make money in a simulator, forget about going real time, because for various reasons previously outlined, your results will definitely be worse - & initially maybe a LOT worse - real time. Then start...

Actually, KB96, with a recent Toshiba laptop, you may well be able to run that second monitor simply by using the monitor port. Most laptops still cannot do this : the second monitor only gives a mirror image, so you do need the Appian Traveler card - I use one succesfully with my Compaq laptop...

If you want to use Windows applications to trade, save yourself a lot of hassle & buy a PC. However, there definitely are a number of trading applications that are designed for the Mac : I'm not up to date on this anymore, as I no longer use Macs, but try Trendsetter Software, Linnsoft (I...

I have, in addition to my laptop, a Sony M61 16" lcd. This is far superior & more useful than a 15", as it has 1280 x 1024 resolution. However, it is twice the price, but worth it in my opinion (I would rather start with 1 x M61 & then buy another, if required, out of profits). However, today...

Anyone tried or able to comment on the TacTrade methodology with eminis (www.tactrade.com) ?

base-hitr, "Not enough" ? Well, by "averaging +2 day", I also mean win : loss rate 2:1, more winning days than losing days. Stop trading for day if loss reaches +4. So, if I then average +2, & eventually reach 10 ES eminis, that's an average $5000/week, which'll buy a few pizzas in Italy...

Thanks, Sabena - I think if you just click on J-Trade in red, you send me a private email.

Very interesting indeed, Sabena : pls let me know the optimum contract size formula.

Replies greatly appreciated - thanks. I have a carefully formatted srategy & will not increase from 1 to 2 contracts until I am consistently averaging +2 pts / day (I am not in a hurry !).

Dano, There are two ways : either buy a Toshiba, or possibly other type, laptop with a docking station that includes a PCI slot into which you can fit an Appian multi-monitor card (or similar). This is possibly the best desktop solution, ie. if you do not intend to transport your monitors. If...

Dano - it's possible. Mkt opening in a few mins, so will get back to you later or tomorrow am (from Europe).

Does anyone have any practical experience with trading relatively large size on ES eminis ? Whilst I am learning my way trading single contracts, my goal is to reach 10 lots, equivalent to 2 big ones, but I see in Time & Sales that a lot of trades are single trades only (although the bid & asks...
