    Which is the best mechanical trading system

    yes i will agree to that. buy since my systems are all very close exact entry times without much notice. C2 just didn't work for me and the poor guys who would be following me. they would miss the boat 50% of the time . the ones they would get would be the losers.

    Discretionary Versus Mechanical System Trading

    im talking about futures trading and im talking about the return on drawdown not just the drawdown. and 7 months being under water will trememdous effect the sharp ratio. investing in treasuries is not trading but for security and collateral. i still stand by my statement. for me, return on...

    Discretionary Versus Mechanical System Trading

    when i am choosing my systems to trade, i look at two things. return on highest drawdown and longest period in drawdown. when i look at the financial report of the previous trading results, 7 months in drawdown? that would be hard to handle.

    Ninja Trader or Trade Maven

    its not a good solution though in my opinion if your having to pay $50.00 a month for each trademaven account you want and then if you get the pro version, thats $100.00 a month for each account.
