    With the actual "live" data you've collected over the past couple of weeks - what is the current winrate and max consecutive losses? What is PSM? :confused:

    Please stop making it look like you answered the questions I asked. The truth is you never answered the two questions I asked. If you did, could you please point me to the location(s) of the answer(s)? Again, I'll repeat the questions still outstanding: My first question is what is the...

    Hey, you can't give it up just yet - at least keep this going for one month. Let's see what happens - let's see if it actually flattens out or what. Let's see if this is a common issue with mechanical systems. And let's hear your thoughts about the possibility to newly found mechanical...

    ES - Also, I find it interesting that many of these type of journals start off like gangbusters - with the system making money - only for them to start smoothing out after a few weeks. Remember the (in)famous "Something Very Simplistic"? Right out of the gate made money like mad. 3 weeks...

    Backtesting, schmacktesting. The fact is, had you been trading this system for real - you'd be up $4,320 or so by now. I find this to be the most evil part of system development - the initial "let's try it on paper first and backtest too". All too often the system currently works...

    And therein lies the rub - these calls do not come with a "first profit target". BDT says they usually use a .05 - .10 stop loss, but again state that they leave it up to the trader to decide when to exit. And have repeatedley ignored requests to show where the exits are on the trades used to...

    Look, most of us know the hardest part is the exit - not the entry. Anyone that has the skills and knowledge to exit a trade at the perfect time surely doesn't need any assistance in entering a trade. Even BDT says they don't tell people when to exit a trade - only when to enter them...

    I agree with you 100%, but I think the cool was kept on this thread for a very long time. You'll notice that a few posts of mine almost defended BDT before they had the opportunity to answer reasonable questions. But even after all of that, I find myself wondering why anyone (including...

    You obviously didn't read the entire thread - especially the repeated honest a polite questions that were not answered. It amazes me that people can say "well, I ignore the claims - but I'll try the service.." - huh? Why would you want to ignore the lies and deception of a vendor and still...

    I see you said "don't ask" on the other thread. Can we ask on this one? :D

    ES, don't sweat it. No need to worry.

    Don't worry about it - probably not worth the time. I don't think he was suggesting you convert the equation - he was suggesting you convert the backtesting reports that were too big to upload, I think. And yes, openoffice run on Windows too.

    I think most people would feel more comfortable opening a PDF file vs. unzipping a ZIP file that could contain many nasty things.

    No, that's only if you buy all 4 different classes at once. Which begs another question - if you can pick perfect tops and bottoms every time - why would you need the other 3 classes?

    BestDayTrader Q&A

    I understand what you are saying - but an truely educated consumer wouldn't even request a free trial after seeing the claims that are made on the website. Those claims and testimonials tell the educated consumer all they need to know. Most of the takers will be of the non-educated...

    Which % return is true?

    Ah, I guess I'm mixing terms here - "return" and "profit"... I guess I thinking more along the lines of that single trade - what % profit was made on that single trade.

    Which % return is true?

    Given : 1. Trading Emini S&P futures - ES - which are valued at $50/point. 2. My broker allows me to daytrade 1 contract of ES with $500 margin. 3. I buy ES @ 1000 and sell it @ 1001 for a 1 point gain. What is my % profit? 10% (using the $500 margin calculation). 1.25%...

    NihabaAshi - IMO, it's not really about a free trial or not. It's about their claims. No one needs a free trial - or even a trial of any sort - to know that there is no Eric in Orgeon making 5-10% per day on a 7 figure account based on the calls from the service. We all know that if I...

    Eric is too busy on the Quicken forums trying to talk their programmers into updating the software to allow for deposit and balances > 9 figures. He'll need that in the next few weeks.
