Hi Padutrader, I have been reading this forum for many years and think you have created one of the most interesting journals I've seen here. Thank you for the time and effort you've expended on it. Inclusion of the charts and the trade results beneath them has been particularly helpful for...

Interesting, I started by typing nukethewhales into the general search box at the top of this page but the search got no hits. I finally discovered his handle was nukethewhales31 by leaving Elitetrader and doing a Google search with keywords Elitetrader and nukethewhales, which led to internal...

Hi, I was looking for an old journal thread today that was created by a poster named nukethewhales31. I remembered that his handle began with nukethewhales but didn't remember the number. I did an advanced search using "Posted by Member" and entering nukethewhales got no result because it...

Partum, I think your idea is a good one. There are lots of people out there who have learned how to backtest but have not been able to develop any consistently profitable strategies. Good luck to you, hope you find a competent and honest backtester to work with.

Hi antares, If you go to the TOS indicator called PercentChg and change the length from 14 to 1, and also change the "Draw as:" parameter from a line to a histogram, you'll get a histogram that is identical to the one comagnum posted earlier for SPY.

I'm a bit concerned about this one. If the experiments with rats exposed to high altitude radiation have relevance to humans, it seems likely that we would see increased health problems in commercial airline pilots and flight attendants. That wasn't addressed here, but may be worth searching...

Nonlinear, thanks for this. I enjoyed reading the books by Pardo and by Tomasini & Jaekle, but had somehow missed the book by Fitschen...I've just placed an order for it. Another offering in this area that is worth being aware of is the comprehensive tome by Perry Kaufman I also enjoyed a...

Hi Watchdaride, Have you been here yet? http://www.thinkscripter.com/community/index.php

Hi Bone, A crocodile? You're telling Rajescheck that successful traders are like reptiles? How about a lion or a tiger, or maybe a cheetah? Sheesh... :cool:

Hi Banjo, I don't normally look at this section of Elitetrader, but I'm very glad that I did today. This article was fascinating and I thank you for posting it. I've met a couple of fellow scientists from Scandinavia who emigrated to the U.S. and tell stories that are similar to his...

Another crossover hit whose sensual video probably played a big part in its popularity:

Perhaps under the category of romantic songs with erotic videos. Big country/pop crossover hit from Shania:

From the 1990 film Pretty Woman

Steamy hit from the 1986 film Top Gun:

Nitro, thanks for posting this. When I first saw it many years ago, I couldn't get the whistled melody that played at the beginning of They Call Me Trinity out of my head for a long time. It's nice to hear it again...

This Night Ranger song seems to fit in with several of the other 80's ballads...

Hi Cmoss, Buda, Kyle and San Marcos are getting built up amazingly fast...maybe better to slide a bit west over toward Blanco, Johnson City, Marble Falls, Fredericksburg...

Hi Note, Experienced Joe may well be right that 99% fail, but he's too pessimistic about getting help here. Two of the posters above, NoDoji and Redneck, have been giving good advice to inexperienced traders on this forum for a few years now. This is true even if your preferred trading style...

Hi Buwa84, I have a full time job too and do most of my trading using daily charts. When I get home in the evening, I look at the futures markets I trade to see if any of them have generated a setup. If a setup is there, I place a stop market order to either buy above the high of today's bar...

Hi Ironfist, I have a couple of thoughts. I do manual backtesting from charts and this seems like a nice puzzle that you’ve presented. The question is: without being rigorously quantitative yet, can suggestions be made that will improve the performance of trades in the 4 charts shown in the...
