Will you give us a report in a few days and let us know how it's performing? (try disconnecting either the cable or dsl wires and see what happens) Thanks.

I don't see how anyone can turn a profit holding a stock for 3-5 minutes. Are you buying the bid/selling the ask?

funky, What platform did you use to come up with this system and do the equity curve test? Is the same platform available for real-time trading?

Deron, Are you still in this trade?

How 'bout "How to Take Money From Wall Street" by Tony Oz? Can you get much out of it? I'm tired of buying books that just sit on the shelf and not learned much from them. Feel kind of suckered as a result.

Thanks. Can anyone confirm if the PRO version is the same way? And has anyone installed it on say 2-3 computers without hassle?

Do both OS's have to be "authenticated" online by Microsoft? I hate that kind of crap and have stuck with win2k for that reason alone. Nothing like a piece of software that you can install/unistall at will without some uncle sam-like big brother watching over you.

Responses so far are positive but hide one thing...The guys responding are the ones who managed to turn it around (a small minority). A great majority of people will lose, walk away, and will never again look back because they will be afraid the market will somehow "hook" them into coming back...

Don, does the SLK platform your firm uses perform like that? Or do they have others that are compatible with your system?

Does anyone know which firm has an order entry platform similar to IB? Something where one can have different pages with many orders ready and then can either enter all of them practically at once or cancel as well? Thnx.

Your poll will not be correct since you did not list a negative option. Another example of looking thru rose colored glasses and "survivorship bias".

Kicking, I have no opinions one way or the other but what draws you to this conclusion? Thnx

That IS scaling! You just don't characterize/recognize it as such. I guess that makes you a pussy too.:D Practically all decent traders scale in/out because there's no "perfect" entry/exit. Only for the "hypotetical" system optimizers.

Zero, because as soon as this market cycle falls apart, your super-duper optimized strategy goes to crap along with the account of any poor schmuck using it! That's how it is with EVERY market cycle. The next one will be just enough different to attract a different "new" crowd with other...

The new (better?) notebooks now include dual-monitor display capabilities built-in. No need for the add-on adapters. I do have the Margi card and it works well but was a bit hard to set up initially on a win2000pro notebook.

Hi Don, Let me get this straight... I start trading with your firm and put up $100K. Now, after a week or 2, it's 3:45pm EST and I'm long $400K of 50 different stocks. My question is, will your firm automatically liquidate my positions down to my $100K times some predetermined limit or...

Deron, Good choice here. Do you also do any fundamental analysis on the ETF or industry group prior to taking a position? It seems this move on oil is somehow related to the move in gold and other commodities. I'm not up on the fundamentals of these producers.

Could you please confirm this policy: A friend of mine says that when he closes out his positions which are usually 2x buying power one day, the following day, buying power is only 1x because Tradestation makes him wait 3 days until 2x buying power is once again available. Could someone at...

This statement sounds funny. According to your graph, your systems made money even on the decline of 2002. So, now you're afraid a "flat" equity curve? You never completely answered my questions as to how many stocks are being traded at the same time with this system of yours? 5? 100...

The problem with handholding customer reps is that you then need many of them to provide "excellent" phone talk and thereby increasing the commissions for the rest of the customers. Thats why commissions are more at schwab, fidelity, ameritrade, cybertrade, etc.
