I just closed out a rather wild cable ticket, and to relax I figured I would log onto the ET boards. Check out the latest gossip, news, etc. When all of the sudden I ran across this thread. WOW. I actually was on the tele with a good friend of mine and had him log on just to read it. Absolutely...

WOW. LOL. You have a lot more of the learning curve to go through. In perspective, your on like step 1..lol. But good luck to you. There are people that are 10 times smarter, 10 times luckier, 10 times more experienced, and 10 times more dedicated, and still dont come close to a 98% success...

This is interesting, I have approached this in the past when testing different breakout strategies. What type of volitality are you refering to? (what software? chaikin? tradestation? etc) Why would you hope? Im curious, I have never used that strategy, but It sounds like your warning...

I agree, the coin tossing is a little over the top now..lol.. Good research though. Back to mean reversion TRADING strategies..lol. - secXces

This is the example I see most often when refering to mean reversion, but thank you for the example. Yohoo, I have read many times over about the 50, and 200 ma's. And I would have to agree with they are way to slow for agressive day trading. Could you elaborate more on daytrading setups, or...

I see, very interesting. I read a little on it, but it seems to be a highly quiet strategy. I appreciate your response greatly, but could you elaborate a little more. Again with some more in depth examples. Im just trying to wrap my brain around the concept. Much Appreciated...

Can you post some examples? Im not asking for a strategy or something, I was just looking to see a typical chart, maybe how the most typical indicators would be used, etc.

Hi All, I wanted to take some time to discuss mean reversion strategies. I have had alot of interest in the subject for some time now. I was just wondering if anyone would be kind enough to post some examples reversion to the mean. I have spoken to some that do use this type of approach...

I was figuring that, I just cant figure out how the simple changes made such a big difference. But I guess thats in the system, not in whats posted above. As for the commision, and slippage, they were factored in. And no, I didnt use the optimize. Thank You Slapshot for your words. Also...

Hi All, Have a quick question for some of the more experienced. Im getting ready to launch a new system on the SP500. Attached is a picture of my actuall system backtest in tradestation. The text below shows the previous system I was using. Now, As you can see, I have labled "modfied" and...

KS96, Just was wondering if you have kept up with the 30 mintue charts in place of the hourly? If so, Has there been a major increase in percentage of profitable trades? -secXces

Hello All, Im always browsing others trading desks, just trying to get a feel for a new ideas. A couple months ago I came across personal computer enviroments, and Im really surprised I havent seen any here. BTW, IM NOT AFFILIATED WITH THEM IN ANY WAY NOR HAVE I TRIED ANY OF THERE...

Bump Bump Bump. (I wonder if I can get in trouble for bumping).

I read that somewere a while back. Figured there might be some broker out there offering a feed. Im too used to the operations of forex brokerages. Oh well, Ill just have to wait then. Thanks Anyway Though, - secXces

KS96, I wanted to do some testing on ESTX50 and SMI. Do you know of any brokers that offer any type of demo software that have a charting package and live data feed for them? Up until now, I have used Oanda and IBFX, I think ill be openning an account very shortly with IB. But until then, any...

Stockman20, My apologies for being so vague in the above post, the post wasn’t meant to be directly towards you. I have just heard this question over and over again, and now I can just use a link to this post, in this thread, for future reference, to my statement. As for your question...

The Question & The Answer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The general question of "Does Anyone Make Money In These Markets?" should be very clear and has been answered over and over again. It is a good question coming from a beginner, however...

KS96, I just wanted to followup on my last post. Your goals are very realistic and attainable. Personally, I would shoot for a little more. My average profitable trade, based upon removing the highest and lowest of the last 10 trades and figuring the average the remaining 8, results in a 9.4%...

Hey KS96, I check out elitetrader every once in a while, usually to take a look at the blotters in the p&l thread, and often I seen your thread in the newest post section. I personally trade spotfx, so I cant totally relate to your trading style, however, I traded the same time frames as...

Interesting Angle. Very clean, and tracks bull and bear markets rather well. I wonder though, in choppy markets, and due to the linear regression, I can only assume you would get beat up pretty bad. However, with your setup, you can adjust risk by simply adjusting your Hi/Lo moving averages. As...
