It was a 50/50 trade with risk:reward of 1:1 till you started meddling with it. Your "premature" exit at 48 doesn't fool the Numbers Deity and will occur with a frequency that is 5 times larger than your exit at 60, putting you back to square one with your original 1:1 risk:reward.

pjtomtai and others, I appreciate the selfless work you've done and are doing for the rest of us traders, so please don't misinterpret the following. As much as I would love to get my hands on some of the data, my past experience with KaZaA (being infected with some spyware which caused severe...

And a very interesting one at that. One thing, though, which may jar sensitivities - you state : "My investment style back then was much akin to walking into a Vegas casino and placing all my money on 17-red and letting it ride. Fortunately for me, the ball landed on my number every time...

OK, but acknowledge me in your acceptance speech.

Did you read my entry? If you win the T-Shirt, I'll slap you with such a copyright lawsuit, it'll take you at least half a morning of trading to recover financially.

Difficult pinning me down to 1 album. My favorite albums (and songs) are : Led Zeppelin II Whole Lotta Love, Bring It On Home Led Zeppelin IV Stairway To Heaven, When The Levee Breaks Houses of the Holy No Quarter, The Ocean

Mom, don't believe that slut Eva - that photo was taken 8 months ago when I passed my Series 7.

My interpretation of the above : Not only are you holding on to your original 3 points, you have probably since doubled it at least.

tampa, the game plan for the week, which btw isn't over yet, was to be more selective and to try improving my entries and exits, all the while slowly building my confidence. On Monday I ended the day with 5 consecutive half-point winning trades. I increased the profit target to 0.75 points on...

Guilt?

This is fantastic! What about intraday ES data? I'm presenting a paper at the IFTA (International Federation of Technical Analysts) conference in London in October, and my SOMP™ index could use some backtesting. http://www.sta-uk.org/ifta_2002.htm
