Put up MACD, stochastics, RSI, draw some trendlines and channels and you have them.

2018 first quarter and since inception from FS. Definitely an outlier quarter from the volatility with much larger than expected returns and drawdowns. This journal is damn boring I know, I'm no writer. I may give YouTube or other mediums a try out. Just something to do when I'm bored and still...

Yes why not ? If use 1% you average 3 wins and 2 losses a week at 1:1 RR you net around 1%/week. Compounds to around 70% a year. Use 2% or trade with better R:R and you have triple digit returns. I hope that is "much money" for you on a $100k account.

What's the deal with this beast ? 2.1 Sharpe over 5 years on equities on 9 figures..Are institutional accounts allowed in FS or is this some individual whale ?

Billionaires ? No..even if they are I doubt we will know about it.

Typical maths from a beginner's profit luck. Taking a very short sample and multiplying it into a "expected yearly income" thinking every day will be the same.

What makes you even fathom that people will just throw you money to try NEW strategies with ?

Haven't read the book but the author's site is a bit dodgy. http://investimonials.com/websites/reviews-trend-fund.aspx Trend fund is also by the guys behind Optionetics, another educator that most would agree is pretty dodgy.

If you're very good in picking direction and velocity, yes you will always outperform theta and assuming highly liquid options. A very big IF though to do on a consistent basis.

I spend half the year in Asia and trade the US session. I don't know why people are saying you will have no life ? Trade til US close at 4-6AM and sleep just before the sun comes up til lunch and you have the whole day free. As an intraday trader you can take any day/night you wish off. More...

It's a DIGITAL ASSET fund, of course majority holdings is going to be in cryptos. It's just doing exactly what it advertised - providing exposure to cryptos. It would only be significant if a traditional hedge fund did that.

Sounds like you are already sold despite everyone saying don't. Buy it and let us know what you think of it, and come back in 6 months and let us know how your trading went.

Personally, from those stats alone I would be much comfortable putting my money behind BK. But hey not my competition and I'm not the judge.

Why would anyone want to buy from you when these are available for free in the file sharing community. Is it "illegal"..probably but not anymore illegal than you selling them in electronic format.

It's a hedge for a $20bln fund(Ruffer). 200m is only 1% I doubt it would've covered the draw down on the recent pullback. Being in the black for your hedge normally means your overall portfolio in the red.

Portfolio rebalancing you are adding to losers a lot of the time. For a scalp/swing trade only if you haven't reached max risk allocated for the trade idea.

Not hard to see for yourself ? Both market data and economic data are widely available data..

Market makers and some firms don't pay commissions on a per trade basis. They pay in other ways that they wouldn't pay anything individually on the trade. It may be attractive to them as they devour every 1c all the time and once in a while pay out the losses. There are also always people like...
