Just love your subtly. :D H

Hey krt, Rude, not at all. I agree with cta-trader and Magna. Looking back at these last 4 days trading real $$$ again, these days have not been the best days to start out on. I am starting trading in a time when my system, basic trend following, would be in a drawdown period. That...

4 trades, all losers for -4.75 pts. My trading is getting way too complicated. I'm watching too many things (different indicators), and have way too many lines on my charts. Tomorrow, it is back to price action, s/r lines, and a few ma's. Net for the day: - 256.70 Net for the week: -...

AAA, I can garantee you I am not doing the program justice. It is much better than I am describing it. :) It is doing better than I am!! H

It is a basic trend following system that exposes "aberrations" in a market, and trades all 8 groups of commodities, so it is well diversified. Most use it on an EOD basis. I know it uses a large ma at the trigger. He recommends 10-30K for the starter portfolio. That's about all I know...

I believe the results are up to the end of 1999. I'm not sure if Keith took Pd out of the portfolio or not during its volitile time. I cut and pasted the portfolio directly from the website. I meant my friend took it out of his portfolio. Sorry about the confusion. H

I agree, but according to his website, if you would have started with 15K, 5 for margin, and 10 for drawdown, you would have been profitable in 19 of 19 years. I spent 5 hours with my friend in TX with him explaining it to me. I always thought the DD, using the system would blow out the 10K...

I have a friend in Houston who has a Roth being traded by a broker using Aberration and EOD data. His account is up over 2.5x in the last year, (not sure of time frome), and no initial drawdown. He started at just the right time, but you never know when that time is going to be. You can trade...

Missed most of the trend today. 3 trades, 2 winners, 1 loser for 1.25 pts. Net for the day: +48.10 Net for the week: +48.10 Net for the month: -348.00

I use the default settings, 14,14, and wait till the ADX is over 15. It is not perfect, nothing is, but it helps. I would think that waiting till it is over 30, alot of the move would be over, and you would end up in the chop at the top, but this is just a guess. Check out...

Hey man, it's ok to talk to yourself. It is even ok to answer yourself. But, when you find yourself scratching your head, and saying "Huh?" to what you just said to yourself, it is time to sit down. :confused: H

I concur!! H

cta_trader, You state all of the above, and yet say you are not selling anything. Then why state it at all? Given your extensive background, why not just post what works, and what doesn't work, and leave the names out of it, so you are not held liable. Ideas, concepts, and techniques...

Some one has a signature that says... there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Almost everything in this email I learned from watching someone else, or someone else has suggested to me. I try to separate the wheat from the chaff, and pass on the good stuff. I liked this, so it...

Right now I don't have a plan to trade the range days. But I am finding, even the range days have at least one good trend to trade, BUT, within that short trend, my entry may not show up. Those kind of trends generally follow a sharp reversal, and do one of those "V" reversal thingies, that...

OK, the emotions of trading real money are getting to me. Sheeesh. After papertrading for 3 weeks, and most of those days taking every trade. Someone said I have papertrader trigger finger, and he meant I can't pull the trigger. And, I don't know if it is the last two days weren't...
