Nkhoi, You shoudl've done some searches here on TIMES, Afshin, & Traders International before you spent your money on a scam. The system doesn't work, Afshin cheat's on his historical performance, they won't provide documented proof, and his partner Roger is a liar. They take your...

David, Why does TNT charge you (of all people) $15 commissions? Surely you do more than 249 trades per month, and even if you didn't, I imagine you would've negotiated a sweet deal considering the Marketwise relationship. Perhaps I don't understand the TNT commission structure, but to...

I never said I didn't believe you- in fact I give you the benefit of the doubt because it wouldn't be worth going through all this trouble otherwise. I was simply pointing out inconsistencies in your RealTick OrderBook screenshot. You must admit it is very strange to have some executions...

Mark, That still doesn't explain why some trades were reported with EST and other trades with MST time stamps on the first attachment (the one with the RealTick order book). I'm not saying I don't believe these trades are real, but anyone posting trades here will get lots of scrutiny...

Your last document seems to show accurate T&S info based on EST time, but why is it that on your PC printout of the RealTick odrer book (the one that says "OrderBook for USRE001"), some trades show MNT time, and some trades show EST time? I would think that the PC woud use the same timezone to...

Actually, no. :) I thought you might say something about the 2-hr time zone difference because so many of your reported trades look like they could've been filled based on EST or MNT time. However, some other numbers don't line up. Your report shows that you bought AMGN 5 times from 56.60...

mbg just made a typo, he meant to say AMGN. David's screen shot shows a fill for 2400 AMGN at $56.90 @10:27, but AMGN didn't print at 56.90 until 12:24, 2 hours later.

Rather than trying to hold through shakeouts or take profits before a slingshot move, if you can spot these moves in advance then would it not make more sense to wait for the shakeout and then enter; or wait for the slingshot move and then ride the slingshot rather than settle for small profit...

That $49 price tag and the "9-of-10" winners sounds similar to the crap Optionnetics course that was sold. The $49 price tag just gets you a cheap paper pamphlet that discusses the basics of delta neutral strategies. You have to pay a few grand for the full video course. Of course, neither...

I watched a seminar given by Afshin Taghechian of Traders International. He demonstrated his system for trading the S&P futures. He used two indicators in RealTick (which he would not reveal exactly what they were). When the signals indicate a move, he places a 2 point stop and a 2 point exit...

Nah- I give up and admit defeat when proven wrong, it just hasn't happened often. :) j/k - as far as selling methods, etc. goes, about 8 years ago I was a sucker once too and spent thousands on seminars and courses from top notch names (at the time). Calhoun, Williams, Bernstein, Bressert...

Not that this deserves such a long answer, but it comes up so darn often... Demand for the product will always be there- every body wants to make money. The problem is not everyone will due enough due dilligence to discover the pure cons from the so-so stuff out there. In every other...

A lot of the "big boys" trade the eminis rather than stocks because the leverage is much greater and the executions can't be beat. I can get much better execution on 10 NQ contracts than 8000 QQQ's, and I don't consider myself a "big boy" yet.

You can do this through IB, just place an order for the full, pit-traded S&P. Of course, if IB's order entry system goes down then you can only offset if you have another broker. The problem is further complicated if you have a stop or limit order with IB and the market trades at your price...

Let me know why I am the lone fool and the zen crowd is correct. By the way there is no doubt after seeing the posts on this board that the crowd is into this zen stuff and that alone should make you concerned. Jem, you are right on and you are definitely not a lone fool here. I've been...

Mental are simply better because your brain is still the best computer; capable of visceral interpretation versus purely literal. But the software is not created equal. If you can gain an advantage with tape reading/LII then mental stops are an advantage, but if you cannot gain an...

Boz, I use Wealth-Lab for all my testing. It is an extremely robust platform, and can even do such things as portfolio management, overlay testing of different time-frames, analysis of other instruments/indexes (e.g. VIX, TRIN, etc.), and adaptive adjustment based on max adverse/max favorable...

I like to perform a "severe slippage" scenario by buying at the high and selling at the low, rather than the stop/limit/market price determined by the system. I won't consider trading any system that is not reasonably profitable after a "severe slippage" test (e.g. various scalping methods...

A system should be looked upon as an individual, specialized unit. Period. If you don't understand this, then you simply have not developed enough systems--and the quantity of them does not have to be huge. While it is nice if a given system works on a different stock, futures contract, or...
