Its too hard for me to know exactly what you are talking about without specifics. Frankly, I NEVER use market orders due to slippage especially with the grains and their crazy movements. But, I don't understand....where was the market when you got filled? Look at your time of fill and then...

From your attachment I'm guessing you were shorting at 1265 with a 1269 stop and you got stopped out? If you entered at the green bar with the -1 stop market above it, it looks like second red bar to the right (with the big tail) might have stopped you out at 1269? Check the time and sales on...

I need more details. What time and direction (long/short)? Were you filled on your stop or a profit target? Where was the stop? If Wheat never went there then you have a good argument with Tradestation. Check the time and sales for the bar/candle where you got stopped out and see if it...

You did the right thing just getting out at your first opportunity...it could have just as easily gone against you many more days. Sugar is pretty low volatility, average move is around 500-600 bucks I think. Figure out what the max you want to risk on a trade is and then stick to it...

I admire anyone who is prepared to short grains right now. At least, for their cojones. Aren't you worried about getting locked limit up multiple days? This isn't like indices where its a truly 24 hour market with few gaps and lock moves. Short selling this market takes some courage...

If this "BS" move went your way...you guys would still be bitching....right ....RIGHT? Just checking.

Wow, this is quite the advertisement for NOT getting married :D

With Corn and Wheat down? :) Dare to dream. I'd love to be wrong though. Thanks.

Seems to me that the pit is down too. Not seeing activity there either. Good time for CBOT to crap out with interest in grains sky high :) Wasn't the CME/CBOT merger supposed to fix these issues?

WTF? Five minutes in to RTH on ECBOT and I got zero trades. Corn and wheat are chugging along...obviously not a exchange issue. Anyone know what's up?

I guess she'll find some way to forgive you if you end up banking huge in your trading :)

New fund offering on the website: International Equity Plus I'm beginning to doubt these blow up rumors. Perhaps he just folded the previous fund due to the 35% drawdown and started over with a new strategy? Maybe the old strategy wasn't viable anymore? It would be nice if Aaron would...

Unfortunately it's down again :'(

He's not just transparent with his trading methodology...he's psychic !!! Still, if you adjust for the halving of his leverage, the largest monthly loss previous to October was around 12%. It jumped to 33% and now January's might be 15-20% (at least). I don't think he was anticipating huge...

Actually, that quote came from a late 2007 monthly email dealing with the 30% drawdown related to a crude oil position. If rumors are to be believed, the January one was caused by index futures or options. I haven't received any update for January...Aaron is usually extremely prompt. I'd...

A mass emailing is hardly a "private correspondence." Forgive me, I mistook your previous post as misinformed about the source of the quote.

That summary was sent out in a performance email from Aaron that anyone could receive if they signed up.

Thank you for this Jay, I'm hoping this is erroneous but you seem like a reputable poster. If it is true, it is amazing. I was an investor back late last year when we had the 30+% down month. I immediately left the fund since it seemed to me that risk management was lacking for this to happen...
