Jackbyrd, Fasttrack adjusts for all distributions and is known for very clean and accurate data.

Fasttrack could answer these questions instantly. OAKBX is closed to new investors. The best risk/reward fund I know of is HSGFX, Hussman Strategic Growth Fund. HSGFX started trading on 11/21/00 and the average annual return to date is $13.81%. The maximum drawdown is 6.98% OAKBX...

Many mutual fund traders who grew up on Fastrack now use Amibroker because it allows the use of the Fasttrack database, which is by far the best mutual fund database around. Trade is another popular app used by many sophisticated mutual fund traders. It's also free. You might check out the...

Chick Goslin covers Hillary's "trading" in his new book. If you note the Commodex chart, you'll see almost a vertical bull run. But Hillary was such an incredible trader that she actually made a good deal of profit in short tardes during this time period. That's balls, eh? She should...

Lou Mendelsohn has been a trading system vendor of high priced systems for over 20 years. He used to get ripped apart back in the old Club 3000 days in the 80's. Looks like he's still at it. Never heard anything good about the guy.

As I pointed out previously, Williams introduced volatility breakout trading around 1984. I did extremely well trading a diversified portfolio of commodities and then struggled in 1988 when the S&P no longer worked with what I was doing and the approach got too popular. I know other guys who...

Williams always has some interesting stuff. He was the first to popularize volatility breakout systems.

Maverick -- I guess that was the Europen Fund. Aren't the returns pretty close each month?

The website is updated very frequently intra month and gives May as 4.7% and even lists a return for June right now as 1.3%. I can't get on thestreet.com (without subscribing or taking a test and that's not going to happen) to read the previously referenced article about Quadriga. Was it...

Maverick -- Do you have a link that shows 15% performance in May? The link I have shows about 4-5%. Thanks.

Van Tharp, Perry Kaufman, John Murphy, Jake Weinstein, Stanley Kroll (RIP), John Hill, Elder Ok, all these guys are authors and probably made out real well selling books and even a few "systems". But as far as I know, they made their reputation writing about markets, not trading. So, who...

When Larry introduced volatility breakout in the early 80's it was definitely stuff that worked big time. I don't believe anyone has ever revealed any approach to the markets since that time that has enabled traders to make money like vb did. I optimized Trend Catcher on an Apple II2e and...

I have over 14 years of Futures trading experience but have not traded them since 1998. Because mutual funds are all getting tight assed about "market timing" I can no longer trade some very profitable fund systems. So, I think I'll be looking at Futures again. I have tried to sit down and make...

75% winning trades and 2.63 Avg/Win to lose ratio? What a crock. Pretty damn noble of them to be selling such a robust cash machine. If those systems perform anywhere near those numbers, they could manage as much money as they wanted and make a hell of a lot more than selling ultra...

If that's you Marty, do you remember Ken Khouri?

Maverick -- I just went to the Superfund Performance page and see the May results. How often do they update intra month?

In the early 80's, a dentist in Chicago, Alan Ko, took 25,000 and traded it to over 3 million in three years. He would have made an additional 3 million had he been trading during the crash of 87. However, he was visiting family in Hong Kong and was out of the markets. Alan Ko was well...

Gary -- What are your plans trading junk bonds now that Mutual Fund companies are changing the rules? I have already been banned as a "market timer" from one company and another now has an ERF of 1% if held less than 90 days. I know the arena for timing junk funds is closing fast. And I...

He signs it: Ryan Jones Trader Perhaps he meant Ryan Jones, Traitor

Does anyone remember back in the early to mid 80's when Marty was winning those trading contests? Remember the only guy who could keep up with him and even out perform Marty? A trader named Frankie Joe. He was featured in Barrons and his mantra was "Keep it Simple Stupid." As I recall, he...
