no one is able to secure a constant and endless revenue from the ym or any other contract in the long run. sooner or later, the revenue will dry up. these discussions are fueled by the extremely indulgent environment we're assisting in the capital markets nowadays, which are granting...

the current ym action is very suitable to setup strategies to scalp a few points per day with minimum risk. that's why there are so many traders here saying, that's piece of cake. let me tell you this. sometimes i trade ym just for fun - one contract, just to see if i come up positive for the...

"My question is, how do I verify that this backtest is legitimate? Are there statistical tests that I can run to ensure that the system's success would also apply to today's markets?" you're looking for stochastic modeling such as the monte carlo method, that encompasses a technique of...

me too. edit - still down for me

good job gg. i like the dynamic bands as said earlier. for instance, given a certain weekly trend in the dax, one is able to determine a variance band that is projected into the future for probability analisys. this example shows the band for the previous week. as you can see, the dax was...

fx auto shows a -18.000 pips loss in their system. from what i read here, it looks like they will have to hire pretty good lawyers to bail them out of this mess.

-18,000 pips. that's a very good performance. congrats.

i also trade the dax and to the best of my knowledge, the dax is better read in 1H aggregation. i work with smaller aggregations including tick but the coherence of the signals never match the ones i get in 1H. re the signals itself, i am pretty comfortable with my prop system based on...

always trade at mid spread, avoid multi leg strategies and less liquid options. in the end, overcoming a 20% b/a spread on the long run is like paying 20% of your net transaction balance to someone else and that's a lot of negative burden on your side, especially after you've made several...

great, $300bil. in chinese arb. thats all we need to cool off the markets right now.

you have to register in your residency country. and in most countries i know, the regulator doesn't allow that or establishes extremely high hurdles. if they do allow you, dont do that as part of verbal agreement as pointed out earlier before. chances are, you're end up in court or in prison...

dont bother. we're doomed to another ltcm-like episode. too much easy money on the table. the question is knowing whether the world will head into a epic recession sparked by this event and when will it hit.

they received a bonus instead. after all they could have toasted much more and that deserves some recognition. :D

try the globex fop's on eur/usd instead. the bid ask spread is not nice but it will provide you protection against an adverse move. probably you can suit your small scale trading into one lot FOP and have a magnified return whenever you trade gets direction right, as gamma will manufacture...

too many rotter alter egos in here. 10k lot flipper anyone?

the fut is traded almost exclusively as part of program or arb trading algos. manual folks are being squeezed to death and i dont believe they can survive any longer. still a good instrument to trade on fundamental, technical or both data because it moves and it's quite liquid. if you...

it is going to get rough no doubt.

2gigs ram for everything.

i guess your cup and handle theory didnt pay out here, eh?
