Thanks for your feedback. I don't have enough skills to answer all your remarks, but I agree with you on almost everything you said. Some quick thoughts about your post, in random order: My example of going randomly long or short on any stock at any time was an extreme example, but it was...

Thank you for the links.

You see, gono, I'm part of "small minority" in general, but maybe even part of a "majority" here, in this section of Elite Trader forums. Edbar says "the 10%/month strategy". That's exactly what I have. At a point, after 5 years of tests on TradeStation, I realized that I couldn't build a...

As my automated trading keeps on producing money, the same question keeps on popping up in my mind: how can it be possible? How can I, from home, with my very limited means, limited knowledge, limited capital, make money, pretty consistently, and without doing anything? I am sure there are...

Thank you both for your help.

Well, the system I posted (with report and Easylanguage code) is based on the EUR (forex future), and that's all I am focused on right now.

Well, I am not very good at understanding the difference between the terms you are using. I had a system with many trades, and the % of wins wasn't high enough, so I was trying to "filter out" some of the bad trades. That's why I used the term "filters". Also, as I explained, I want to keep...

I need to go back to school and study math all over again. The formulas for Kalman and Particle filters are way too complicated for me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_filter It seems much harder than learning VBA (which took me years)...

Thank you, I will look into it.

Thank you for your reply, which is very clear and useful.

Hey, here is the tradestation report, attached (with the easylanguage code included into a sheet I created). If anyone wishes to look at it. I put my best efforts at it for the past few hours. I only came up with a system that trades about once a week. It gets two trades right, out of three...

So here's what my idea was. I am going to tell you, because someone might be interested. Roughly speaking, a good and consistent system I found is to simply get an average and buy against it (if you're below the average go LONG and viceversa), for example on the EUR. It works year after...

Good call - time zones. That's something I use as well. Moving averages. Yes, I am going to try that. Thank you both.

Thanks to both of you for sharing your ideas on this thread.

This, here below, is a good, thought-provoking post, and thread. But - I've been thinking about your post for a few days - and I sense there is a problem. It does convey a meaningful message (and I learned something from it, so I thank you), "don't trade all the time, but wait for big...

I am looking for some parameters to filter intraday signals. Anyone can suggest me some that work? Thank you. (E.g.: moving averages, RSI, range...).

Thanks for your story.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I agree with Ed when he says "The fact is, if anyone could honestly tell you a stock that was going to go up in the next 5 minutes, they would be richer than Bill Gates!". I have always thought the same thing, while listening to these journalists/experts...

I always wanted to ask a question to those who make money with trading and yet are offering help to other traders (even if they are charging a fee for that help), and I am assuming that you are telling the truth, don't get me wrong. Of course, there's also some of those selling systems and...

Ok, I might do 4, too, as you advise and I agree with its advantages. Besides, the paper trading mode is available with IB's TWS, so I can use it while I wait. On the other hand, an important "con" you forgot (at least in my case) is "you paper-trade and you make a lot of money and you're...
