I thought that "Mastering Futures Trading : An Advanced Course for Sophisticated Strategies that Work" by Bo Yoder was a somewhat decent book. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071420347/sr=1-13/qid=1144445386/ref=sr_1_13/002-7281502-5108055?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=books

Thanks IB!

OK here. Try changing the server (Ctrl-Alt-n).

007, I'm confused by your "value ranges", which appear to be only one point wide. Are you actually refering to an approximate value of the POC? Richard

bolter, Many thanks for your great contribution. Now that this thread is coming to an end don't be a stranger; start up another great thread any time you can. :) All the best, Richard

Considering that these are the 10 best systems, I can only conclude that a lot of systems have been struggling in the past 3 or so years, or there is too much emphasis being placed on historical performance. I was interested to see that Fitschen is still selling Aberration (and also...

Can one auto-trade using X-trader? If so, how is this accomplished?

I assume from the above that one can execute orders from QT. Do you also now provide an API to the execution functions thus allowing automated trading? Richard

Recently I looked at SR closely for possible deployment of my trading strategies. The biggest problem I have with them is that even if you do all your own programming, SR still needs to verify your code (at a cost to you (of course)) before you can deploy it. Also I like the flexibility of...

40yotrader, I'm following this journal with much interest. I wish you all the best in your goal. It appears that your present trading filter is a bit more complicated that your previous filter from your original journal where you only took a trade if the previous day's range was less than...

The general rule for rollover is this, taking SP as an example: The S&P futures expire the 3rd Friday of the month in March, June, Sept,and Dec. The day before the 2nd Friday of the month (Thursday) is the day the new contract begins to trade actively. This will usually be the 2nd Thursday of...

Andy, Sorry to see you go. But do come down when we have our Portland meeting. To answer your original question, some years back I did go to the party at the Space Needle for New Year's Eve. Nice event but be ready to spend some money. Richard

Have you just moved from Portland to Seattle? Richard PS. I'm in Portland, and thinking of organizing a trader's get together sometime in the new year.

Steve, Can you tell me what are your exact backtestable rules for this trade. (In case this is already addressed above, I apologize). Richard

And the intraday margin extends only until 3:45 EST, at which time they'll offset whatever contracts you have in your account that aren't supported by the overnight (exchange) margin rate. It if for this reason, I'm also looking elsewhere. Shortseller, please PM me the name of the...

40yotrader, How many systems are you now trading? Is the volatility breakout system (form your journal) still your main (or only) system? How did this system perform this year with the market's low volatility and lack of follow through? Richard PS. My goal for 2006 is to trade fully...

Murray, Is that the system known as the "Dynamic Break Out" system? (If so, I've seen the origination of this system being attributed to George Pruitt). Nevertheless, would you mind listing what basket of commodities would you trade with this system? Richard

mogul, That's a great photo!! Richard

Raystonn, As far as I understand it, it is the exchanges that actually set the overnight margin rate but have little interest in the intra-day margin rate that brokers offer. Richard
