It's my money, bhale.

LOL candle that's a weird analogy - Can I see that mansion? :D RE Whether you have to take extraordinary risks to get rich -Bullshit! The more risk you take, the more likely it is that an unfavorable excursion (which will eventually come) sends you down the abyss. In the long run...

That'll add a few points my "bearish vs bullish overall market analysis spreadsheet"... Very sad thing, though... Hope this ain't excuse for another "war on terrorism" :( ~Scientist

I'd like to know is what other ET members think about reduced profitability of widely used trading systems due to distribution? I mean, with a trading system like the eMesa for the e-mini's - If eSignal sends an email to (probably millions) of eSignal users, with potentially hundreds of...

So I guess you automatically assume that the eMESA system for the emini's has no profitable returns? :D ~Scientist

My tip to everybody who uses trading systems (I've written a few myself): If the system proves to work - Follow it RELIGIOUSLY! -Put on every trade generated -Sit through every trade entered If you don't do exactly this, you will defy the point of any trading system. The system...

Maybe you just don't know how to use or apply the indicators?? Like said before - You might have to sit through drawdowns etc. and you should be able to understand what the indicators do. An indicator doesn't make for a whole trading system. Indicators are extremely variable, but most work...

My girlfriend vehemently disagrees. :D indahook, do you hedge? I mean, do you go both long and short, no matter what market? If so, what's your position balance preference? 70/30 towards the current trend? 50/50 at all times? Some other distribution? Birthday stocks for ya? Hmm...

Awesome issue indahook. Wouldn't have spotted that myself... :D This man makes me feel shortsighted. I should look up from my intraday's a bit more and get a better overall picture.... Holding positions for that long would scare me, indahook! I guess I gotta practice that a bit... My...

Just the word "su*cker" said by minimi himself is a joke on its own. Hello minimi, you sound a little familiar? Aren't U that spammer that keeps re-registering under new names? Anybody here? Come on, minimi, just because mummy took the breast away so early doesn't mean you have to put...

Yeah - That's a funny one - Or not? I try to stay away from curve-fitting / optimization altogether. I consider it somewhat of a "Damokles' Sword" - The horse-hair will tear. Eventually.... :cool: However, I don't condemn curve-fitting at all. I think it's a very necessary part of trading...

This up-front : TURN THE F*CKEN CAPS LOCK OFF WHEN YOU'RE TYPING WE CAN ALL HEAR YOU BUT READIBILITY REALLY SUFFERS WHEN YOU USE CAPS AND YOUR EYES GET TIRED WHICH IS WHY THEY WRITE EULA'S LIKE THIS - SO YOU DON'T READ THEM AND JUST ACCEPT... SO TURN THE F*CKEN CAPS LOCK OFF THANK YOU Next...

Funny that, swoop - Here in WA (Western Australia) we don't have white swans at all. They're all black. The black swan is even the symbol of our flag. So, just going to Western Australia wouldn't only refute, but completely reverse that theory. Just as you may say there are no black swans...

I don't know. It just 'got there'. Currently they are: -Execution platform (IB) -Index Charts (Futures) -Stock scanning / screening / pattern development (OmniTrader) -Equity Charts and applied analysis (eSignal (yeah I know it's lame but it works for me)) -The same once more - but with...

Sounds interesting, but I'd appreciate if you could explain those points in slightly less demanding terms. I'm not an 'advanced graduate', right? Black swan? Cheers, ~Scientist

AWESOME contribs Madison. You're on my side. There's even a link I didn't know yet... Cheers, ~Scientist

LOL what a cruisy job! And so much more mobile! I should retire to position trading... :cool: That way I could trade from my single laptop in my dream Bahama beach hut - -Rather than trying to explain to the gentlemen at customs that the 2 ATX towers and the 7 LCD's with swingarms in my...

Well I wasn't accusing you :D Doesn't limit me - If I made as much money at the casino as I do daytrading, they'd throw me out pretty quickly I think (that's the beauty of trading - Brokers won't comp, but they'll do their best to keep winners!) Gambling is, in a way easier than...

I think that's nonsense. She was a school teacher.... ~Scientist
