Do you guys think it would be possible for a mutual fund to successfully technically trade a market by using a trend-based reversing positions strategy (e.g., using a channel breakout)? I mean the obvious answer is 'yes <w/ proper construction and maintenance>', but let's say you could do a...

momo?

Hehe, if only it were that simply ^_^

Has anybody had much success trying to trade regime-switching technical analysis models? I.e., it actively tries to determine whether to buy/sell (so you're just reversing your position) or if it should buy/exit short/exit (so it exists and doesn't reverse) I've been playing around w/ it...

I want to see it drop like a rock just to amuse myself watching allt he chickens runing around w/ their heads chopped off ^_^

haha ^_^

we're all going to die tomorrow!!!! eeeeeek!!!!

But where do you draw the line in terms of liquidity? E.g., If I have $4M in long-term GICs (or as you americans call them, CDs) I can't touch the capital. It's guaranteed interest though but it's totally illiquid. But yea, I can't understand including houses (other than to pad the figure...

assets-liabilities; of course it includes 401k and stuff like that But really, what do you expect? It's 2006 and the general attitude of North Americans is - I want I want I want I want, I WANT NOW! CHARGE IT!

nope ^_^ (unless you want to program it like I did :D )

yea, sorry, i was talking about closed-end funds.

they don't carry HISTORICAL information :)

so far i think the only ones are bloomberg and lipper....any others? :(

I can't belive anybody would actually admit to working for swift trade ^_^ just for the hell of it once I went to one of their recruiting seminars at the University campus - riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, I can work from 1-3pm each day, and spend the rest of the day playing Quake or...

I didn't know fasttrack ever had a forum?

Is anybody aware of a service that carries daily (or even weekly) historical premium/discount information for closed-end funds? I know etfconnect carries it in a limited form (only going back a year or two and on a monthly basis); curious if ther'es anything else out there that offers more...

you're going to be screwed if they both enter directinless phases at the same time :) ....and only holding 2 commodites, i don't really liek your chances very much.

Yea, most CEFs don't seem to have that much liquidity to justify intra-day trading, but I was thinking along the lines of daily trading.....although I don't think many professional firms base their stuff solely around daily bars, hehe.
