Compound interest, like high leverage, is a double-edged sword. It can help you, then again, it can hurt you. When you mentioned compound interest, I already know you are putting principal and profits (some if not all) back on the table. If your success rate is high, and you have excellent...

1) I agree with someone's comment about leading indicator...there isn't one really one. I suppose those who trade stocks can and should use futures as the indicator. The logic behind it is easy to understand. If you have an understanding of how index arb. works, you will know why it is wise...

To improve your trading, perhaps, you could look at long-term (longer period) trend. Also, look at what the futures are doing. Futures sometimes will lead the indexes (which influence the stocks within those indexes).

Time, but not neccesarily time candles. The shorter the time frame, the more accurate the picture you get of short term movement. Tick gives a much more accurate entry and exit signals, but it is so much work monitoring tick by tick. Also, depending on your trading style, you may find...

I am currently using TradeNavigator Platinum to backtest my system. Of course, we all know the backtesting is only as good as the data that you use. TradeNavigator seems to have unreliable historical data. It is not clean. So, their backtesting system is useless. Just check out their 1...

Dan, Setting high and unrealistic goals = forcing yourself to take on increased risks. This is how many beginners lost everything they had. (I was one myself) The more important question to ask yourself first is: what is the safest way to invest my money? You should focus on finding...

The follow question pertains to the DOW and SPX: If you know today which index will outperform the other tomorrow (in terms of percent increase/decrease), do you think you can make money with this knowledge?

I just verified the accuracy of their historical (NQ) with CME, and I am surprised to find that their data is even more accurate than Tradestation's. Darn Tradestation!

By the way, does tradestation calculate fair value for the eminis? If so, do you guys know what the symbol is?

Dont' know if i know how to change the session start/end, yet! Just started using it! Didn't even read the guide!

They are as you say. I am looking for both ! Does tradestation have NQ fair value? If so, what's the symbol for it? I can't seem to find it!

Has anyone verify the accuracy of Tradestation's Data, especially, their historical data on the Eminis? I just signed up for a trial of their platform, and I noticed that their NQ data is inaccurate. (e.g. Their end of day data on the NQ according to 12/30/05 is: Open: 1668, High...

Ah crap! Tetrahedron has 4 faces, you're right! I remember wrong! And the cubes are glued together, ahaha, read it wrong! Tricky! I guess I failed this test so far :(

Check my post on the "Index Futures" thread.

Check my post on the "Index Futures" thread.

Why don't you backtest it with historical data? Then maybe, you will find out the right exits and entries.

Ty, I just signed up for their 7 days trial. Hope they have historical data on the fair value.

Indexarb.com uses the following symbols as they have mentions here... [The S&P 500 premium can be seen on the CNBC ticker with the symbol of PREM, which precedes their FV, fair value. Other data feeds use the symbol of $PREM.X, $PREM, or SP-PREM. The NASDAQ 100 premium has the symbol of...

Given the 1 month time frame, anyone could do this! There should be a time limit to accurately test a person's IQ. And oh, the first 28 question is not an intelligence test. 25. Five square (they said squares, not a cubes. So you can stack them vertically too.) 28. The example is wrong...

Does anyone know a reliable source to get historical data on nq fair value (or prem.)?
