    Jim Simons Trashes Trend Following

    Call me crazy, but looks like TF has worked pretty damn well since the 80's. These guys who criticize TF"s are just haters/jealous. The numbers below over the long term are tremendous. People who invested in funds like this have made a fortune...

    Scalping Futures

    Great point about slippage. I forgot to mention that. Most execution software on Sim mode are very generous on fills getting in (they might show lets say 400 lots on the bid in ES and fill you on a buy after the first two trades on the bid, regardless of the trade size, which most of the time...

    Scalping Futures

    There are a few really good Futures brokers out there. A few things. 1) $5-6$ is on the expensive side for futures. I trade my PA though Amp (www.ampfutures.com) and have been very happy so far. You can check out commissions. They are pretty much at the same level/cost as the others out...

    Jim Simons Trashes Trend Following

    Yes, there was a lot of questioning about what trades were going to his Renaissance/employee only fund and which ones were going to outside investors. There have been questions about front running tactics. He has a bit of a checkered past. From the other thread on here: 2) Earlier court...

    What sort of mathematics does Jim Simons use for his hedge fund?

    That is definitely part of his edge.

    R.I.P. - Don Bright

    That's too bad. Seemed like a great guy. Never got to meet him but heard only good things about the guy. Always was a straight shooter on here.

    Looking for help

    Unfotunately most of the people out there who are willing to "mentor you" are the crooks you speak of who want up front money to teach you their "methods". Those types are not good traders and have methods with serious flaws. I have never heard of a good mentor who would go to work for free and...

    You were also banned for disrupting other threads with your constant whining about other methods not working. I guess you were banned more than once.

    I am predicting that US stock markets will have to temporarily close in the next month

    Mondays opening was something I have never seen on any kind of opening. Been trading since 1992. Even during 2008 on gap downs it was somewhat orderly. You had flushes but nothing like the move from the first limit down to the 2nd one. Something seemed very different. Also was very strange...

    Will a Technical Pattern ever stop working/appearing?

    You know Surf. I have tried to be civil/cool with you. But you are childish. Really man. You are the guy who has admitted to using aliases...been thrown outta here before....involved in crazy disputes with others on here that almost ended in lawsuits. You are a disease to this place. Baron is...

    I am predicting that US stock markets will have to temporarily close in the next month

    Damn....that's harsh amigo. But like the other dude said, if the debacle in 2008 didn't shut things down, I don't think this will. I think we are going to have some batshit crazy moves like the close today.....but total shut down.....don't see it.

    Ok Marketsurfer. Good luck with your paper trading. You are so obvious. And so sad.

    Will a Technical Pattern ever stop working/appearing?

    Wow......you have to be one of Surf's aliases. You created this one 10 days ago...nice work. ET should institute a new rule, new members can't post for 2 weeks. Keep these aliases out of here. You are saying people who follow rules and use risk management are going to the poor house. Perhaps...

    Will a Technical Pattern ever stop working/appearing?

    I know traders with plenty of as you call it "genuine experience" who have made a lot of money this way. Guys in the business 20+ years. Still crushing it. Guys with plenty of AUM. They have great discipline and risk management skills on top of an excellent strategy.. Unlike others who have...

    Will a Technical Pattern ever stop working/appearing?

    I was going to reply , but this post by wrbtrader says it all. Great post. Patterns do repeat time and time again. Well thought out strategies that have been back tested will continue to work. It comes down to correct execution (don't over-think when you have a set up), adjust for decent...

    Will a Technical Pattern ever stop working/appearing?

    Yes....and the pattern of buying the DJIA after 3 down days (which you are a big believer) also must never work. So I guess all the studies that your boy VN does, you know looking at PAST data are also all bs as well. Seriously Surf, STFU with your inconsistent crap on here. If someone you...

    Make any money today?

    Yes me too. There systems held up great. I use TT and it was moving tick for tick with the market. Even during the first limit down to the 2nd one. No delays...Very impressive.

    Make any money today?

    No. You are the worst. Quit now. Everybody made a fortune today. Kidding dude. Better to observe then to jump into something you aren't used to or your strategy isn't prepared for. Last time I checked the markets are open again tomorrow. You might be lucky as i heard they are open the...

    Make any money today?

    I use esignal. It didn't have any delays even during the carnage in the ES. The charts were going tick for tick with the ladders on my TT. Both systems worked perfectly during the insanity today.
