Finally some winners... breaking my 7+ trade losing streak. Preliminary tests on my edge show correct direction 30-90% of the time short term. I am still working on how to determine the best way to test/use the 'edge.' I'm testing roughly 10 years of data by hand on every commodity that has...

@ $14k (-41%)

Nothing to say, placing some trades based on my edge. Compiling and posting stats here when I get the time. @ $16k (-33%)

I think it's a bad idea.... almost everyone is long at this point!!! Market goes down, longs in pain, longs must sell, more market going down!

Have you tried timing commodities/FX or any one of the averages with this model?

Cuz the 1% want they money back from Steve Jobs.

I was hallucinating, even though there are seemingly repeatable patterns, they are very subjective... Without something concrete I don't think it will work in a foward test. Still doing tests.. @ $16k (-33%)

..... Actually the military is full of failure, and possibly corruption (depends on definition).

Continued testing... Looking for 1 price pattern. My God... I am seeing something that seems too good to be true.... Am I hallucinating? I'm being careful not to cherry pick trades or draw lines that I couldn't see as price develops. I will post stats and charts tomorrow. Going to go...

That's I'm sure one of the biggest problems I have had at least recently. And I have noticed some 'pro' traders on here place their stops 1 tick above or below their entry bar... This would have definitely saved me a lot of money recently. Another issue is with my edge, which tends to be more...

Super draw-down. @ 16k (-33%)

How do you 'leave' the internet when it's literally everywhere? I'm physically inside a network right now, and I'm sure I won't be able to escape it!

Sencond person to bring up ego related to trading. My ego does not affect my trading. I have executed trades like a machine recently and according to my rules and edge. I'm still working on purging my emotions related to money, but ego has no effect on my trading!

Equity curve, end of Feb 2012.

At least I won't have to pay taxes for a long time. Still long Cotton and Coffee. @ $18k (-25%)

Nope, I lied, I'm quite the retard. See my trading thread, I've lost a lot recently. No money making in markets means that you are stupid obviously.

Short crude, Long NG, Coffee, Cotton, Lumber @ $21k (-12.5%)

I don't hurt others in ways that karma can't come back and bite me. I don't physically harm others for joy. I have already been hurt by mankind in general and no I don't enjoy it. I just have to get revenge and seek justice on these wrong doers. I'm a hater? My ego is the same no matter...

I actually see quite the opposite of your observation re there being no correlation between interest & price movement. Frequently, heavy interest occurs @ bottoms. Also, huge volume doesn't mean that someone is betting for or against something... It simply means there were more...

Anyone notice the interest in UNG?
