    IB Tracing Ip Address

    Can someone please answer me this hypothetical question. If I'm a non US citizen residing in my native country and I manage to set up an IBC and bank account in a tax free jurisdiction, then set up a futures account with a US brokerage, how can my native country know that I'm avoiding tax...

    gold & silver sector

    I believe gold is in for a huge up move. This up move will be long and slow with major pullbacks that may last months. Probably the best way to trade this market will be to identify smaller gold producers. Make a short list of those that are currently making smallish profits off there...

    We're going to War

    Maxpi, It's clear you've never actually been to the middle East. What the Israelis are doing to the palestinians is genocide. And America supports it. If someone took my family's land and shot my children in the streets I'd be pissed off to. You just can't go on slaughtering people...

    Yes can we have more information about the technical specifications of the product. Your website doesn't seem to provide much information about how it works. Runningbear

    4 letter word of 03?

    I have to agree. Gold is set for a leg up. Mostly as a deflationary hedge. $400 is less than six months off. Runningbear

    Any DAX daytraders here?

    DT-waw, I haven't backtested it yet. I have just been forward testing it for the last week or so. Needless to say, as a daytrading system, I would probably can it if it returned a 600 point draw down. I developed it for the NQ. It just seems to work well on the Dax though. Runningbear

    Any DAX daytraders here?

    I've developed a daytrading system which I recently applied to the DAX. It seems to work very well. I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me what a good average daily return is for daytrading the DAX futures contract. 10 points? 20 points? 30 maybe? Thanks, Runningbear

    Switching Computers-- How to Transfer Data?

    I suggest you back everything up to CD or buy an external hard drive. This way if you stuff anything up in the process of transferring your files, you have copies of the data stored safely. You should do this anyway just in case you fry a hard drive or a virus eats your files. External...

    Kept It Simple - Is This Something??

    They are excellent results. I would be happy with them if they could be averaged over a year. Is your system completly mechanical? If if is you should be able to backtest the strategy and see how it has performed in the past. If it has performed poorly in the past then it may just be that...

    What If a Nuke Goes Off in America?

    The answer is very simple. Don't trade with too much leverage. If you get caught long in the US markets, and the exchanges get closed like post Sept 11, make sure you have enough capital to take a short position in the European or asian markets, thus minimising the damage. If you can manage...

    anatomy of a backtest report

    I like the number of consecutive winners to be much higher than the number of consectutive losers. I think if you system has more than 9 or consecutive losers, your entry and exit criteria is not good enough. Max drawdown is only relative to account size and total return. Increase the...
