this is the p/l of my trading system. i execute the trades, but its purely a black and white set of rules. simple trend following really. the secret is the positioning.

i'm a cleveland indians fan, so i know what it means to get close and lose big. one thing that i just realized: it won't be the cubs vs. the redsox in the world series, because nobody would win.

also, i wish i would have known that the majority opinion is usually wrong.

floor pivot points

i don't know about your methods of trading, but when i trade my stops are based on the market trend, not the entry price. i think IB has it correct on this one.

every morning you have to jump on the train. every evening you must get off. in between you must capture the market's movement. think about how you make sure this happens without getting whipsawed around alot. and also think about how you jump onto the train. how do you 'reset' yourself so...

people, why aren't you using an execution platform for IB? i mean seriously? why even bother with this? some sort of s&m thing?

really? take a look at the DOW from 1900 to 1950. tell me that after the crash (1929-1933) we saw more or less volitility? more is the correct answer. take a look at the DOW from 1980 to 1995. tell me that after the crash (1987) we saw more or less volitility? more is the correct...

no i don't. why? because i haven't had any problems with my system. if there becomes a problem, then i will probably look to see if this might help, but until then i'm just gonna execute my system. don't fix what isn't broken!!

i would tell you, but then i'd have to kill you. :cool: seriously though, obviously i'm not gonna give away my strategy completely, but you can easily come up with one on your own. just sit and watch the market until you get it. plot the pivot lines (from the excel sheet that i gave...

that is the sexiest thing i've ever heard

oops i forgot someone might actually read this stuff ;)

fast....unless flash has multiple systems trading at the same time, and he's 'trading' his strategies, there really is no reason for him to 'predict' trendiness.... ....on the other hand, if you WERE to 'trade' your systems, meaning that you put on one system when certain conditions exist and...

having the holy grail is about you perceiving the market correctly. that means having a system that basically captures the daily price movement. i have developed a system that does this, so do i have the holy grail? to find this out, you should ask yourself one question: am i as a trader...

flash...depends on what strategy you are playing, but today was just another day..don't worry too much about it. if you are 'getting killed' on a day like this, then maybe your strategy isn't that good. make sure you keep good statistics on your p/l so you know whether its just not working or...
