like larrybf said, get a paypal acct. and i'll contribute

Neither, just thinking out loud.

I have a system that looks beautiful on paper. Runs off the 2min charts, avg. profit is about .4%. It works on any high volume stock. With no margin, it returns about 70% a year. Backtests well since '98 (as far as SWP can go). I'm not so naive as to think these returns could be achieved in...

I don't understand why the manager's trading records before the fund are so irrelevant. Those records shouldn't be the basis for entering the fund nor should they be a guarantee of the fund's future success, but still, if I were entering into a relatively new fund, I would feel better...

Is it common for hedge fund managers to include their personal trading records before their hedge fund was formed? Are such records looked upon with skepticism?

On that summation chart you posted, how do you determine when to go short/long?

Sometimes I'll input some backtest parameters and the results flow out very quickly. Other times, like now, the damn thing just will not work. It's like it's stuck. Sometimes when this happens, I restart the computer which fixes the problem. Other times I just try again later. Why does...

wow, wasn't expecting that. that little space above the dow is usually reserved for impt. financial info.

what is it? it's sitting on top of the Dow's numbers on CNBC.

magicwri is mr. matrix in all likelihood.

HAHAHAHAHA...This just keeps getting better! :D You're right, I'll never become a successful trader. So in the meantime, could you give me lessons on how to be a successful con artist?

Here's the first one: CCI[CCI,20,D] >= 5 & CCI[CCI,20,D] <= 25 & Stochastic[StocK,14,3,1,D] < 30 & 65DayAvgVolume >= 1000000 & Bar[Close,D] > 20 change the "D"s to whatever timeframe you want. About the 1mm or more volume-- if you scan thousands of stocks for 1mm or more volume, the...

hahahahahhahaaaaaaaa so if you know the guy personally, perhaps you'd tell us why he's selling his "ATM machine" when doing so could jeopardize his ability to capitalize on it.

I signed up with Suretrade (now Quick and Reilly) the day I turned 18! Then the exciting part came-- losing all of my money!!!!

I think you're still drunk...what the hell are you talking about?

I'm just talking out of my ass here, but I'm guessing short-term futures day traders make up an impressive absolute number, but a small relative number in terms of political importance.

No, I don't, but how else are you going to appeal to them? Their own self-interest doesn't matter because futures traders are too few to affect them. Whoever or whatever prompted them to change the law is more influential than a few hundred letters from a bunch of distraught day traders.

While some of you have eloquently expressed your outrage at the proposed changes, none have really explained why keeping 60/40 tax treatment will be adventageous to the economy or the country. Simply writing your representative to say you're mad won't work, especially since futures traders are...

Damn that's an ugly chart!!!! Good God man! Fiddle with the colors and spacing or something! How can live day in and day out with that aesthetic monstrosity you call a chart??!!!

If you feel so badly, donate some or all of your short profits to cancer research so that other, more capable companies can use the money.
