A couple of quick questions if you don't mind. 1) How many trades did you do per day on average on ES/NQ when you were trading them? 2) You are working on some e-futures, and then you said they include ES/NQ, I am a bit confused here. Do you mean, other than ES/NQ, the rest like ZB, YM...

Hi, I am interested in what makes you confident to take this path of setting up your own hedge fund. Do you have a track record? Do you trade mainly equities or futures/options and do you intend to trade foreign markets or currencies. Also, are you trading a system and is this system...

Nitro, So, obviously you are not trading ES right now, right? What are you trading now? Thanks

Do not keep using 9/11 as an example. Anybody who are swing trading or long term trading futures, stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc etc are exposed to this kind of risk. Make no mistake, trading is a risky business. I am really sick of people using 9/11 to disprove of selling premium. Your stop or...

Selling options have a definite edge, especially if you at least try to split the spread when you are selling. You have to hedge yourself by setting a stop either in the options itself or in the underlying for an imperfect hedge. This is one of the best strategy because it captures the fat...

Have you bought a copy of Aberration and traded it?

% return can be unambiguosly calculated only in the context of managing a fund. If one wants to calculate their own % return, then they must first have an initial value for their portfolio. In the simplest example, lets assume that the trader wants to trade 1 contract of ES, he must allow...

Thanks for sharing. What market do you trade? How many trades do you do on average per day? Do you execute manually or autotrade them?

How many signals do you get on average per day?

Interesting indeed. I always thought that was the case but hesitated to go into options writing because I read in "Winner Takes All", that over the long run, there is no advantage being a seller. This article definitely gets me interested again.

I am just wondering to all the expert options trader here, did you start out trading options or were you trading other instruments first and then added options? For those who currently trade options as their primary instrument, do you also trade futures(not as a hedge, but an outright position...

Michael, I am no advanced trader but i like to exchange ideas and ask questions on things that I do not know. I think you got your terms mixed up here. Money management, as I understand, refers to that part of your trading plan which tells you how much to bet(buy/sell) as a percentage of...

What does the embedded virus do? How do you know if you had the virus if the antivirus did not pick up?

Thanks. Great info.

nitro, Isn't it better to at least forward test systems that have backtested well? Of course, this does not mean that one merely reverse engineer a system from past data and come out with an optimised system. What if you think of an idea that at least makes some sense and then backtest it...

Michael, Maybe you should leave it as it is because you don't want to optimise too much. Did you mention anywhere why you only enter limit at H3 and L3. What about H2,H1,L2,L1? And what is the total profit to date since starting this thread? How about any backtested results prior to this...

Thanks. Another question is the possibility of hackers stealing information from your computers . I am not talking about things like your surfing habits or passwords, but actually accessing your files and perhaps transfer some word or excel files from your system. I know it is possible but any...

Referring to your "no confirmation just MIT with reverse or BE", what is BE? Breakeven or Breakout??? Also, did you mention anywhere what is your formula for the pivots? May I also know how long you have been trading? because you said that you do not even have a charting service. And what...

What is a Java Attack and browser hijack? Where can I get FIREFOX? Do I have to uninstall IE before installing Firefox? Can I have 2 different browsers? Is it true that Firefox might not support some Java stuff? Thanks a lot.
