I have target profit set at 214.75 . . . just missed it, but I'm sure it will get hit EDIT: lol, just missed target by I think 1 pip, gotta love that spread . . . headed to lunch

Well, that looks A LOT more in-line with my research. And remember, this is only for half of 2007 using fixed lots. If you go back until January and increase tradin size along with an increasing balance, returns are MUCH greater. I demonstrated this in my excel sheet on the blog.

I do remember running an equity curve for my portfolio of the three TAB signals. On a $2,000 portfolio the largetst initial draw-down was about $500 I believe. As my balance increases and I add size, I will slowly lower the leverage.

Entered a limit order to sell at 216.10 I'll update if/when filled EDIT: . . . filled @ 1:13pm EST

Thanks for your input Saraf. In my blog I included a post with excel files that show all the trades of 2007 pulled from TAB'S C2 page. The systems do run well and there would not have been a large losing month. I'm confident that my funds should be sufficient, but you are right. A worst...

Hi Saraf, you might be interested in reading my blog as we are both on a similar adventure: www.cambisttrading.blogspot.com Regards

No clear signs for me right now. I might consider shorting any rally into the 216.20 area looking for the low 214.00s and take a long from there, but I'm not taking a position mid-range.

I just closed my 213.90 longs for +230 pips and on the sidelines for now

I guess I'm too small time for that lol What broker do you trade spot through?

Hey atticus, where do you trade your FX options?

For all interested, I have started my blog. It can be viewed here: http://cambisttrading.blogspot.com/

For anyone that is interested, I'll be starting my blog (hopefully) tonight. TAB has initiated it's frist trade of 2008, although it has not been filled yet. It's nice to see it there so that I know that they are in the background doing their thing now and I have my account and portfolio set...

LOL, yes thanks for catching that! Wow, could you imagine the draw-down one would be suffering if holding longs from 231.90? YIKES!

Well, no real gap to start of this early Sunday trading. Still holding longs from 231.90 and will wait to see what Europe brings.

I may be crazy, but I took longs at 213.90 and holding through the weekend. I think a bounce to at least 216.00 is very likely, but would obviously cover/reverse on a break of the 213.40 area. Also, (and I know this is a weak arguement) G/J seems very oversold and a lot has to do with the...

Well, Team Aphid Bird didn't start putting trades through this week so I'm assuming it will begin next week. Remember they take the second half of December off. I'll be starting a blog about it all once the first trade is initiated and will post the link here.

I started a ROTH when I turned 14. Good ol' dad made me a deal. If I worked all summer and made the maximum to put in it, he'd match it. So basically, all I had to do was make the money (legal purposes) and he'd put in the max for me out of his own pocket. I'm 25 now and it's by far the...

You cannot make money as an individual attempting to do high frequency arbitrage. I worked for a couple years at a proprietary firm in Chicago that specializes in high-frequency arb (I was on the FX desk). Trades lasted less than milliseconds and we were constantly trying to be more efficient...

LOL too funny!
