I read the news that France has imposed 75% tax on income over 1 million euro. given that in 1970, the US tax for rich was as high as 70%, and democrats could possibly occupy white house for a long time in the era of economic depression, such high tax is very possible. what do you think?

go ahead to find a money that can make consistent profits from markets for 60+ no losing months with draw down less than 1% and hundreds of thousands of trades.

that does not mean mark knows how to trade the market. you think bill gates is a better trader than me?

Losers in the market blame HFT. in all market, there are always losers and winners.

is your system is based on single chart or something else?

given her background, who would invest her so much money to play in the market?

the real incentive is that you should provide a system that worth decoding. if you have a mechanical system that has 75% win ratio, and the average win at least not bigger than loss, I will take your challenge. It is idiot for anyone to spend months on a garbage system just to prove it is a...

I said I decoded one of such strategies before, though not sure 100% identical, but at least I benefited a lot.

people worry about reverse engineering because it is hard for them to detect such activity. i have said most of such activities occur not in the level of firms but individual employees. how could someone prove his strategy has been decoded? since I successfully decoded one strategy from a...

I agree it is very few strategies that is easy to decode and profitable. but for a broker like IB, who has 140,000 active traders, I believe the number is not small. As long as the strategy is based on individual chart only, it is not hard to decode.

1) you confuse general traders with specific profitable traders. for example, you do not know if OP has a profitable strategy or not, and in my case, I have a profitable strategy and I have worries about reverse-engineering, and I decoded other's strategy before. 2) again, you confuse broker...

not true for mechanical strategies.

I know some one who is extremely successful in day trading only works on single chart. unfortunately I do not have many of his trades. possibly James Simons' system is abased on single chart too, since he diversifies among so many markets.

if I do not know he trades only on chart, i have no way to decode his system. but anyway, for day traders here on et, i feel possibly most of people trade only on chart.

for example, in one forum, I often followed one guy who posted real time trading signals on stocks. I know he traded on candlestick chart. so every time he posted his signal, I checked the chart, most of time, he traded on 1-min chart. from a number of charts, it is obvious he trades on...

in your case, the number of parameters is not three, since there are too many other markets like USD/EUR. we are talking about a trading system based only on one candlestick chart.

I decoded a profitable trading system my self, though it is not trivial, and I could not say I have reverse engineered 100% identical to the original, since i do not have too many trades from the system, but I can design my own profitable trading based on the decoding.

I do not agree with this. for example, if I have a 1000 trades out of a mechanical system, at least I can see the common scenario when the 1000 trades take place.

it depends on the length of your holding time and the stop loss. lifting one level at bid or ask does not influence your entry price, that is the minimal share you can trade one time.

if i am not wrong, I remember that if you specify the ecn yourself instead of using "smart" routing, either you can not use unbundled fee structure or you would be charged for an additional fee.
