Hi, After trying to manually trade I started coding my systems so I can automate and backtest them. It seems its very hard for me to create a lasting intraday edge because of changing conditions. I can create a system that works with PF2+ for 2 years intraday but when conditions change it...

If it works so very well, why is he only trading 2 or 3 contracts?

Taking more losses than normal could indicate the market conditions have changed and the strategy could stop working until conditions change back. Although basing size on equity curve didnt succeed for me because it resulted in always taking the losses but missing out on the winners.

Most here require something more than a quickfix

I could help checking it trough that there are no bugs :)

Also in FX different animals. Since some currencies are treated as safe-havens and move suddenly in one direction in times of fear and slowly in another.

Yes its true its long only. But the market moves differently up and down so I had to have different strategies for each direction.

Hadnt seen that thread. A good one, tnx for the tip!

Hi, So, I am seeking advice on ET :) Or maybe some tips on the subject. Well, the issue I am having is that my automated strategies are built using daily bars. So when I am backtesting with NT and daily bars that gives me quite few trades over several years. In a sense few trades...

My neighbour told me tomorrow its going up. Or what do you want to know?

You sound clueless and delusional. Profit has nothing to do with meaningfulness and value to society, often quite the opposite. Read up on why stockmarkets were created. Hint: It was not to provide short-term gains to speculators.

Communication from AMP to existing Zen-fire customers WHY they should switch to CQG has been utter crapola. Suddenly they just sent instructions on HOW to do it, nothing about WHY or WHAT cqg is. Nothing about what are the benefits, cost savings or absolutely any info.

Imo sometimes it can be beneficial to exchange ideas with other traders and see other traders make mistakes so you can avoid them. But it can also be very bad if your own thinking gets derailed and you can potentially waste months or years on dead-ends. Long ago, when people didnt understand...

Great book, tnx.

Nice work

Lol, busted!

Imo unfortunately sounds like RVince just must try obscure and try to convince he has better stuff than Kelly, because Kelly is free and simple. Which I suppose RVince's stuff is not.

This is painful to watch. Many experienced and successful traders have given you good advice about stopping and you probably will also not listen to this advice. Take out 90% from your account to protect yourself.

Assuming ur not trolling: That is embedded in the odds.
