I recently developed a strategy that seemingly works quite well when tested on EOD data for the past 500 days. Unfortunately, the results are less impressive when viewed against longer time frames. Obviously markets and the nature of markets change over time. No two markets will be the same...

I hope things work out in the best way possible given the circumstances.

Nitro. It looks like it might be worth picking up. A few months back I bought a Tom Demark book and while the book was chalk full of good ideas, it was next to useless unless you bought his proprietary software. I hate making the same mistake twice.

:mad: I ask a serious question and I get bumped down to Chit-Chat level because of the replies? Arggggg... :mad:

To Number 10 :eek:

As a book reviewer! Actually, I wanted to ask about your comments regarding the code used in "Professional Stock Trading". Is the code included in the book? I have no problem with typing out a few pages of code if it'll save me $500. What REALLY pisses me off is when authors allude to code...

You make taxable gains in the US, Are a citizen of country A but are a resident of country B. Where do you pay taxes?

But don't you think you should try to arrive at your own conclusions?

That I "design and implement derivative and equity systems." He was very impressed and told me how interesting he thought that sounded. He wondered how I got started. I told him that I got interested in the markets during the "daytrading era." He proceeded to make fun of daytraders never...

But you can call TS and have them set the margin rate at 0 , 2x , or 4x. You'd still have the PDT rating but without the margin.

I can read a thread and feel intelligent!!

"Make it boring" You might give some thought to the way you perceive the market place. I skimmed your posts and saw the words "smacked" and "battlefield" and "bullets" frequently. I know these are nothing more than attempts to express an idea, but it's easy to get caught up in an image of how...

Sometimes TS can be frustrating. As someone pointed out, easylanguage isn't so easy. Personally, I think I like it because it allows me to immediately toss away ideas that apparently have no hope of working. I can focus my attention on ideas that show potential or need refinement. It's a good...

This might simply be a question of semantics, but could you not argue that the REASON FOR the market and the FUNCTION OF are two separate things? For example, the reason for the market might be as Chasinfla said to facilitate efficient exchange of private property. The function of the markets...

and was the first one kicked off. The hypnotist created an image in our minds of an ignition. When the key turned over, our hands came together involuntarily. Some guys were on the floor they were pressing their hands together so hard. My hands came together really strong and it freaked me out...

You should try and do it yourself. I use TS6 and I really struggle with the "Not-so-Easy-Language." However, by not hiring someone to do the programing for me I'm developing a skill that I'll hopefully continue to draw upon and I'm becoming more intimate with my systems. Get those thoughts...

I know this has been addressed to some extent on other psychology threads, but perhaps a separate thread should be devoted to the metaphors we use to visualize our endeavors. Here are a few of the ways I visualize the trading process. Trading: is like being at the cottage and deciding I'd...

The thread says August, but the poll says September??? Anyway as for myself, August pretty much sucked. I tried to force some trades in the first few days and paid for it the rest of the month. September has been pretty good to date... Luck to all.

Well Aphuk, you said if you were wrong you'd dance naked on Wall Street. Think about it, one little tick against you and you're stuck in jail for indecent exposure (a metaphor for your posts, perhaps?). As someone pointed out, how many positions would you want to carry over a weekend in the face...

whether it's worth the money will be up to you. On the one hand anything that is of genuine benefit is worth more than $175. On the other hand, 175 clams buys a lot of other more reasonably priced books. Personally, I didn't get a lot out of the book in terms of trading strategy. I found that...
