cnms> How would you suggest I go about doing that? This sounds like an interesting idea. pepper_john> Heh...I know after GT and TKR went belly up (losing 22% each) after earnings. Both were in the Rank 1-10 stocks as well. However, the way I see it sometimes you will hit home runs and...

No at this moment I do not set any stops. However, cat stops approximately 25% away from price doesnt seem to have any harmful affect on the performance of the system.

Welcome. Yes equal dollar amounts for every pick.

Ended week with a positive tone. Account return: +0.16%. Heres to hoping for a good week!

Thanks. No typically you do not see such a large difference between the results. But as a rule of thumb Rank 1-10 will outperform Ranks 1-20 (49% annualized vs 41%). Rank 1-10 for the month of March: PBR URI TLAB AH CMCO AOS AP OATS IM FTO

Not a mathematical idiot. Just "waking up" challenged ;). I understand the math. Just groggy. But no I doubt pips because of the way he makes it as if its a rather simple stroll in the park to turn a <5000 dollar account into a 100MM one (in about 24 months as he says it). You see I am...

Hahaha. Wow no more posting after getting up for me. I thought Bit was saying that a thousandth was 0.1 :o.

A 1000 billion=1 trillion. 1/1000=0.001% which is indeed a thousandth. 0.1% is a tenth. Pipsgalore> You see there is a difference between being negative and being realistic. I will wait until you have parlayed a <5000 account into 100MM in 24 months.

I know its possible to make 100million. What I find ridiculous is pipgalore's absolutely retarded comment. What he's basically implying is that start with a <5000 account and make it 100 MM in 24 months. To top it off he seems to feel that liquidity in FX somehow also implies that its easier to...

I like to dabble in FX but, sadly, I really do agree with you. For some reason FX simply doesnt seem to attract intelligent crowds. At a very popular FX site there are several threads on astrology and FX market timing. I mean come on, I though we got out of the Middle Ages a few centuries back...

Such a big post; such a big, disgusting mixture of stupidity, foolishness, and bull.

I have no clue where my friend may have gotten the data from. As for the model, all positions were closed off at 2.30PM EST. The results for the month of February: Rank 1-10: +3.1% Rank 1-20: -2.12% S&P 500: +0.33% NASDAQ: -0.86% DOW: +1.49% So Rank 1-10 easily beating the...

Very nice results MC. Is that on a live account? If so, congrats on the winnings!

Excel and Access. Database in access. A VB program is run which spits out results on excel. I got the data from a friend of mine. However, earlier in this discussion a firm called Baseline (now part of Thompson) provides fundamental data so you may want to check that out.

Going to close off all positions tomorrow at 3PM. As of now the model has gained (after realistic slippage/fills/commissions) +2.73% in February. Barring any disasters, it should post a market beating return for February.

Account returns: 0.00% Dead breakeven. I found an order management error on the GBPJPY model which could affect results negatively. So I am taking the GBPJPY models out of the market for now. So I have the two models trading EURUSD now. Hopefully it will start getting back on track to hit the...

We don't trade for fun. We trade to win. -Larry Hite

None of the above. I simply can't post the signals as they are taken care of automatically and may be placed any time. Naturally I will not be posting the criteria. The goal of this journal is simply to keep a log for myself on the results and write down any ideas or thoughts I may have on the...

Well decided to start another journal on systematic FX trading. All trades will be determined by quantitative models. The models have sizably changed since the last journal. The models are volatility based which seek to capitalize on momentum. A lot of measures have been taken to keep account...

Need I respond?:D
