LOL, I love these guys. Here's a bulletin: Many statistics are purely coincidental. Flipping a coin 1,000 times over the course of a week could yield an 80% win rate for heads. Does this mean that you should bet heads during that same week next year? Come on. If you think the migratory...

Actually, we won't see. Tomorrow's action is irrelevant to today's Super Bowl winner. If you can point to a reasoned correlation, please do. You, sir, are an ass.

That's solid!

The data problems have been extremely annoying. The problem also makes no sense as the quote window will still be showing live quotes, but the charts go dead making systems untradeable. Very lame...

The ES is liquid enough that 1 tick per side should be plenty almost all the time.

Very serious?

Looks like I'll have to miss this one as I'll be traveling, but next time!

FWIW, I've found the exact same thing to be true. I've backtested and live-traded everything under the sun, and have never found a meaningful relationship between P&V. Definitely not to say that one does not exist, however.

Saying "1:11" instead of "1:6" is a TYPO is like calling someone an "idiot" and saying it was a TYPO, i meant to type "nice guy." There's no similarity between the two whatsoever. LOL

It always cracks me up when these idiots continue to post stupid stuff like this. The only 80%+ accurate leading indicator: fade ET!

I have no thoughts positive or negative on the trade but I would reconsider the math you used to arrive at 1:11 risk/reward.

Not sure if this has been requested already, but a summary of the net results in each post would be quite useful. An extremely long string of individual results is not. I would recommend summarizing the total net results of both "Ex-Players" and "Ex-Benchers."

Simple ideas work, but a moving average crossover wouldn't be the place I'd be looking.

This is a good post. In my opinion, there is no obvious answer to your question. It could actually go either way. However, I would tell you that seeing it perform poorly on EVERY other stock is not a good sign. All stocks do not trade the same way by any stretch, so very few systems are...

This is totally serious? I find that hard to believe. Dude, seriously, there are more ways to trade than there are traders. There are 1,000,000,000 different methods to trading. Every trader will give you a different answer. What's my point? You need to stop asking and starting finding what YOUR...

Asking this question is no different from the 100 other ways you've asked ET how to make money trading. Yes there is potential in making 1-3 points daily in the ES. But seriously, expecting those who can do it consistently to share it with the masses is nightmarishly naive.

Yes, slippage is a bit worse on the Midcap.

This is without question false. It's a nice thought and a very warm fuzzy feeling for those who have found no edge, but it's simply not the case. This can be proven in any of a million ways, but I've done it many times testing various entry methods for % winners using something simple like a...

Who's Byron? lol

I actually trade most everything: YM, ES, NQ, ER2, EMD, and many commodities. But it's different than most people on ET. I don't scalp intraday 30 times per market. It's 1-3 trades per day max per market, all automated. For me, the commission and slippage of frequent intraday trading just...
