I think seperating yourself from trading is impossible, your ego(emotions) are your greatest weapon. You may be able to block your ego out for a period of time, but he will come back in the form of a huge catostrophic loss. I think it is better to know what taking losses feels like, learn to...

Just looked at your chart, I hope you meant you were getting short @ 270, or do you step in front of frieght trains on the weekend?

If you ever reach a point in trading where is is "lose and you die," I would be willing to take the other side of every one of your orders. The emotion that you are most unwilling to face is the one that you will inenvitably experience, in this case the death of your trading career. Send me a PM...

I think you should get out earlier:)

I believe all the liquidity is on the tokyo stock exchange, could be a better place to trade it.

They are going up to 123.69. Feel free to ask any more questions, I always have an answer.:cool: I think you should ask yourself the following question: "what is stopping me from buying bunds?"

Another genius from Bright, did you read the beginning of the post and look at the graph posted?

Nope, Tuesday was great and wednesday is looking pretty good too.

If you are long a product in one account and short in another you have essentially closed your position. Any move in the market cannot produce a profit, maybe I missed something, but this doesn't make any sense. 5yr:confused:

First of all its lose not loose. Managed futures is a highly volatile strategy, but in the end they provide the best returns. My guess is that the index will be positive at the end of the month, it had a big day today, and be near the top of the indexes at the end of the year. If you don't like...

If your a stock broker you probably have one up on of the people that are here giving you advice. If you plan to make millions you probably will have to risk more than $5,000. I suggest you trade futures contracts instead of stocks, you will find you can have a bigger upside. Try the 30 yr bond...

Because their systems don't work.

I have heard that this system has worked well in the past. People even used to actually trade and I have heard that some of them actually made a little bit of money. It could just be a nasty rumor. http://www.originalturtles.org/system.htm 5yr

it made decent profits over a 5 yr period max Drawdown was under 30% and sharpe ratio was about 1.5. Better than 90% of traders out there

What was wrong with the results? It was a simple system to show that trendfollowing works, which I beilieve it did. And I bet it beat your performance over that same time period. It sucks to lose to something that simple doesn't it Hank. 5yr

Thank you spike. I don't know why I bother convincing people of the correct way to trade. :D :D :D

Yes but this #1 fund has lost every single penny of investor money not too many years ago. A strategy that has any chance of a 100% drawdown is not a viable strategy, it is just a matter of time before it happens again. WHy invest in something like this. Whereas the trendfollowers have track...

Ok thats why Seykota, Henry, Eckhardt, Dunn and countless others run billions of dollars of investor money using trendfollowing models. I have yet to see a scapler running any sort of fund. But I am sure that you can give me a reason why. Maybe you are going to buy the Red Sox from your...

So you agree that using a trendfollowing system would give the trader the "edge" he needs to be profitable?
