Here is a chartscript that buys when stochD 14 crosses overbought (80) and exits when it crosses back down.
The backtested results gave around 35% win rate but generally good gains so it was positive on the stocks I tested. I might be able to add some more parameters if I can figure out...
Hi,
I'm about to buy some futures tick data - currencies, stock indexes, commodities....
Before I pay retail has anyone on the forum got such data that they wish to sell or swap.
I need it going back several years.
I read the transcript; very informative. Thanks Don and Andre!
One question: could you explain NYOB, how to use it, and what stocks it it is most useful for..
Is that not good? Or is this coincidence: CHICAGO, February 3, 2004 â The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) announced today that effective February 1, 2004, the exchange will reduce exchange transaction fees for all customers electronically trading CBOT U.S. Treasury futures and options on futures...
Hmmm. Sometimes I want to buy 3000 or 4000 shares But I don't aways put them out in one bundle for all to see - nor do I leave them at one price. I move them about. And that is with this piddling amount.
If I was looking to buy/sell the quantities you are talking about I would be irked if the...
I saw that, very eye-opening.
For me if someone uses their real names like Mark of VF and Don Bright and consistently shows how they trade along with a few statements I am pretty convinced - as my initial post on this thread shows. Threei also got a letter from his broker: showing his gains...
Scientist ,
good luck on the London move. I really hope it works.
To go back to this thread and the post you cited. he seems sincere and I have no reason to doubt what he says; conversely before I believe it I would like some documentation.
Last year I was on the Matrix emini chatroom and...
Gary, great to have you here. I bought your book a while back - and found it depressing as hell. Simply because it made it rather clear just how hard it is to succeed - and at that time I wasn't prepared to pay my dues. Anyway I'm still here and have a more realistic- and still developing - view...
I guess we could find out how many successful traders there are if some of the bigger brokers who advertise on ET - such as IB - gave out their statistics.
I suspect it would be prominent in their advertising if say "50% of all our traders doubled their money this year".
The actual results...
Ha I just edited my post - but I see you qouted the first version.
I think what Gary is trying to say is not so different from what you said in your post: it takes a hell of lot of work to succeed in this business.
Scientist,
Gary Smith did make it. . As for looking for quick riches he stresses it took him years before he got on top.
I think he is just sceptical about the claims of many traders, and he has been in the business for years so might know something.
well there is Threei (vadym Graifer), Mark of velocity futures, and Don Bright - all on this forum, who seem to have documented evidence that they are indeed winning daytraders.
But I do believe that - as is often said- over 90% of all traders fail.
