yes - it tests out for the last 6 years of intra-day data that i have. but i really don't want a discussion about my system(s) - which i trade by the way - they are not just theoretical models. i want to develop some new ideas. are you a systems trader?

not sure posting the results of my system adds much value but here goes (see attached). as I said above, I have no intention to swap systems already developed with 40yo or anyone else interested other than general thoughts which may be useful for the next project. I am looking for...

One more try to get your attention in case it slipped thru the net over Thx Giving - if not, I'll leave you be Good trading

40yo - wanted to get in touch with you but I know you've turned your PMs off - fair enough. But if you'd care to get in touch with me I'll leave you an email address in this post or feel free to PM me. The reason I want to get in touch is that it sounds like you are approaching trading from...

i think it all depends on your trading style. if you trade besed on momentum then seems v logical that a trade goes in the right direction immediately - you are entering on the side of momentum. if it turns around then it is a good indicator that momentum is weakening / changing which is...

Fact is that no matter what the success rate is at Bright, you have no point of comparison anyway. If Don told you 3/100 people now make 100k pa, how would you know whether that was better or worse than average? Yes, a Bright "education" will not guarantee success. But there is no trading...

Always find it weird that people recommend equities vs futures. It's true that futures give you more leverage, but no-one forces you to use it. A newbie trading a 1-lot is unlikely to blow-up due to excessive leverage. Of course, if we are saying that newbies are likely to use the leverage...

not sure on all time low but traded to a low of 4.6585 in 1978

you need to realise that many people (me included) pay large sums of money to acquire good historic intra-day data. there is little incentive to then make that free to everyone else.....

think i'm somewhere between the 2 views on this one. fredbloggs is right that prop trading in an arcade is totally different to anything the banks do trading. that's why an arcade trader is never going to be offered a top / senior job at a bank - they have no experience doing the job...

Not intending disrespect here as I was also once a very keen newb hungry for knowledge but..... This same question is asked nearly every day by some new guy. The answer is to search old posts, look at the book review section of the site, etc rather than just come and say "please give me all...
