If you take two random variables that are correlated and create any composition out them the resulting variable will be still as random but with (possibly) lower or higher frequency of oscillation and lower or higher standard deviation. Pair trading is an illusion. Take any stock, future, etc...

We used an intraday data that we have bought from NASD and NYSE (24 DVDs, cost = $23,000 appr.) The data has been crunched on two IBM servers for about 5 months. The data that has been analyzed was related to stocks only. I hope I answered your question.

No, our floors are cleaned by the radio controlled robots but we are looking for a good trader or two. Options primarily with the license (24, 7 etc.).

Gees, what is this world coming to. When I was 18 all I could think of is how to get laid!

I will send my hologram to Las Vegas not later than 2200 and will have it equipped with extra RAM. I just don't know whether the pair trading is simply another name for a swingers club or its just a funky shoos exchange group.

Please come! I'll be happy to show off my evil empire! :D P.S. I'll put vodka on ice the day before your visit.

You are a good man! You always make me laugh! You'll be amazed when I post a picture of our new system that we have almost finished! 134 monitors on 4 walls, rotating control table, virtual reality goggles and more! Is this evil enough? :D :D

1. What parameters do you use to classify a whipsaw day? I don't use any parameters. I assume that every day will be choppy, whipsaw day. If I'm proven wrong then I take a loss. 2. How do you differentiate between a reversal and a retracement? The way I see it, a reversal on a shorter time...

It is true. We used to have a system that would send a buy or short order for a small amount of shares and we would measure the time that it would take to get filled. Then we would send a lot bigger order to the side that would have the worst fill. It worked pretty good!

Yes, I like a good pussy! :cool:

Look, please don't get offended by my post but if I asked you to suggest me a book on how to become a doctor (lawyer, mechanic, pilot etc) what would you say? You can not learn trading (especially day trading) just by reading a book. If anybody else suggests that you can or points you to some...

Nice. What are you using for tools? Any proprietary stuff?

Yep, that is me... enjoying a trendless day! In the past 10 years 72% of trading days were whipsaw days. 82% of the days had a meaningful reversal (retracement) during regular market hours, 94% of days had at least one opportunity to break even on the reversals. And ... only 6% of trading days...

How long have you been trading from home? What securities are you trading?

OUTSTANDING!!!! You have just become my favorite poster! Keep it up, my friend! Is this your first alias or you had one before? Anyway, you have made my day! :D :D

SHORT GOOG!

We have just upgraded this profile. We now accept plumbers too. :D

I like dull markets. I like strangles. I like to sit and watch people get whipsawed. I like to play counter trend. I like my elastic band indicator on the days like this. And ... I like Fridays! Cheers.
