Possible FDAX system based on the 5 point (10 ticks) grid 1) stop in at 10 points + 1 tick This means that the FDAX needs to pass 2 grid units (a 5 points)before I enter. In total min. 12 ticks (2*5+1+1) or max. 16 ticks (2*5+1+5) are needed to trigger the trade. 2) set trailing stop 10...

Potential FDAX system based on 2.5 point grid: 1) go with each wave at 3 grid units (7.5 points + 1 tick) using stop orders 2) set stops at -3 grid units (7.5 points + 1 tick) trail stop on grid 3) take profit at 6 grid units (15 points) to make a profit of 3 grid units (7.5 points - 1...

I dont want to be too happy. Im 46% below my all time high. I nearly trashed my account. No manager would accept my trading stile with the horrible DDs. But all in all Im making 2.5% each and every day since 82 days. Like or dont like it!

05/04/07 +30.8% I spend all the time of the day for making this profit. Really hard work... My bet was that the Dow will stay below +25 and above -25. I closed positions early to avoid a huge loss. Yes, I was risk averse, but 50:50 chance means that you are out of any position. No...

asap I think 60 minutes are a good timeframe! I am very interested in VDAX and VIX and I am playing around with some spreadsheets. I my experience the second and third derviative have negative correlation on a daily base at least for the INDU. I didn't perform the data for the DAX...

Expecting sideways market today. Range +- 25 points change to yesterday's Dow close.

Systems are not static. They have to be adapted to changing market conditions an need to be regularly updated time to time. All forced (external) chances make traders (even with high tech equipment and recently great signals) to loose money or reduce their chances to perform best. To get...

05/03/07 +10.8% Trying to reduce risk.

ES is still up. Also the overnight level keeps high levels. In attached graphics I used a 0.5 point grid to check for waves. The waves have to be of a minimum length of 1.0 points (plus traded trough). That is that I can make sure that all ticks are traded (border ticks of a wave might not...

YM yesterday. I used a 5 point grid. I calculate a wave starting with a length of 10. I have added some signals (hindsight).

murray Trends are still up. I dont look at volume these days, because I found no relationship between trend and volume. Do you have backtesting statistics to prove some relationship? Thanks!

EN system 05/03 (looking back) 1) enter in direction of wave > 2 points 2) trail stop 2 points plus one tick (at grid) 3) take profits at 6 points 4) after takting profits reverse and hunt for another 2 points (trailing) Always use stops to protect your money. Always use money...

04/24/07 $-83.35 04/27/07 -71.75 05/02/07 -44.62 Thats a decay of 37.5% compared to 04/27. Margin required at my broker is about $400. For $-4,464 I would need a $40,000 margin and if taking factor 2 I would need a $80,000 bankroll. Vix at 13.08 VIXK07 at 13.16...
