It is a well kept secret that he isn't much of anything anymore...:D The pope that is. Marty Schwartz, I curious if he is still trading. His trading did not do much for his health... that much is clear if you read the book

I am a Mac user. I love my Powerbook G3, although it is a little outdated now. When I was contemplating a new computer last year I though about a Pentium and a G4 Portable. I bought a Pentium portable because I did not want all the hassle with sofware and datafeed. However, I am using IRT on...

Does anybody know if TS 7 stores or buffers data locally? Or does it have to reload all data through the internet if you switch symbols? I am asking becuase I use a list of appr. 100 stocks and during trading hours scroll through a lot of (intraday) charts.

What do you think his goal is, with an alias like 'privateIsland'? :D

No connection all morning (am in Europe)

Why don't you try IRT by Linnsoft. I believe they even have a tutorial on automated trading with Ninjatrader. Look at http://www.linnsoft.com/autotrading/index.htm Might be what you are looking for?:cool:

I like IRT (by linnsoft) am using it on Windows, but there is a mac version too) and of course Interactivebrokers software works perfectly under OS X

What is the difference between .NET and VB6? Maybe it is because of my Mac background, but I kind of like realbasic. Under Windows it has support for ActiveX controls and connecting to MySQL is easy. To me it does everything I need and its Simple & fast. But to be honest, I have...

I always like entering in the morning. Usually I wait five minutes or so and enter only if a previous day high or low is broken and keep very tight stops Nowadays I watch the market all day, but usually are done after 90 minutes. I have never been more profitable. I used to trade...

When Darvas played this method he had the good fortune of a bullmarket (I think it was in de fifties) I think Darvas was not looking at 52 week highs, but all time highs. Also he combined a sort of a fundamental approach to it. (The stock had to be in a relatively 'hot' sector.) The...

Do you just buy your whole account back in EUR or do you use a specific method to position yourself into the currency trend?

Hi, On average my account (in USD) is neutral in Euro's. I have never hedged the currency risk before, but it seems like a good idea to start doing that. Any pointers, ideas for strategies to limit the risk? If you hedge the risk, how and what rules do you use?

Nothing at all.... I just love trading. And not just the trading, also researching and trying to find new setups. I used to hate losing. Not anymore, just part of trading. :D

better to use 1 day! If I find a large range day followed by a single narrow range day (less than half of the previous day), I look for a continuation in same direction as large bar on the third day. Not backtested, just an observation... I am sure Fibonacci would agree :D

Absolutely, but its just like losing weight. You know what you need to do, its actually pretty simple, but the trick is to keep doing it...

I would be interested to know what you find. The only thing I ever tested is: would it be profitable to enter on the break of hi/lo and exit on close of day. Hitrate was pretty good (no extra filters, stop below yesterdays low) and overall expectancy was pretty positive. So I thought i might...

I have tried trading opening ranges many times, but I found a break of previous days hi/lo the best strategy. But I like to trade as early as possible. You are right, if the break is after the first 5 but before the first half hour of trading has ended, the probability of succes is very...

The markets are a lot like life itself: you can see anything you like in anything that happens. But who cares if there is insider buying? If there are enough people buying, the stock will keep going up. If there is enough people selling it will go down. Your job as a trader would be to...
