vox_lucidus, I am really interested in knowing more about how the funds trade. Do you know absolutely for a fact that they do not use "technicals"? You mentioned "complicated time distribution & algorithmic parameters". What the hell are those things? They sound really complicated but their...

Thanks. Pls let me know who your broker is and what are their minimal platform fee, if any. And, why is the e-mini free for the 1st 100? what is the catch here?:confused:

Grob109, So, what is your normal (or average) target compared to your stop loss? What I mean is what is your risk/reward ratio? Please answer in simple English.:D

Traderguy, Do you trade other futures instrument? E-minis, Bonds, Bunds, Eurostoxx etc? If so, I would like to know your comm. per RT for these instruments. How many RTs you do per month to get that kind of rates? Thanks a lot.

Traderguy, How much is your per RT comm.? So, do you always try to earn the spread by entering against the short term trend through limit orders? I think that you have to be pretty accurate on your entry with a 1-10 pips stop because otherwise, you will find that price would have triggered...

Anybody knows the percentage of CFA charterholders that passed all three exams in the minimum 3 years, without failing?

Def, If I am not mistaken, the liquidity in HSI is very very poor, though the volatility is great, sometimes too great and there are many occasions of spikes through thin volume. Also, IB's commission on HSI isn't exactly cheap. Is IB considering lowering them in the future? Thank you.

This is exactly what i meant.

Its sad that people always get uneasy when some traders say they are profitable. I am not asking a question about whether my profitability is sustainable. Lets just assume that I am profitable and I am trading futures, not stocks. Will somebody with some knowledge of the inner workings of the...

Hi, I am a net profitable trader and is getting better. What I do is very simple but it does take some serious thinking and observations. I am trying to learn many things now to improve on my performance. I am trying to pick up programming to code my system ( have not started yet ) and do...

Steve46, Sorry, I am still confused. Ok, lets put it this way. If I find from eyeballing charts that a certain relationship exists and then try to design a system which is logical and consistent with my market knowledge, and then I backtest this over a period of back data, does this fall into...

Hi Steve46, I am not sure what u meant in the above thread. Basically if you cut and paste data and put it to Excel and then you determine correlation, isn't that backtesting? In fact, it sounds like curve-fitting. No? Please explain. Thanks
