First, I would like to say that I have no clue at all what R. Seykota uses. I would think that he developed his own indicator or series of indicators long ago. Looking at the state of the art at least one of them has to use volatility, maybe with a little volume, open interest and consensus...

Six-weeks :)

Funky I believe we are referring to risk per dollar of profit. If you run a $300.00 stop 3 times a day to earn a thousand you risked $900.00 to make that thousand. Do you think it is the same risk if you run a $300.00 stop hold the trade for three weeks and make a thousand? Tharp gets...

When you place simultaneous market orders, it has the same effect as entering a spread without telling the floor what you are doing.

Leeward O'ahu? We are on the North Shore.

There are a lot of students milling around. Traffic is blocked in all directions. No one seems worried.

Defrag, Tune-up, Update and Protect! When is the last time you deleted files, defragged and tuned up, updated and protected your computer. Defragging! Creating and deleting files leaves unused disk space on your hard drive. Normally, when you save a file, there is not enough free space...

Didn’t he write SpiderMan?

Because we were asked to surpress free speech in one man’s view of Back to Basics. I have had to post this somewhere else. How much do you “Risk,” when you drive your BMW in front of a Semi.

Rocks got it in a nutshell. Warren does not pay out dividends. I mean like who in the world can reinvest it better than him? Many of what you refer to as “poorest people,” have pensions valued in stocks. Almost everybody is in stocks one way or another.

I expected to be able to go anywhere I wanted, with whoever I wanted, whenever I felt like it and still earn a steadily increasing income.

There is proof. It is just that many students have not been trained in long-term trading. An early reference from about 75 years ago is Livermore’s “Reminiscences!”

What you are saying is that before we go out and risk $2,000.00 to learn the game. We should go out and get a job and save up one hundred thousand dollars? Agreed no dispute, its just that 2% is not a reasonable amount. It sounds like something you tell kids in kindergarten. Is there anyone...

With spreads close only charts are all we have. Joe Ross’s “Spreads & Seasonals,” teaches how to use line charts to trade spreads. If you’ll look around you will see some of the charts we use posted in this Forum.So yah OK line charts are good enough..

Bill this is really a key thing that many of these beginning traders do not realize. The big money is made long term. Traders not only have to lose they bias toward the long side but also there uninformed bias toward short term trading.Often with seasonal spreads we are in for three months...

If someone is just starting out how are they going to make any money on 2% of nothing? What do you think, everybody inherits the funds we trade with? Maybe someday you will meet some traders that made there capital in the markets and you will see how ridiculous what you say sounds.

Seasonal Spreads reflect underlying fundamental forces that have a high repetitively because they are based on climate. No! Good point Markus. That reminds me I think I will go to the beach.

When you trade seasonals you are at the liberty of the seasons. We do not always have overlapping seasons. When I can, I diversify, Grains, Meats, Energy and Eurodollars spreads.

J-Law that is one of the reasons many of us use Moore’s WSC! Weekly Spread Commentary. We get about two long-term spreads a week. I guess by know by now that we always put the long contracts first. So we are always bullish chart wise. When we are bearish we switch the contracts around. So...

WSC! has one of those now Long September 30-yr T-Bonds/Short September 5-yr T-Notes. It appears even your statistical spreads pick up repetive seasonal patterns.
