What type of exits are you using? How specific are they? A lot of times, the curve-fit exists on the exits more so than the entries as very few entry methods provide any edge to begin with. A good entry on ES will typically apply to other index futures contracts, but again, if the exits are...

Wow, is that what you're supposed to do? Thanks for the info! Is someone taking things a little too seriously? My average was about 250ms dipshit. Does anyone here care about that? Didn't think so. Take a pill.

Anyone who beats my time gets a cookie!

I was just making a joke, not being specific. My point was 171 points is nothing, which you've just emphasized further. Thanks!

OMG 171 points!!!! Half the average daily range!!! WOW!!!

Anyone that puts money with these dumb stubborn f*cks after what happened in the 90's needs a brainscan.

Your assumption is incorrect.

The carry trade is un-winding as it has been for the better part of a month. Not real shocking.

Regal, would I get sued if I told you to rot in hell? Just in case, I'm not going to tell you that. Instead, I will tell you that you have eclipsed all previous donkeys to become the biggest donkey in the history of ET. Congratulations!

Sure, here is the key to the mint! I'll sell it to you for $10mm, which should be a fair price considering you're going to be getting "1 point a day or more." Once you start scaling up the contracts, you'll make back your money in no time!

So you think risking 1% of the capital per 1 point ES is conservative? And you're becoming a CTA? And your name is "newtofutures?" And you can't calculate a margin-to-equity ratio? You're obviously kidding, sorry I bothered.

Geoff, Alex and Puretick: Wow! This is pathetic, even for you! Even newbies like yourselves should know the tick value of each e-mini contract! Losers!

Because you make several posts per week with your newest idea for a trading strategy. It's tedious at this point. Do me a favor and don't make me embarass you further by dredging up all your moronic posts. Also, you're the biggest donkey (or close to it) in the history of ET. Does that sum it up?

You, sir, are an idiot. Very serious!

To be honest, I have no experience with any other forex platforms. The reason for this is that, as I said, we trade fully automated using Currenex pricing but the execution does not occur on that front-end. If there is a problem, we fill using the Currenex front-end. It is not efficient for...

Just avoid market orders during the highest-level news reports (Fed and NFP) and you will be fine. The reason for high slippage during these announcements is the banks aren't quoting rates at the time of the reports. You can get filled on a market order against another customer's limit order at...

I believe the word is reality, not cynicism.

Sure buddy, I spent a few years working 80 hours/week trying to become consistently profitable. Then I spent another year automating the strategies. Now I can just give it to you on a public forum so that it becomes watered down and no longer works profitably? Sounds great! Seriously though...

Legitimate point. For that purpose, you are correct.

This is 100% false. I still don't understand why people don't get this. You open a long, and then you open a short. You are net flat no matter what you want to call it. Then you close your long by selling. Now you're net short. What's the problem? A buy is a buy is a buy is a buy. A sell is a...
