I agree completely. Easier on the emotions, without question.

Your point is a good one, but it should also be understood that the smaller daily dollar range means commissions will take a bigger toll on a percentage basis. Beginning traders should remember this point as well. In addition, while these markets move similarly on a macro level, they move quite...

Nope, that's right.

I have nothing to prove to you, nor am I on these boards for self-promotion. I was simply stating that your advice was completely incorrect.

I didn't say it couldn't be done. I also didn't say I haven't figured it out yet.

I would encourage people to totally disregard this statement as it is completely fallacious. I'm not going to get into a long-winded discussion about system statistics as it's been done too many times on these forums, but suffice it to say one could be missing out on many extremely profitable...

Wow, how classic is the 1:50AM drunk rant? So obvious with the timestamp and the pathetic typing skills. Also, how great is the reference to him being "civil" (civill), "courteous" (couteus), and a "gentleman." Not quite. LOL Nathan, LOL.

Wow I love the PMs. Nathan, you sound like a very level-headed guy. I might hire you to come trade, especially if you bring a time machine with you so your after-the-fact calls can make us some money. Well-done buddy! I would've shorted 5000 ES contracts, too, lol...

I hope/think you're not serious but if you are you should consider giving up trading.

Due to differences in brokers, liquidity, and the size of the event, you will find it very difficult to get an accurate answer to this question. For most events, you can expect it to be reasonable like less than 20 pips. For 9/11-type events, who knows. I don't think anyone can say with any...

I was in a train station in Venice during a trek through Europe this year and saw their rate on EUR/USD exchance was 1.29/1.51! 2200 pips! The banks are better of course, but that gives you an idea how hardcore these people are with the exchanges...

There's never an excuse for taking on losses of this size, especially when managing a fund this large. It boils down to risk control, or lack thereof, and its unacceptable. The fat cats will still get paid, and the investors, as always, lose their shirts. Buyer should always beware.

Exactly right!

Here's the rest! //*** Short Position *** else begin // short market position if Market_Position[1] <> -1 or // eval market position on prior bar New_Entry then begin Profit_Switch = False ; // reset profit switch Trade_Low = Low ; // reset trade...

This code includes the Parabolic and YoYo exits as well. I'd take it out, but don't have time right now, so you'll have to do that part...Hope that helps! I'm splitting it into 2 posts due to ET character restriction...

Works well for simple trading. I can't speak to ultra-high frequency trading, but we use it for trading hourly and longer bars and it is quite reliable.

He didn't ask what kind of laptop anyone thought he should get. And ordering in the summer doesn't mean it should take 6 weeks. Order at Thanksgiving, that'll solve it! Wow...

I live in Houston and know personally more than a dozen people who "knew everything about the oil industry," worked for Enron, and lost every dime of their multi-million dollar wealth when that company went down. They went from living like kings to starting from scratch. And these weren't the...

Loser post.
