I'm trading at Refco as well. I was in the London office for a short period and the only thing I can say about the analysts: They know what they are doing, fast and accurate. Ranvir (and the other guys at the desk) are always willing to help (If you show you're willing to learn) When I...

Wise words........... You cannot control the markets, only your reaction to them.

That's why I like to increase my size rather than my quantity of trades.........

Swifttrade ? Brut book trading ? :cool:

Lawrence, Does Neoticker EOD require a hardware key ? I'm looking for software I can use on my laptop while travelling. Since I will not be trading intraday from my laptop, the EOD version will do, but it would be a pain in the *** if I had to use a dongle or something like that....

IMO this is the only correct description. Although I would like to take it one step further : Money management is NOT position sizing in a way that it sets rules for the size of an individual position, but rather sets the part of your account you can use for a particular system that creates...

Nice setup !!

Just a few Q's How do you calculate 1. Trader's Edge ? 2. Reward / Risk ? I assume 'Accumulative Winners' is the max. sum (points) of accumulative winning trades ? What are '10 longest held wins / shorted held wins'? (And why not have this for the losers ? Thanks

In this case I see these are all (except Q's) NYSE symbols. So my initial explanation about the symbol being traded on different ECN's is not valid.

Douwe, Why don't you use IB's Log files (you can switch them on /off in TWS) in combination with the 'FILL' window (You can export todays trades very easy) to analyse / record your trades AFTER your trading session? The extended log shows each modification you make during the session (so you...

There are very rare instances when this can occur. An example can be when a stock trades on different exchanges (ECN's) But usually it's indeed assumable that you have bad quotes.

Andy, On your last trade, 1. Why didn't you enter at the breakout of the 1-2-3 pattern on Jan 18/19 ? 2. On Jan 21 I see the RH (top on 01/19), but why did you enter on that specific date ? I mean, the RH is not taken out until Jan 24/25. I thought the breakout of the RH signaled a...

Andy, I know you can work with EOD data if you're trading spreads. What I don't understand is how you can work with eSignal. My guess is that you need continuous futures data for your spreads. Since esignal doesn't have other continuous data than just linked contracts, I don't see how you can...

Andy, what kind of data do you use ? (And from who ?) I assume you use continuous data for your spreads, what kind ? (backadjusted, ratioadjusted, perpetual)

See my previous post. Sorry if I wasn't clear that I was speaking for my situation (No US citizen)

I'm no US citizen.... Where I live (Europe), this is how the situation used to be : interest is taxed, but capital gains are not. At the moment a new system is in place, We only pay 1.2% taxes (regardless of the return we make) on our accounts. (Of course this is different if you're a...

Taxes.... Interest is taxable, zero coupon bonds don't pay interest, they advance(decline) in price.

Andy, since you're trading pit traded contracts, - Who do you use as broker ? - Why don't you trade the electronic contracts ? (There are a lot of spreads that can be traded electronic)

Looking forward !!!!! Why do you start next year ?
