Obviously, there is one clear difference between Transact and IB when it comes to transparency. Transact is about as transparent about their fees and commissions as is mud... Just visit their webpage... Here is the info you get from the fee page: 'TransAct Futures is committed to always...

36 RT a month or a day? Does the same commission apply to ES, ER2, NQ? What are the combos (fees + comms) for ER2, ES, NQ? TIA...

Well, yes, but that would also imply a greater variability of stop losses. Here for the past two years you have $150 most of the time and then $300 and $425 on two different occasions. Sounds too much like curve fitting in hindsight... Well, anyway, unless someone who actually uses the system...

Let me revisit this topic. Has anyone had any experience with this software? My opinion is somewhat critical, but perhaps I am wrong. It looks to me that they post their results after optimizing them first, that is they generate them in hindsight by adjusting the system parameters, in...

It happens even to the nicest of ladies out there from time to time ...:D :D

I am not frustrated by anything... certainly not by Epiphany and certainly not now... And I don't remember saying anything about your fault either...

They are not accepting new members, so how can I subscribe? They keep putting it off every month and if this pattern persists it's easy to imagine that I will never become a member. What's so surprising about it? This has been going on for months...

Well, the point is that Epiphany is so exclusive to most people out there that it's probably safe to say that it does not exist for all practical purposes... I have asked them three times already when they start accepting new members with the same result which is easy to guess... Exceptions do...

Yeah, I knew he did. That's why I asked if anyone did some testing on it.

When are you going to integrate your software with the IB datafeed? Is this in the works? Any concrete deadlines?

We all learn as long as we live, so don't beat yourself over this too much, just incorporate appropriate changes and things should be better...

Did you do any tests of this strategy?

Well, try it. Only then you will be able to tell if YOU can make money. That's highly dependable on so many things that even if everybody here were making money you still might NOT be able to do so. I suggest trading with the trend. At least you won't lose your money as fast as when trading...

Well, I do like the system to be based on some appealing idea, but apart from that I really do not need any understanding as long as the system has been proven to work. In fact, to be honest, I might not be able to provide the 'understanding' and pretending that I can is not my cup of tea...

That's just one take on this issue and not necessarilly better than others as it invites analysis-paralysis. If you trade a mechanical system you don't need to understand anything, all you need to do is follow the rules and trust the system... There are many strategies out there that do not...

Black what? :D :D Good day for scalping though...

Backaches have been around for so long that I really don't believe that Soros was the first one to come up with this strategy. Selling when you get a headache works even better from what I have heard. Too bad that I rarely ever have either of these aches.

When you get there you will know this. It takes some time, usually more than most people would like to believe it and so no wonder that so many of them end up selling their 'methods' instead of trading them. If they got there, they would choose trading instead of peddling their 'knowledge'. As...

Could not agree more... Unfortunately, most people are either too lazy or simply too dumb to do their homework and instead they perpetuate the myth of emotional problems.

The astute trader would not pay $5K to get stuff that everybody knows about and most people lose money with.
