    Multiple systems at the same time

    Combining Strategy A with negatively correlated Strategy B sounds like a nice way to improve results. If strategy A is the trading system Sled and Strategy B is WinkB then their combination is probably a joy to behold.

    CTA or not to CTA

    It's not supremely expensive to form a CTA so, why not give it a shot? You'll need additional NFA registrations ($500) and a D-doc ($10K-30K depending on the lawyer) and more time from your accountant ($200-700/mo) and other miscellaneous expenses. Say, $20-25K total, to get off the ground and...

    I reviewed the TF book on amazon and gave it a lukewarm (3 star) rating. My review stayed on amazon's website for less than two days and then was COMPLETELY DELETED. Not just shoved off into the "other reviews" screens, it was totally removed. Gone forever. Other people reported the same...

    Fearless trading

    Trade the stock of General Electric with real money. You won't make a bundle but (if you trade well) you won't lose a bundle either. Don't spend too much time in a Swimming Simulator, jump into the pool and start paddling around. General Electric stock is on the shallow end of the pool.

    backtesting the original turtles

    Hello Mr. Faith. I learned from this article on the Van Tharp website http://www.mastermindforum.com/phorum/read.php?f=9&i=13133&t=13133 that you have stopped giving away the Turtle Rules for free, despite the fact that the document brags and brags about how proud you are that you're not...

    'Better' markets for automated trading

    It is absolutely, undeniably true that some markets have been much more profitable for automatic trading strategies than other markets ... ... in the PAST. But the big question is, will things remain that way in the FUTURE? Will the Dax and the Bund and the CAC-40 remain at the top...

    "We all hold the keys to our own jail cells."

    Thank God trading is difficult. Thank God there are losses and disillusionments and self-doubt and worry. Thank God there are drawdowns. If trading were easy then every Tom, Dick, and Harry would be a successful trader who stuck with his program. The profits would have to be split up...

    Althucher guesses: trend funds to disappear within the next 10 years...

    There's an expression in Burton Biggs's book Hedgehogging that I think perfectly summarizes many people's attitude: Mindless Trendfollowing Biggs and others are (mindful) Value Investors; they have distilled their scorn for trend followers quite nicely into two concise words. Well done.
