THIS is why I have been frustrated. Seems only those daytrading the Futures could play this market the last few weeks. Since I swing trade I have been conservative but still lost ~2.5%. Now I go long and of course the reversal I have been concerned about seems to be taking place. Anyway...

Interesting concept. But wouldn't you have to define what RoR is for the trader in question? For me 25% may be ruin and for others it may be 50%. How does this equation take that into account?

If this is true,...then why in the world would you make a post like the following earlier today? Seems like you have contradicted yourself in less than 8 hrs.

I checked this out just now. VERY NICE. I may have to give this a go. The one I posted is not that powerful,..but at least its free.

What you guys are describing is a method to download data MANUALLY everyday...which is easy but time consuming. The add-in I provided above does this automatically. Excel will go to MSN.com and automatically download the info when you open the Excel file with this add-in. NO cutting or...

Here.

It CAN be done... just not with yahoo. I use MSN data as an add-in for excel. It is a file named "msnsq.exe". Do a Google search for it. I know that MS no longer supports it and so it is hard to find. I can not post the file here because it is an .exe file as the add in. I will see if I...

Thanks,...I know this and as we all know it is easier said than done. I do definitely have a positive expectancy system. The problem is that I have been killing this market until last month. Then when I get a string of intermittent losers and my worst month in a LONG time I start to doubt my...

I'm going to stick with my system,...did not like that I allowed myself to get spooked this morning. Got back in AET @ $40.13. Stop @ $39.24.

Thanks. But I have been disciplined until today. I exited the AET because I got spooked a bit I must admit. Looking back now I may reenter as it has not given a sell signal. So other than that I have been disciplined. I will take a step back and reevaluate again....need to ccol off as I am...

Sorry it was a typo. Long @ $39.89. Was up and then now down. Not looking strong at all anymore. So I closed it out. I cant catch a break here lately. I closed this position out early at $39.63. I have been waiting for the market to rotate down as we have been at what I would call...

EUO filled yesterday and stop at $17.89 but took 0.44% capital at risk only because of tight stop did not want to utilize all my capital on this trade. VMED BUY to COVER stop at B/E at $24.46. Still profitable....So Far... New trade LONG AET @ $23.89 with stop at $23.24 (1% at risk on...

VMED stop at $24.97 EUO long @ Stop Limit $18.21. Stop loss @ $17.89. SKF long @ Stop Limit $63.56. Stop loss @ $60.56.

THIS... GOOD solid advice!

sold SLV @ $33.09 for a .12 loss per share. Feels like slowly dying by 1000 paper cuts these last few weeks. At least no big losses and staying relatively flat in my acct (down ~1.1%) over last 3 weeks. On top of that the VMED trade (which so far is profitable) my broker only had limited...

SLV stop moved to $32.44. VMED Short stop limit @ $24.46. Target = $17 and Buy to Cover stop @ $25.13

Stopped out of TMO short. Wild swings this morning. 1.5% swings from high to low so far and only 55 min in trading session. I did buy long position in SLV @ $33.21 with stop at $32.31.

So I made the above post after a long day and falling asleep after dinner. I awoke at 2AM to eval the market. As the futures were down ~1.3% I felt my trades were solid decisions. I go to sleep again and awake to find futures UP 0.5%. I dont know what the hell is going on. I have never...

I believe tomorrow will be a decisive day ,...FINALLY. This market has been VERY hard to trade lately. I have been largely in cash but still able to squeeze out ~1.0% gain in the last 2 weeks as the market struggles for direction. So for the last 2-3 weeks I am down about 0.8% or so. I...

TMO Buy to Cover stop @ $50.37.
