"The Amazing Life of Jesse Livermore" by Smitten is a good read.

And, of course, Jesse Livermore died poor of inferior emotional balance.

If anyone wants to make an offer, be my guest. I hate living near this thing now.

Hitman: all good apartments you posted. Particularly, for a 23 year old you will be a killer if you get any of these places. God, when I was 28 I was living on the couch in somebody's 10 x 10 apartment. I guess that's why I got eager when I had the chance. In 1998 I bought a 4500 sq. ft...

A halfway (or quarter-way) decent apartment in NYC is $1M+. I take that back: $1.5M+. If anyone wants to buy my apartment now its yours for $3.3M. But I live a few blocks from the WTC...

topguntrader, I know exactly how you feel in terms of what your boss is doing. That is the second worst feeling in the world. The worst being, of course, quitting the job and then losing 50% of that 100K you've saved up while you are on the learning curve. There's no real answer. Figure out...

Thanks for the replies. I'm in the middle of my research on this but I'm leaning towards giving it a try. Thanks again. -James

I've been thinking of trying IB out. I'm particularly interested in access to the currency markets and foreign exchange markets. My primary concern is: do I have to be nervous about IB going out of business? If they do it will of course be a hassle extracting money out of my account there...

In the interest of getting this thread back to the original topic I will post the basics of my favorite system. if you go to wealth-lab.com you'll see that several of the developers there are focusing on band-style systems. The basic idea: a. Take the 10 day MA of a security. b. Draw...

I typically buy the QQQs when they are low. The lower the better. Then, I sell them when they are much higher.

It seems like both approaches are correct. Stockbroker: clearly if Bill Gates is caught with a prostitute and MSFT starts to tank then you are probably correct that using discretion to get out will result is lower losses. However, before statistics was invented, the following question...

some quotes from fund managers. I gathered these up from the highest asset guys on iasg.pertrac2000.com. Note that this site is not just for system traded funds but for all funds. It just so happens that the most successful guys are system guys. All of these funds started at essentially 0...

go to iasg.pertrac2000.com. its a list of hundreds of CTAs/hedgefunds. Sort by Assets managed. Crabel Capital Management has gone from $300K to $1B in the past 8 years. He is entirely mechanical. He is quoted as saying that he only really had bad years (1992) when he was discretionary. If you go...

Speaking of Friday, anyone have any opinions on why that would be the best day of the week this week?

On the subject of trading systems and software (the original topic) I second ttcrep's suggestion of www.wealth-lab.com Its unbelievable to me that this is not the hugest thing in trading right now. I used Tradestation, MetaStock, Neuroshell, etc. and nothing comes close to this platform...

Toby Crabel, who manages $1B, never had a down year, and his worst month in 8 years (last month) he was down 2% and some change, is 100% systematic. A quote from "The Day Trader's Advantage" by Howard Abell Crabel: I know one thing for me is that, in order for me to make money, the...
