I'd also like to add that you're an inspiration YT.

Looking forward to your journal. I'm trying to focus on a strategy that will afford me some free time as well. I just can't spend all day glued in front of a screen.

Where can I find a list of the legal rules regarding running my own managed accounts service in the US? A cliffnotes version is also welcome.

I hit tipping point with discretionary trading and decided to quit for a while and study price action with the hopes of improving. I went back and checked out some historical data, and ran a backtest to see if my observations were correct. One thing led to another, and now I'm working on an...

Ok. How do I go about getting more data? The datafeed from my broker only does 3 months.

Hi, I'm a bit new to automated trading. I've been tinkering around and I built this: I have a few questions I was hoping some of you more experienced people could help me with: 1) How do I make sure I'm not just optimizing my strategy to the set of historical data? 2) How do I...

I had some early success, but I undid it all in the end. Price just didn't move that much today, even though I kept anticipating it to do so.

Dude, did you just link me to a fictional webbook? Its like a combo biography and self-help book, with anectdotes of growing life experiences and loose parallels to trading. What the crap.....

5/22 No charts today, but for the record I hit my daily SL. I'm going to put this log on hiatus for a little while so I can examine my results and figure out what works and what doesn't. The result should be a more refined (and better performing) system. So ends this leg of forward-testing...

...and I think I just missed the short of the quarter....

The 15 min charts look astonishingly clear Palatine. I will load them up tomorrow for sure. I'll have to keep the entry and anchor around as points of reference until I'm used to it though.

Hi greddy, I've used MACD in the past and not found it very useful. I threw it up on my 1k chart just to check it out and its exactly like I remembered, generating signals right before retraces; would've been a disaster.

5/21 Anchor Entry PnL Net after commissions, -10.15 No idea. Lots of chop at this level. Should've just closed NT when I looked at the anchor to prep for the morning. Looked awful but I tried it anyways. Pretty disappointed, not sure what I'm going to do to improve.

I stand corrected.

Speculators can't drive a market. Hedgers are the larger market participant by far.

He's pretty ridiculous. Its hit the point where he is trying too hard. Sounds kind of like Rush Limbaugh with his jew controlled media rants; and like a crazy old man with his 3 purchases of U.S. goods = all U.S. goods are terrible rationalization. Its really impossible to take someone who...

US is predominately a service economy. Our manufacturing has been steadily being shipped out of the country for a number of years (but everyone knows that). So I have no idea what products exactly you'd be referring to. If its the cars, Detroit is a joke, and the UAW will eventually kill the...

You're out of your mind, the two currencies aren't even close.

It really can't go any lower, so none.

What the hell are you talking about? USD is far from Zimbabwe currency. How does the US exploit cheap labor when China ends up with the surplus?!
