    A daytrading story on CBS news

    I was glad to see the story - not the best account of what we do but at least some people now know that we are not all dead :) Next one will be better.... can we see to it?

    Gordon, Thanks for the reference. Yes, I am familiar with some of the arguments against this MM method, but, in my experience, I have found many more arguments and evaluations FOR it. Plus, Ryan's math makes perfect sense to me. Not to mention that I have used this same, or very similar...

    I've found the fixed ratio algorithm that Ryan Jones pioneered to make the most sense and be the best for me - superior to the more traditional fixed fractional approach.

    JPB, KwikPop is not a black box - just a set of tools, a way of packaging indicators to facilitate (otherwise discretionary) trading. I agree their website is simple, but it does contain a lot of information, they offer a live demo for 2-4 weeks, and they have 00s of users. It's not easy...

    Scalping e-minis

    I've asked this in another part of this forum, but, in an effort to catch the attention of a larger cross section of members, let me repeat my request: Does anyone here have any experience with KwikPOP? Or any idea where I can get some information, directly from a (past or present) user? I...

    JPB, Any feedback about KwikPOP? Can you be a bit more explicit? Thanks.

    rtstrading, I am familiar with both of their websites, but I was wondering if you had any direct experience with it or other information that you trust (e.g., a friend's experience) that you couldshare with me, in public or in private.

    I'd buy pop tarts because of their taste; I'd buy trading systems to help my trading. It's a matter of personal preference :)

    Does anyone have any experience with this trading product? Or any idea where I can get some information, directly from a (past or present) user? I would appreciate any input. TIA. :)

    the trend is up, market has bottomed.

    You know, hitting bottom in this market is similar to the way some people quit smoking: they do it every day :)

    The infamous "Blackbox" Theory

    So, Aphie, is this thread closed? Or moved to the Strategy forum? We need decisive action, now! :)

    The infamous "Blackbox" Theory

    I believe that there are proprietary systems that accomplish this and are not for sale. I also know that several systems developers (e.g., the OmniTrader team) have been working on this type of project for several years, with the objective to make their final product available to the trading...

    The infamous "Blackbox" Theory

    I agree too - this seems to be very true, unfortunately :mad:

    Aphie, Yes! If we just look at its day-to day trading, absolutely! The question is, how profitable can it be, how often does one have to interfere and adjust parameters, how to control risk, e.g., malfunction, etc. Again, just review the literature, e.g., Futures Truth, and see what's...

    Aphie, Actually, what I like in systems is that I can get comfortable with their parameters, strengths and weaknesses, prospects, etc and then at some point I can delegate their trading to brokers and/or computers. That takes care of two significant threats most of us share: real-time...

    As we are talking about this, the thought emerges in my head that we may need to start a different thread focusing on system development and improvement techniques. It may be very interesting and useful to many of us. But, I am not the type to organize things... :)

    Dottom, I agree with both statements. However, before someone throws in the towel when confronted with #1 above, I would suggest they try to move the system to a different timeframe, even market, try to grow the profits without losing too much of the other good statistics. I often trade a...

    Dottom, So what? (I may be missing the point in your last statement.) Call it whatever you want, the question is, does it make money? Actually, in my experience, it is often much harder to push the profitable trades from 65% to 70% or 75% than to push the profit size from 2 pts to 2.5 or...
