Here is an breakout type system for indicies intraday. The system is not heavily optimized. It works best on the NQ futures. Trades well in real time and could easily be automated. The results shown below use a constant account size of $100,000 and an average risk of 1% per trade. In...

I too am interested in your group. I think eyecheck's idea may be the right place to start. Essentially have a listing of trading systems to trade or swap. Detailed descriptions and performance reports will have to be provided for each. Sites like Wealth Lab already do this sort of thing but...

I'm assuming that this is tick by tick data. If this is the case would any Tradestation user be so kind as to convert this data to ASCII format for the rest of us. I have looked for a program to do this but could not find anything. You could then post the data to traders2traders.com and be a...

While not geared exclusively towards short term trading, I enjoyed "The New Money Masters" by John Train. George Soros, Jim Rogers, Peter Lynch, and a number of other interesting characters are profiled in this book.

I live on the north side of D-Town, just a few miles from Eminem's new digs (the only landmark us suburbanites now have). There are a lot of traders here in Detroit. I will add you to my list. We were going to organize an event last year but I never followed through with it. Where abouts...

Fortuna, Looks interesting. I can't believe these bloodthirsty bastards would make so much money off of their murders. I'd like to read this paper. Can you please post the link? Thanks.

Babak, jem, and buzzy2, I respect your opinions and your criticisms have much validity. First and foremost you are correct in saying that it is difficult to create a working strategy from Sornette's work. Second it is true that the frequency of these monumental crashes, and following anti...

Dammit Babak, There you go providing other traders with useful information. : ) I have been on to Sornette for a good six months now. I've even been in contact with him a few times as I've tried replicating his methods. It has been hard to replicate his work as it is fairly technical and...

I was wondering if any Wealth Lab pros could shed some light on the system Acrary is proposing here. I have attempted to code the system just for kicks but have got very different results as those posted here. Below is my code: {Use 30 minute bars} {var Bar: integer; for Bar := 20 to...

Darkhorse. That looks awesome. Gotta go.

Nice pics ElCubano. I knew you were a big outdoorsman from some prior threads. Your signature, "Freedom .. I have much love for ya!", made me think. That's what its all about. My lifestyle as a trader as well as on the slopes is all about expressing personal freedom. I'm sure many others...

Hey guys, where's the fun on this thread? I thought I'd be cool to see pictures of people's travels and exploits but now we are mired in more political and moral bickering. Granted this type of debate has its place but can't we just have one ET thread that isn't a downer? Throw up a website...

You could say I like to ski. My brother, my cousins, my friends, and I work hard all week and drive 4.5 hours each way to ski every weekend. I feel blessed to find two great passions in life, skiing and trading. I threw up a small site with some pics from last year. You can check it at...

I saw a big flyer being posted around my brother's very liberal university a year ago about how low prices in the cocoa market were oppressing cocoa farmers in Africa. Of course this was right next to a flyer advertising a lecture by a transvestite professor on trans-gender issues so I guess I...

Despite the ear ring crack this video is actually quite informative. It illuminates many of the biases retail investors have. Lots to prey on:)

I like his ear ring. That's the bling!

What I find interesting about this thread is how people are reacting towards ElCubano's ideas about overconsumption. Why is everyone so hostile towards the idea of voluntary simplicity? Everyone seems to think that this is un-American to the core? I guess America has become synonymous with...

For more information along this vein you can consult: http://www.adbusters.org/home/ I saw a great poster in Toronto. It was an ad for the Financial Times which was essentially a big picture of Alan Greenspan. On his forehead someone had stuck a huge sticker that read "Continuous Growth...
