agin, I like the fact that you like FOX. I really like Fox, it's like trying to get some hard objective facts on the Jerry Springer show. Fox is a joke. If we don't stop fooling around with foreign policy, the international community will take us as a big joke and they have started...

If I break any rules I have set forth, I hit my shin into something really hard, it hurts like a bitch, I cry and then I know that next time I won't be breaking anymore rules. It's easy. Try it, hit your knee into something also, that works well ;) OR you can ask someone to hit you as hard...

I knew it the minute he posted that the market would fade him. Hope you didn't lose your ass being so cocky mate. Calling the market is a dangerous game.

That's quite a question ;) If you are bad at math, then don't go for the Optimal F or other Kelly factors as they can be complicated in dealing with a dynamic environment but also very dangerous (they are somewhat flawed). In your case, I would go with a % (like 10%) of total equity and then...

ok, so u use two systems, and u do trade like a robot ;) Case closed. It's feasible, just not very likely, but hey if you can do it, that's great.

This is my rational for why 10 points a day on large numbers of trading days can't hold up: your risk ratio is 2:1, let's say you have a 70% edge over the market (which is pretty damn good ;): 0.70*2 - 0.30*1 = 1.10 points, you would need to have about 9 trades per day on average to hit your...

Ditch, while it is very kind of you to share your system, you are putting beginners at risk of great loss with your system, which is what I condemn. Trading is not easy and it is not a game. While u may be doing 10 points profit a day on average (which i sincerely doubt), you are an...

how is this not a mechanical system ? If you trade from channel to channel.

This thread is empty. Entries are the least important thing in a trading system. 10 points per day. haha, 500*22 = 11K*12 = $132K per year on one contract, a return of : 7233% per year. Nice Job. Completely ridiculous.

depends what kind of cheese you're talking about...

you know what nitro? That's funny that you should post this thread again, I was just thinking about it before even logging into ET. And there it is on the front page ;) I'm psychic too! What a happy family.

Yes, I agree. Optimal F seemed way too bullish in most cases. It gets even more complicated when you are doing dynamic position sizing. Will probably stick to conventional MM.

Just finished Ralph Vince's last book (1995) on the notorious Optimal F, I don't really know what to think of it, it seems like it could really hurt more than help your capital/risk management. Would anyone like to share any ideas that they have on the book / concept?

F D'Anconia: "NEVER SETTLE!" You gotta face him ;)

you are kidding right?

Yeah, I don't think QDZ is a deep pocketed institutional trader. My post was aimed at the regular trader, not the institutional one. obviously, there are millions of techniques for deep pocket money. duh Are you trying to trick me HT? U will lose.

It's an NSX mate.

Correct Nitro. It can still happen though. That is not necessarily the reason, but i've heard complaint about TWS new version not updating the P&L correctly.

while you're at it format reboot defrag reboot run netstat reboot play a game reboot then launch TWS. duh Memory leaks i guess.
