    Looking for a successful trader

    Anaconda, I actually haven't done a single optimization in over 6 months. I've moved from using IB's crappy data to using DTN's IQFeed (to improve my performance). I've also done a ton of work on slippage approximation by analyzing recent T&S data so that I can adjust my positions for...

    Looking for a successful trader

    Yes. I am willing to share ALL of my statements if someone is willing to help me with a 2nd system. I have zero problem doing that. Jason

    Looking for a successful trader

    Wow. Thanks for the compliment. My results are not embellished (even in the slightest). But, damn, I'm seriously amazed that you even thought that they were. Like I said before, if someone is seriously willing to help me out with a 2nd system, then I'm willing to furnish statements and...

    Looking for a successful trader

    No. I had about $30K in the beginning of 2008. As my confidence grew, I added money up through the beginning of 2009. My initial stake has now grown from $30K to $133K. Jason

    Looking for a successful trader

    OK. I did not realize that there were prop firms out there that specialize in doing this. I guess what I'm trying to understand if there are true edges out there that people are actually willing to sell. I'm not asking for someone to give away their edge. I'm willing to pay for it in...

    Looking for a successful trader

    I bring a couple things to the table.... #1) I know what it takes (psychologically) to be profitable. So, I do make a good student. I'm someone that will not bail. So, if (and I'm not sure if this is even possible) I can make someone else money trading their strategy on a different...

    Looking for a successful trader

    Hey Art, Once again, I love your style. My system certainly has it's downsides in that it's not scalable. In fact, I'm already hitting scalability limits. I'm not sure what account size I need to hit before my percentage returns diminish to the point where it no longer makes sense to...

    Looking for a successful trader

    Here's my situation. I am a profitable trader. I've been at this for more than 10 years, but have only been consistently profitable since 2008. I'm also a professional software engineer and as such, I managed to fully automate my entire strategy. I'm currently trading with about $230K and in...

    Jack Hershey's Methodologies (SCT & PVT)-Good Bad or Ugly

    Hey Art, No apology needed. I understand. I probably won't continue my snipe hunt any longer. I've done my due-diligence and am satisfied with what I've found. You know, in all honesty, I do think Jack does believe in what he teaches (a little too much). The funny thing is that I also...

    Jack Hershey's Methodologies (SCT & PVT)-Good Bad or Ugly

    On a more serious note about system trading. I have found that second guessing myself (in realtime) actually hurts my expectancy. So, I just let my software do it's thing. Although, I must admit, it's sometimes very, very difficult not to intervene. Jason

    Hey Art, Thanks for the compliment. As far as you saying that I don't know Jack's name..... John T. Hershey (to be exact). Give me more credit than that please...... Jason

    Jack Hershey's Methodologies (SCT & PVT)-Good Bad or Ugly

    Arthur, I do trade every single day. I am a profitable automated trader as I also work full time as a software engineer. Now, as far as Jack is concerned, I am not (and have not said) that he is a terrible person. Megalomaniac---yes. Liar---yes. Schizophrenic-yes. BS Artist--(I...

    Jack Hershey's Methodologies (SCT & PVT)-Good Bad or Ugly

    Hey New2thegame, Welcome to the correct side of the fence. Glad to see you have joined the ranks of "the intelligent and rational". Rest assured, your conclusions are correct. I've done a ton of investigation on Jack and needless to say, he is not who he says he is. Quite sad actually...

    Jack Hershey's Methodologies (SCT & PVT)-Good Bad or Ugly

    I agree. It has become quite worthless. Except (that is for me). I've (at least) been able to determine that our buddy Jack is completely full of poop (by way of his "tells" and other "not mentioned" investigative evidence). What bothers me the most (however) is his blatant deceit...

    For those interested, here is the real money this system has made using a volume based momentum entry technique that I've developed. Not the best on the planet, but I'm pretty damned proud of it. Jason
