Can I have a exact date? I am using futuresource for korea stock exchange and would like to change. how much intraday data will these exchange come with.

Now..that's really food for thought this weekend:) I also took a similar approach to use different breakout models to capture different market behaviour, but I was only able to discern three categories of breakout, volatilty breakout, opening range breakout and reversal breakout. Base on...

you are just beating around bush . If you want us to praise you and kiss your ass for for your revoluationry discovery , you got to let us understand it first. or are we mortals just too stupid to comprehend this grand market theory of yours... I think the question we are most interesting...

I disagree. I keep hearing these sort of argument about psychology, the individual, the "mystical" aspect of trading. These elements of trading are so general and open to interpretation that I really don't find any value in them. By subscipting to the theroy that there is something...

after doing many monte carlo runs .. my conclusion is that anything more than 2% is gambling.. randomness and time will catch up with you sooner or later.. My tests also suggest that it's important to set a monetary goal (a large one that you can retire and live happily ever after )...

by definition...traders are parasites of society because we simply don't produced any good and services..

Nobody can make money without volatility. So the reduced volatiltiy is shaking out a lot of people who just in the market for a joyride. You need to have die-hard conviction in order to ride a trend. Once people start to doubt that the market has change( and it hasn't change since there...

hmm...200% per annum is a huge return...but the figure only has a meaning given the risk you have taken.What would be your max-drawdown or a sharpe ratio during that period? based on the margin in my account, I have made 1100% this year and my drawdown is probably in the 80-90% range, so...

That's not a question that a trader should ask himself.. The answer should be obviously from the very start.. AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE..The sky is the limit... If you need a figure or something concrete to strive for.try 20 million if you just started out... but you shouldn't be even be...

well..yeah..that's my trading "philosophy"... I have to resort to taoist yin-yeng philosophy when I realized there is no user manunal for trading and I have to figure it out myself. Lucky you, at least your microwave came with a manual.. may be you should take some time to...

I am not a good trader..acutally I really suck... but I make load of money trading.. :confused: and the crazy thing is that I start making money when I realized that the fact that I really suck!!

oops..the example doesn't make sense because I forgot to put in a few words. trader A makes 1 million in 5 years. He makes 1 million in his first year and BREAKS EVEN for the other 4 years . trader B makes 120k each year, 10k each month, 500 every day, day in day out, nobody is more...

by the way..I find that some of you still think of trading as your ordinary job(100k per year). I think this sort of mentality is what's limiting most people's results and their motivation to trade. trader A makes 1 million in 5 years. He makes 1 million in his first year and for the other...

You know.. saying it's impossible really doesn't help your trading.. I am inclined to show you my results.. but that doesn't help your trading either..

I think the ultimate question everyone is asking is " So what this academic nonsense got to do with how I should trade? " IMHO, the implications for discretionary trading is obvious, , new discretionary trader are against tremedous odds because of they need to overcome their heuristics...

http://www.nobel.se/economics/laureates/2002/kahneman-lecture.html this is the best stuff I found for a intro...:) PT doesn't exactly say human beings can't trade, but I am only suggesting there MIGHT be a relationship between the 95% of people who loses money in trading and their...

ah..ic.. You must be about to win this year's nobel price in economics for your revolutionary PHD thesis.. "prospect theory is nonsense"..

Is anyone familiar with prospect theory? daniel kahneman actually won last year 's nobel price for it..I think its implication for trading is very profound, It pretty much suggest that human beingare hard-wired to lose in the market. (by making decisions that have negative expectation ) and...

thanks for the detailed reply, First, I want to say this is not a IB bashing post, on the contrary, I have nothing but praise for IB, I have recommend them to many friends and relatives, these guys are the at the top of their game, I am not even implying IB is at fault for my terrible...

def...I am trading HSI with IB stop orders, but have experience some very very bad fills( like 30 point slippage) with these stop orders..of course, the bad fills were all under "fast market" conditions, but when I check time and sales..it seems that once my stop is hit...
