Well, I don't know exactly what you want from me, I'm trying not to take myself too seriously as this seems to be a light-hearted look at what doesn't work for you. I agree, you shouldn't sacrifice at the alter of the Goddess of Losses to enrich the parasites feeding off your energy. Maybe you...

What I was refering to was my characterization of hypostomus' current portfolio of systems. If he has a system that captures one aspect of market behavior profitably, my suggestion would be to look for similar systems. By increasing his portfolio of systems he has more opportunity for turning...

I've given it some time; may I suggest you start hunting for frogs? With enough of them you could undoubtedly grease the wheels of success.

Grabbing any short-term time frame is just like grabbing a live wire...it is hotter than Hades if you aren't prepared to handle it properly. Automating anything tradable should embrace the concepts of simplicity and repeatability. It reads like you have a system that is presently working...

I can see you haven't been around here long. Once I was just as gullible and naive as you. Then, I opened my eyes. This forum is populated by the greatest bunch of ne'er-do-wells, confidence men, footpads, outright liars, sporting men, sporting ladies, and swindlers, embezzlers, rakes, and...

I once said not to expect too much of Jack. Now, I see, I shouldn't expect too much of Hypostomus, either. Did you even phone your broker to place these orders? Or were you just Jackin'?

I think Vic Niederhoffer does.

Good for you Don, glad you're not throwing it around.

What more can I say? What determined your decision to use an 8 period moving average?

I thought that link might help but after looking at it decided it wouldn't, you might do a search for "accredited investor."

Maybe, I'd better address that question to Quah, as it seems he had the original question. When he loses a point before he makes the point he then has to make two points in order to recoup his lost point and gain the original 10%, but now he will have to gain over 22%. In the space of a minute...

Thanks for posting that. Please Note: Many days Indexes, Sectors, and stocks do not touch any of these levels but when they do they often either consolidate or bounce off of them. Thanks again.

Sweet. So, are you gonna let the trader burn the entire $25,000 for the chance to make $5,000?

I've learned something from this, that grid is an interesting idea and should be an aid to anyone trying to get a grasp on the way different sectors affect the S & P or Nasdaq.

There are several measures of return: return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), return on investment (ROI), and return on sales(ROS). So, take your pick. The Internal Rate of Return is the rate of profit from assets. In this case maybe this is what Quah is actually trying to calculate.

Thanks.

I upgraded last night, also, and just logged in successfully.

Isn't return based on the amount at risk?

Quotetracker now offers Percent B as an indicator which positions the endpoint of an oscillator in a range between 0 and 100 indicating where price is in relation to the Bollinger Bands. You can adjust lookback and standard deviations to get the fit you want.

Don't know that the GH is right for me, although you'd think from the e-mails it's the greatest thing since Viagra. I've heard test is only available by prescription? Therefore, I won't use it. Remember doing some reading about it. I'll have to say I'm not looking to build mass or great...
