I trade this kind of trend following strategy on one of my accounts using the SPY. Should work the same with BGU. But I don't know if the leverage in this ETF has any drawback for your position in the long run. In 2008 I merely had 5 entries, all of which were short positions, and have been...

Go back to your job and trade a size your are comfortable with. Start small, grow big, even if it takes you years. In the end you are better off than starting big. Appreciate the power of monthly compound interest instead of trying to earn several thousands a day and live in fear. What is being...

Long? Almost 100 posts into this thread and you are going nowhere. You should seriously revise your trend following strategy.

Ever heard of hemorrhoids? Don't sit at your computer so long and spam us with useless crap. Buy whatever you want to buy and take a walk outside.

Quite true. For the very long term trends, the 150 SMA is accurate, as well. It is basically the weekly 30 SMA, converted to the daily time frame (30 x 5 weekdays). Attached are all discussed moving averages to give an impression.

Out of curiosity I took your 30 SMA and applied it to several time frames of the QQQQ. What struck me was its accuracy in the daily chart. If you are looking to join the long-term trends, as you say, this might be interesting for this particular index. You exploit the monster moves spanning...

Can you post a chart from time to time that shows your reversal entries? It would be very helpful to visualize it and see if your strategy has room for improvement.

Which simulator does that? Name us some. IB's Paper Trader for instance is very realistic in terms of trade executions. Using one is still better than gambling your money away because it tells you quickly what works or not. Obviously, scalping is not the approach you are looking for if you...

Interactive Brokers. I trade anything from there and it's the cheapest solution I have found. Very happy.

You only need to subscribe to the Osaka Stock Exchange (Â¥1,200 per month) to paper trade at IB.

Fatally wrong. Most traders started with a modest account and gathered their experience while building upon it. And we continue to pursue strict risk management. If you cannot bear the risks we take, simply trade smaller sizes.

First of all, learn correct spelling.

Do you see the links on the bottom right of each person's post, "Edit, Quote, Complain"? Use the quote link.

As far as I know, 32bit systems only support up to 3 GB of memory. If you have more built in you should go with 64bit. This is information I got while consulting tech support.

Not sure if this has been posted earlier. Funny video that I wanted to share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE-LDfroa1w

How do you define popularity? Traded volume? In this case it's currencies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_market "The FX market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators...

And the S&P fell 106 points to 1,106.

How about extending the time frame and hold multiple days until the uptrend is no longer intact? Worked very well. It was slower, that's all.

There is a trade-off. Either you focus on trends and patiently stay in for the bigger buck or you scalp the day in and out for the quick profit. I can imagine that you are not the latter individual, so perhaps figure a way to develop some protective measures such as taking partial profits along...

I challenge Dan Zanger with Takashi Kotegawa (B.N.F.): He has increased his own fund from 1.6 million yen ($13,600) to 18 billion yen ($153 million) in about 8 years. http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=4644
