I think it's good to acknowledge the gambling nature of it. But is there any way to increase odds to >50%? For example, I can GUARANTEE that the S&P will be higher in 50 years than it is today. But that doesn't help me with short-term leveraged trading.

Do you enter trade when 90 crosses the 9?

I'm confused what I'm looking at. The charts show a year. Where were your trades placed? Do you use vertical spreads to hedge risk?

Yet there are those that do it. George Soros didn't use TA. But I've even met people personally who have made lots of money with highly leveraged trading. One things for sure: if you have a lot of money, and you put it in something that's highly leveraged... You will either make or lose a lot...

Can you please respond to my previous post?

Ok. Well I need some strategy. Otherwise, I might as well be playing roulette. I realize that no strategy will win every time.

Do you mind trying to post that attachment again? What is your definition of "price development?"

What is statistical analysis on futures spreads? What platform do you trade them on?

So what do YOU trade based on?

About 23% annual ROI if you bought in beginning of 1993. You can't predict recession bottoms or tops until after the fact. In fact, you don't even know you're in a recession until you're 6 months into it, by definition.

I think your attachment didn't work. On such short timeframes, doesn't the bid-ask spread get in the way?

Does the screenshot attached look similar to what you're looking at? Doing some quick calculations on the frequencies of ticks, that means... 1500 ticks = about 6.5 minutes 4500 = about 20 minutes 13500 = about 1 hour Is that about right? What signals do you watch with your moving averages...

What are your favorite technical indicators and time frames? What do you trade?

Also consider... How many times does the S&P drop 3 consecutive days in one year? Multiply that number by 3 (for the 3 day hold period). That's how many days your money would be working. Would it even be working 10% of the time?

I know it's a great way to lose money. Which is why it's still paper trading. You have about a 47% chance of doubling your money instantly with roulette if you put it all on black. Also a 53% chance of losing it all. High risk = high reward. I also asked about best ways to hedge risk. I also...

What's the best place to start? Technically (no pun intended), I already know somewhat about different indicators. I just came to the conclusion that looking at them over different time periods would give different results. To give an example of the types of things I'm currently trying. In my...

Is there any way to use this SPY example in an options strategy? Since it's only a planned 3 day hold period, is that enough time for options trading?

Ok, thanks. Do you know where I can find a list of similar examples?
