Chocolate tester - yum yum. (has to be belgian choccies though...) :)

Yeah yeah yeah.... Seen a few of those too LOL Natalie :)

ROFL Sounds exactly like all the garbage that comes through my letter box. LOL Natalie

Sounds like a job for that guy in that spoof article - that when he was arrested on charges of insider dealing after turning $800 into $350m in 2 weeks claimed he was from the future (as featured in another thread)... Wouldn't that be a neat trick though. :D Natalie

To me, I'd rather have the higher amount of Ram that is fast enough anyway, rather than a lesser amount of RAM which is faster but not enough faster. Some of the things I run are very memory & CPU intensive and I can't justify the additional cost of 1024 RDRAM over DDRAM. So the new...

Agreed completely. It is a very harsh world indeed, where people don't help each other. Happy Easter Natalie

I understood your point perfectly but thank you for further expansion of it and apologies for any misunderstanding. Your point did however imediately lead me to thinking of the system of forcing those like us to help others of whom you have spoken, and then give it a label and description...

I always thought that in the main it was institutionally controlled money (fund managers and the like) that moved the markets and that the vast majority of people just jumped (or fail to) on their coat tails - usually after the main event. I wonder what they (the institutional guys) look at...

Is it? Sounds like the difference between FTSE 100 and FTA to me. FTA still gets reported a lot, but doesn't really mean much when most of FTA's value is in the FTSE 100 anyway. I would suspect that if NDX was the one reported all the time instead of the Comp, that would be the popular index...

You are quite right. - That is not Socialism as you describe it - just as long as you have the choice that you are doing that. However, when you are paying taxes that total more than 70% of your income (probably more like over 80% if truth be known), and paying taxes on your wealth (if you...

Socialism - not compatible with capitalism - Yes - probably a topic for another thread. It has really taken hold and strangled so much of European enterprise in the last 80-100 years, and seems to be creeping into the US as well. In Europe, (some countries more than others) anyone that works...

If the problem is that every time it tries to trade it loses, try adding a line to the code that after say 3 (or whatever number you decide) consecutive losers in 1 day it stops trading or something like that? or a max intraday drawdown or something big enough to work inside and small enough to...

:) And anyway, working harder and getting smarter in the bad times makes me even better and stronger for when the good times come again. - I knew there was an upside to difficult markets :D Natalie

Doesn't it just? :D I managed 8 net per car that day. Taking 1/2 a point here and a point there etc. It would have been more but for a couple of mistakes made that cost me. Trading the e-minis it is possible to make consistent gains in spite of what some stock traders think, but I think...

Esignal is pretty solid for the US instruments but not very good for European. There can on occasion be a delay (more like the machine hanging for a moment while it calculates something) and this especially can occur at the most busy times. It depends what your chart set-up is. Having said that...

It is possible to be fairly consistent, and what you are asking for is possible. There will always be some sort of a draw down somewhere along the line, because nothing works all the time on everything. You will need to find things that occur regularly with a predictably high outcome rate...

From the original assertion. In the same way one could say that one system on ES requires 25k and an different system on ES requires 10k. When making comparisons it would be better to compare like for like. On like for like, I'm not convinced about the bigger account argument at all. On...

I would agree with that. By all my calculations including avarage daily range, volatility etc, I've come to the conclusion that trading 2 cars on ES has a very close $ risk correlation to trading 4 NQ. (which pretty much agrees with your 3.5-4 point estimate...) Natalie

Can be used in many different ways, trend identification and crosses are just 2. Using a longer avarage quite often there is a tension between the avarage and the price. The price gets too far from the avarage and the avarage can not keep up with the movement. So the price comes back to the...

Many people have already said much of the difference. When you get to study the movement closely, you will find out just how very different they are and where a technique may work on one most of the time it may not be nearly so good on the other and vice versa. Their ranges are different...
