Well said DrEvil...Its a bit silly to think that price will follow/bounce off of an upward sloping trendilne or sell off of a downward sloping trendline.That doesnt mean that they cant be a major part of ones trading plan with proper risk/money management,but to think that they have "predictive"...

Hi HooLee, I have AmiBroker and wasnt aware it had P&F capability..Did you program it yourself?? Thanks Tao

Hi, Can someone help me make heads or tails what this poster wrote?As Surf applauded it,I would assume he has some insight.. The trader takes individual positions of 1-2% of capital...not risk.I got that.Since its so small,hes willing to let it go to zero,as opposed to a hard stop.He then...

You are missing the whole point.I chose a breakout system and a reversal system to be thorough in ones testing.It is not a comparison of one vs the other. Had you done a thorough testing of your "discovery",you would see that reversal sytsems do have much different characteristics than...

T-Dog,I get the impression that OP basically eyeballs a limited sample and most likely in one or 2 assets.He presents no statistical evidence that his claims are substantiated,and scaling out is indeed inferior...I would suggest the folowing,and assume someone who is so bold in his claims would...

At this point I would settle for one simulation clearly demonstrating that full liquidation is superior to scaling.. With that said,I ask the OP if he places any value on risk adjusted returns(volatility adjusted),and has indeed looked at them vs absolute return. I think NOT

I call...No way he worked for a major investment bank in the US and got an all cash bonus.The poster who wrote that as much as 40% goes into restricted stock at a 25% discount is correct. I know you are bluffing as you cousin would need an MBA to trade derivatives at any major investment...

Very true Reaver.... Its also important to trade in a style that suits your particular style.... As for the scale vs not to scale debate,it is a very simple task to backtest.I have not found one particualr method to have a significant advantage over the other.This includes all forms of...

How can it be a useful point to place a stop to liquidate longs as well as a possible point to go long?

Very well said mark,I couldnt agree with you more.When I dispute the validity of trendlines,I am soley referring to the penetration/support as Entry signals (or reversals)"in a vacum" I find it absurd when someone posts a chart and says "when you understand why this trendline break was...

False....Its OBVIOUS why they were pure gold in those charts..If you like< I copuld come up with 100 technical indicators that echo your sentiments... Trendlines do NOT work..How YOU trade them is entirely different..

Anyone who thinks that trendlines work in isolation is out of their mind and should just hand over their money..... Bouncing off trendlines,taking out the trendline is utter nonsense,other than short term reflex action due to "technicians" scrambling about... Does that mean they have no...

Nope..except in rare occurences

1)I have made markets in S&P EFP's and indeed traded them...I am not alone.. 2) Not sure I agree with your definition of "fair value"... 3) This trade is really not like dispersion,even with an implied correlation of 1.Technically it is an arb,but very different.....

Mr Nitro, I have traded index arb at a AAA institution and am looking foward to seeing your answer... I must not be understanding the question

You have two choices(actually more,but for simplicity 2) You can simply reverse the position before contract expiry(or on expiry/settlement price day) You can do an EFP..Exchange for physical...There is actually a market where you can trade both sides at a predetermined price.. That...

why are you confused??You appear to have a good handle on it. The whole trade is really a funding trade,unless one trades optimised or tilted baskets.. There is more to the trade,but you essentially have the basics down

I would come up with a different version of the "truth"..Getting fired for dropping 100,000 after being up 3,000,000 will only bring laughter..
