31% max DD is calculated on a monthly performance basis? What's the worst drawdown on intra-month or intraday basis?

Aaron, do you automate your trades with FFastTrade? Can you use T-Bills as a margin?

Dear Brothers and Sisters, :D Please be Honest here. How much do you lose? Consider wasted time which you can use to work somewhere else, consider software & hardware costs, your account balance, poorer eyesight & health etc. :D How much time do you waste reading those qdz, harrytrader...

man, huge DD in March? Nice trends and high volatility are continued in 03/2003... But they can be caught in fast, sharp oil and euro fall recently.

Hmmm this fund is up 53% after first 2 months of 2003 http://www.iasg.com/SnapshotPT.asp?ID=420 and that's net of 35% incentive fee. Seems to be great strategy for a fund to trade aggressively when a fund is small - nothing to lose, high chances to attract new money, grow above ~$50M and then...

In 1991 bond yields were at ~8% now ~4% hence P/E ratio near 2x higher 2003 vs 1991

LOL Miki. :) Trane, how can you explain things like - man knows after OBE what has happen in other rooms, while he was near death lying in bed?

Looks like Advanced Futures or FFastTrade can provide better service (for futures markets). Low rates, phone support, well-known and reliable order-entry platforms. For charting you can use SierraCharts or AmiBroker with cheap myTrack datafeed. I'm not using any of the above now. Just looking...

IMAX is cool.. but your wife will kill you. "X-Top 18 eight screen digital flat monitor setup" is a bad choice. You may choose http://www.iiyama.com/web2002/product/32p_5611.htm 3840x2400 res, 9.2 mega pixels. Should be enough for 15 charts with 8 technical indicators each :cool:

Their customer support sucks. I've sent an email with few questions to sales@tradestation.com on 20th March still I haven't received any answer. I've also sent PM to two ET Members who represent TradeStation: MichaelD and Janette Perez. No answer.

Sure she won't. Rent an IMAX theatre instead of these small 2-D panels! You know, 3-D charting, mutli-dimensional scanning, seeing a broad deep market scope is a trader's heaven! :)

Not exactly - http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/7823/psychcourse2.html#21 Sleepwalking (somnambulism) is also an interesting topic. A person is unconscious, while asleep he can talk, dress, undress, eat, move around with avoiding obstacles or even drive a car! Telekenesis: some...

OK, we've discussed here on many subjects except these: OBE, astral worlds, radiesthesia, telekenesis. They're all connected, but first one seems to be the most fascinating. Links: http://www.psywww.com/asc/obe/faq/obe00.html http://skepdic.com/obe.html...

Yeah I agree with alterego. OK FFasttrade rates are low. More important issue IMO are high emini exchange fees vs Eurex fees. Bund, Estxx avg daily vol ~1.1M ; ~500k exch fees 0.4 ; 0.6 r/t Dax daily vol ~110k exch fee 1.0 r/t ES daily vol ~700k exch fee 2.3 r/t NQ daily vol ~250k exch...

Left side of the graph on this site includes a statement "adjusted for dividends, etc."

that's right Seth. Looks like March is going to be another great month for many CTAs, volatility is exploding. My calculations show that top 100 CTAs from iasg database (in terms of assets under management) had +4.4% avg result in Jan 2003.
