Helicopters are pretty insane flying machines. I fly lots of other stuff.... and got to try one last year. I knew basically how all the controls work, so the pilot gave me control for a while. Its amazing those things even stay up! Unlike other flying aircraft, if you let go of the...

Hehehe.... traders living in I-Owe-Ya :D peace axeman

Getting lean... When I approach a problem, I typically first look for other people who have already solved it. If you want to be ripped.... look around and find people who are ripped, and do what they do. Who are these super lean people??? Body builders! I always laughed when...

I'm one of those bastards everyone hates because I can eat anything and lose weight. I'm doubly hated because NOT eating is also very easy for me to do. Fasting would be pretty simple for me. So yeah... i'm just pulling your leg. But the research is real. For example.... the...

I have the simplest diet in the world that is proven to work, sometimes TOO well. It's called anorexia. Just stop eating... you will lose weight... duh :D Seriously though.... starvation diets have been shown to extend life expectancy. Low cal diets prolong life. peace...

I often wonder if the same was true of Jesse L. KNEW how to trade, but just bet WAAAY to big all the time. Anyone have any details? peace axeman

Don't take me so literally. All i'm saying is that learning proper system development takes a long time, and then developing a working system takes a lot of time too. I've spent a LOT of time on a single system, which I finally got profitable and "well behaved". I have also spent a...

Yep. There are relatively simply systems that work, but are fricken hard as hell to find. They are buried under a HUGE mountain of trading myth and BS that is floated out there by thousands for people. There are relatively complex systems that work, but take forever to develop. In...

Nitro, Please say that again. Im so sick of hearing this "it's mostly pyschological...." blah blah blah CRAP. :D The fact is, the average person cannot even develop a SINGLE working idea that has a positive expectancy. Leave the psychology mumbo jumbo aside and FIRST develop...

Nice. Enjoying your journal. Just started my education in swing trading... my next frontier.... so this is truly inspiring. peace axeman

No. The average guy does not have the capital or the tenacity to survive the learning curve. This thread is a serious wake up call to all newbies. Dont buy the "trading is simple" BS you hear from some traders. How simple can it be with these kinds of failure rates? It takes some...

Ever notice now the bullish BAT pattern is a lower high? Huh? Ever notice how the bullish Gartley pattern is a lower high? Huh? Ever notice how the bullish Crab pattern is a lower high? Huh? Ever notice how the bullish AB=CD pattern is a lower high? Huh? Ever notice how the...

Well said opw... I have often come to realize that the "edge" is in this unspoken market experience guys like Tony have. They think its so easy... they explain it in simple terms... ... but then you lose money using THEIR rules. Why? It's those little unspoken "obvious" things which...

wwatson1, Are you using any other rules? My numbers dont look remotely like yours. I enter long on ema(10) > ema(200) and exit on ema(10) < ema(200) Reverse for shorts. .25 slippage on entry and exit Holds over night, and only enters/exits on crossovers. peace axeman

I have done 2 full auto systems so far. This is a first for me though. Its my first statistical based system, developed in a "tradestation" style... aka datamining, etc, etc.. So I have to be real conservative. Im still a newbie systems developer. Im in the "prove to myself im not...

I could tell ya, but then id have to kill ya :D Yeah.... looks good so far, but will drive me CRAZY trying to trade it. Trades very rarely, as you can see. :mad: Seems quite robust as well. Need to verify it in several more ways. Then ill consider a 6 month test period with 1 lot...

Here is the ecurve of the ES system ive been working on for a while...and trying to finalize. peace axeman

Even worse... Here are the results for the BIG SP back to 82 (NOTE: The data does not come forward enough, so thats why the big dip at the end is missing, which you see in the 1st equity curve ) This is the system developers paradox. Look back far enough, and everything stops working...

wwatson1, Are you using any other rules? My numbers dont look remotely like yours. I enter long on ema(10) > ema(200) and exit on ema(10) < ema(200) Reverse for shorts. .25 slippage on entry and exit Holds over night, and only enters/exits on crossovers. ==============...

Screwed that up.... Here is the real equity curve... peace axeman
