After trying to sell at 774 for more than a week I finally get filled. But of course no sooner had I caressed the ER2 at 774, she turned and slapped me in the face and ran to 779. But she's finally warming to my touch. Stop already moved to B/E.

Well,,,,,that was a nice flurry of activity (ES, NQ especially) between 14:17 and 14:21cst. I have a sell order in at 774. 25mins to go. Today I actually WANT to see a ramp-up into the close :D

Don't know if it's been posted already: www.dealbreaker.com Background article in today's FT. Page 20 of the US edition.

Before walking out the door, I had a quick look at intra-week patterns. Since start of the year Wednesdays have tended to be bullish. So I have just covered my short for a piddly 1 point. Prefer to sell into strength tomorrow. And if we don't see strength then I'll be looking to sell breaks...

dunno..... got stopped out of my short from yesterday at B/E and ended up reshorting it 769. I'm spending way too much time on this "strategy" but I can't help myself.... Anyways, as long as I don't lose too much on this perhaps it'll keep me from messing around with my other positions...

Do you currently use TradingBlox? Care to post a review? It sounds good from the website but without hearing from an actual user i'm hesitent to pay $2000+; especially when you can't try out the software ahead of time.

Short from 767 fig. 15min close below this morning's low coincides nicely with a break of a slightly longer channel.

I think we have come back to the issue that size really does matter...... I would also add that timeframe is critical.

Stopped out of last week's short at B/E. I *had* planned to sell short again at 774 but got side tracked with the bund and some currency trades and neglected to enter the order. Saw it trading at 775 and thought I'd hold off for 778..... And that's all I have to say about that...

Have you thought of applying to one of the graduate programs run by more established firms such as drw, citadel, ritchie etc?

Well, on arrival, be sure to put on your drinking boots and lace 'em tight! :D

Before coming to Chicago, I lived and worked in Japan as an expat (British & US banks) for over 5 years in the '90s. Both from a work, cultural and enjoying-life perspective, I had a blast. Like most endevours you will get out what you put into it. Sounds like you will be working for...

I am guessing that you don't have access to pro platforms such as bloomberg, telerate etc. Then i would suggest esignal combined with qcollector. Or maybe CSI data or perhaps an premiumdata.net.

Cool site. Thanks for the heads-up.

Here is another that I found on a dusty shelf: "Cosmopolis" by Don Delillo" Weird....but a fun read. A billionaire asset manager, trying to get across town in his stretch limo to get a haircut, while trading the yen.

Thanks for the Update. Will you be sending out an email to those who have registered on your site advising of the release? Also, Do you know of any reviews that have been written on Traders Studio? Also, Also, will you consider offering a trial period on the software?

I have not contacted them but from what I've heard is this is EXPENSIVE. $10,000+ (?)

But there ARE a number of smaller systematic /trend following firms ($100+ aum) that are doing exceptionally well. Meyer cap in chicago and Mulvaney cap in london come to mind. Their performance has not suffered even as they have grown. Bad performance ala Henry, Dunn; i am no expert but...

Thanks for the advice,......however, Yea----- you're right; i could probably get it to work. But rather than piddle around with techie software that will enable other software to work seamlessly with some other software (win XP); i think i'd rather annoy my wife and spend some $$$ to...

EMD = Emini S&P-MidCap. Careful with this one though, can be thin at times
