Not 80%. 100% loss in ~11 weeks and 100% drawdown in ~6 weeks, using "Best-case (fills), with commissions". Even without commissions, 96% loss and 98% DD. Of course, either way, that's before those very reasonable subscription fees. :D "There is a free trial period of 5 days before you...

Well, there are many systems on Collective2 where you pay a fixed amount $X per profitable trade. "Profitable" as judged by C2, not by either you or the vendor. "Reverse % of profits" model like you're suggesting doesn't seem feasible. Think about the logistics involved... too many issues...

There is a futures liquidity / bang for the buck table in every issue of S&C magazine. Here's April 2007 version, with an explanation of how it's constructed: http://www.traders.com/Documentation/FEEDbk_docs/Liquidity/FutLiq.html Futures and Active Trader mags have their own, less...

No fewer than 14 different online CTA databases are listed within the first 3 posts in this thread. Many ideas there for raising capital as well.

Go for it and maybe you can add to its liquidity, as Trader KGB alluded to.

No, I wouldn't say that. You actively shift the probabilities by explicitly dealing with the 5 IF's above, among other things, during your testing. You need to find and use what fits you... don't underestimate the importance of that first "IF". If anything, experimenting with finite...

Yep. Noticed first thing this morning that ET had jumped 1 hour forward overnight. Fun flashback to pre-2007 US DST settings, 1st Sunday in April.

The concept of a finite martingale, or doubling down up to a pre-determined loss limit is not exactly new, but a couple of centuries old. ;) It can work IF... - it fits your personality (many small wins, few large losses) - it fits the trading instrument (EUR/USD is only so-so; highly...

Actually, you can. Certified Mail @$2.40 provides both proof of mailing and Delivery Confirmation. Can be added to either First Class ($2.79 total) or Priority Mail. Also, if you need DC with your PM, as you know, it's $.50 extra ($4.55 total for a flat mailer). Unless you generate your...

Could be. Whether they are opening or not, the fact is that a Priority Mail envelope / mailer moves through the mail system in exactly the same way as a simple First Class Mail envelope, but at 10 times the price. It's "expedited" only in name. (For packages, Priority is, of course, generally...

Amaranth Sued by San Diego County Retirement Fund (Update2) By Jenny Strasburg March 29 (Bloomberg) -- Amaranth Advisors LLC was sued by the San Diego County retirement fund for securities fraud, the first investor lawsuit against the hedge-fund firm since it collapsed under a record $6.6...

By the underlying. I thought that HoundDogOne did answer the question in his 2nd post. In a nutshell, the arbs will see to it that the ETF is priced at its fair value, derived from the underlying components. That process is not necessarily instantaneous at all times. HDO, the part about 3%...

"Harry Potter" series is a lesbian fantasy?! Aha... that explains why all those millions of preteens can't get enough of it. Man, I gotta start paying more attention to pop culture.

WTG, Tigers! 4 of the top 27 places, incl. 1 of ~3+ girls.

The 7 forex trading tips you gave yesterday aren't working anymore? No way.

CFerret, you sign some of your posts "Janis" (example) and here mention your wife. Having trouble picking an online persona and sticking with it? :) Don't worry, we've all been there, although, I must say, usually not involving gender identity as a variable.

Interesting, although this type of a poll probably matters quite a bit less than one might think. The "voting-age Americans" aren't the ones who decide. First, more than half of them don't bother to vote; it's not a random half, either. Second, for better or for worse, the US elects the...

#2 (margin) is good advice at its core, if presented in a less than compelling way. The other 6 tips... really, really BAD advice for anyone who could benefit from forex trading advice. Can't tell if the OP is genuinely clueless, playing a trouble-maker for whatever reason, or works for FXCM.

Put down your shot glass slowly and command your eyeballs to focus on the fuel tank. ;) pdcomm, nice job. (Do you have the "before" pic?) My preferred R&R is to ride them... wouldn't know anything about how to build/fix'em.
