Have you read: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=43388 Seems there are some people trading the OO strategy and doing well at it. Don't know their annualized return but I'll bet it's well over the hurdle rate you claim is not attainable. I am running an account this...

Over at TS World there are several threads describing the horror stories of how slow 8.1 is compared to 8.0. Some users report it taking nearly a half hour to load their charts vs under a minute with 8.0. TS says they are working on solving the problem but their track record is not that good...

Hey Forrest, Do I get a % ;) Too bad about Friday as it was my best trade for the week on this system. I don't understand why you did not get a signal on Friday on ER2 while I did on IWM. I don't track ER2 but I do trade it sometimes based on IWM signals. My Friday trade triggered...

My modified version of this strategy had a decent week with these trades: trading IWM: 7/18 no trade 7/19 Long 66.40 Exit 66.55 7/20 Long 67.14 Exit 67.45 7/21 no trade 7/22 Long 67.04 Exit 67.39 These are actual entry/exit points. DS

Why not pass on increased costs? If there are no lower cost suppliers then you will see higher costs passed on to the consumer. What will stop WMT and others from going to other low cost locations, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Africa? And, what makes you think China is cutting off its nose...

I see you are following the most important maxim of economic forecasting: If you give a date, don't give a number. If you give a number, don't give a date. Good work.

IMO: Higher oil prices as the yuan is worth more, ie oil is cheaper to China so they can afford more or maybe if its price in dollars holds it will be less costly to China; Higher US interest rates, including mortgages, as China buys less US bonds and this should slow down US economy...

Fred, Do you have a link for this story? DS

Are you saying it is cheaper to test a system by trading it as opposed to performing walkforward testing???????????? I sort the curve fitted systems out by walkforward testing. There is a lot of good info on backtestin in ET but it takes more than a few minutes of skimming to find the good...

Suggest you read Stridsman's book: Trading Systems That Work before you trade this or any other system with real money. Did you perform walkforward testing? I've produced dozens of IWM/R2K systems that look much better than one you show but would not trade them as I know they are the...

nitro, Thanks for the heads up on the chair. I test drove an Aeron and then bought the knockoff from Office Depot and I find them both to be great chairs. DS

Posted previously on 7/9 in EXCEL format. Backtest/real results have tracked reasonably close since I started trading it in mid January. DS

Keep track of the high of the day for the first 15, 15 minute bars. After 15, 15 minute bars from the open have passed and the adv/(adv+dec) (ratio of advancing/declining issues) is greater than whatever value you want and trin is less than the value you chose then BUY on the...

I did and don't see what you are referring to, which link and which section of the link has the information re. warming of the arctic? The first link refers to the Antarctic so that can't be it. And its author says this: "Even in the Arctic I am sceptical of some claims that 40 per cent...

Yes, which paper? The ones I looked at showed as much doubt about GW as they did to support it. Maybe I missed the link or didn't read the part of it you are referring to. Please point me again to it. If you are referring to the paper on the "Day After Tomorrow" effect, I posted a link to...
