Actually I thought someone else pointed out that this drawdown is either equal to worse than the worst drawdown during the entire backtested period (if that is not correct please let me know) so it is not simply the case that he can't handle an expected drawdown, its that the system is...

Frosty already says he compares his live fills against his backtesting engine run against the same data to make sure that live is matching the backtesting. If there were any problems with the backtesting being overly optimistic in terms of fills, using unfair look-ahead (as someone else...

I have to agree. You are attempting to add another layer of decision making (your own with the emotional baggage attached) on top of an automated system. Doing so invalidates all of your backtesting. If you think that the system tends to have good days/bad days why can't you code that...

What you are talking about has nothing to do with recent tax laws or even how you structure yourself, its basic capital gains/losses. If you have capital losses in one year that exceed $3k you can only deduct up to $3k against other ordinary income, the rest of the losses carry forward to the...

Frosty, just let it keep running. This is the exact same situation as last time where you just happened to pick a drawdown period to start running live and then pulled the plug right before it started its next profitable move up. You've done the proper backtesting, optimization and...

Hang in there Frosty!

Right dandxg, when I traceroute to globalfutures.com using a site that lets you select different source points (ex: http://www.cogentco.com/htdocs/glass.php) I end up with these results: Looking Glass Results: Los Angeles...

Its very likely that changing ISP's from cable to DSL will change the route since different ISP's connect to the internet backbones in different ways. You could also do traceroutes from different places on the internet (http://www.traceroute.org/#USA) to see if there is any common problem but...

All that means is that globalfutures.com has elected to not respond while rjofutures.com does - do not read into it anymore then that. You can't ping cisco.com either but you can bet their site is up and running just fine... To find out the source of your problem leave ping plotter up and...

If a particular node (be it a router or an actual server) is configured to not respond to icmp packets then you arent going to get back ping or traceroute results from that nodes. Those timed out entries in the traceroute are hops that dont respond - there is nothing more you can do about...

All that means is the destination does not respond to ping packets (ICMP). Many sites dont Try pinging the last hop that does respond to icmp (you can figure that out by doing a traceroute=tracert), the difference between the last hop and the second to last hop in terms of latency should be...

I would not assume that you will get 10Mbps end-to-end, that makes the assumption that every link between the source and destination has that capacity available, a dangerous assumption. The only way to know for sure is to test it. If I had to bet, I would say you wont get anywhere near...

Yes, and what is this I hear about the internets? Tell me more about that.

LOL, I can't believe you bothered to answer... can't you tell when someone is putting you on?

However I do find it interesting that HolyGrail stated that when that situation happened to him they took back the "extra" profit. That hardly seems legit.

Even DOCSIS 1.0 is faster then the numbers you stated.

In HFC networks there isnt a single piece of copper between the fiber node and all homes serviced by that node and I don't know of any cable networks that are constrained to 27/2Mbps shared bandwidth for all customers off of a node - that's insanely low. I'm not a big fan of cable ISP's but...

Are you speaking from personal experience? Not doubting you...just wondering because there seems to be a lack of information about actual real subscriber rates over there.

They can do anything with it? Like offer for sale to other people for less then you are selling it for? Just messing around, good luck with your latest venture.
