I do not know the percentage of capital Jesse Livermore allocates to an individual trade. A 10 % stop loss policy is convenient for my modeling studies because both fluctuation parameter and reversal parameter can be 10 % under some circumstances. All three parameters can be treated as one...

This is an example of the kind of results that I observe when I simulate trading using scaling and non scaling systems: I use Penney (J.C.) Company (stock symbol JCP) daily closing stock prices adjusted for splits and dividends, 36.90 years from 4 January 1982 to 26 December 2008 in these...

My copy of "How To Trade In Stocks" by Jesse Livermore is ISBN 0-934380-20-1 originally published 1940, published May 1991. I count nine chapters in my book. The ninth and last chapter are the "Explanatory Rules". I remember reading that Richard Smitten interviewed friends and family of Jesse...

There may be more problems. I notice this story in the news today: Fed Grants GMAC's Request to Become Bank-Holding Company Wall Street Journal - 28 minutes ago By JON HILSENRATH and APARAJITA SAHA-BUBNA The Federal Reserve approved GMAC LLC's application to become a bank holding company...

I wonder how market profile is different from other trading methods. For example, suppose price values increase and are greater than the value area range limit. A trader has four choices: buy, sell, stay in or stay out. A trader that buys is buying a breakout. A trader that sells is selling at...

Jesse Livermore's method may be undefined at this part of my study. It is not clear to me (1) at what price Mr. Livermore stops a loss, (2) Mr. Livermore's rule for position sizing, and (3) what Mr. Livermore does when he observes a buy signal in his price records but there is no buy signal in...

I sometimes write computer programs that express price data as a series of sound tones. I wonder if by hearing I might detect price patterns that I do not detect visually or by computer algorithms. I do not think sound methods are superior to other computer trading systems. If you have...

I notice on Chapter 8, page 67 in my copy of "How To Trade In Stocks" Mr Livermore writes: "I wanted to find out what constituted the beginning of a natural reaction or natural rally. So I began checking the distances of price movements. First I based my calculations on one point. That was no...

From my copy of Jesse Livermore's "How To Trade In Stocks", from page 74, rule 6b: "In case a price is made which is lower than the last recorded price in the Downward Trend column, you would then record that price in the Downward Trend column." from page 75, rule 6d: "In case a price...

I do not think of it as earning a living. It is more about managing wealth. To me, managing wealth means not holding on to bad deals. I only hold good deals. To me it means stopping losses and taking reasonable risks.

You are in it. I use the search button sometimes. First lesson: Is this a bicycle? <img src=http://www.backyardlivingmagazine.com/photo-gallery/Sunflower-Power/album/slides/Sunflower-With-Butterfly.jpg \img>

Suppose you wish to buy a bicycle. You might begin by defining a bicycle. <img src=http://www.backyardlivingmagazine.com/photo-gallery/Sunflower-Power/album/slides/Sunflower-With-Butterfly.jpg \img> A sunflower is not a bicycle. Neither is a butterfly... in my opinion.. ..although...

I sometimes use Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to examine trading ideas.

Stochastic trading system. Buy if stochastic value is greater than 80 %, sell if stochastic value is less than 20 %. In this example I use General Motors Corporation daily closing price data (46.83 years). Risk is 5 %, initial capital $ 100,000, assuming $ 10 commission per trade, assuming 1 %...

These are the results of trading simulation using 46.83 years of General Motors Corporation daily closing price data. Heat is 5 %, initial capital $ 100,000, assuming $ 10 commission per trade. Buy when price value increases 10% Sell when price value decreases 10% Total Profit $ 54088...

The line may change because the greatest price value of the prior 30 days changes. You might experiment with an Excel spreadsheet and price data. =max(g2:g31) shows the maximum value of 30 cells, = min(g2:g31) shows the minimum value.
