    5K to 5 BILLION

    Compounding is straight forward. The assumption is that you are fully deployed. In other words, if the sum of capital your using is 5K, this is your reference point for gains. So week 1 when you invest, you deploy the full 5K. When you close out the position for your gain (~2%), you reinvest the...

    5K to 5 BILLION

    It may be worth while for you to consider compounding. In otherwords, assume that you can pick off 2% a week, an extremely reasonable sum. Without compounding, over the course of a year you will realize 104% assuming your 2% is net of comm. However, if you compound each weeks 2% gain (ie...

    5K to 5 BILLION

    Actually, there are several that have 100% returns on an annual basis. In fact, if you were using a rolling 52week chart of the entire market, you will always find several with 100% returns. Of course there is some juggling to do since injecting $100k into the market is different than injecting...

    Tradestation: a Basic Crossover Strategy

    Actually, the MA is calculated tick by tick (well, on QT it is). When traders look at MAs what they are seeing is actually snapshots that are taken every X period. For example, a 5 period MA uses the last 4 closes from the previous 4 bars in addition to the current tick to generate an MA of 5...

    Tradestation: a Basic Crossover Strategy

    We have to be a bit careful here because in order for something to be bought on bar open, you would have to have an open that is part of your condition. In otherwords, your statement is really saying buy the OPEN if the OPEN is a crossover. Otherwise, you cannot buy the open on information that...
