Because you charge as much as you can. People don't start hedgefunds because they have some altruistic need to create wealth for others, they do it so they can create wealth for themselves. If you could generate 20% returns and have $6.5 billion under management why would you lower your fees...

Is there a way to hook up excel to a quote provider, like esignal or CQG and track your p/l while manually entering your open positions? 5yr

3 standard deviations of what? A moving average? What length?

New highs today. If you think something is going to 30 or 40 and it is at 18, why would you wait for a pull back? Doesn't make sense to me. What if it pulls back from 22 to 20, your entry price is still much worse than if you bought it RIGHT NOW. Products in bull markets tend to go up. 5yr

Nice Call surf, what January performance for the fund look like

Thanks

It sure has been fun on the way up. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=911083#post911083 Last sentence of the post. Still long. :D

And you get much better rates than you could possible get trading retail.

Hey Surf, Nice calls lately. Hows the fund doing? 5yr

Run, It sounds like you are getting away from your system, by adding on to a trade. If you are going to trade a system you should have set rules that tell you when/if you can add to a position. Also Grob made a very good point that stocks with different volatilies deserve stops that are...

I am really enjoying this thread run, thank you. If you are doing this just to show that TF in stocks can work you should keep you -3% +3% entries and exits, and don't add the 4 day rule. If you really want to create a trendfollowing system you should keep your 3% stop loss, but come up...

New York City seems to be the center of things.... :D

LOL, well probably less than $1286, You will barely last into feburary 06 at that rate. Since you just started trading you should cut yourself off at 1/2 your biggest gain, so $30 (meaning: stop trading). And why not start with 1 lots with such a small account until you show that you can be...

Yes, it was addressed by "let it run." To the original poster: If you have already factored into your equation what will happen when you drop the previous days from the equations you are saying that you can predict whether the next day will be an up or down day, which would be very...

One more thought, the system you are trading now probably has a higher percentage of winners than losers, so you think it would be a bad idea to reverse your entry points. The system I am proposing would lower your winning percentage but your winners should be much larger than your losers. A...

If possible you should try and back-test this system, I have a feeling that you will find that you should be buying when you are selling and vice versa. As to waiting until your stop gets hit, isn't that the point of your stop? You have identified it as your uncle point so if a trade starts...

Where are you positions for this week? Did you give up already?

Use "timely" instead of "early" Also say "I am looking foward to" instead of "I am looking for" New sentence should read "I am looking foward to your timely reply" 5yr

I haven't ever seen surf put on a winning trade, I am sure he has I just haven't seen it. Surf you just want to be known as "the guy that called the top in google correctly," I don't actually think you have this on. It is like your short oil call under the guise of "hank rollins" just before...

Thats quite a hedge fund. He makes 300% /year if he doesn't raise his position size as equity grows, which I would imagine someone this consistent would have no problem doing. Which fund is it I would like to invest.
