Hello Alan, You have mentioned that when a strategy performs well against random that you trade it until it no longer performs well against random. Rather than dropping a strategy all together, I am considering re-optimizing a strategy's parameters should the current parameters begin to...

Ksonsin - Phillipiness? I've not heard this before. What tax laws and such are in place there? Could you elaborate? - Thanks

That 15-20% representative sample of mutual fund flows might be enough to extrapolate. If the sample is 'random' and it is statistically significant, then it would work. As for correlating their indicators against actual returns, I have not done. I only picked it up and skimmed the book for...

I've tried finding a historical list of the IBD 100... is this available anywhere? I can't find a source (and I have an online subscription). Am I looking in the wrong place or does this not exist?

I don't trade options myself, but I hear that Investor's Business Daily's options review (or whatever they call it) is worth its weight in gold.

From the data they present on their website, they say that retail investors are skiddish and are not placing much money into funds. However, they do say that a large amount of money from the retail side is making its way into global ETF's. What makes them bullish is that corporate America is...

Saw a book the other day titled "Trim Tabs" and it explains what the author calls "Liquidity Theory". Seems to make sense. Does anybody here use them? Some delayed public information available at: http://www.trimtabs.com/pdf_files/Weekly_Liquidity_Review.pdf Apparently, they are 100%...

Near the airport, but pretty far away from things.

Yes, it’s done and it’s legal. From my research it will cost about $7,000 USD in legal fees on the State side to set up IF you work with a legal firm that specializes in this. You would pay about $35,000 USD or more if you ask a firm that does not specialize in this to re-invent the wheel as...

No one “LOVES” to pay taxes, myself included. The title line was meant to draw attention and discussion, not create a maelstrom of protests. My opinions as expressed (and these are of course my opinions, as are the other posts on this thread) I believe are pretty clear. But I will...

I might be interested:) What kind of things are you all interested in? What type of trading/instruments? Adam

A few months ago I actually wondered if I knew pretty much everything / all the tools available to someone looking to develop a system. All the books I would pick up at Borders or some other book store were all rehashing of the same topics. No sooner had I posed this thought to myself that I...

With so many threads discussing the many ways to avoid taxes (legitimately), I thought to add one in which I would discuss the reasons why I appreciate the tax system. First, I think America is a GREAT place to live, work, raise a family and pursue happiness. Without folks such as yourselves...

Hi Malaka, Yes, I think some - actually, everyone would use whatever guanxi they have to get into a good program. However, I also know that Chinese schools (especially the good ones) are very hard to get into. Example: one of my classmates while I was on exchange was the only person selected...

I actually think they are a very large firm, but not well known on the retail side.

Also, many large banks have entire groups that can help. The link below might have people at the other end who can guide you further. http://www.citibank.com/privatebank/ Also, what made you decide on Panama?

Hi Mrvizion, My understanding of what you are trying to do is in fact commonly done. I would suggest that you take all the info you can from this sight/postings as people may share (with several grains of salt:), but also that you consult with a law firm about your plans. As for managing...

A few interesting quotes: "Dreams are a dime a dozen. The people who can make them happen aren't." "Not everyone changes the world, but those who have purposed to do so."

If you run into any trouble, I'm sure there are plenty of us here (myself included) who would be willing to help put your ideas into a form you are satisfied with. Lemme know if Publisher doesn't work out for you. Adam

How many trades did you make during this period? - oh, and regrading what's next.. if you were to ever post a trading journal, I'd be one to check it out from time to time :D Adam
