UNbelievable. Everybody (and moderator) - see above vulture abused me for no reason. I responded. Then he replies as though it was my fault in the first place. No wonder there is so much violence in the world. You have SERIOUS anger management and it seems superiority problems. Get...

Youve got to be joking vulture. You have no idea who I am. Fk off.

You have to be the right person in the right timezone. Hes not taking losers or dilettantes.

Do you know Monk? His website and his email replies to me have all been very impressive in terms of their understanding of trading.

Seems a valid site - the guy really knows his stuff and seems very honest. Reversing - Ive tried and while I like it psychologically, I cant do it on an EOD basis (I have a day job). I think it only works in a continuous intraday setting. Takes a lot of skill, but all about smaller losses...

Wish I could have more than one but my darling wouldn't approve.

Your stops are eating your capital as a) they are too tight, or b) your entries suck.

Thanks for the great post Jack. I have saved it. BSAM and others - you can't control how Jack writes, in a similar way you can't make your girlfriend think the same way you do all the time. Choose to either a) ignore, or b) see where he is coming from to try to learn what you can. It may...

Think I get the point here Grob - I was using just price and stochastic, but a couple of experiences made me realise that referring to MAs is useful for clarifiying trend (in addition to the HL, LH price action discerning of trend). Many other people are using MAs and MACDs, so to not refer...

dgabriel - dont be a prick (re: your loser comment to the OP)

Upping this thread. What do people use for EOD futures data? I know esignal is good. Futuresource is very expensive. On the web it is not customisable enough. Ensign (windows version) which I use is good for some contracts, not others.

Great article.

Am I right in thinking that you must hold until you get a signal on your decision making timeframe, and withstand all fluctuations in a smaller timeframe? For example - I have just decided to put some of my money into swing trading on daily charts - making decisions only end of day. I'm...

Hi I would like to get an idea of what kind of trade stats people have to see what is possible, and/or common. This is not about $ - that depends on account size and risk - its about expectancy. I'll start: -Style: I swingtrade stocks for average holds of 5 days - Frequency: On...

Thanks for the responses so far. And as for above - one could transform to a kill rather than gather mindset on exits though not sure it is the same emotionally (as have already taken the initial shot (entry)).

I've been thinking that finding and entering trades is like hunting. Hunting a wild animal for example. Taking a risk. Ive been thinking that exiting is like gathering - bringing in crops for example, taking profits. Some people, like me, are natural hunters, and make great entries but...

I dont agree with Vikana's appoach. One of the reasons people cant trade well is excessive risk aversion. Can you imagine getting the worst fill of the day every day for an entire testing period? Probabilistically it would NEVER happen to all intents and purposes. I have been trading for...

20% p.a.? That is not very good - you can do just as good in a good mut fund with some occasional switches. Raising one's standards is good.

Oanda is fine. Fx trading without staying up 24 hours a day is a bit harder.

What an evil bastard. Moderator - can you track this person down?
