Might have some similarities, you even said it was a great month for longs, so why not use a bullish strategy. You can either like the system or not I just liked the results and wanted to share them. Better than most of these negative P/L resulting stratagies around. As for the "you...

Yeah, I used to work for a Security firm, hacking your account thats one thing. They need more than an e-mail from you to move money to an account that was not designated, most places make you reauthenticate your destination account days before you can even move the money. Hack is one thing...

6) Ed Seykota He really seems to get down to the heart and soul of any endeavor. It takes focus, it takes believing in the idea of abundance, it takes almost intuition and faith. I find Seykota to be almost a yogi of trading. He really sunk in the idea for me a while back that I am...

You are correct, instead you can go back to that actual date on a timeline and track your trading strat. As far as backtesting goes yep 6 months. SUits my needs for now thinking of switching to TradeStation but I need to explore version 7 more I am hearing mixed reviews. The good thing about the...

No he simplifies complex free cash flow calculations to the point any one with at least the GE out of a GED could understand. If you have a finance degree like me its not much help, but it sure gives you an idea how the rest of the world views asset management. Pick up the book rich...

Most likely not, even without testing the system past 6 months, the market was in a different phase 6 months ago. I would say that this system would only be good if the markets 200 day moving averages were in an uptrend like they are currently. 6 months ago this wasn't the case. The...

You do have a point. I did have to look at a longer period to get a mental idea when the environment of the market changed from bull to bear ect. I still after asserting a general idea the market environment want to run the test in a shorter 6 month frame to be as close to current conditions as...

I dated a model and she lost weight when she wanted to fast. Just don't eat and drink caffinee and chew gum when you get hungry. Till your at the wieght you want, then the next stage is when you go out you order salads eat the lettuce and push around the croutons around and pout. If you...

yeah I use it for backtesting. It backtests a basket of stocks based on the customized criteria, so if you want to backtest just one or two stocks stick with tradescan. If you want to test your system against the entire market and isolate high performance correlations with a sector and your...

market sim, its a webpage service. www.marketsim.com good luck.

Longshot with allergies???:confused:

I feel the shorter testing periods more likely show the current behavior of the market. I'm kind of skeptical of long testing periods when markets are in different phases. This one is definitly not like anything in 2001. Even taking into account 2001 in backtesting will greatly bias results...

Here is a system I have been back testing. Its a variation of the system I am using short term, but applied to a 6month time frame for the hell of it. yeilded some pretty awesome results. The only thing is you can't deviate from the methodology one bit, and we all know how much disipline that...

haha I'm just bustin your chops, your posts are great. Is it just me or when you look at mister T's posts he comes across sounding like one of those broker recruits from the movie "Boiler room" "That's it skippy, pack your shit, let's go!" :p

Thats the best analogy yet.. and right on the Money

Since when is a hit 250K? You gotta shop around. :D

Also, If you want to chase after clients and listen to thier every wet dream or desire, and take the heat when you have to tell them the reality of a situation or worse if your screw up. If you like that be a broker. After a few years maybe you can move into financial planning ect.. and still...

Rule 1 about anything in life and definitly being a trader is ti be resouceful. go to any US exchanges website and they will explain the terms. If you need it in even more laymans terms go to www.google.com and type it em in. The test is only going to kick your ass if you let it. Which...
