In a related matter, has anyone ever tried to run a self directed RRSP through a broker or management firm with any success? The management firm, Investors Group in my case obviously steered me away because they'd get no management fee if I didnt selet their funds. The brokers were...

Well, if your for real a .30% stop and 1.2% avg win size indicate a 4:1 risk reward ratio. Thats very good. What is the win / loss rate in your trading?

Ryan Jones book "the trading game" discusses position size as the main theme of his book. His strategy is called fixed ratio money management, which in stocks and futures, blows away fixed fractional, so you scale up contracts on good trades and scale down on bad trades. Obviously he spends...

Do you know anything about Refco in MTL? I went to the site and it seems they only trade in futures contracts. Any idea if they trade equities? How is it , prop or salary? Thanks Eric

I just visited the profit from price site and downloaded the free ebook. Are you the author by any chance, or did you come across the site yourself? My question for you is how often does this trading event occur, buying a stock during a retracement ( 4 week low ); it doesnt seem like their...

I agree Momo has alot more value added in his suggestion to rank the prop firms in Canada. Because Swift for one may not even be around in 6 weeks. Maybe we could even rank those that allow traders to take EOD / daily positions, few that there are.

Looks Great! I had a system like that once, but it bought future bars. I was in a state of shock for a day or so. But the results were too good anyways, I should have known from the start.

spike, obviously I would make myself a director of the BVI company or subsidiary, Im just concerned about whether I could simply have a po box or forwarding address here to receive correspondence. Basically I'd try to incorporate online. But I guess based on what youve said this is more...

Virgin Islands sounds the best for myself. Can I open a new account at IB and trade it via a corporation in the virgin islands without trouble? Must I prove citizenship or status of living in the virgin islands while I open an IB account? I know that opening the IB account was alot of...

I wonder if any other traders have taken up on the idea to trade from an Estonian Company. The bahamas sounds expensive to do legal paperwork and what not. It should be too expensive to simply incorporate a firm there or set up a subsiduary there for the luxury of a tax haven. It seems...

I have a strategy below that returns 25.89% on average from 95-05 for the DJI 30. However I'm worried about a bias, because I havent added and deleted actual DJI stocks, I just backtested the current 30. It also had a 40% drawdown in 01-02, but the 100k account in 95 is now 867k versus 281k...

Hmm, so if I incorporate in Estonia, I wont pay taxes, or rather how low on average are they?

I have both of them. I found free resources at Seykotas site, and a version of Van Tharps Trade your way to financial freedom available in pdf online. Also turtleRules has some money management if you do futures. I found though both are ok books, that I have wasted their potential not having...
