I'm an algorithmic trader, and I still get nervous/trigger shy everytime my systems enter into positions (that's 100x a day for each symbol). It's not unusual to have forms of performance anxiety. In high school, I was nervous before every single race I ever had on the track team - even...

China SAYS its GDP grew by 11.9%. Read that again, with the explicit understanding of China's command economy and level of media control.

Allow me to share my opinion with you. My perspective is one of a person who has worked both on the buy and sell side as a trader for 10 years now, and is currently studying for the level 2 portion of the CFA. Within "The Business", a CFA designation is taken quite seriously. If you're...

If those of you who haven't had success in the ES think you're ready for the 6E, get ready to join 2 million other currency traders. Trust me - it's the same game.

Thanks for the response fellas- Turns out to be "user error" on my part; part of my code was resulting in an extra 20-25% tick count being added across the board. Problem solved -

Much appreciated -

Where on the website was that quoted from? Thanks -

Not sure which part of "Technically Speaking" this goes but since I work on automated systems I figured I'd insert here. One of the models I developed used DTN.IQ feeds for all futures data (CME, CBOT, NYMEX, ICE stuff). Everything is front month outrights. I've coded everything locally...

Here's the thing... It's not that China is a "currency manipulator." If that's the brush we're going to use, we're going to start painting way outside the intended lines. Why? Well, to start, the United States is a currency manipulator. *SHOCK* *GASP* You may or may not know...

I'll defer to you and let you trade however you want. I'll keep off reading these journal entries (they don't matter to anybody but you, just as nobody cares about my journals). However, please do us a favor and post us a PDF copy of your account at the end of the year. Good luck, CG.

This all looks TOTALLY RANDOM. I can't say it enough. You picked an arbitrary "high" at some point, then another arbitrary "low" at another, both of which were well within the total range of the day. You decided to go short for no other reason than (insert your reason here). If it goes...

If you can answer all those questions, you should be learning how to program.

Did you use fibonnaci risk management?

This is going to be awesome.

The only people who are going to say something like this are the ones who have no idea what they're talking about, nor any experience doing any of this. You're on the right track with your allocation ideas -

I should probably add to my prior statements. From my recent experience, the EU is probably more liquid than the NQ, though not by much. You could probably trade 50 cars and get a tick of slippage on a market sell of your whole position - which isn't much for a deep-pocketed trader who can...

What kind of results does that produce from September 2008-March 2009?

Are YOU liquid enough to trade 50-100 contracts? That's an awful lot of size to be swinging considering you have no idea how the contract trades...

I don't know how else to say it but your profit appears to be completely random. Would you have shown us this if, after buying @ 1133.75 (your initial fill?), ES collapsed 3 points lower? These levels mean nothing. You can draw a dozen fib lines on a chart and eventually you're going to...
