BOOM?

I like this last bit of advice...if you don't cherish your funds, you will inevitably lose them. No doubt about it. Preserve what you have at all costs.

those folks won't help you write a strategy, unfortunately...awesome support for issues and questions though. they do have "partners" who provide such services...

Two suggestions for you -- 1) Maybe there is an underlying order that can be reasonably modeled. But maybe different markets require different models and the trick is knowing when to switch. 2) You can't model and backtest everything. There is something to be said for for...

How much of your portfolio were you risking on each trade? The stats don't look necessarily unrealistic, but the 77% figure must take into account position size. If you are position size achieving that 77% is large, then so will be your drawdowns. What happens then is that in real life...

Started dabbling in 1999. I made 1000% that year, literally. Almost all of it from a single networking stock. I lost all of it in a single day in early 2000. I think i was using Datek at the time and I remember trying like hell to get my sell order to go through and the damn site wouldnt...

HuggieBear managed to have a good week, in spite of this market wackiness. After the prior weeks mistakes, I resigned myself to becoming much more cautious and i mostly stuck to my guns last week. Stats as of week end: +8% Gain for the week -6% Current overall drawdown...

So this is the group that is planning to power the market on its next up-leg it looks like...

Wsn't a big deal...i had asked them to open up temporarily as I had a position i wanted to get closed before sunday evening. Was over pretty quickly...

Well, I'm bearish too, but the market is going up. Now, hear me out. It's not all that complicated, although it can lose you a lot of money. The market wants to make new highs, and it will. The only reason there is hesitation is because the market is extremely overbought. But...

It's time for a weekly HuggieBear update. Due to bad choices, bad intuition, and poor execution, I've entered a significant drawdown. Current damage is about 11% of total portfolio value. That still leaves me up about 12% on the year, however 11% damage in one week is not good...

HuggieBear has pounced upon today's opportunity- Currently 200% short via equities, specifically SCO, QID and SDS. Currently unhedged, although i might pick up some calls hedging me in at the recent highs. My strategy for the near term is to play this as a range bound market, playing...

today is ridiculous

out 79.80

amazing how badly they want it above 80 there is a real battle going on...

Short 80.02

no takers on this question?

Already popped back up...they really want to break this thing higher. Feels inevitable. Staying clear for now...could end up near $82 today.

Out at 80.52 for +.31 I will look to get short sometime before the jobs number tomorrow. Hopefully it pops up over 81 again, thats where i'll be looking. If i don't get a price i like, I may buy some USO puts just in preparation for horrendous jobs numbers. Lots of downside risk...

Apologies; shorted at 1/2 80.73 and 1/2 at 80.92. Avg 80.83.
