olympics does wonders for real estate of the particular city. aint it funny how soros has accumulated a lot of london real estate for the past year.

every time i start trading a new system it goes into drawdown. i think because most of the time after paper trading/simulation you start to trade live after a good period of trades, and then comes the bad period with real money on the line(murphys law i guess). but if your method is profitable...

brandon, would you play your opinion on LU with options, like buying some way out calls, thus not tying up margin? thanks.

a lot of systems have gone sour in this low-volatile, highly competitive environment, maybe there hasnt been enough volatility to make it worthwhile from 2004 onwards, just look at a 10yr graph of the ATR of any stock to see what i mean.

good analogy, this is excatly how i treat my discretionary trading; im lying low in the grass like a tiger with bulging eyes watching the herds flow by, then when i see a weak prey within my grasp i POUNCE and grab that thing by the neck and dig my teeth in. i think trading is just modern...

actually ib spread on eur/usd is normally 1 or 2 pips and cad/usd most of the time is around 10 pips. and 2 pips extra is quite a lot for me, most strats make around 2000pips per year on 250 trades so an extra 2pips is an extra 1000 pips per year or 50% more costs.
