Great trading.

I think P:L is much more important than a simple % win figure. Are you based in Australia ?

No I mean the P:L ratio... Simply net profit / abs(net loss) So if over a week you make a $4000 profit and a $500 loss. P:L ratio is 8:1.

So how many trades are you making in a week/month ? Also interested to see profit:loss ratio.... must be pretty high ...

$10k to $105k in 8 months... stunning performance. Be interesting to see how your P&L breaks down... is the majority of performance from oil, FX or equities ?

I'm up a bit, nothing earth shattering, 6 trades in total. Probably done for the day.

EURCHF is motoring at the moment...

I find it handy to have news on in the background... it's always going to have an impact, especially stuff like surprise rate cuts...

Greek bank headlines helping the Dax right now

You trade the Dax denominated in USD ?

Yes I'm no options expert, the trick is choosing the strike (I chose ITM) and the hard part is taking profit... watch the Dax go to 11800 now.... I traded a couple of my regular stocks (miners, 4 BLT trades, 1 AAL) this morning for a profit. Nothing huge just grinding away. Good luck with the...

Hi, after talking about the Dax & options, I bought an 11450 call earlier, closed for a modest profit, very little stress, although the spreads are a tad wide.

I really enjoyed Niederhoffer's book 'Education of a Speculator', a definite must read imo. But his ego does come across as rather... well... huge...

I remember in the Schwager book that the 'system' the Turtles used was basically buying new highs/selling new lows. I reckon that still works, look at some of the Nasdaq stocks over the last few months.

What evidence do you have that it has stopped working ?
