    Get a new copy of WL. It's rare but sometimes there are bad cds. And if the error still occurs, it's probably a compatibility problem.

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    I don't think these example numbers have anything to do with Quadriga. I think lsudaytrade was just trying to understand how the percentages worked. Your assets are calculated at the end of each month and the percentages gain/loss for each month are based on your assets from the...

    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    lsudaytrade, Your calculations are correct. If Sample Fund AAA starts with 100k Makes 100k and goes up to 200k in 2003 Loses 100k and goes down to 100k in 2004 2003 +100% 2004 -50% The percentages are base on NAV. Even though the fund lost 100k, it lost a smaller percent since it...

    Which % return is true?

    I would think your percent gain is based on the amount of money you have in your account. If you have a $500 account and make 1 ES point on 1 contract then you have made $50 which is a 10% gain. If you have a $5000 account and make 1 ES point on 1 contract then you have made $50 which...

    The truth, I'll prove it

    I agree, with commissions it's negative sum game like what Alexander Elder said in his book Trading for a Living. That still doesn't remove the fact that all this money being lost is going to some winners besides the brokers.

    Mark Douglas vs Van Tharp

    Mark Douglas 2nd book (Trading in the Zone) was well written. His first book was not as good. He writing style was not as organized. Van Tharps first book (Trade your Way to Financial Freedom) was great. His second book was not as good. This was just a attempt to get a book out from the...

    The truth, I'll prove it

    Trading is a zero-sum game. If someone is losing money, someone on the opposite side of the trade is making money. Just because you believe something is true doesn't make it true. Tony Oz did post some of this trading statements on ET if you use the search feature. Good Luck!

    stocks: fade breakout on first day?

    Fading a breakout on the first day may be risky. If you wait for the breakout to fail and short it with the stop over the breakout point, it may be profitable. An example of this would be the 2B pattern which was discussed before.

    Has anyone noticed that IB TWS has a book trader?

    That came out a few weeks while ago. It was buggy and there were some reports of crashing which was fixed in the latest version. You must've missed the threads where people were whining about it.
