Thanks for the question Chris. I personally don't have any kind of in house vol filter, although I can see that it might be useful. I could have used such a thing a few weeks ago to turn off some ES strategies. :( I'm not sure off hand how many of my personal strategies use volatility...

Thanks for question, I don't want to hijack this thread, so I moved your question here: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/anyone-here-took-daveys-course.317280/ Thanks!

This is from a different thread. I moved it to here to not hijack the other thread... Thanks for question, I appreciate it. Currently I trade around 80 strategies. For many of them, if you traded them individually, you'd probably want $10-20K in your account. But the neat thing is, because...

This is why winning percentage is really meaningless (although psychologically could be useful), and expectancy is the important calculation. Like others, I have had systems with < 25% wins that do great, and systems with >90% wins that cost me a bunch.

I'm glad Maverick74 replied here, and I hope Bone does too. This should get very educational, very quickly... in fact, after one succinct reply, it already has...

Do you own your copy of Ninja? If you bought it before NT Brokerage, you can use it with many brokers...

Thanks. It is too bad you can't have 2 divisions - one real money accounts, one not. Or maybe your ranking system should give bonus points to real money accounts. Its the old saying - I know a ton a SIM trading millionaires, but only a few real trading millionaires... Thanks!

Hi Peter - Is your contest with real money?

Problem is that MC doesn't allow license transfer. https://www.multicharts.com/discussion/viewtopic.php?t=7124

Agree! Scared the bejeebers out of me. I told Tradestation, and they said they'd talk to news release people - assuming they are still employed tomorrow morning. It did not help that at the same time of the release, their platform data became extremely slowwww...

Tradestation only banned trading with DAY trading margins. If you have full margin, you can still trade. From Tradestation: "TradeStation has not banned overnight trading in futures. Day trade rates were suspended and full margin will be required for contacts to be traded overnight." Still...

Tradestation will tell you the only way to ensure no hacking is by putting the strategy up on their App Store. I've never heard of App Store hacking, but I'm sure someone could do it, if they really wanted to. Tradestation protected code can be hacked, and there are sites on the Internet that...

Be careful. Maybe you think there is a leak in the hull, because you found water in your boat. But maybe the water in the bottom of your boat just came from a freak wave, and your hull is fine. Hard to tell after only one month.

If you did a backtest with continuous futures contracts, it is really necessary to roll when your data provider rolls. Otherwise, your backtest results will be different than your live results. I use Tradestation, and I have things set up so that I know when they roll the continuous...

FWIW,I use $70 per round trip for slippage in Coffee, trading one contract. This is based on both on analytical study, and real world results.

Hi Bone - Thanks for the kind words. Seems like ages ago we shared lunch (Olive Garden?) in the middle of some Indiana cornfields. I remember having a great discussion about trading, markets, etc. Even though we have completely different trading approaches, it was fun swapping stories with...

It might look suspicious, having a brand new user make his first post about my course, but this morning I did ask some students to share their experience - good or bad - with the Elite Trader community. So, I can confirm the above person is real, and did take the course. (There is a another...

Hi qlai - I am here, and am happy to answer questions traders might have. Might be best to set up separate thread for questions for me, and leave this one for any ET student members who want to comment. Kevin

Thanks for the comment, and thanks for listening to it. This webinar is not about an overall trading plan - identify an edge, etc. I totally agree with you about the need for that kind of plan, in addition. This webinar is more about "what can you do in the next year to reach your goals" given...

For those of you who missed it, this webinar recording is now available on YouTube. Any "thumbs up" are appreciated!
