    Emotional traits of the best traders

    OK... 1. I'll randomly pick a market. 2. You use your psychology and tell me whether to Buy/Sell. 3. Make money. Show me what 100% psychology is.

    Emotional traits of the best traders

    1. Are you suggesting that, "If you think like one, you act like one"? If so, think like Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, I'll play like them? 2. I don't get your Turtle example... You have 10 traders trading a Trend-following system. >>> The performance varied. >>> ??? >>> Factor =...

    Emotional traits of the best traders

    A person's character or emotional trait has nothing to do with a person's success. Seriously... All these psychology books and ideas are messing with people's head too much. It's actually sad how newbies waste their time on these BS, when they should studying the markets.

    Need Advice, Developing Shorting for Automated Trading system

    Seriously... You don't provide enough information. Which market? What kind of strategy? Does your system rely on specific order type like Limit, Stop, Market etc. etc.? Timeframe? Duration? Test dataset? etc. etc.

    I'll add another thing: 1. I've never met Mark Brown in person. Never called the dude or talked to him on the phone. The first interaction I had with him was in Omega-List right before I moved from LA (as a discretionary prop. trader) to Chicago (though, initially unintended, a systematic...

    Serious reply... A typical hedge fund charges 1-10 these days or 2-20 a while back... What would be the difference between hedge funds and me looking for a firm that would implement my system? What kind of a hedge fund would require the investor to do their IT work for them? There's...

    Price of an algorithm for automated trading.

    You're exactly correct. 1. I only expect a model to work for a little while. 2. 10K with 20% payout sucks. I had to start somewhere as a systematic trader / developer and that's where I started. Though, that's the reality I was provided with and I took it. No hard feelings. 3. I...

    Adding to the previous post... - While it lasted, the performance is better than the xls I posted because of the slippage I put in it. (Exiting all trades 1 tick negative of the open of the next bar) - It doesn't work now. Luckily, system downfall was a gradual process so I didn't get a...

    I wrote about getting help from Mark Brown and based on his advice, the attached recap is what I developed. Unfortunately, I can't provide the actual record of trades that the client did. It was first written in Tradestation and I had the code left in my CD archive so I pulled out the code and...

    I believe it to be true because: 1. It's Mark Brown. You're talking about a living legend, here. He's well connected in Chicago especially with the top funds and private trading firms. You can't buy reputation and a track record. Personally, I used to follow his posts in Chuck's site for...
