bla bla bla. Hypo has proven Jack's stuff doesn't backtest well. Bigg whoopie doo. OK go back to your regular satire and gloating schedule now.

Hey steve, I appreciate your massive contribution on ET. I guess there was a moment, when you decided to do so, and thats great. I love "in-n-out" too, you in Cali?

No. They are indexed against inflation. You're not trying to beat Fed Rates, you're trying to beat inflation.

Actually, you're worse because Jack actually tries to contribute some specific material (although it might be arhaic BS) but at least he tries. You on the other hand don't even try. "Stangely enough, I am in accidentally in a Jack trade now in NQ, a VDU/inside bar/BO. But for different...

hypo... i wont argue - you probably know more than i do. but what have you shared on ET that works? What? Tell me one thing. So get off your moral high-horse. You're not much better than Jack in terms of contribution to ET.

Hypostomus has not contributed any trading ideas on ET and he will not, because that's how he is. The only purpose of this thread by him was to ridicule Jack, not actually offer any positive contributions.

I dont think there's "market risk" in TIPS. The return is fixed at a certain rate + inflation. The only two problems that I see with TIPS are (as mentioned by others before): 1) Tax implications are not attractive 2) The inflation index used by the govt. to adjust for inflation does not...

swoop, I humbly believe you are mistaken: Like was pointed out before commodities have significant fluctuations in their own right and thus do not make a good hedge against inflation. For example, lets say gold is at $300 in 1980. In 1990 it's at $150. The market forces in the gold market...

Respect the power of PMS. ES, you sound kind of like that when you cite a concept but you admit you dont know how to apply it :) Regarding as to why good mechanical systems seem to work in the ES for a few months and then break down.... Easy - "market conditions" change and the system does...

Haha dummies. You're just pissed I Made you look. Anyhow, "high probability" means high winning %, OK? Get it? "Low-risk" means your stop is small compared to something... Now.. compared to what? Use your brain now... COmpared to average profit. So that means a high Avg. Win / Avg. Loss...

Haha, made you look! Anyhow, how often have you heard this cliche "High Probability Low-Risk Set Ups". Let me expose the BS in it. Mathematically.... If you have a high win%, you're NOT going to have a high avg. win/avg. loss ratio. Vica Versa, if you have a fat avg. win/avg. loss ratio - you're...

OK, what if I live "globally", citizen of the world or whatever.

I agree, TrendFader. Any commodity, such as gold has two components of price movement: "real" price movement and inflation-based price movement. Any commodity that has significant real price movement is not a good hedge for inflation. Thank you for suggesting TIPS, any other safe ways to hedge...

So you think that if the dollar takes a 30% hit against other currencies but I live in US and earn rates that beat inflation.... that shouldnt bother me? Hmm, interesting viewpoint.

who thinks this guy just wanted to share the wonders of whatever bands here and who thinks he's looking to sell more copies of his blabla software? consider this a poll.

and by the way I thought you left ET?

candle, you know what. this applies not only to you but to all "consistently proftiable" traders here. just because you are at that level, dont think that you're "all that". your excrements smell just as bad as those of "non-consistent losing traders". Anyhow, I've never seen you extend a hand...

This is just some general blabbering. If you were to take a position at some point on the chart. Your profit target would equal your stop and would be X points away from your where you were filled. So the "risk / reward" ratio would be 1:1. Would you be able to have more then 50% winning trades...

OK, let's see here. We have US dollar cash - say $100K. We're trying to merely preserve this chunk of cash by protecting it from certain pressures, correct? The major pressures that I see are: inflation and foreign exchange rates. Anyone see any other "pressures"? So we need to protect...

OK. If I got $100K and I put $50K in cash, like cold cash. And $50K in some gold instrument (not leveraged). Would that effectively make me neutral towards dollar vs. gold movement? Would that make me neutral towards inflation? How can I put together a very simple portfolio that would make me...
