From realtick: CME Globex data - CME reports they will not reopen for trade date May 1, 2003 Doh

Only problem is, it takes live trading to get as objective and stress free as you were on paper :D peace axeman

Nice thread. One thing it has convinced me to do, is to generate several sets of random data and run it through my back testing. Then compare the charts and graphs I pump out of my historical results of real data vs random data. I will expect a loss with the random data, due to...

Yup...and it should be taken seriously. People who ignore the pain can cause serious damage, which can travel all the way up your arm. If you have pain, SOLVE THE PROBLEM, or you could start losing the use of your limbs. No joke. peace axeman

I use to get pain from using a regular mouse too much. I switched to a, ergo trackball mouse with the buttons on the side. I use my thumb on the mian button. Switching to an ergo keyboard also helped. Pain free for years now. I key and mouse 12+ hours a day. peace axeman

Well, that IS the question. At what point do you decide the market is in crash mode? How do you determine this, and can you catch it early enough to minimize the damage? peace axeman

Indicators are like your speedometer and RPM dials in your car. If you cant drive, your gonna crash and burn. They cant help you. If you can drive, and do nothing but stare at them, your gonna crash and burn anyway. Keep your eyes on the road :D You can drive fine without...

Ok... so this record dropping day keeps skewing my backtesting. What was the cause/trigger for this day? What were the clues NOT to trade this day? How many times did you have to get hit before you stopped trying to go long this day? I have one Emini system that only goes long, and...
