I love threads like this - How much can you make? What do I need to get to XYZ% returns? When does liquidity start to affect my trading? Setting these goals and working towards them is important and it was goals such as this that forced me to consider FOREX as my primary market. Best of luck...

A quote I read/heard recently: "What good is happiness if it can't buy money?" LOL

Not only this, but I work in economic development for the government and there are often cash and tax incentive deals made to attract such factories.

When dealing with timeframes of less than even 300 minute bars (you are at 90 minutes), I have found that simply subtracting a few pips for 'slippage' is not sufficient. My shorter term strategies all use limit and stop orders. These get filled with at times only a few pips to spare... if the...

Waste an edge? That's exactly how to exploit an edge! Every successful trader/investor from Soros to Buffett goes for the 'jugular' when they strongly believe themselves to be correct. If you told me today that for every 50K I put down would = 1mm in a year guaranteed, (if that were possible)...

(I posted this recently on another forum, perhaps this thread is better.) I developed a high frequency currency strategy based on data purchased from Olsen Associates. It works off of the price discovery process inherent in a market with multiple participants. The Olsen data was collected...

About 7% on a scalable strategy. Net taxes this would be around 5%. Worst month is just shy of -7%.

LOL, no problem. For a while I was up late and I would notice you posting and the threads were a nice divergence (think you were trading the Yen or something). Anyway, as for MM... well.. if you told me I'd have 1 mil in a year and no appreciable draw downs, I'd up the position size as much...

Hi Electric, where do these questions come from? :) Sure, I'd double no triple my position sizes so that I would make 3 Million in a year:) Yawn..... I'm off to bed soon. Granville

I developed a high frequency currency strategy based on data purchased from Olsen Associates. It works off of the price discovery process inherent in a market with multiple participants. The Olsen data was collected from about a dozen banks and I have strong evidence to suggest that the strategy...

I'm an 8. In trading I let the computer and systems I design do the trading I can spend hours and hours designing a system....but am bored doing the actual trading...would rather have a people job.

There's a line of thinking that considers ownership of a stock to be equivalent to owning an option on any future cash flows. It is interesting.. wonder if anyone here has experience with it?

They are an FX broker. So my thought is that they might also run a prop firm or be open to the idea.

I've not yet been, but one of my classmates from my MBA program is in Tokyo now and interviewed for a position at Toyo. It sounds like Americans are running it.. but I could be waaaay off too. If so, and if you are profitable, then they would probably figure out a way to get you in.

Toyo FX might have a prop firm. www.toyofx.com

Its like chasing your tail Actually, my thoughts are that if you have a high frequency system that trades a lot, you can implement this approach better than if you are using a longer term strategy. I have looked into how to do this with the longer term systems and one solution has...

Yourself? Actually not a bad comment

Yeah they are. I think I'm going to join their side... of the force.

this is an issue because it makes me wonder what I can 'take away' from the site. I remember a post he made where he said that systems that he developed for multiple markets failed, so they then started building systems around individual markets. This is something I do and am testing them now...

I was wondering how his systems performed after he stopped updating the site. So they did all or mostly fail?
