    Larry Williams trading style

    I'm not a big Williams fan either...buuuuutttt, I can't ignore the facts either. His 11,376% will probably never be matched in our lifetime, and his daughters 1997 win of 1000% puts her at 3rd. Why did she do so well? Does daddy know something? Hmmmm... 2001: David Cash 53% 2000...

    Ralph Vince's computerized betting game

    Yea, that's what I felt, too. I think 50 bucks or less would have been more like it.

    Thanks alain, good article. Here's the link to Dr. Tharps web site. You can download a demo of his money management game. You have to give a little info first, but it's worth the hassle. www.iitm.com/

    I hate those trend days.

    Yea, I noticed the people on the Ensign web site call them slingshots. I've always called them retracements or pullbacks.

    I just had several good retracement setups. What time period are you using?

    Trading Schools are a waste of $$$$

    About six or seven years ago I paid $2000 for a five day seminar with George Lane. I have no regrets. I was so ignorant about this business. I had no idea what software to use. What data? What time period I should use? Was I looking at stochastics the way I should? (in case you don't know who...

    Trading Schools are a waste of $$$$

    That's an interesting topic. I wonder though, maybe there's another factor to consider. Take Mark Cook for example, he has a proven track record and was already wealthy before he started teaching and doing seminars. Maybe it's an ego trip. Maybe he gets a thrill out of people wanting his...

    50 week MA Test

    Here's something that's kind of interesting. Don't know if it's legit or not, but outperforms buy and hold: To buttress the case for reality, twice a year for the last decade, we have presented the case for market timing using a "system" discovered by market historian Yale Hirsch years...

    Winning percentage

    Yea, I think that's the concept a lot of these guys are missing. They think they need to be right 90% of the time to make money. That's why I always tell them to strive for a 3 to 1 profit/loss ratio. Hell, you can have a 35% success rate and still make a bucket load.

    You guys shouldn't be posting stuff like this. You're turning this forum into a joke. Here's a few quotes from someone who really makes a living trading. Hope this helps. "When I daytrade the SP, the smallest movement I am interested in is one where I can select spots to limit losses to...

    Any guy making money using risk/reward ratio >1?

    Okay guys...I'm going to end my argument with a few quotes from Victor Sperandeo. If you think you know more about this business than he does-so be it. "When I daytrade the SP, the smallest movement I am interested in is one where I can select spots to limit losses to between three...

    Well, I have to admit, that's the best damn system I've ever seen. :cool:

    Any guy making money using risk/reward ratio >1?

    I know what you're saying bung, and I can appreciate that. But, think about it. When his daughter got old enough to trade, she won the damn cup,too. Just luck? I doubt it... I think daddy knows what he's doing.
