Trend-following is still in my portfolio of strategies.

That's why I have a job now. It is happening and firms are realizing it. Big guys want both good discretionary trader and good quant. The problem is they cant communicate with each other. Also, both schools of trading has its flaw. So they look for a person who can do both. And it's...

I'm going there as a Quant. Simply, I'll be researching Japanese markets, developing trading models/systems for them... so I'm going to be developing new fund classes for the firm. That'll be my job. No big deal. Anyways, it seems like you're doing the opposite of me, me being from...

I'm fluent in Japanese so I won't have a problem. I'm actually a Japanese brought up in the US. Hard working isn't a problem, too. I have no problem working 16 hour days, I've had a hectic schedule in Chicago. How sophisticated are the traders in Japan? Australians were behind like 10...

I'm going to Japan for a contract position as a Quant. Can anyone share any experiences or any useful information? I'm very curious about how different the business is compared to the US. Thanks in advance.

Hey!!! Cooking is a real job!!! You have q problem with chefs? I'm done with my job in Sydney and I have another contract position in Japan so I'll be in Tokyo, Japan next week.

ROFL!!!!:eek: :D :D :D

I have a system that I made 5 years ago, that returns 195% every month using the Cash Index data. The result is tested under 20 years data of 5min. bar for the S&P Cash. No losing month... 78% of the days are winners. All orders are stop orders and entry signals are processed on the...

I vote Resinate for prez.!!!

How about number "2"? High / Low Up / Down Buy / Sell Win / Loss Then what about "4"? Open / High / Low / Close ... .... ..... ...... ....... Who else is delusional ?

Yeah... it was a great game... The Cubans played extremely well too. I loved the scene when Cubans were smiling, asking for a photo with Ichiro. I can see that they play the game because they love it... unlike the US team who's swinging their big egos.

Wooohoooo! JAPAN RULES!!!!

Why won't all the mods from other forums help him out.

I don't trade anything under 1.75. But this really depends... For example, I would trade a 1.8, if the system is high frequency. Wouldn't if it's low frequency. The weight of the risk is higher on low frequency (like trend-following) so I look for a higher measure. But it comes down...

I actually had a hard time(it's normal) starting in Chicago. Just ask the guys in the Chicago thread in Hook up... Previous to Chicago, I was a prop. trader in Los Angeles, trading using discretion, for about 7 years. I taught myself to program in Tradestation and WealthLab to get into...

It's Cuba vs Japan. Just like trading... Strongest(smartest) don't lead to winning. It's only an edge. :)

Bwahahahaha!!! US sucks!!! It's great to be 1/2 Korean, 1/2 Japanese!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

What was the slippage and/or commission that was setup on this system? What type of orders? (Limit, Stop, Market) ... I really don't care about theories or who's right/wrong... From my observation, this test seems like it's not tested right to draw the conclusion you have made.

Ask yourself if you were taught or rely on talent... ... Oh wait... no one here is a superior trader, more-so profitable. Too much "He said, she said" crap. And "I think, I hope"

Is this the thread where we talk shit about marketsurfer???? :D
