Of course it is your business, and I am very grateful that you run it so well, it is far-and-away the best venue for traders, but the general cheeseiness of that ad really offended me. And I wanted the advertiser to know at least somebody here thought it was a lame-assed ad unlikely to draw...

Makes you feel good about yourself, doesn't it, when you make a profit and see how you can make more in the future? You are definitely on the right track with longer, less stressful trades.

OK, PA lovers, a gitf for you (a gitf is a twisted gift). Professor Joe Doaks and I have wearied to the point of mental rictus reading all the laudatory posts on PA. So we whipped up some PA for you. Took me maybe a minute to do the algorithm, and Doaks less than that to code it. We of course...

Yes, Queen Donna, whose beauty is exceeded only by her trading acumen, almost gave Jack a coronary when he met her. She supposedly misinterpreted his response and fainted dead away.

I have the profoundest respect for Donna, but backtesting higher highs and lower lows as entry signals for intrady trades shows that the strategy is a loser. If you want to trade better, learn to backtest. She must be making it work some other way.

What is this shit? http://www.wallstreetwindow.com/twofoldformula.htm I didn't bother to click on it. How deep do you suppose I would have to go to find out that "free" is a come-on for a paid service? Hope they didn't pay much for the ad copy layout: "Maude, get the night janitor to whip...

I am going to guess how you "learned" to trade futures and recommend a different path. Were you using canned indicators? Trying to emulate a supposed expert trader? Winging it with intuitive brilliance? Go back to basics. Subscribe to a data service that also provides backtesting capability...

For nearly ten years I studied first TA, then anti-TA (Hershey), then Doaks TA (anti-Hershey), all for nought, but not at no expense. Then last fall I started dreaming systems that worked. I still dream them. But more and more redheads are taking over again.

How many years have I encouraged you to tune out of the distractions of the Tonal and dream in the pure price awareness of the Nagual? Trade management goes without saying. Dream trading every night (a hard-on is not contra-indicated, and may actually help) and you will see it. But backtest it...

Beyond bullish. African Cape water buffalo-ish. Silver, too. And the lead in bullets. But you want to make sure you keep your lead in physicals. Kinda useless, otherwise.

I think this whole thread has fallen into the trap of being enamoured with scalps and short trades. IMO the low risk money is in catching a big chunk of the day, if it is directional. I have always thought that brokers pay prominent authors sub rosa to advocate frequent trading during the day...

Trade for yourself if you have any of that fat paycheck left. With 50K you can make a decent living. Not enough to spend on blow and whores, but add a working wife to the picture and you have got it made.

You are too kind. The best advice anyone can give him here is to affirm that it is possible starting with an outsider's total lack of trading insight and somehow spin success out of thin air. And also give him examples of what is achievable as he finds his own unique way. Best of luck to you...

When I was about twelve, there was a popular song called "Let's Dance!" We corrupted the clean tean lyrics to "Hey, baby, won't you take a chance? I left my rubbers in my other pants!"

Cybernetics need not be complicated. The term didn't even exist when I went to collich, which tells you how old I am. But one can devise a successful strategy based solely on the inverse of a thermostat. That is the secret of the Doaks ossicator. Doaks is good at optimozing deadbands because he...

Confession is good for the soul, if you have one. You are doing fine. But what advice can you offer the OP? He is an intensely serious and dedicated and likeable guy struggling to perfect strategies that suit his personality. Give him some advice based on your own experience. I am immensely...

Ah yes, Doaks. He is an adjunct associate assistant visiting professor (untenured) of cybernetics and daytrading at the Collin County Community College Paris Texas agricultural extension service. Basically the service he provides is servicing fat rich old ladies who want to get richer trading...

Again, thanks for explaining. In my desperience tailing stops are reperior to rixed stops. But I will give you a big tip: backtested stops beat the shit out of anything else theoretical or empirical or intuitive. Me? An expert? (I read your post before you edited it.) I am an exspurt pretender...

It is a trailing stop strategy based on different ATR (Chandelier_ATR, YoYo_ATR, profit point) and Parabolic_AF and Profit_Switch_Factor and other parameters. you can set different setting for stocks, future and FX (the numbers are quite different from each other) and you can visualize what at...

Have you integrated the LeBeau Stops strategy into your automation? I found it works pretty well and could save substantial pts in NQ in automation. [/B] I use Professor Joe Doaks' stop strategy. It is an unpublished method. Kindly educate a nearly blind wheelchair-bound old man averse to...
