Thanks garachen and ofthomas. I believe every word of what you say. Your success is truly astounding. I am not sure if other accomplished successful traders also achieve this kind of success. Maybe they do, I don't know.

The figure you are quoting is using manual trading? 21 trading days a month means 21k return on 25k invesment for 84% monthly return? 20-30% month manually is maybe understandable but 84% monthly?? Sounds too hard to believe unless you are quoting this figure for hft strategies. EDIT: Btw...

bought this add at 44.75

can you please post a screenshot. Thank You.

You sound like Jim Rogers :) LOL Everything you have written is correct. However, there are 2 facts that are more important than everything you wrote taken together for short term trading: 1) Never fight the fed 2) This bull post 2009 and including the current market has been re-inflation...

Yes, it does seem very plausible to me. Also thanks for asking that question of top 5 historical returns. I was beginning to think that everyday we are going up and maybe its not sustainable and we will correct 30-50 points. But now I will be buying if a slight correction happens.

So it seems someone agrees with my hypothesis and my hypothesis does seem to have a little bit of validity :) Based on above argument, it seems that Russel 2000/3000 companies will more closely mirror what is happening locally in the US market.

just wanted to add one point here. America has tens of millions of workers making say 30-40-50k a year. I don't know the data but say American average income for workers has stayed the same over last 5 years or maybe has declined by 5%. India and China has hundreds of millions of workers...

If experienced people chime in with their stories, this thread has a great potential to become one of very good threads on ET. Even though you are just quoting theory and not sharing personal experience, but above point is very true. Cheers.

Just wanted everyone to take note that the low established during April when twitter hacked news of AP feed citing explosions in white house came did not get re-visited. Now, my opinion about such flash crash lows has completely changed. Now, I think that in a clear bull market, if you have a...

Yes, only thing this simple exercise did for me was that - it put my head back in perspective. I was thinking this market is going up everyday, needs to come down. But now I am much more amenable to this idea that we might go up a lot more! So, good to keep head in balance and have some...

Thanks. We started 2013 at 1462. Today value = 1650. So, runup = 12.85%. Looking at historical close-open %ages, we are nowhere near extreme. If fed doesn't ends its various programs and we have a 20% year, then we are looking at atleast another 110 (1760) points from here!!!

LOL. Your prediction of yesterday having a big trend towards 50 was so on the mark :) Adding more at 47.5. We are going to correct soon.

Left click on top left corner of excel above File. Go to excel options, then go to Customize Ribbon, Click on Developer. You will have developer tab added to your excel menu.

Thanks for the link Josef. I have been primarily a futures trader, just trying to get started in equities. So I appreciate any help.

What is the best datasource for historical lists of S&P500, NASDAQ100 constituents? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S%26P_500_companies link shows current S&P500 constituents. Also, there is another table in the bottom named : "Recent changes to the list of S&P 500 Components"...

N. Korea - LOL. Anyways, here is my response: 1) "NO HFT firm.......???" Really, NONE? What is one wrote an algorithm that included this part? Answer: Algos that are trying to spoof by displaying large size operate on single names not on indices. Also, spoofing happens really fast, the size...

Agree on para #1. 1-2 years back I used to post some FX trades on daals journal. Surprisingly, I think I had a 90% win rate on the trades I posted there - the reason was I wanted to post my best trades in that journal since it was all about macro themes and I was posting short term trades. So...

Anyways before our troll emg posts more garbage on this thread and destroys it, here is my theory: Today's size was different from the size of few months ago. Few months ago, that size was at a key level (150 in spy) and its presence could be due to hedging some one-touch option, or spy-ES...
