I know quite a bit about it. Tweaking strategies is one of my greatest strengths.

Yeh....bet big on that scenario....put it all! Let me know your trades, I'll gladly take the other side! Long Bonds, short S&P are no brainers. FYI, that's the way I played the Coup today, worked very well, made up for my shitty play on bonds after the number this morning.

He probably pays 10% in taxes...we would all be great philanthropists if we had that deal.

Do you really have nothing better to do then play with excel and try to create an urban legend?

Thks for the article cat. An interesting read. I don't see him as burnt out, just the opposite in fact. Recognizing the writing on the wall and changing his approach to continue to deliver the numbers. His active role is what I found really interesting, delivering 15% of the numbers...

WTF are you talking about....do you know what die mean?

no

Tell more about the MM system you found where there is an inverse relationship between reward:risk. What's this a reverse martingale...that is adding to your winners and a trailing stop? Pairs trading where I keep adding to my position, and looking to get greater targets with each add?

This contest, this challenge by Austin is a joke, IMO. First, the contest takes place during a time of year that has a strong tendency to trend, thus favoring your system. Second, the way I see it, If you suck as a trader, or are a low cap trader, you won't have the money to compete, if you...

Worst day in a long time....nothing seemed to work, which still has me wondering, WTF? Down 21k today, puts me down 3k on the month...Well, at least there are 16 trading days to make it back! So lets see some blotters...who got my money? :)

What's a crack spread? Better question, what does it mean? Long VLO and wondering when it will bounce. :)

I had to have a stand made to accomidate the 24", I called Moview, they made a few changes and shipped it out with a week or so. They made the arms a little longer, and were reasonably priced.

There is a seperate computer for each system traded, my main screens have one machine, my futures screen one machine, my charting one machine, two monitors. The rest our one machine per monitor, each running a different strategy.

As many as it takes, quit acting like a know it all hot shot, respect is earned! Do you know what a cliche' really is? If you really thought you had a good idea for scalping you wouldn't come on here and put it out there for 50k traders to look at and play with tomorrow morning. There is...

Very true....the great thing about trading is we always have tomorrow. You've got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get em' next time.

If you've made money then why would you want to backtest it....or worse yet...reveal to the masses something you're doing to make money. That type of strategy can be arbed very quickly as there are only x contracts that can be traded before liquidity becomes a problem. Then again, you probably...

You don't need to code this to test it...if you think it works, you've probably looked at a few charts. Well....take a look at the last weeks worth of data, and see if it looks promising. Then pick another week at random, and look at it again. Then watch it in real time for a few days, if it...

I show a 97% win rate with this system. If you are willing to risk 10,000 and are looking to make 2 ticks, is that what you had in mind? Seriously, What are we pegging the change to? The close of the previous bar, open of current bar, mid of last bar? More info is needed to develop...

I have 12....and use them all. Generally, each system/strategy requires one machine and one monitor, I use 3 screens as my main trading, 1 for futures. Two for charting and analysis, a laptop for signals and chatting. One for news, music, and Squawk. 4 for my systems. I'd like to have more...

Nice work today, guys! So nasdaqkiller is going to pass muster, he's really legit? Congrats and welcome to the thread! Well, despite having a few positions blow up on me, mainly in the oil patch, I still managed to eek out $3800. Forgot the blotter! Keep up the good trading guys....and...
