Please delete. Tired to delete on my own. but am not able to.

I have to laugh. Even here at ET, I have seldom seen more crap. If any of you actually took the time to investigate the curriculum that a professional engineer has to go through you would (I think) feel a little embarrassed about your comments. Engineering is a profession similar to the...

Hey Fletch: I am a mechanical engineer. As of this Christmas I will have been trading for 13 years. I retired at 54 just a couple of months ago. For the last 10 years, I managed a small private fund. I like to see intelligent people arrive. I hope you stay a while. As you can see, the...

Buzz: There are a couple of things that your should be thinking about and unfortunately your not covering the bases. First, you need to put your trade(s) in a context. Is this a "first trade" off the open, or a trade taken in the middle of the morning before lunchtime (NY), or at the end...

A depot is the place where your goods are kept. It is a portfolio of tradeables.

Yes, I am the one who indicated that late entry is a problem. Any time you enter outside your signal or against your signal you have a problem. It the same for me as for anyone else. You have to do what your system says to do, or you will lose. Just my opinion. Steve

I used to hold many more. I was managing a small fund. But I am retired as of a couple months ago. My own portfolio is small as I am mostly in commodities and cash. Frankly I dont understand your optimization process. If you could outline it I might have further comment. Are you using a...

Yes, without a doubt, late entry is a big problem. When you see the signal (if you did your homework) you need to believe it, and then act on it. "he who hesitates is lost" is the old saying. Steve

Hello traders. If your stops are getting hit ("to the tick") it generally means a couple of things as follows: 1. You are placing your stops in obvious places and the big players (and noise) are taking you out. 2. You arent calculating your stops correctly (you havent adjusted for daily...

I haven't used Hank's service. I have talked to him several times however about it. He is knowledgeable about the issues surrounding use of prem/fair value. You can benefit from reading his interviews with folks (available for free on the internet) and this will give you some feel for his level...

So your like just getting that?

One wonders why you dont simply read your brokerage agreement. It spells out your risks (by law it has to). Sounds to me like you have two problems, first you don't have enough experience, so you are anxious. Second, you are probably undercapitalized. Any good professional would suggest...

I think Simon is used to Scandinavian women. Edit: Actually in my "experience" it is German women who appreciate "discipline".:D Maybe you should look into trading the DAX....

Actually I use Kelly criterion to size my own positions. Rather than go into a long disertation I will simply say that to use it effectively you have to be able to characterize the trade in one of two ways; 1. Percentage of risk that you are willing to accept in the form of drawdown 2. The...

You beat the market too, thats fantastic. I expect to beat the crap out of the market tomorrow using the squiggly thing strategy.

Oh my GOD, I will never have to work again. That is it. You have found it (and so have I). This is IT!!!! We are rich, rich, rich!!!! How could anything be more clear than that squiggly thing? I know just what to do know. I will trade that squiggly thing to death. I will beat the...

I understand that Walther was there with them. At 63 he can't do more than watch, but he does like to tuck a couple of dollars into the girls G-Strings now and then. I believe it was part of a field trip from his elder care facility.

I have spent a lot of time in Bonn (lived in the old town near the University). One of the best places in Germany I think.

My current depot is similar to yours. Perhaps we can have a conjunction of depots? By the way, I have been very successful with NO0010096985 Perhaps you will take a moment to describe your home planet. Wish you well in the New Year. Steve

Don: Do your bootcamp students have access to your new technology for trading the open. Thanks, Steve
