I completely agree with you that it seems hard to believe that anyone can double his account every 10 weeks .....that will mean 2^5 = 32 times account in a year. But I cannot and must not disbelieve the backtesting results that I see. I admit at times even I go through the process of disbelieve...

Dom993 and ShanB, I had tough time to type this out but finally I decided to do it. I lost more than 70k to the markets over the last 3 yrs when I was learning the craft, and had larger amounts of capital available. Now when I have finally learnt and have a solid trading plan in place, sad...

Update for week 4 ending Apr 20, 2012 : +100$ for the week. Was doing well till Thursday, had 3 bad trades in a row on Friday. For the 4th trade, I was short on ES on Friday and was planning to keep it till the end of day, that trade would have made 300$, but bailed out of it because account...

AUD is a pretty interesting beast. When it starts to go down, it is a beauty. And frankly one doesn't need a huge amount of fundamental analysis to profit from the opportunity. You can do it in a very technical way also. When AUD starts to fall, it falls fast and shorting after a big down candle...

it seems you were correct ??!!!

No worries on 1.19 part :) As far as carry is concerned, admit its not much and I do expect trade to work out within 2-3 months. But let us say trade takes 6 months to work out, you would be paying 0.5% carry, if you are trading for an institution fine....but if you are running your own...

I am serious....is there a miscommunication here ?.....i wrote stop being 120 pips away from entry long.

Thank you very much.

not so sure of that...I think we are going down a minimum of 15 points from here....just a hunch....no rationale reason

that was not the intention but LOL :)

what is the current HOD? Anyone thanks

yes market is not showing its hand at all. I have a tentative short order at 1384.25. let us see if we get close.

+1+1 Till the time floor breaks, risk is skewed to the upside, long 1.2020 with a stop at 1.19 and profit at 1.25/1.30. R:R of 1:5 or 1:10. Also, have a sell stop at 1.19, in case floor breaches decisively, it makes sense to short it with a stop at 1.2050 say. Its a fools game to short the...

which platform, which broker - retail or institutional price feed?

We had this little discussion on utility of classic trading books. I hope Martin is taking note.

Mate, Alright I am a troll :) But the point is you still didn't answer specific questions. Why shy away from disclosing your PF and Sharpe when you feel free to harp on your IBanking experience, as you have done again in your post above. LOL. Do you think readers are stupid. LOL. Btw, I...

First, I am not making false accusations, I will copy paste in this message and prove it, will also point out where you evaded in-detail discussion. I have already said in an earlier post of mine that on MLearning and naive data-fitting, we are on the same page. My issue with you is that you...

closed my trade at 1372.25

ET superslow today. I saw your 3:11 message now at 3:32. You were correct. Myself currently long from 1369.5 Edit: Also ET clock is 5 min behind my computer clock. Mods please correct. Thanks

stopped , lost 3 pts on this, captured 2 pts on a bounce from 66 to 68. Rationale was simple - was trying to capture impending bounce, but was early. Infact I was short from 1375 that I covered at 1371.5 and went long there for a bounce. Turned out to be a wrong decision :)
