No worries, buddy. Respond whenever you get time. I am just curious because I find your approach very intriguing. :)

any news - why this sudden sell off? pretty fast

HAHA. lol. buddy, we agree on a lot of things. I actually started a whole thread on this. FYI, http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=258804

Hey Lespaulr0cker, Do you have some comments on this post and the 2 graphs that I attached yesterday. Since you are obviously successful doing 3-4 tick scalping on ES, I am pretty curious to hear your thoughts.

Yup true. Thank You! Been at this game for 4+ yrs now, but I still get stressed when faced with the possibility of taking a large loser. Even though I should just concentrate on trading the long-run expectations and not worry about trade-to-trade result. Probably, I need a year or two more to...

I sold at 1518.25 and am flat now. This was looking like an ugly trade, but managed to be flat for basically no gain no loss.

closed the 2 adds at 1517.5 still keeping the original long open, looking to close and get flat around 1518.5

looking like we are going to keep selling

Add 1516 offering at 1518, 1519 to get flat

Added 1517.5

long 1519.25

very interesting. Lets see who wins. I don't know much about Herbalife but choosing between Carl Icahn and Ackman, my vote goes to Icahn.

Not keeping a definite track of it. But it is around 4% currently. So, 2% booked PL and 4% unrealized loss as of now. Moreover, 90% of my regular trading is just either all-in,all-out or just 1 scale-in and then scale-out. This thread is more like an experiment for me at trading longer...

same 4 tick profit target strategy for 2010, 2011 and 2012. What a smooth and nice performance in 2010 and again in 2012, but 2011 screwed it like anything. Admittedly your strategy could be way better than what I have been able to gobble up together. But I have only find those kinds of...

one illustration of a 4 tick strategy in 2012. couple big losses but still nicely profitable for the whole year

regarding your 2-4 tick scalp trades, 1) for how long you have been doing them? 2) do you have backtested history for such kinds of trades for a long time period? if yes, how far back have you tested these kinds of trades. Reason I ask is because I have tried to construct such 4 tick...

I think (not too sure) all such data for last 10 years can be found in CRSP database, which is typically available in all major universities business school libraries. http://www.crsp.com/products/index.html

so buddy how much total available capital do you have at your disposal now to allocate to traders? And how much have you allocated already till now.

covered 0.25% risk at 92.7 from 93.5 for a profit of 0.2%. So, total booked profit = 1.73% + 0.2% = 1.93% Bidding 0.25% risk at 92.2 and 92. Offering 0.25% risk at 93.5 and 94. I had hoped this trade to be a quick fade the parabola trade. However, now this trade has become a long drawn...
