sorry, didn't see your message before. Thanks for the tip!!! I am not going to scrap newsfeed at the moment. My aim currently is to scrap some data on stocks from yahoo/google finance finviz and other interesting sites and see if I can make any sense of them.

Classic!!! :D :D :D :D New guy - you are writing out things that are correct and generally accepted - e.g. if you can get your weekly grocery for 80$ at a store that is 2 mile from your house Vs spending 110$ at a store next door, you drive 2 miles and get it from there. Unfortunately...

Yup, thanks for that reasoning. Makes sense.

in your experience one stock like ksu - can it impact the index move? I guess had it been AAPL, maybe it would. But KSU - would it? Curious.

I have booked partial on my morning long trade. still holding the other ones hoping to get 1516 and 1518. My time out window is 2pm. If nothing happens by then I will close and call it a day. NQ is super strong today, my guess is that it will pull along ES as well.

For the first time, I have seen your backtested results. Every other time you posted them on other threads, when I clicked on attachment it used to say some kind of "double header error". Looks v.good. Who did you use as your data provider for last 10 yrs?

Great that you posted that attachment and explained yourself. It is a fact that most of the developers are generally not traders. And even if they trade on side, most likely they are hobby traders. So, they might be trying to improve things, however inadvertently end up making things worse...

not looking very convincing for longs

so how is dvoluvol looking now ammo? To me it looks like we will see 1518-1520 today. I am long - so could be biased. But I can give only 25% probability of selling off from here.

seems we are going to see 1518 today. I lost 4 pts yesterday :( Today, I am long from 1509 - position looking good as of now.

I saw the joke - I was also joking responding to you :) You have created vivid imagery with your words on middle aged men. I will just change it to old age bearded people (re: jim simons/george soros lol)

Short order at 93 filled for 0.25% risk. Bidding 92.2 on this.

LOL.... Buddy, these are my closed profits, I am sitting on unrealized losses :) Btw, I agree that Gods of international finance do read ET. I am not one of them. LOL. Actually, on IB datafeed, max = 94.065. Yahoo data can be off by a few pips here or there.

Closed 0.5% risk at 93 for profit = 0.375% and 0.25% risk at 92.5 for profit = 0.3125% So, total profit on these 2 transactions = 0.6875% So, total profit booked till now = 0.85%+0.6875% = 1.5315% Lets round it off to 1.53%. EDIT: So, now we have new orders to short at 93...

Had already closed yesterday 0.25% risk from 94 add at 93.2 (instead of 92.8 as planned above). Today, closed 0.25% risk from 93.5 add at 92.5 as planned above. So, booked profit = 0.25% ALSO, closed 0.25% risk from 93 add at 92.2 for 0.2% profit. Total booked profit till now = 0.4% +...

Great - I always thought your model has great potential. It will trounce all those fund of funds at least for small amount of money.

THANK YOU!!!

No, not interested in starting another thread. I thought having a nice conversation with you will probably lessen the enmity that we share :) Anyways, I think I succeeded in bringing to fore my main issues with BMT. If Big Mike improves on those aspects, it will be better for all the forum...

Hi Greetings! Feel sorry for you. Lescor on this site proved it. Marty Schwartz proved it. Institutions prove it all the time e.g. RenTech, Citadel. So, your claim is incorrect. Anyways, I think it is a wise decision that you have taken. I also think this thread of you will not impact...

Its more than that. Its a test of IQ, persistence, emotional control. OP claims - he has above average IQ, devoting 6 yrs while turning down opportunities in law is persistence. So, I guess OP was close to making it. Probably he just did not make the cut. I agree with OP that nothing...
