The hilarious part is they would have got away with it if the homeless vet who pocketed $75,000 did not sue in court for his "fair share". Can't make this stuff up! lol

The new brain trust of the House Democrats.

Valid considerations. The bottom line is there are multiple ways to trade the market. Each has pros and cons. I have my reasons for trading intra-day futures and am at a point now (no "day job") where I can properly focus on this style of trading.

Here are some points for you to consider. - Stocks and thus stock index futures have an upward bias. - Intra-day strategies can trade in the direction of the Daily or Weekly trend. - A strategy at a lower time frame (i.e. 30 min) can decrease the time in the market, thus more efficiently...

A single trading system that generates 50% per year for three years is likely tuned to a particular market condition and will likely fall apart when market conditions change. That being said what if instead you had a collection of trading systems for various market regimes and all of the...

Forget Jerry Brown. Jello Biafra for President!!

Forget the audio. Try and code a strategy with: order flow trend detector SMA of volume EMA of close so maybe your strategy would look something like this (pseudo code with up parameters/values): var orderFlowTrendDetector = orderFlowTrendDector(); var smaVolume = sma(volume, 10); var...

What chart indicators are you using to visually determine the volume surge preceding the price surge?

Hope is not lost for the youths. I know a guy from high school who showed up for his school year book picture dressed and groomed as Hitler. He is now a local politician. Edited: After further research, he is facing a murder charge in a stand your ground case. Good luck with that photo boys!

Yes. I am using typical indicators among other things. What I do not currently support with my platform is optimizing parameters of a given strategy once it is created (will add that soon). So re-calibrating strategies will involve coming up with a potential brand new group of strategies for...

The case I am arguing for is that new model parameters are really entirely new strategies. My intention is to periodically re-calibrate and select the "best of breed" strategies to trade for the next given period of time. This process would need to be included in the back test. I have not...

Yes. That is exactly it! If one plans on re-calibrating models going forward, the re-calibration needs to be included in the backtest. Enjoy your vacation!

What is your ultimate goal? Just to get a very good return on investment for your friend?

Another alternative is to invest the money with a CTA or something similar. For example, I know a guy from this site who runs this fund: http://forexgridsystems.com/ Might be something worth considering.

This is a losing scenario. Your yearly costs are $6000 with an AUM of only $20,000 which is 30% of your capital! This means you have to make 30% return just to break even. Perhaps try swing trading where you can use EOD data and your costs will only be commissions.

If you are able to write code, you are better off spending the time to come up with your own systems/algos to trade.

Are you able to write code?

I would not buy a pre-packaged strategy, especially one that will be executed by the vendor. Each new subscriber of the strategy will diminish its edge...assuming it has an edge to begin with.

Does not look like that is happening. Looks more like close to a DEM wipe out in FL though I believe they picked up a House seat.
