    A move from XP to Windows 7, not so easy.

    Wow, that's the most ignorant blanket statement I have ever seen. This isn't 1990 anymore come out from under your rock. What was the last Linux distribution you used? There are many options out there which have been tailored to the average home user...

    Don Miller...

    That's what I want to do. Pay someone $10k so I can learn a set of ideas several other traders have already learned. To make perfect sense, it should be pro-rated based on what # you are in line :)

    Can the 'Time Frame' of a trade be determined?

    haha Just crossed this point. Hurst is great, but it's held like the damn holy grail. Makes learning it (and it's finer points) a little more difficult and time-consuming.

    Forex is a scam

    FX is a market that REQUIRES an EDGE. Not your basic TA.

    Trading the Moon

    Planning for a tank after the 14th. Transports could lead the way. Where is Yoohoo???? The guy's a friggin genius. Wish he were around. The one member on ET who made a night and day difference in my trading.

    Forex is a scam

    The question is "why bash your head against the wall trading forex?" Why not trade something easier? Well that's the point. Take the easy route. Nothing wrong with that.

    Forex is a scam

    It's not an entire scam. It's a difficult market to trade. Aside from that what you said is completely true. However, Forex is NOT to be traded like a 24/7 market. The best way to trade it is to only trade during the peak hours (if you want to day-trade it). Trading stocks you can...

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Do you automate all of your trades? Something I wish I had the opportunity to do. I just realized profitable trades are going to need the same kind of management. I have a time-based trailing stop, but not an ultimate exit strategy. Will have to give that some forward testing. I use...

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    That's what started this. Battling time decay on options.

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Now someone assumed I was lying in the first post....what the hell is the point in that? It does me no good to lie. Here's the two equity curves (discretionary trading). The first one is the first account I used (then withdrew). Attempting to "reset" myself I re-opened the account and...

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Thanks again for the replies. The goal with this strategy is to build confidence, prevent from major blow-ups, and REDUCE STRESS. (it's been rough after 5+ losing years and with the 1st positive one i'm still on the bubble here) A little update. Did some rough real time testing--- been...

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Thanks as well. I never even thought about 1/2 of that to be honest. Glad I asked now. THe goal was to keep me out of whipsaws but now you mention it, I may have to use it on profitable trades as well. The idea was to keep the trade as "even" as possible over a period of time IF the...

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Are you dense? Your posts are as useless as the paper I use to wipe my ass. Find something better to do.

    Anyone do any backtesting on "time-based" exits (ie. stops)?

    Was considering incorporating them into my trading. I'm trading profitably so I'm kind of in the attitude "if it aint broke dont fix it". The other side of me is really thinking it could make me a bit more consistent and less emotional. I will say this. I use cycles to trade and I really...

    I have a serious problem: I don't take a loss

    looks like a good book. I need one on trading bigger. Wondering if it will help with that. Parlaying just isn't my thing

    Honest and low-spread FOREX brokers?

    This is the only thing I worry about. I run 2 opposing software's side by side and 90% of the time they're damn close. However I don't trade 24/7 like some of the addicts do. In addition, like someone else on here said. The best way to get past any of these buckets (if you're having...

    Honest and low-spread FOREX brokers?

    The idiots on this site don't understand that. It's friggin logic and they just want to shovel it under the rug I guess.
