Can you post a few of those .SPX trades? Thnx. Also, I don't use Fidel. Here is some Esig data. Are we using the same data(date, time, open, high, low, close, vol)? 9/18/2008 6:30 1157.08 1179.06 1157.08 1173.16 59 9/18/2008 6:45 1172.47 1180.82 1168.21 1179.67 60 9/18/2008 7:00...

Let's try some different testing. Get out of Futures mode and set this up: Commission 0.01/share. No Slippage. I want to see the actual trade values and I normally only use limit orders anyway. Share size 1000 shares. $500K Account. I, again, want to see all the trades. I copied your...

Sure looks like that to me too. I'm running the code on esig $SPX 15 minute bars for the last 120 days. Net profit is -$4360. I "trade" all I can starting with $147,000. Something is not right.

BW, are these some of the trades you are getting. Something doesn't look right. thnx Short SPX15 160 12/8/2008 10:15:00 AM 901.69 12/8/2008 12:45:00 PM 907.91 -0.69 -1,001.20 10 -100.12 Jacks friend Long SPX15 158 12/9/2008 7:15:00 AM 907.59 12/9/2008 12:45:00 PM 889.16 -2.03 -2,917.95...

Hey BW, what is this tested on? 5 minute ES data? thnx

I've done wayyy better than the market for years. I guess I should give it all back...since I can't do that. :( :p

Ain't that the truth. He's done most of them!

I noticed that. Try changing some settings: Tools ---> Options ---> Content: Fonts & Colors. Click the Advanced tab there too.

AFAIK FireFox is as safe, or safer, than Explorer. But you NEED a good firewall. The new Windows firewall might be okay, but I also use ZoneAlarm. It will tell you if an unknown program is trying to send info OUT, as well as block incoming trouble. You also need a good realtime anti-virus...

I'm still stunned at how much faster pages load. Without losing any content I want. And if something is blocked that you want, you just click to enable it. Very intuitive and easy. If you try the new FF, definitely install the recommended ad-ons.

What's interesting is the fact that seemingly intelligent people were clamoring to throw BILLIONS at this guy, because he faked a steady 10% return. I feel like, as an independent trader, I could make 10% APR in my sleep. Hell, many years you get 3- 5% or whatever just from unused funds...

Actually I did try FF a couple years ago and it just didn't seem that great. Might have been my machine, but it would hang sometimes and didn't seem any better than IE. But this latest one, 3.05, installed very fast, works great, and the "plugins" install with a click. Nice program.

...People in the industry continue to question Fairfield’s due diligence. Michael Markov, a hedge fund consultant, said that he was hired by a fund two years ago to look into Fairfield Sentry’s returns and found that it was “statistically impossible to replicate them,” he said. Mr...

I just installed FF, with the ad and script blockers. Awesome. I had problems with other FF versions, but this one is working great. Pages load twice as fast with all that stuff blocked (but then I have slow satellite ISP) Try it.

Looks like you sold way too early!!! :D Nah, just kidding. You did the right thing. Market could have dropped like a stone in seconds. If anybody thinks the market will pop like this all the time then...they must believe in Goldilocks! :p But for now, LET IT RIP!!!!

I think I saw those GS calls hit $2.30, so WTG! I wouldn't stick around too long, tho. JMHO but I've always done better taking the quick profit. And with ops, those nice profits can go poof real fast. Good trading to you. :cool:

No problems here (US server).

Congrats. You nailed that one! Looks like 4.20 X 4.60 right now. But still...is it a profitable "system" over time? I hope so. update: Wow. GS is really moving now. The Dec 75s are up to about $1.50. You may be alright yet! Good luck.

Option trading can make you money in a hurry. And make you lose it even faster. This seemed like a lottery ticket to me. Expensive, way OTM calls with not much time left. I haven't checked IV, but sure looks like it pumped up big before earns, and now has dumped. With GS up about $3 right...

I don't know. I luv ya IB and I make a lot of money with your systems and markets. But you are making me a little nervous with this. Keep it light, tight and focus on the ball. Don't let me down! :cool:
