PM Robert Tharpe, I think he is rtharpe on ET. He is a manager with them. Good luck and welcome to EliteTrader.

As Don said, it is the fourth Tuesday in January, annually. He will talk some about economic stimulus, maybe even specifically about the end to double taxation of dividends, which will be a positive for value stocks that pay dividends. The main topic is considered to be the relationship...

I read an article the other day how more companies are starting to forego the quarterly earnings report so they can "focus on the long term." To me this is a crock. What does the Q report have to do with long term goals? Here are the long term goals, and here is how we are doing so far in...

acrary your analyses are so good. Fun to work thru too. Although, I am not clear on your conclusions. Given the same returns, is a smoother equity curve superior? As you have read no doubt, my premise is that all of the factors that control return are moot in this thread because the return is...

Noooooooo! Equity curve and drawdown are essentially the same. The question is whether a smooth equity curve is superior to one less smooth, given equal returns. All this other stuff is just stuff and circumspection. It has nothing to do with expectancy, or profits, or ratios, or executions ar...

Don't forget the original question states that both methods have the same returns. I don't know where the concept that drawdowns do not matter is coming from. My first reply, as all replies should be, is directed towards the original question. Given identical returns, drawdown doesn't matter...

Yes it would man, and you make a very good point as do many of your posts. In this case however, I refer again to the thread author's original post which states that the return for either method is the same. If the original question were, "which is better for producing profits, a small or...

Serious bids should be coming to you via PM as you requested. I edited your quote for brevity, but I don't recall you asking for bids to be posted here in the thread. As such, check your mailbox.

Whoa now... you guys are gettin' crazy!!!

"Assuming the two result in the same return, would more winners be superior because it result in a smoother equity curve?" You make my point Fluidity without even realizing it. Drawdown is the question, and drawdown tolerance is the answer. Successful turtletraders, as I understand it...

A veritable bidding fenzy... bordering on frothy.

The original question says both methods have the same return. As such, I don't think your analysis applies to this specific question. The question seems to be centered on whether a smooth equity curve is better than one less smooth. To me, that is merely a matter of preference, ie...

I don't understand the question.

The fallacy of this statement lies in the presumption that S/R is something derived on its own. It is not. S/R is determined by price reversal. When price pulls back from a rally into new territory, the new high is considered resistance. When price sells off and runs into the 200 sma, it's...

In fact, one of the subscription websites uses 200 shares per trade. They are happy to hit singles and doubles to win the game vs counting on home runs. Nice idea stockerup.

That's what they said about the other Number 1 football team that also has the nickname "Bucks"... just a little different spelling. :)

Bad advice Jack. Assets that are shifted to avoid litigation are considered reachable. Also, Crabel would be considered a celebrity in this field and as such charges of liable and slander are exceptionally difficult to support. Were it not so, programs such as Saturday Night Live, The Tonight...

This should be the mantra of every new and newer trader. Nice one Lobster! Thank you. :)

Dustin you raise a legit point. I actually use QLink for EOD data, or when intraday still only OHLCV. Thanks for making that distinction.

This is not for scalpers please. For daytraders, how many shares per trade do you put on? Thanks.
