Don, I'm not backing anyone. I just wanted the dialogue. LOL. I just wanted to discuss the merits of a commission or fee based model vs a p&l model. LOL. Don, you must have been much more charming when you met your wife for the first time. :)

No, I do NOT agree. Sometimes bonds are leading the spoos. Sometimes the Dollar is. Sometimes Oil. And yes Don, sometime AAPL catches a bid which draws a bid into the spoos. You can't make blanket statements like that. And come on Don, you admitted on this forum your days of tick f*cking...

That doesn't qualify as dialogue Don. LOL. Look Don, I know you come here to ET to sell. But not all of us are selling something. Some of us actually like sharing intellectual dialogue with each other. Even if we can only get a few posts in before the trolls show up, sometimes it's...

Don, after looking at some of these performance reports, I would back some of them. At least under the rules and restrictions TST is using. Of course this is cherry picking the winners. That guy that dropped 18k in one day I wouldn't go anywhere near. But that is what this combine is for...

Don, I think all these people have different issues and I think some of them are fair and valid. Others not so much. I did have an issue with your statement earlier about futures and equities. It was not meant as a criticism, but more from a practical matter. I love to have intellectual...

Don, I see you've met my good friend gmst. :)

Actually I would back him. His winners are three times as big as his losers and look at how fast he drops his losers. On avg about one or two minutes. I like this guy. Love the consistency and this is with Crude Oil!

Wait a minute, are you legally blind? It says he made money on 60% of his days. Did you see that.....60%!!!!!!

They basically split you into one of two categories. If you are a scalper, you more then likely will have a high winning percentage but your average loser might be greater then your avg winner. If you are holding for larger moves, you probably get stopped out more and therefore have a low...

OK, here we go again. If you actually "read" the site, you would know that you need "2 of the 3" criteria. So while he did NOT meet the % winners criteria, he DID meet the avg win duration is greater then avg loss duration and avg winner is greater then avg loser. The website people, read the...

CTD, no update?

OK, Don, I was trying to stay out of this but then you said this. That statement is patently false. And your brother is 100% proof. Don, there is nothing mystical about futures. They are EXACTLY the same as ETFs. They simply have more leverage via their reduced margin requirements. Trading...

From my Trade Station days, I remember this being a measurement of how long you sit in your winners and losers. I think Ninja has this as well. So say you get long crude and get out at a loss and you were in the trade for a total of 5 minutes. Then your duration will read 0:05. Then your...

I never said "all" 22 years olds think that way. I'm simply saying after reviewing the trade reports, I see this pattern more often then random.

Well, it's more nuanced then that. I think what commodity players look at is when you have a market that is structured a certain way for extended periods of time and that structure changes, usually there is a fundamental reason for this. The calendar spreads usually represent the cost of...

How?

LOL. You really think some 22 year old cares about that after he paid $200 to $300 for the combine?

What do they have to lose?

Ammo, I've been looking around trying to find a chart that shows this the most clearly. Perhaps this one will help. It's not terribly easy to see since it's a very long term chart. But for three years the market was in contango for the steady rise. This means you had an upward sloping...

I've noticed this a lot and I've mentioned it many times on this thread. The problem is when guys are at the end of the combine and they are "probably" not going to qualify, they have nothing to lose by gunning it the last day. And many of them do and have their best day. You could also argue...
