Thanks. But my belief: you get what you pay for. ONE BUCK FOR THE BOOK ?

Well, in today's legal-oriented society, that is somewhat utopian. Here is my story. 7 years ago, one July Friday afternoon, 3 cop cars pulled up to my house. My wife was home at the time and witnessed them hand-cuffing me and taking me off to jail. It was well orchestrated with township...

Yep, seen that too. Many corrupt judges out there. That's why I won't ever, EVER pledge allegiance again..... "with liberty and justice for all". BULLSHIT

You came back from -4500 ? Wow, that was impressive !!!

Finally some logical and economical thinking. We truly were living in a bubble for the past decade. There was a lot of "wiggle room" for bullshit activities like the above. Not in THIS economy. The tea party will make the needed changes.

NO, he's actually right. I've seen many traders blow-up and it is usually from lack of discipline, BUT NOT ALWAYS. I've seen the cases where the traders used tight stops resulting in only 1 out of 4 trades ending up a winner. They ended up losing in a slow, painful way...like bleeding to death...

That is exactly right. All of this outsourcing of software work has produced mediocre products-at-best. That is what is being experienced here. The GUI is important...in fact, it's VITAL towards building great software. Gatling is correct in his assertion this could have been done much better.

Exactly. If great traders were posting, then Stevie Cohen would be posting here every day. He's not.

Test of recent lows coming up by Nov. Double bottom in TLT ?

What you have to do is evaluate this situation: 1) why did your systems not take advantage of this ? 2) does this event occur often enough to force you to reconsider it's value and therefore change your strategies ?

Wow, very impressive. You from the USA ? This sounds "surreal"...that's why I ask !

Thank goodness. I met one "hedge fund manager wanna be" and he had this system for playing OPENING GAPS. Wow, there was no software that could handle this...he had to get everything custom-programmed. In the end, it was a failure because he forgot to QUALIFY his list to LIQUID stocks. He'd get...

What was his strategy ?

whew....who is THAT ?

add to that: the backtesting was probably do one or more of the following: 1) buying at the bid and selling at the ask. 2) no slippage was taken into account 3) stop orders probably assumed a 7x24 market....the huge risk with options is that any stop losses can be executed MILES away from...

S70: Equity Options Strategy, hold time 1 month. Based on a single technical indicator, it's a coin flip that benefits from theta and delta changes. Based on the above description, I'd say it's a Las Vegas strategy-at-best. Get out Get out GET OUT.
