BWolinksy: You lost any credibility by actually suggesting Summers. Larry Summers was a key player in the housing/financial crisis and here you are arguing to have him hired again. Seriously ? WTF are you smoking ? This guy shouldnt be allowed anywhere near any public office or private that...

The strategy wins 60% of the time, loses 38% of the time (the rest are scratch trades). However, in a bear market it loses a lot ( almost 30% at times) ? The biggest loser is about 9% in one trade Oh, and I've made 47% in the last 10 days trading it, so I know the timing/backtesting...

I've used market orders in the ES up to 5 contracts, and only have had a 1 tick slippage almost every time. Beats trying to enter a limit order, cancel it if not filled, resend the order, etc.

Damn, I shouldnt care about my $1200 loss on Thursday, haha. I guess its all relative. Thats got to hurt, even if he has billions Gold is down almost 5% as of 4:41am today, so he;s down almost a BILLION dollars. WOW !!! Paulson Loses More Than $300 Million as Gold Declines ...

So my new system made 124% in half a year, but it has 49% losing trades, which I suspect will be higher once I backtest a few years. My question is, would it matter to you all if a system had 80% losers if it was still making large gains overall ? Do you think it matters psychologically to...

Interesting article. These guys will do anything to get their money back Thanks for posting it.

How much were they supposed to wire you ?

If you want a really simple interface and easy language to backtest, try www.StockTesting.com They use Javascript for the programming language, its completely web based, and super easy to use. I dont think you can use options, but you can test futures and forex

Is the site www.StockTesting.com ? If so, that site is pretty awesome ! I've been using it to backtest the EUR/USD and Emini for a while. Good stuff

I would try an easier language before committing to learn C++. You'll have to learn alot , from memory management to object oriented coding to debugging. I've been using www.stockTesting.com to backtest. You can write a strategy in JavaScript , backtest & auto trade all from a web browser

All of the strategies are mine. Yea, the equity curve isnt that great, but I'm just getting started using that website to write my strategies in Javascript. Kind of cool to write everything in a browser and see results to backtesting without having to download any software (even works on an...

Would you all trade a strategy that has more losers than winners, but makes money overall ? I know the psychology of having more losers is tough on us when we trade, so I'm trying to determine if I should keep retooling my strategy until I get the percentages up. Thoughts ? <iframe...

Facebook insiders are dumping millions of shares, but there has to be someone on the other side of the trade. They say there are like 250 million shares not locked up anymore as of Thursday and another 1.7 billion to be unlocked by Dec 2012. My question is, who the hell is buying all of these...

Seriously ? Buy gold/silver coins ? That seems rather silly. Zero percent chance that I'd buy anything over $10k of silver/gold unless I had my own fort with a 24/7 guards. How are you going to safeguard a metal unless you live in the middle of nowhere. There is no intrinsic value in...

I'm curious what you all do when you have excess cash that you are not trading with. Let's assume you have $500K to $1M in profits from trading and you have it sitting in a high yield savings account earning less than inflation at 0.95% APR. How do you all make your cash work for you so...

Seriously people, this is getting really crazy. And I quote: "The Securities and Exchange Commission said on Friday that beginning in February, individual U.S.-listed stocks will be prevented from trading outside a range based on recent prices." Isnt this supposed to be a free market...

Mav88: What's a "Wall Street" movie insider trading signal have to do with anything ? Come on ! Stay on topic people

Macho, Thats a good point. However what if I just traded $50K each trade, then the drawn down would be $70K and the profit would be $1M Thanks for the idea.

I tweaked it a bit but my biggest loser is huge, although the total profit is still $1.9M. I backtested starting in November 2007. At the lowest point, the account was down $164K. Assuming you trade $100K worth of contracts each trade ! Total Profit: $1,924,137.50 @NQ Last Profit...
