    Question to profitable automated traders

    I defiantly break the elite trader type! Special Ed High School drop out, did not know how to read or do math as a teen. Picked up everything on my own. I could fix or design just about anything, and scored an 89 the first time around on my Series 7. Worked prop for 5 yrs and have been writing...

    Learn to trade successfully in 3 weeks!

    I worked with one guy at Worldco that learned in 6 months and never had a loosing month since. It took me 4 years. Schonfelds top trader took 5 years of loosing money and begging to quit before he turned. On average the learning curve is 2 to 5 years to be net profitable! About 6 months to start...

    how does this system looks?

    I forgot to add that when back testing a day trading system the results should be consistent every month as far back as you can go. If they don’t you just found something that is a that does not work long term and soon the system will start loosing.

    how does this system looks?

    I would not use that system with real money! You need to account for $30 per contract slippage and commission as a general rule! Actually most of the time it’s $12.50 slippage and then the commission on the es.. Here is what I am running on 90 days back test and this is without...

    Why do you Like Tradestation Program and Brokerage

    Pros and cons on TS. The best charts period. Back testing is easy but makes quite a bit of mistakes on tick data. When the real money hits the tape expect some real issues. An example is a trading system running and it executes a trade then you get stopped out. You shut down the system and...

    Marijuana top U.S. cash crop, bigger than corn and wheat combined

    I guess the government does not get it. Hallmark for example can only sell cards for a few holidays a year. But for pot farmers there are as many as two 4:20 a day….Chachingoo

    Mechanical systems a route to the poor house.

    I can say this, systems do work! I have a few that work great picking tops and bottoms intra day on indexes. But it took me over 5 years to figure out how and why to write a system. Personally I never believed in system trading until about a year ago. I spent 3 of those years trading prop and...

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    Wow I did not know it was already that bad in some of these areas! I guess it is another opportunity… If I lived in some of these places I would be buying these houses for pennies on the dollar. Not to flip them. But if I got them cheap enough and with the rates out pricing buyers I would make...

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    I don’t work in Georgia, so I am not too familiar. I know about that foreclosure market because I read an analyst report a few weeks back from the National Realtor Association. If you want to find foreclosures look for property wholesalers or investment clubs. That’s the easiest way...

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    uptik, there was a big slow down in Florida. Just not the major cities. I while back I was working for a hedge fund that starting flipping land in the Florida sticks. Lot’s were going through the roof and you could not buy them fast enough. Now you can not give them away. Banks are foreclosing...

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    The point I was trying to make is this. Foreclosure wise in a state like Kentucky you can find houses for 20 cents on the dollar all day long! A place like South FL it is still hard to get a house 80 cents on the dollar. As long as there is demand prices go up. But just as quickly in areas that...

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    I forgot to add that the answer to you question is not really when will the foreclosure rates be the highest, but where. Right now I believe it is Georgia. Each town or city has different cycles. Just like market sectors

    When will the highest forclosure rate be?

    The market is completely local. Places like up state NY always have high foreclosure rates. They just don’t have enough jobs and there is too much land available to choose from. Then look at areas like Manhattan or South Florida that have a growing job market and limited amount of land. The...
