I appreciate that the 1% is a proposed average - but surely you need to give your method a decent chance by implementing it as often as possible. Also, I'm not sure I see the same long term trend as you:

Your actions make no sense. Instead of taking a small loss you've just sat on it for weeks hoping for an eventual retracement. According to the premise (and title) of this thread, you could have made that loss back in 4 days of active trading. Do you really think this trade will be up $2500...

Annualized return 27% with max drawdown 46% - not a good sign if you're trying to increase reward to risk ratio.

Wow - that is one wacky website!

American exceptionalism of course!

It always puzzles me that Americans refer to the downfall of the USA as if its ascendency was meritorious in the first place.

4K projectors are available, but it'll be a while before they're affordable: http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/blog/2011/11/30/4k-here

After a quick search I see that EricP is still occasionally posting.

What price does it need to get to for you to reach break-even?

Is recommending LGA 1366 a good idea since it has been superseded by LGA 2011, and new processor support has been discontinued? Maybe if you really want or need the extra power of a (Intel) hex-core at the cheapest price? - If going with i7 I'd suggest to take the slightly cheaper 3770...

As a guess, it could be that due to the changes, Firefox is not recognising those pages as the previously visited pages in which you have zoomed in on. So they are reverting to the default until you re-zoom in. I've not seen any built-in method of changing the default. I would just use a...

5th amendment applies to which questions you must answer - you still need to turn up at court.

I've found that the RAM usage is more related to the number of charts and the software used to generate the charts, rather than the number of monitors. For instance, when using TWS charts, the very inefficient Java program used to create the charts uses excessive amounts of RAM for each...

One word: Niederhoffer :p

I actually had to stop the video - I couldn't take any more.

I've never performed an actual analysis of them, but just from watching IB's EUR/USD feed next to 6E - they track very precisely. There are obviously differences in that the EUR/USD can have a spread as low as 0.5 pips while 6E is minimum 1 tick. During very rapid price movements the prices...

You would only see an improvement in performance if the writing of the data and subsequent reading of it, is a bottleneck in the first place. Depending on what your doing - write speed may not be at all important . If you have a high frequency trading system, then putting it all in ramdisk...

It would make sense if all the required data was supplied by your broker, but as your modelling quality of 40% indicates, the tester is having to guess what happens within a bar, so the result isn't going to be a true reflection of live trading. Besides, if your broker's datafeed differs...
