Been using Ninja since it started some years ago and V6 is great.

Wonderful. Totally agree except Jesse Livermore did not know one vital key to trading, managing risk in relation to size. In the end Jesse blew his account and himself up. Figuring out why he did is the most important part of his book. Please, I personally don't want anything. But if you...

Thanks for your interesting cyclic work. You still posting somewhere?

You are right. Only useful for single market trader.

Take it from me the traders who have been trading for 10+ years know this is a BIG IMPORTANT step and are very interested in how you go from here. How robust do you think your software is? Has it made over 20 sim trades in one market in a day for instance without a mistake?

Good work. Here's an idea I worked on manually some years ago. Might get you somewhere. Equity bar charts. Amazing what you learn from analysing it. Bar 1 Open =0 Bar 1 High = Highest equity of (3) bars Bar 1 Low =Lowest equity of 3 bars Bar 1 Close = Equity at end of 3 rd trade...

So what does your best look like? What other measurements besides PF , number of trades and sharpe have you found are really useful and build confidence in the system?

So can this apply to trading? Are systems just ideas? "These are all the 'rules' I am aware of. The biggest error most folk make when going into business for themselves is to believe single-mindedly in their 'idea'. Ideas are literally ten-a-penny. Execution is the real key and to achieve it...

Thank you very much for posting those results. It is finally nice to see some real numbers.

Thank you for your figures. That is a good system for you. Nice work. The software is built using a collection of what I consider the best ideas but basically works with the drawdown and is simple to use. After putting hundreds of system results through it I have learned what makes for a...

Not sure what a Gineas is? nor do I follow your motivation in posting.

I can achieve a PF of 2.0+ on discretionary trading, but with Trade Station or other automatic systems I have yet to see it. I'm not concerned about the PF as a measure. It sits fine with me. I guess anyone with an automated system that has a PF of 2.0+ and a sharpe of 1.6 just ain't...

Just want to know if anyone has ever seen one? Lots of talk on ET on trading wisdom. Well for me personally that means a PF of 2.0+

It's automated. It motivates me to improve consistency. Tells me immediately after a trade is closed how many lots to place on the next position. Tells me whether the system will blow up with size. Everything that is in Trade Station Summary plus more. Years ago I read these quotes. "you...

Yes. It also calculates from the history of trades the % drawdown to be experienced. A system set to a 5% drawdown might make $5000 over 'n' trades. wheras same system at a 25% drawdown will make $100,000. Many traders try and improve the system to make more profits, I improve the...

Years ago I realized trading involved 3 states of being. Analyst A Trader T Manager M Being good at all three gave me a card to the old 'hole in the wall'-ATM machine. Consistency +Compounding = Millions So I developed a great compounding software that checked drawdown...

Good Morning Goodday, With a couple of days to go till month end I thought I'd give you some performance analysis based solely on your posted results on this thread since the beginning of August. My very determined 79 year old mother gave me a card today with just 4 words on it...
