I never understood the incessant need by novice traders to use a zero-lag moving average.....zero-lag to what???? price??? Just use price....duh

also, I found this with respect to Amazon: "3rd party software that relies on specific hardware attributes for their licensing to be in effect causes problems in a virtualized environment. While the instance is running the hardware will remain the same; machine ID, MAC address, etc are all...

my main concern would be security. what's the risk of a hacker compromising the system, stealing your brokerage account info and doing some major damage...you also wouldn't want to put up any proprietary code on their systems so the code would also have to be protected too....

lack of an "edge"..whether it be technical, insider knowledge, or fundamental...pure and simple cut the psycho crap....

Hi Ryan, Where are you getting your short float info? I'm looking at yahoo finance and only see 7.19M shares short and not 14M...although % of float is still 24%

Thanks for the clarification Anek.

That's perfectly fine...move at your own pace and MANAGE YOUR RISK and you'll be ballin in a few years...think "long-term - ie., 3-5 years+" and "compounding returns" from my end it doesn't look like there's much you need to change...just grind it out day in and day out at YOUR PACE and...

It seems as if you're relying too much on statistics. Actual trading rarely plays out like the backtested statistics for any sustained period of time. Another approach would be to use your signals only as a guideline for entering the market. Then, use your discretion to determine whether to...

With a Percent Profitable of 63.71% and a Ratio Avg. Win:Avg. Loss of 0.73, you will have almost no margin for error. Unless you can avoid ever making mistakes, this system is not workable without further refinement.

Dude, your thread is becoming stellar spectacular :)

Hi MFB, what's your take on using ACD to trade the ES? thanks in advance

+1 to OP

NinjaTrader is my preferred screening platform. I can screen for almost any idea I can come up with. However, you do need the ability to code in c-sharpe.

personally, I would take half off the table when price reaches 1:1 risk:reward and let the balance ride. oh noooos here comes the "all-in all-out" crowd :D

seems plausible. a little overkill with the indicators. However, the more important question, is where do you exit if you're wrong? AND How will you manage the position (assuming spy or ES is your instrument) when the trade moves in your favor or doesn't move as expected?
