Quote from d08:

You mean your "Quantitative ETF" model? It's up only 2% MTD and down 8% since inception, not in the top 10 either.
If you meant the individual rankings then I couldn't find your name in there. Don't be shy, prove me wrong.

Dam, I dropped 2 places. The MTD rankings if you go to "Model Search" put me at 12th now. The model search without filters is a Monthly performance ranking so apparently I got knocked off yesterday but about 0.5% to drop behind to 12th.

At 12th and out of 191 models this puts me in the top 7%, but not the absolute top 10.

"Not working" for OP, or for the Physicist? Not sure what you mean.

Still waiting to hear from the man of the hour.

Have to get better at cutting my losers and letting my gainers run. Also implementing a restriction on discretionary fades for now. Fading PCLN on Tuesday cost 6K.

This week it was 286... That other loss was for last week.

I wish neke would get ahold of himself and listen to his friends, inside and outsid of et. Why can't you (neke) stop using your defunct system(s) and trade off of tried and true indicators with tight stops?

Actually the absurdity of yet another one of BWego's delusional responses here lies within the fact he obviously ignored neke taking a $6k loss fading PCLN... and that if Neke had strict risk management enforced on that trade he would've been truly statistically net profitable vs flat in essence. Obviously to be flat with that type of recklessness indicates that Neke's other trade/trades employed some type of proitable strategy---the only criteria BWego puts a significant amount of weight on over and over.

Once again Neke validates my assessment of what he needs to concentrate on first and foremost- risk management.

BWego-- at some point when and/if you ever put significant real $ into trading you will open up your stubborn shallow eyes to this fact.
